What Oud for Greatness wanted to be
After reading the ingredients, I thought I had read this somewhere before but couldn't quite remember where.
I tested it for the first time at my local perfumery which, luckily for me, often restocks its range with the novelties of the niche world.
And from the first smell it was clear that this is exactly what I wanted from Oud for greatness but never got, because there REALLY is oud in here, how much oud and whether from plantations or wild oud is up to me, but I actually smell oud with saffron and not saffron with saffron.
However, it has to be said that it is not intended for the typical oud for greatness wearer and a little more for the connoisseurs, if I had to quote the older couple standing next to me on the train "what smells so stale here"
You can tell that this one is more sophisticated, but that's a good thing because this one doesn't want to be mainstream.
As for the fragrance itself, I find it very successful, the oud and the saffron are clearly recognizable.
The durability and sillage are amazing and you really feel like a gladiator in an oud armor on a saffron carriage in the Colluseum where the others can only bounce off.
The only 2 things that this armor doesn't survive more easily is that the scent hardly changes or develops from the beginning to the end, which is a bit of a shame considering the price, which is the second thing, because for 450€ the 100ml, it is still acceptable on the ml price, but apart from that you still have to put almost 500€ on the table at the end of the day for a perfume that cannot be compared to Areej le Dore or Ensar Oud.
