Agar Intense Inspired By Tom Ford's Oud Wood Intense

Initially, it felt a little harsh and either unbalanced or un-blended, but I was still drawn to it and kept smelling the atomizer over the next few weeks. I don’t know if IT changed, or my perception changed, but a month later and it’s blowing my mind how good it is! Strong wood with a little smokiness and leather.
For reference, I’m not a fan of the regular Agar/Oud Wood, but love H7/M7 (on the fresher side of oud), and John Varvatos Dark Rebel.

I am really glad AF offers their economical and convenient sample packs. We get 35mls of various scents of our choosing to try before going all in on a full bottle for only 50$. I have ordered 49 frags in 7 boxes since I began this journey with AF. This last one I went for oud based fragrances so I can experience the different interpretations of this note. THE standout one for me Damascus Rose, of which I immediately bought the 55ml, then followed closely by Agar Intense. Animalic, complex and dark, I imagine it represents another interesting facet of the creative mind of Tom Ford, who's work is legendary in our community. Most are out of my price range, so thank you AF for letting us all in on the luxury world of scents! It makes it hard for me to stick with my resolution to limit my full bottle purchases to one per month with AF, but it's exciting getting that parcel in the mail every time!

Incredibly close to the original fragrance. Oud Wood intense is strange. The first time I smelled it I didn’t like it but it grew on me and I became crazy about it. To the point I was about to buy a whole bottle. Then I found Agar intense. This is actually a fragrance you can wear. It’s a different scent but I absolutely love it. It smells so close but a lot more smooth. Not only will it be enjoyable for you to wear, it is also enjoyable for other people to smell. It gives off a powerful and confident vibe. Great job on this one.

This is what I expected an Alpha male to smell like. Brutal , refined and elegant. Definitely not the powdery quality of the original, but more bold, stand out, secure and sexy. I got the oud, the cypress and the juniper TO MY FACE and I so much liked it! Give this a try.
