The review

On paper, Agar Gold (Stronger Version) is a strong bet if you want Oud Wood for less.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Oud Wood's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $122 per 100ml it costs 80% less than Oud Wood — the 23rd cheapest of 26 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on rosewood, cardamom and pepper, turns to oud, sandalwood and vetiver, and settles into tonka, vanilla and amber. That is the brief Agar Gold (Stronger Version) is working from.

Top

  • rosewood
  • cardamom
  • pepper

Heart

  • oud
  • sandalwood
  • vetiver

Base

  • tonka
  • vanilla
  • amber
For your first oud, and your last. Rosewood and cardamom soften smoky agarwood and vanilla — refined, creamy, effortlessly upscale.
