Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Wood Intense EDP
Tom Ford Oud Wood Intense is a bold, divisive beast that's definitely not for the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a cult following, often described as fiercely masculine and unapologetic.
Statement
Our Verdict - Agar Intense EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a confident, animalic leather dream; for others, a garage floor nightmare. Definitely not a blind buy unless you live for challenging, intense woody scents.

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

This fragrance is an absolute powerhouse in both longevity and sillage, making it too overwhelming for an office environment. Its intense, animalic, and leathery profile is best reserved for formal events or a confident statement on a date night rather than casual wear or sport.

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong projection and distinctive, animalic character, Agar Intense is too bold for an office setting unless applied with extreme restraint. Its luxurious, robust woody and leather accords make it an excellent choice for formal events and special occasions where you want to make a statement, and many reviewers suggest it works well for dates or confident casual wear too.
