The Escentric line, including Escentric 05, is viewed as a decent introductory option to niche molecular fragrances with better longevity than their pure Molecule counterparts. However, the community consensus is that short overall performance makes them better suited for decants rather than full-size bottles, and they lack the strong enthusiasm seen for other fig-forward fragrances in the community.

Tom Ford Oud Wood is genuinely well-regarded by the community as a beautiful, unique woody fragrance that deserves its reputation despite hype concerns. However, poor skin longevity (especially post-reformulation) is a consistent frustration for the price point, leading many to recommend cheaper alternatives like Nishane Kredo or Thameen Carved Oud for better performance.
