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.

If you're getting to fragrances start with any of those. All are extremely close to the original and some better.

Good info!
For anyone wanting any Cologne or Perfume to stay longer on them, simply buy a scent free lotion (of your preference) and mix a bit of the cologne/perfume until satisfied and use that instead.
Note: consider using a separate (glass) container for portioning.
Works with Vaseline as well but it's not great for skin in my opinion.

OR you can layer your cologne/perfume with ISO SUPER 01 (Look on Etsy sold by ScentLabUk, 3.4oz bottle only $25) OR if you want more projection, get MOLECULE AMBROXAN 02. For poor performance cologne/perfume, you can use layer with both ISO SUPER 01 and MOLECULE AMBROXAN 02.
We went to dinner with this couple and the husband was wearing this. We just kept looking at each without saying a word, but thinking "This guy smells GROSS"
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.

Señor chemist, you're overthinking this. The synthetics and natural ingredients can last a long time and still have great performance. The problem comes down to storage, temperature, and light. I still wear my creed fragrances from 2013.

I agree, Tom Ford fragrances are highly overrated, use cheap ingredients, and suck.

The thing about Tom Ford fragrances are that a lot are love it or hate it. Black Orchid, Tuscan Leather, Oud Wood, Noir Anthracite, Tobacco Vanille and many others. But what I like is.. Tom Ford takes the chance with them and sells them at a ridiculous price. And many of those scents have been knocked off so many times now, because he took that chance. There weren't really cherry fragrances until Lost Cherry came out, now everything's got a cherry scent to it. Most other designers are releasing very safe and similar smelling things to each other, but I like that TF goes out there with some funky stuff and I generally like what he puts out!
