What was the catalyst for Cleopatra's effortless seduction of Caesar? How did Jean-Baptiste Grenouille manage to persuade hundreds of people without words not to execute him at the moment of truth? How did Mata Hari wield such influence over ministers and generals? Perhaps the secret lies in a magical elixir? The creators of the Initio brand were inspired by this olfactory persuasion to craft unique fragrances that can profoundly alter the moods of those around you. Initio perfumes are modern potions that, like pheromones, enchant and seduce, awaken emotions, and bestow strength and power. You too have the chance to become a leader! The brand's two most renowned collections are Black Gold and The Hedonist. This is a juxtaposition of darkness and light, passion and innocence, audacity and restraint... The Initio Parfums Oud For Greatness fragrance from the Black Gold collection reveals the full beauty of oud, with its intoxicating, smoky, balsamic allure.
Top Notes – feature a sharp, herbal, and oriental-spicy motif crafted from lavender, nutmeg, and saffron.
Middle Notes create a vibrant, rich, and intense focal point on oud. A balsamic-woody hue with a soft smoky trail... Be inspired.
Base Notes of musk and patchouli weave the foundation for the oud's resonance, adding even more creamy sweetness, leathery smokiness, and woody balsamic depth.
Reviews about Initio Parfums Oud For Greatness
So, it's a bit monotonous, that's true. Yes, maybe it's a "beginner's niche" (as if that's something bad). I don't care if it's real oud (the manufacturer claims it is) or synthetic (heard a lot of opinions like that). Whether it's a combination of both, one thing is important: either you like it or you don't. I liked the perfume. Does it justify its price? I think so. Let's leave that question for discussions. Is it versatile? No. It's not for everyday wear. However, it's so beautiful.
It warms, envelops, it's long-lasting, and has a trail. I can sense all the notes that were announced. Sweet-nutty, like dry oud (or simply woody-leathery accord), accentuated with lavender, spices, and a note of "burnt sugar". And saffron is not excessive here, it doesn't create the "smoky room" effect, like in bakhoor or Arabian oud. Unisex, maybe leaning a bit towards the masculine side, but not critically. It's truly a cool perfume. The luxurious bottle corresponds to its content.
Thank you for the fast delivery. The fragrance is long-lasting and 100% original. Thank you, makeup.
This product is remarkable, as it effortlessly combines a pleasant aroma with a long-lasting trail.
Great scent! Longevity and sillage are top-notch.
I have been waiting and searching for this product for a very long time. And then, oh miracle, it's in stock. And it's even the original version. The quality of the packaging, the weight of the bottle, the weight of the cap, everything is original. The scent is unbelievably amazing. For me, it's the masculine version of Baccarat Rouge 540. Heavier, darker, more mystical. A couple of sprays and it doesn't fade from my skin even after two showers. The sillage is fantastic. Thank you, makeup.
