Oud for Greatness

Eau de Parfum Unisex

Oud for Greatness combines oud and agarwood oil with lavender, saffron and nutmeg, alongside patchouli and musk. It is a spiced woody fragrance rather than a rose or vanilla composition. This is the eau de parfum, distinct from the hair perfume and body cream.

What People Say

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

Great for

Someone who likes woody fragrance with an airy sweetness rather than a vanilla-dessert effect.

Not for

Someone who wants a distinct fresh-lavender opening or lots of change as the scent develops.
