What Wearers Say
Afnan Supremacy Oud
One sampler enjoys its warm sweetness and spices.
Another wearer likes the lightly floral opening and easygoing oud.
The same sampler also notices an unwanted rubbery impression.
Another wearer finds it too faint.
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.
The Verdict
Supremacy Oud is our pick. Its list matches Oud for Greatness: saffron, lavender and nutmeg, then oud, over musk and patchouli. Initio lists the same notes with agarwood oil alongside the oud. Lavender and saffron make both aromatic and slightly leathery. Afnan adds sweet notes to the oud, so expect it a little softer. Lattafa's Oud for Glory lists the same set too.
