If you're not a fragrance snob and don't mind getting a clone, get Woody Oud by Maison Alhambra on Amazon for like 1/6 the price. Same quality and scent. Pretty much 99%.
I do not believe that one bit about the merchandise being old stock/returns. Screw that authorized retailer stuff. Thats so the public gets hosed via price fixing by groups of retailers locked into Map pricing. I would challenge that assesment and I would like real proof of that. A woman can buy Lamer from them or Saks 5th. Saks 5th a few hundred more per. for the same item. Some Costco customers will use half the jar and return for 100% no questions refund.

Oud Wood is another TF fragrance that men like but women seem blah on. If your target audience is men, this is probably a good scent. But if your target is women, there are probably better scents. At least according to my wife and daughter and their friends. Although I'm sure there are women who like it, but it seems like a scent that guys like a lot.

Fyi - Costco stock is almost always old inventory/returns, etc. They are NOT authorized retailers of P&G, Loreal, Prestige Produxts, etc.
Pro tip: check the batch codes for mfg date, it's usually 1-2 years old (at least). That translates into decreased overall performance, sometimes significantly depending on the synthetic molecules used in the recipe.
I have some Tom Fords including Oud Wood and my opinion is that none of them have great longevity for me, especially when considering the typical retail price point. However a 3.4oz bottle at this extremely low price says just use more often if you like this particular scent.

Can confirm - have returned several fragrances after poor performance. Even contacted Le Labo for a bad spritzer on a bottle from Coscto hoping they would help. They wouldn't offer any help because Costco isn't an authorized reseller.

I have it. Yes, it smells good but it doesn't have good projection and doesn't have good Sillage. After one hour, its just close to arm length only. If people wants to feel good then they can have and feel good by themselves. Don't take me wrong, the perfume smells great and love to smell on myself but its no rebuy from me as I prefer having the perfume with 3-4 hours of projection.
