What People Say

Initio Oud for Greatness

A sample wearer enjoys woody notes that become lightly and airily sweet through the drydown.

The same wearer finds the scent quite linear and does not get the fresh lavender opening others describe.

Lattafa Oud For Glory

One buyer loves the rich drydown after an initially unpleasant opening.

Other wearers describe a harsh, synthetic or rubber-like smell, and the opening also bothers the buyer who enjoys the drydown.

The Verdict

Try Oud For Glory for a rich, spiced woody drydown, but pay attention to the opening: even one fan dislikes its synthetic first impression, and other wearers get a rubber-like note. Oud for Greatness is worth sampling if you prefer woods with a lighter sweetness; one sample wearer enjoys its airy drydown but finds little fresh lavender and not much change as it develops.
