I just love oud which to me is like wine. It takes on so many different aspects
Hi Steven. I’m fairly new to the fragrance game but your passion and reviews are on a whole different level. Very impressed with your ability to articulate and describe these scents. Thank you for such great reviews. Much respect sir.
Thank you very much for all of the kind words. That really means a lot. I hope you're having a wonderful week.
Steven the master of fragrance reviews!
My wife and I can't make the trip unfortunately. I hope you have a great time!
Hyped, hyped, hyped ... I will choose Cuirs Barcelona over it all day
My first "Oud" fragrance. This is my deep dark "Level-Up" go-to when not wearing Tom Ford or Creed. The presentation looks like King Arthur on my shelf.
I love the deep dark agarwood scent profile. I am yet to try this one and it sounds addictive.
Damn congrats on 71k I pretty much just watch oud videos. Thanks Steven especially for being part of the community for so long. Love your videos you're so professional I cant wait until you hit 100k
Thank you so much, Kyle!
Jazmine loves oud more than i do which surprised me. Cant wait to smell the rest of the house ive only smelled rehab so far.
Whatd you think nook of Rehab?
@@airmaxair-max4993 rehab is really good in my opinion. You've probably heard others say it smells like Spicebomb. But definitely a more refined version. 💯
@@Oneaccordfragrance yeah it seems Initio has found the code on how to make the fragrances be more refined in a high end way. Thanks for letting me know. I'll check it out.
8:52 « the oil oud is high lu concentrated »… : guys dont trust these words and make a sample! The Oud in OFG is just a heart note and doesnt stay for the entire Life of the fragrance. Sorry Steven, but I hardly disagree on that point. Oud lovers could be upset by thinkink Oud will suit them forever in OFG… once the Oud fades away it is more of a slightly sweet fragrance with saffron and patchouli in the end.
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it because it sounds really good and have a blessed day
Thank you, Michael! It's very good!
Looks like a Rasasi LaYuqawam bottle. Sounds like a spectacular juice. Great review sir.
Thank you, Joey! It's a special fragrance! I agree with the comparison you made!
I own Rehab and Absolute Aphrodisiaque, and currently have samples of Oud for Greatness & Side Effect coming... I hope I don't like them, because buying from Initio is starting to get expensive for me lol
Haha. Thank you for watching!
I can’t wait to get my nose on this. I’m super excited about the Black Gold collection from this house.
I'm sure you will enjoy it!
Man that bottle is mesmerizing and beautiful. I'd love to come out to one of these events soon since I'm from NY.
That would be awesome!
Great review. I need this one on my collection. I have a sample and it has become an addiction to spray this. I also really like it for layering. It mixes very well with things like Oud Bouquet or even Pink Sugar.
Thanks for sharing!
Oud freak here. Thanks for highlighting this scent. Would also like to hear your opinion of Ensar's EO #1 oud EDP.
I will have to try that one. I own no. 2 and it's great!
Nice review ! I just recieved my bottle today. I made the mistake of buying this blind. I had an offer on a tester for 100 dollars, and i bought it on the spot. It’s very hard on the oud in the beginning, so you have to like oud to appreciate the opening of this. The middle is the best part , with a nice blend of woods almost smokey , and sweetness of saffron. After that, it is indeed very close to MFK Baccarat Rouge extrait- and that is not for me! I also own side effect og and rehab, and those i love!
Great review Steven! I can see that you're genuinely excited about this one, so I've got to get my nose on it! Thank you sir!
Hope everyone at the even has a fantastic time 🙏
Wow! That bottle 😍 i own both duro and al khatt. Also wearing oud satin mood today , so to hear it from you held up there with them makes this a must try for me 👍
Class indepth video as always 🙏
Thank you so much as usual!
@@Redolessence hi i want your help
I plan to buy on of 2 frag
Dior homme sport 2017 or dior home cologne?
Which is better smell and last long????
Steven great review. I am looking forward to this release. Initio parfums is making a statement for sure.
Thank you, Kenneth!
Steven you are so eloquent and classy besides the word sophisticated in the dictionary should have your photo.
That's so nice of you. Thank you so much for the kind words. It means a lot to me.
@@Redolessence It is just the truth!
It reminds me of Bond #9 Greenwich village. I get like a soapy fruity smell. Maybe I’m buggin but it doesn’t smell super masculine like an Oud would be
Just got a sample in the mail. Love it. If I were to describe it in one word: Ethereal.
I'm so glad you like it!
Audio is stellar Steven. Very thorough review my friend.
Thank you so much!
Got this fragrance off of scentsplitter and it's like a very beautiful work of art. It's multifaceted like a brilliantly cut diamond. It's something that stands on it's own, but I could also picture it being layered with a nice aquatic scent.
I'm so glad you like it, James!
I bought a bottle of Oud by Axis from the PURFUME SHOP UK, when I bought some other fragrances and i added the Oud fragrance it was for a secret Santa gift and only £9.99 perfect. In the mean time i had been given a Oud shower gel by mistake. The fragrance from the Oud shower gel was a instant hit for my wife and said for the price of the Axis Oud fragrance you might as well open it and give it a spray and see if it effects my skin and see if it’s any good as not. The fragrances work for me and have had problems as in the past some top brands did nothing for me. If ten people all wear the same fragrance in the office or a meeting all day I want to stand out and be confident. My wife loves the smell especially at night after a shower. The fragrance might not last for a long time but who needs to wear a £200.00 long lasting fragrance that over powers the bedroom all night. The Axis Oud was not too over powering and I will be buy another one when it runs out. Now I need a Oud fragrance that is a really special and a smell that will outlast everyone else and still feel confidant at work or for a night out. The new fragrance will have to give good staying power and not be too overpowering that it gives you a headache. Thank you so much with the advice and I am hooked on fragrances now
I purchased a 2ML sample. The performance was weak. (Twisted Lily). Maybe an old batch?
Awesome review, as usual Steven. All best from a Mexican friend.
Great review.you have a god nose.I buyed it and immeiedtley remeind me of Duro and oud musc from montal.
Great respect
Thank you!
Ciao Steven, just wanted to let you know that I am so glad you're through from those difficult moments and your aura in shining ever so brightly :) You can really tell
Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much, my friend. Life is tough, but it makes you appreciate the small things.
Catching up with redolessence, great review, also to wish you a happy new year 2019 ✨💯🎉
Thank you for watching! Happy new year!
It smells like a Dua fragrance when they mixed aventus with baccarat 540 called casino elixir just with a base of oud in it..
I really enjoy your reviews you descriptions make me want to smell/buy these scents this one sounds like its right up my olfactory alley thanks! JIM from MIAMI BEACH
Thank you for always stopping by, Jim!
Hi Steven...a great review as usual...could you please review fragonard fragrances in some future video ..esp the ma rose.
I hear Tom Leykis likes this channel.
Aww, I wish I could attend but I don't live in NY. I love Oud, and am actually working on a new Oud Gourmand perfume right now.... I sent you a few emails, and hope we can connect soon! :-)
I’ve always been curious, where do you work or what do you do for work?
How true that this is Oud Wood and Baccarat Rouge 540 mixed together?
Would you recommend it as a blind buy for someone who's interested in Oud but has only smelled it in Oud Wood TF? I'm not scared of strong smells but I want your opinion.
Greetings from Mexico, I love your channel and the real bottle!
I certainly would! I think it's a very addictive smell.
It is sooooo good. It cost enough to sample first in my opinion, but I think most will love this.
This is my favorite pickup in 2019
Thanks for watching!
Off topic question....... Polo Black or Double Black?
You really find there is « a lot » of oud in that juice like you said?… you pick it up in the initial spray but it really doesnt stay for a long time (well not as long as I would liked to) and definitely not in the base of the fragrance. Dry down : no more oud.
Look forward to seeing everyone. Great video bud
Thanks, brother!
What is the difference between "black gold edition" and "black gold project" ?
First 45 minutes I get ambre noir/24 gold/kalemat black and the dry down is a more masculine BR540
Thanks for sharing!
I actually feel as tho this smells like MFK BR540 Extrait
Really? That's an interesting comparison. Thank you for sharing.
No BR540 here. I get Tom Ford oud wood and fougere d’ argent
I looking for this video from you brother I want to buy side effect and oud greatness.But I want you opinion also if is blind buy it thank you Steve
I wouldn't recommend blind buys, but I would say that Side Effect is a safer buy!
Can it be for casual ..?
Ofg would be perfect if they changed nutmeg for cardamom. I hate cardamom with citrus, and vanilla. Any recommendation for ofg dupe with cardamom instead of nutmeg?
None that I am aware of, but I will keep you posted!
Hello Steven. Do you know where else I can purchase a sample of Initio Oud For Greatness? Both Maxaroma and Luckyscent are sold out.
Hi! I'm a big fan of yours. I have been intreduced in this marvellous frag world recently because of you and other influencers in this topic. I bought Kenzo Homme Eau de Parfum (It was a sale bargain actually) but it's very difficult to find info about it not even a RUclips review. What do you know about this design house? Why is it so underrated? Thanks!
scent library has a alternative of this just £25 its amazing !!!!
Thanks for sharing.
What happens if you live in a place that doesn't have fall or winter?
Steve can you please review “ Oud for Glory” by Lattafa that is supposed to be a clone of this?
Which one?
It has a lot in common with Boadicea Glistining
Doodle?
Huh?
Hi Sir
I have a very big concern and I’m hoping you can answer my question
The problem i have is, first day i was in love with aventus smell also Prada l’homme smell, but suddenly, after few days, I couldn’t smell them anymore, like I could smell them but not the entire perfume I mainly smell like burned version of those perfume and i got them few days ago so they are not expired, i want to mention that i smelled so many perfumes in the last week maybe that’s the reason not sure.
However i can still completely smell and enjoy D&G the one, Dior sauvage, but on the other side prada aventus suddenly started to not smell good to my nose this is so weird.
Please help lol
It’s called nose blinded, the smell receptor get overwhelmed by the molecules in very strong complex scents, it’s a survival mechanism in animals that rely on smelling for food and detecting threats
Hi Steven, may I ask any website you recommend to get this fragrance? As they just don’t sell this at where I live...😢
This is a best ever oud fragrance
So glad you like it!
Good video, where do I get good samples from?
Wish I could come back for this one
I hear you.
is it normal for this Oud For Greatness to smell like bandaids? very medicinal and pungent, definitely not animalic or skanky though, zero barnyard. Laudano Nero, TF Tobacco Oud, and Oud 27 smell significantly better than this OFG.....
Oud sounds intriguing! !
Thank you for tuning in!
Redolessence which Initio fragrance smells the best
My favorites are this one, Side Effect, and Blessed Baraka. Smell is subjective however.
Thanks Redolessence I do appreciate your expertises
@@ej5016 That means a lot. Thank you.
Best killian fragrance?
Hi steven, your top 5 frags from all your collection?
I need to get my nose on this asap!
Am I the only person in the world who thinks this smells like a combination of Tom Ford Oud Wood and Dior Sauvage? I can't believe no one else on the internet has said that yet...?
can you recommend me something sweet? (I like Givenchy pi)
I watched reviews recently, where reviewers involve women to talk about sexiness of this particular fragrance. They even said, this was the best oud fragrance they would like to smell on a man. As a result, I went to the local store and tested it. I have got to say, this is another average fragrance, targeted to get hyped by some reviewers
I'm sorry you're not too crazy about it.
@@Redolessence How about you? I don't think it has anything to go crazy
Has no oud in it
You should try some Middle East gems. Check my films. They are in polish but you will see some of them...;-)
Will do!
I’m a bit disappointed with the performance. Does not project as well off of my skin.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Love Initio, Side Effect and Rehab although there is always something that reminds me parfum de Marly backbone...btw yesterday I get my nose on oud for greatness and what ? it's so similar to Oud Immortel from Byredo 2010, so disappointing
Thank you so much for the honest take!
Just received a bottle and starting to think whether I got some sort of defective bottle. Before even spraying, it smelled like medicine or some sort of poison for bugs. Sweetness?!
Ωχ. Συγνώμη που σου μυρίζει έτσι. Από πού Το αγόρασες;
Ταχυδρομική παραγγελία από Selfridges που είναι και ο μόνος τρόπος για να δοκιμάσει κανείς τα αρώματα της Initio εδώ στη Φινλανδία.
@@lamanonegra8380 Maybe that smell is coming from the sweetness and the saffron then. You certainly have an authentic product.
Thank you for your help, you are amazing for taking the time to reply.
Steven, great review!
I think you are one of a few to mention the projection of Oud for Greatness. Most reviewers say it has excellent sillage and longevity, but say nothing about projection.
Did I get it right? About 45 min of projection as you mentioned at 8:56?
Regards from Brazil
Thank you so much! Yes, I try to mention both the projection and longevity!
Any opinions on DUA Vert instinct?
Great review but you left out the most importent voice😁 your wife 😀
Did she like it ?😀
Please do a new video with her.
Tell her she rocks 👍🏻
Never had a oud ... idk what should my first one be
If you're just getting into ouds, I would say Tom Ford Oud Wood is a great one to start with. It doesn't have a skanky, barnyard oud smell. It's light and smooth, also garners some nice compliments.
It's too bad this doesn't actually have any real Aoud.
HI, OUD FOR GREATNESS VS JUBILATION XXV? wich would be best buy?
They're both great fragrances, but I personally love Jubilation.
Is jubilation a more classy perfume? Are they similar?
@@Redolessence are both a must have in a collection?
with one would be more mass appealing ?, I've only smelled once jubilation, I've never tested it like for a hole day, but i really liked it. im about to buy one of the two. our for greatness its really hype right now, so i don't thinks it would be so unique. I would really appreciate if you can explain a little more. many thanks
oh, and last question... old composition of jubilation vs new
I fucking LOVE this scent, I’m a very dry unemotional person but FUCK this makes me smile
Hey Steven, should I blind buy a 10ml decant for $26? I appreciate your time : )
I never recommend blind buying, but that sounds like a really good value!
@@Redolessence I know you don't, but I was thinking it was a pretty decent price also.
@@Redolessence I really appreciate it, thank you for the quick response!
You're very welcome!
Where on the website do I reserve?
I think you have to call or email.
Hey Steven, do you have a price on this yet?
I think $350.
@@Redolessence Thanks you, I figured it might be a little higher than the others being that it has natural oud.
Hey Steven can you review Not a Perfume by Juliette Has a Gun? Thanks
I would love to! Thank you for suggesting it!
Redolessence Awesome! Looking forward to the review and thank you for always putting out quality content.
@@erickxsf The pleasure is all mine, Erick!
Can it be bought in Canada? If not, in the USA with possible delivery in Canada?... Merci.
I'm almost positive. Osswald will be carrying it soon.
Does this have Hedione in it?
Hey! Not to my knowledge.
@@Redolessence I asked Initio, they said it has some hedione but not as much as the Cardinal ones.
Great review, this sounds like a great fragrance, I love oud..will be getting a sample...Cheers!
Thank you for watching, Tom!
I blind bought this and I'm not impressed. This scent is definitely unique and long lasting, but it dosen't blow me away. It's way too sweet for a man and its nothing special in my opinion. It has varying notes but essentially smells like caramelised sugar. I would not recommend this one to anyone for the price.
DAMN IT!! im going to nyc the 29th of november!! i will stop by there to buy this one, great vid.
Thank you for watching, Jose!
Have u watched Aaron's take on it?
ruclips.net/video/YYzu_ZrOc0c/видео.html
Hallo.
It's a nice and modern frag, but there is no real oud in it.
Sorry...
Such a beautiful bottle!
is that a JLC reverso..? :D
I can see the similarity! It's an Emporio Armani I bought at Duty free many years ago.
@@Redolessence oh okay haha I was thinking maybe something from Cartier but yeah it looks nice! Personally I'm a watch/frag fan. So, a reverso would definitely be one of my grail pieces haha. I had a sample of this fragrance. It's expensive but I think it's really worth it . It's so invigorating and powerful and rich
@@XxXHardcoreshredderxXXxxxxxxxx thank you so much! It would be great to own a Reverso one day!
@@Redolessence yeah and congrats on your new line! I'll be for sure interested in purchasing some from you as well!
Baccarat Rouge meets Sahraa Oud
Interesting combination!
It's very bad symbol signs used for this bottle
I wasn't aware of that.
Hope you change the design of bottle and put something accepted from any person
Steven, check your Facebook messages I sent u a message 🙏✌️
Will do!
You use perform to spread your believe
This is not right place to put such symbol
