Which Should You Buy?
A modern icon that balances exotic oud with creamy woods and warm spice, Oud Wood is both inviting and quietly commanding. Its luxurious blend exudes sophistication without brashness, perfect for those who want depth without heaviness.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Oud Wood's warmth, spiciness, and woody-resinous richness shine in cooler weather, making it ideal for fall and winter. Its smooth, less animalic oud and subtle spice render it wearable in spring, but the depth can overwhelm in high summer heat.
Occasions
Its refined, luxurious woody-spicy blend is perfect for formal and evening occasions, but its smooth character and moderate sillage make it versatile enough for upscale date nights and even understated office wear. Not suitable for sports due to depth and richness.
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.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Warm Spicy, Aromatic accords and Cardamom, Pink Pepper notes
