Perfume Parlour Agar Gold Stronger Version is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007. Agar Gold Stronger Version opens with Rosewood, Sichuan Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Oud, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Perfume Parlour's Agar Gold Stronger Version carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Agar Gold Stronger Version targets Tom Ford Oud Wood, and this boosted release is one of Perfume Parlour's closer woody matches - smooth oud, cardamom and creamy sandalwood. It reads slightly flatter and sweeter than the polished original, but the 'Stronger' tuning lifts its projection and longevity above the house norm.

About

Agar Gold Stronger Version opens with a peppery cardamom and rosewood spice before the smoky-smooth oud and sandalwood heart takes over - the refined, never-medicinal oud that made Tom Ford Oud Wood a modern classic. The base settles into amber, vanilla and tonka for a warm, slightly creamy finish. This boosted 'Stronger' formulation is among Perfume Parlour's more faithful woody dupes, capturing the linear, elegant character of the original with better-than-usual performance for the house. Against the real Oud Wood it still reads a touch flatter and sweeter, the sandalwood less silky and the oud less nuanced, but the overall impression is convincingly close. A genuinely versatile budget oud that works year-round and dresses up easily for formal wear.
