Oud for Greatness Initio 2018

Much has already been written about the fragrance, many praise him about the sky me included. The ''Oudexperts'' here say there is no oud in it. Maybe, who knows for sure if and how much oud a manufacturer really uses. The name Oud for Greatness suggests it at least if slightly exaggerated but I at least perceive it easily at the beginning with a nice smoky woody note. This is then joined by the saffron and a slight sweetness (yes very distantly reminiscent of Baccarat Rouge) which becomes more dominant as it progresses, dreamlike. The smoky woody remains until the end in the background and so beautifully interwoven. That makes it for me so much better than Baccarat but that is of course a matter of taste. Hype or not but I buy or find a fragrance but not cool only because he is celebrated by so many Youtubern. Since I think I'm hyper-resistant. That's the great thing about the souk, you order a small sample and either it fits or not.
I find Oud for Greatness just mega and a flacon will definitely move in with me.
