INITIO PARFUMS PRIVÉS Oud for Greatness Eau de Parfum

I really don't get the BR540 comparison. Yes, they both have saffron and musk, but BR540 is much much sweeter and much more feminine. I don't get any resemblance to Aventus or Oud Satin Mood either and I own all of these fragrances.

This is a more sensual, masculine blend of oud, saffron and nutmeg. It is not an animalic/barnyard type of oud, rather, woody and smoky (I believe it is natural oud, but difficult to know for sure), very safe for most occasions. The nutmeg and saffron give it a gourmand, almost chocolately vibe. If you like this type of fragrance profile, this will be a big winner for you.

Longevity was way past the 12-hour mark with 6 sprays to different parts of my skin, on clothing it will last until it is washed. It projects phenomenally, especially in the first few hours, leaving a trail everywhere. Afterwards, it still projects but within arms-length reminding you that it is there.

I think if you are not used to proper oud, then you need to give it time. I think it is a great buy especially if you can get it discounted but definitely a "try before you buy".

One of my favorites. I don't think I've ever used the word divine to describe something, but it's fitting here. This is seductive and enticing and every time I get a whiff of myself while wearing this I feel like it's the best thing I've ever smelled. On me it seems to get stronger as the first hour of wear progresses and then hangs around.

Lots of saffron and nutmeg here. There is a hint of that same sweetness from BKR540 and Tiziana Terenzi's Spirito Fiorentino, but this is so much more complex from the saffron and nutmeg and definitely not the "same scent." It doesn't really smell "oudy," but I'm guessing it just serves as a base here.

I'll do it short and simple.
Scent: holy shitttt this is so God damn amazing.

Quality: fuckin fantastic.

Performance: you know beast mode, well fuck that. If a T-rex wanted a great signature scents, this would be it.

Price: good lord, I better start putting one of my kidneys for sale on ebay.

Conclusion: I mean, if you really don't know my take on it based on my professional review, than you need to see a shrink ASAP

Too much gives me a headache.
Just the right amount makes me feel like sipping ambrosia from the skulls of my crushed enemies while I seize their lands, and listen to the laments of their women.

Blind bought this for Christmas. Jeez this scent is so good. It smells like it's ultra high quality. Starts off oudy then gets sweet and smooooooth. Very strong smelling and lasts for ever. 5 star scent
