I just tried my sample today, OMGOODNESS!!! I have fallen in love!!! I am completely impressed with this fragrance. Your description is spot on, thank you for sharing!
Instead of investing your money on Oud for glory, purchase a 10-20ml decant of intio Oud for greatness. The depth, lasting, projection it offers is no way closer to the clone Glory.
I blind bought Initio OFG and Side Effect and they are both very strong and need getting used to. Now that we are moving into colder months I’m going to give them a try.
Kid, you're doing great. Yes, there's a half dozen well known reviewers, but, you do have a low key presentation that is pleasing too me and others I'm sure. I can only handle so much of CubaKnow in a day😂
Oud For Greatness is 🔥. I don’t get to wear it much, but now that it’s getting cooler, I’m looking forward to reaching for this more. Another great review. Holla.
I can attest to the olfactory fatigue on this. I can never smell it on myself after about an hour. It seems completely gone on my skin. But my wife said it punched her in the face when I got in her car
The beginning the middle and the dry down sensation off the meat rack great fragrance manly to oil is for me don’t need the Colonge you just need a little to with the oil and it’s not even strong on my skin
Omg you should try to oil i brought it at a local Arabic perfume shop it is out of this world 🌍 amazing 10/10 wow i love it ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🤣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Got a small sample on my skin at Neiman Marcus earlier today wasn't sure if I would like it and about an hour later walking around the mall I smelled it and realized I had sprayed it on I went back and bought a bottle this is one of my all-time favorites total slam dunk
I don't get the BR540 comparison at all. The Oud (yes I know there really isn't any Oud in this. I've seen the Aaron Hughes video) doesn't take long before it starts taking over and the way it's rendered is so woody and spicy and masculine with a hint of soapiness that it smells like a freshie. There's a vague relation to sandalwood there but still distinctive. Still it's own thing. It's almost effervescent as well so I'm getting strong Bleu de Chanel vibes. Now I'm starting to wonder what a oud/agarwood-based blue or green freshie would smell like. I bet it would smell marvelous and would dethrone BdC as the new king of masculine freshies.
I’m debating to return my ROJA “ elysium “ bc it reminds me of creed aventus. Anyway Initio “ oud for greatness “ is very unique. So… having said that is oud greatness wearable in the summer time? Let me know. Appreciate it.
Nose blindness seems to be such a contradictory term for me.I can accept color blindness because it's related to vision but vision and smell are two completely opposite things/senses.I will be looking for the correct term that would describe a loss of smell and will post it in every fragrance reviewer' channels on RUclips!.
Though I love the fragrance I have to agree. Nothing to do with Oud whatsoever. More saffron to my nose. This could pass as a Baccarat Rouge 540 flanker.
I lived in Florida 10+ yrs it gets cold in Florida maybe not enough to justify 400$ but don’t make it seem as if it’s always hot because it does get cool
So this is a oud fragrance for club persons and average Joes? I'm more into xerjoff oud stars and such where the oud fragrance is more challenging and is sprayed more for self expression. Not for social affirmation. I was going to buy a bottle of this but may pass now.
To my nose nothing remotely related to 540. The oud (which to me is by far the prominent note) note here has a very Middle Eastern oud style to it. This a more western adaption to the Middle EKastern style but that style in just not my thing. I should say if I lived in the Middle East I would appreciate it more and wear it. The design of it is like a Tom Ford Oud but a Middle Eastern style, dirtier and with the oud a lot stronger and more animalistic.
Impossible. This is hands down the most powerful fragrance I've ever purchased. Not only is it a room filler, but only 1 spray will last on your skin for days even after showering. I sprayed it in my hair and even after shampooing the scent was still there. I sprayed a hoodie with it 6 months ago and it still smells like it. Honestly it's kinda annoying because I'm not the biggest fan of the scent in general.
@@titozamora9500 Dior Bois d'Argent is my favorite tbh. It mixes well with your pheromones and makes it very alluring and you'll stand out. Got my craziest off-the-wall comments using it.
@@titozamora9500 I'm planning on buying Le Labo Another 13 pretty soon. It's one of the best fragrances I've sampled throughout the years. Smells a little "cologne-y" but its definitely high quality and grabs attention as well. Great performance too.
I wore this and I was told I smelled old. Thank god it was a decant and I didn’t fall for the hype. This stuff is way too spicy and too aggressive and too stout with a dash of mothballs. Don’t like this at all.

I’ve sampled so many oud niche fragrances out there. Oud greatness is absolutely addicting. ROJA and initio Is tough choice for me.
This is my absolute all time favourite fragrance
This has been my go-to since May. Favorite in the collection, hands down. Back up worthy.
Instead of investing your money on Oud for glory, purchase a 10-20ml decant of intio Oud for greatness. The depth, lasting, projection it offers is no way closer to the clone Glory.
This kiddo has grown up so fast!
Glorious fragrance with a decent review!
I blind bought Initio OFG and Side Effect and they are both very strong and need getting used to. Now that we are moving into colder months I’m going to give them a try.
which do you prefer?
Oud for Greatness and Side Effect are two of my favorite Initio Fragrances.
Also rehab
OFG is amazing, need to try Side Effect :)
Same! And Rehab!!
Bought Oud for Glory yesterday, the best clone there is, and I love it! ❤
Kid, you're doing great. Yes, there's a half dozen well known reviewers, but, you do have a low key presentation that is pleasing too me and others I'm sure. I can only handle so much of CubaKnow in a day😂
Possibly the strongest fragrance I've ever used. Last weeks on clothing. A decant will last you forever. No need to buy a full bottle.
Hey which one ?
johnson Oud for Greatness
@@winnienguyen4420 thank you! I’m definitely getting it
It's only 20 to 30 bucks, why not
Smells exactly like Dior savage elixir
Same exact performance and smell
My new favorite scent. One word: Intoxicating.
The best oud scent ! Has an oriental, deep, and manly scent
This one is incredibly good. The best oud I've tried by far
After oud for glory is released, not worth buying initio oud for greatness anymore in my opinion.
Ur silly
I feel you on that but there’s nothing like owning the real thing
@@2kbigflorida894 100% yes.
@@StationOutlook yes initio is definitely higher quality. For the people who can't afford it I think the clone works pretty well.
Hi Dallas, definitely a bit late, but good review. They just came out with the new flanker, Oud for Happiness.
I’ll get around to reviewing that one in about 2 years, hahah. I’ll check it out here soon
My fave😎🤘 oud for happiness
Oud For Greatness is 🔥. I don’t get to wear it much, but now that it’s getting cooler, I’m looking forward to reaching for this more. Another great review. Holla.
My scent of the day 😊 yes in the summer still 🔥
Bro I was just looking this fragrance this morning 😱
Wow.. just wow.. this stuff is amazing
Just tried this tonight, smells fantastic! Got a sample from fragrance buy with my order, I may have to grab a full sized!!
I think it has those Instant Crush vibes as well.
looks like an incredible fragrance
I can attest to the olfactory fatigue on this. I can never smell it on myself after about an hour. It seems completely gone on my skin. But my wife said it punched her in the face when I got in her car
I smell the bottle every day because I'm so addicted to it.
16 sprays in summer does trick for me
😂
Agreed! If you want to kill everybody on a mile radius! 😂🙌🏻
I recently ordered a sample of OFG. Waiting for it to cool down a bit more here in Oklahoma before I try it out.
The beginning the middle and the dry down sensation off the meat rack great fragrance manly to oil is for me don’t need the Colonge you just need a little to with the oil and it’s not even strong on my skin
I own this and absolutely love it 🥰, I have gotten compliments on it , just 3 sprays
Does anyone else smell a hint of fresh shaved cut? Like a fresh barber shave..
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Omg you should try to oil i brought it at a local Arabic perfume shop it is out of this world 🌍 amazing 10/10 wow i love it ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🤣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Imagine layering oud for greatness with a touch of 540
I'm smelling a sample now and ahh my palate isn't ready for this.
great review again. the question is, is the initio to buy, or is there a better one from the house. oud is interesting when done right.
Got a small sample on my skin at Neiman Marcus earlier today wasn't sure if I would like it and about an hour later walking around the mall I smelled it and realized I had sprayed it on I went back and bought a bottle this is one of my all-time favorites total slam dunk
Hit up the clone! Oud for Glory tell us if its worth it!
I have Lattafa Oud for Glory. It smells awesome! I've seen reviews that it's very close to Oud for Greatness. Much more affordable though.
Check out dar al teeb it's not as expensive but definitely not cheap
Majestic woody intense by Arabian Oud, more powerful thian this one, same clean High quality Oud, actually....higher quality!
Scentual Obsessions also has a great clone!
It’s not.
I don't get the BR540 comparison at all. The Oud (yes I know there really isn't any Oud in this. I've seen the Aaron Hughes video) doesn't take long before it starts taking over and the way it's rendered is so woody and spicy and masculine with a hint of soapiness that it smells like a freshie.

Please review initio side effect!
Side Effekt is good. Its more feminin version of herod.. to feminin for my taste
Love it. I like it even better than Oud for Greatness .
Which is better - VELVET DESERT OUD by DOLCE & GABBANA?
I am a hardcore Oud fan, do you think would be valid for a blind buy ?
great video, can you do a review on oud for glory?
Would love to see you compare it to its (apparently amazing) clone Oud For Glory...and Shaghaf Oud (not a clone) 🙂.
An absolute great review!💯👍🏻💯 thank you!
I’m debating to return my ROJA “ elysium “ bc it reminds me of creed aventus. Anyway Initio “ oud for greatness “ is very unique. So… having said that is oud greatness wearable in the summer time? Let me know. Appreciate it.
Wear what you want when you want. Don't spray as much if your wearing it in summer
Rockin this right now 🔥🔥🔥
Hi, in your opinion, which one is better, Oud For Greatness or Alexandria ll , please, if you can let me know. Thank you.
Nose blindness seems to be such a contradictory term for me.I can accept color blindness because it's related to vision but vision and smell are two completely opposite things/senses.I will be looking for the correct term that would describe a loss of smell and will post it in every fragrance reviewer' channels on RUclips!.
Anosmia is the term you’re looking for. It’s literally described as smell blindness - can’t wait for the flood of comments across all the channels.
Unfortunately this one's more about hype and a pretty bottle. I wanted to like it more but I prefer my ouds to smell like oud.
yep, no resemblance of oud in here at all.
Though I love the fragrance I have to agree. Nothing to do with Oud whatsoever. More saffron to my nose. This could pass as a Baccarat Rouge 540 flanker.
I'm in Florida and as soon as I hear fall and winter fragrance, I'm like hard pass... smh
😂 I still got it and wear it when I feel a breeze out in Miami
Feel the pain down here lol
I lived in Florida 10+ yrs it gets cold in Florida maybe not enough to justify 400$ but don’t make it seem as if it’s always hot because it does get cool
I live in San Antonio, TX and I’m still getting this lol
I live in the southwest. I still get and wear frags that people call cool weather scents.
Bought my from Harrods … no “book” inside and the bottle/from metal label in front is bent/damaged 🤬
I tried Oud for Happiness and absolutly dislike it, possible that i will like Greatness?
Hello Dallas, how are you? Great job on the video and review 👍🏾. Stay safe brother
so tell me guys. Do i really need oud for greatness? Because i already have oud for glory n that stuff is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was able to smell this on paper but not on skin but I need to fine a sample
Picked this up recently. Looking forward to wearing it this fall!
Great in sunny Florida also. I’m using it now.
Side Effect also great
What's up bro, mind doing a video on scents for professions? Like scents for nurses at work, store managers at work, etc.
Eau Sauvage, Terre d'Hermes, La Nuit de l'homme, are a good start
So this is a oud fragrance for club persons and average Joes?
I'm more into xerjoff oud stars and such where the oud fragrance is more challenging and is sprayed more for self expression. Not for social affirmation. I was going to buy a bottle of this but may pass now.
im trying to wear it in summer like 2 sprays. But i might be cocking people out idk
I’m in Florida.3 -4sprays for me.
Why does homie over at paragon scents always call this crap?

how about Lattafa Oud for Glory
Just buy it. Considering the price, it's waaaay better.
Beast mode, smell amazing, no real oud in this one tho so. But maybe to much money for what u get.
I hope it doesnt smell like shaghaf oud because i really didnt like it
I do not understand why, but my tester has no projection at all, it was just a skin scent
Thats weird, from a sample i bought the projection seemed great,
fake tester maybe

@@winnienguyen4420 Perhaps I have to test again, the tester was from Luckyscent so I guess it is not a fake
@@amitfromisrael5006 noseblind like Chao's said
I just purchased this for my husband for Christmas. I can't wait to sniff him!
Headache inducing synthetic composition for me.
That's crazy
@@titozamora9500 oud for Greatness, side effects, naxos, Layton, enigma, ani, havivat
@@yurmelisa yeah man, so glad I bought a Luckyscent sample. Not worth the $300 for me, at all. Everyone needs to research and sample, never blind buy.

Not a fan of this one... But still wanted to stop by to support the homie, Dallas💪🏿💪🏿 "THUMBS UP"🥊🔔
How many sprays
Am I the only one who gets mostly a Minty sent?
Feminine scent ?
Does the atomizer say initio? Mine does and it's a little leaky. Is this normal
Yes mine too. I believe that’s normal
@@josephakintunde3958 thank u
For initio go for Oud For Greatness (Oud For Assness) .
For PDM go for Layton
"Better late than never, never late is better"
Good ❤️
Hard to trust reviewers, who are in the pocket of the industry.
Illuminati confirmed !!
The price of this is outrageous!!! Who the fuck pays for this?
Discounters my guy. Fragrancebuy has for $200
Me

Me!!!
👍👍👍
I wore this and I was told I smelled old. Thank god it was a decant and I didn’t fall for the hype. This stuff is way too spicy and too aggressive and too stout with a dash of mothballs. Don’t like this at all.
white people find it stunning but ive been smelling this typa scent since kid at the local mosque 🤣 and sold at corner store for cheap
I disagree.. I have cheap ouds and expensive ouds.. Initio is another level
White people…lmao looks like all kinds of people on here as well.
First
Such a huge fan of this guy, love the recommendations (Y)
