Agar Gold

I’m surprised not many people are raving about this. It’s an absolute powerhouse! I bought it for my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day. 2-3 sprays fills the room and lasts well over 12 hours. It’s very woody, deep, and sexy. The oud and spices gives it an exotic feel. I haven’t smelled the original TF Oud Wood, but I heard it has poor performance - Definitely go with this one if you are debating on purchasing the original. This is an amazing choice for the price.

This is nice. It’s similar to TF oud wood but you can’t detect all of the sophisticated facets like you can with the original. It’s more of a Oud Woods vibe than a 1-1 copy. Sweet, spicy, resinous, but muted. If you like this DNA try out Brioni Intense EDP. It does that sweet resinous westernized oud thing extremely well and for an excellent price. As far as Alt Agar Wood...not bad, not funky, nor synthetic smelling, but not a show stopper either. For the price, 19.99 at Burlington, it’s a good introduction into this style.

I acquired this fragrance as a gift. and to say I think it is a safe introduction to OUD's as it is soft and clean. I layer this fragrance with a darker oud and it works very well... by itself it is sweet and unoffensive... as a comparison to TF Oudwood I would say maybe a little bit... but, not nowhere near the complexity and quality! A better find would be Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir.

Not bad really, just wasn't for me. Gave it away to my Step-Father who seems to like it.

Accurate clone of Tom Ford's Oud Wood - very sharp, bitter, mature scent profile. It's good, just not ideal for young adults

I recently bought the Maison Alhambra dupe line of the Tom Ford Private Blends. They're all surprisingly great, but Woody Oud was the only one that slightly missed the mark. It's about 85% similar, but has a slightly musty/sour accord. My friend randomly handed me a bottle of ALT. Agar Gold today and asked me to try it out. I sprayed it on my hand, not knowing what it was a clone of. I immediately said, "that's Tom Ford Oud Wood". This clone is much closer to Oud Wood than Woody Oud. The scent is 95% Oud Wood or higher. I have a decant of Oud Wood and when comparing the 2, I don't even smell a difference in quality. This is a 10/10 clone. I ordered a bottle immediately afterwards. It was a nice surprise because I never would have bought this on my own accord. With so many clone houses out there, this one wasn't even on my radar. Longevity is great because it's an extrait.

Something definitely deep and attractive about this. A clone of TF Oud wood? I think it’s better but what do I know? It’s definitely remarkably similar and for the price a no-brainer. Spray 10 times though and every 5 hours or so because it doesn’t last but damn does it open right. Linear though. No fancy language to describe it. It’s rich, oudy and woody. I love it.
