Carved Oud

Which Should You Buy?
Perfume Parlour's 30 ml Express format of the Agar Gold dupe of Tom Ford Oud Wood (2007). The same Richard Herpin pyramid - cardamom, sandalwood, oud, vanilla - in PP's small-format pour variant for travel and trial. Honest dupe-fidelity at a sample-able size.
Carved Oud is often lauded as the superior, smoother evolution of Tom Ford's Oud Wood. Expect a well-blended, sophisticated woody scent that gets plenty of love, but some find its performance underwhelming for the price.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Identical season profile to Agar Gold - sandalwood-oud-vanilla-amber sits firmly in autumn and winter, with spring viable at low dosage. Less natural in summer.
Occasions
Soft-oud woody-spicy in 30ml travel format fits formal evening, date, and dinner wear naturally; office viable at low dosage. Too distinctive for sport.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and smooth, refined woody character make it exceptional for the office, dates, and semi-formal wear, as noted by many reviewers. While not a casual 'jeans and t-shirt' scent, its versatility allows for dressier casual settings, but it's completely unsuitable for sport.
