Very nice oud with minimal animalic accord

This is a joint review of Initio Oud for Greatness and its Lattafa clone, Oud for Glory, which I tested on consecutive days and compared directly at the same time. I'll start out by saying that to me, the two fragrances are about 95% identical in the final dry down (about 30 minutes after applying). Oud for Greatness opens with what I'm assuming is a saffron + nutmeg scent and shortly followed by a mild oud-y barnyard stink. That quickly disappears (maybe 5 minutes) and it continues to evolve with the woody oud scent (without the stink) becoming a bit more prominent.

Oud for Glory, OTOH, opens up straight woody and a bit peppery. There was absolutely no barnyard stink either. As it dried down, the patch became more prominent. However, after about 30 minutes, both fragrances pretty much converge and were almost identical. I'd say Oud for Greatness has a bit more emphasis on the saffron and nutmeg while Oud for Glory emphasizes the patch. In both, the woody oud scent is primary. Both fragrances are very masculine with excellent performance. In my testing, Oud for Glory's performance had a very slight edge over Oud for Greatness.

I also compared both Oud for Greatness and Oud for Glory to wrist sprays of Amouage's Opus XIII Silver Oud and Armaf's Special Amber Oud (which is a clone of Roja's Amber Aoud). There was no expectation in my mind that these latter two fragrances would be similar to either OfG; they aren't. I just wanted to see where they fit into the Oud picture. I'd put Silver Oud all the way at the right. It's got a strong animalic woody oud scent. The two OfG's are in the middle with a milder woody oud scent and not really animalic. Special Amber Oud is at the left with stronger amber & leather notes along with some sweeter vanilla. I like all four; they just scratch a different itch. None of them struck me as synthetic or screeching smelling.

Regarding Oud for Greatness and Oud for Glory, I actually preferred the clone, Oud for Glory, over the real thing when doing a direct A/B comparison, so that's the one I'm going with. To be honest, if I hadn't compared them directly, I probably would not have noticed a difference - they are so close.

An Initio For Absolute Beginners

Here we are, Bade'e Al Oud - Oud for Glory is also a piece of my puzzle. At first glance, the smell resembles many things, and none of them. Although its olfactory pyramid is shamelessly akin to "Oud for Greatness | Initio", which for the record, I don't know and don't think I've ever met before, for a moment, I seem to recognize that burnt sugar facet of Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum. But immediately after, it changes and resembles the dirty pineapple of "Aventus (Eau de Parfum) | Creed" to change again and take on a unique, spicy, earthy, intriguing, and seductive attitude. Therefore, I will not compare the two, which you can find galore on the web, but rather an authentic experience of this extremely rare black pearl.

If you are familiar with agarwood's resin, you should know that it goes very well with some notes, for example, floral rose, spicy saffron, gourmand honey, clean musk, and last but not least dirty patchouli. To the latter, already earthy and dark by itself, it adds a veil of subtlety, making it a little smoky and coarser. And it is precisely in this form that I face the oud-patchouli duo in this essence. Modern patchouli together with a cleaned oud, as if the couple had been baptized, confirmed, cleaned up nicely, and last but not least, sanctified before marrying them. It is definitely an oud for beginners, a little too challenging and off-putting when you're first starting out on your scent journey. However, it's also not too harsh, sharp, punchy, medicinal, rugged, or animal oud.

Cologne Bade'e Al Oud has a peculiar smell far from ordinary design fragrances because it focuses on a solid spicy, and smoky aroma. It opens with a blast of fresh and burnt accord consisting of lavender and oud wood. The smokiness immediately pops off my skin. I imagine a bonfire where agarwood and lavender spikes burn together and produce a cloud of thick, aromatic smoke. There is more than a tinge of warm spiciness from bitter saffron and sweet nutmeg, which blends well with the fragrant bluish lavender. Of course, the lavender is not a key player here, while the spices are slightly more prominent.

The more it grows, the smokier and more intricate it becomes. Please try Oud for Glory on your skin, as it may reveal only some of its magnificence when sprinkled on blotting paper. I get the meditative smokiness of frankincense, not that of an ashtray's bottom. The lovely smokiness of oud runs through the entire life of the fragrance, starting from the top, and is present until the end of the perfume. In the heart, oud is scarcely highlighted by a tinge of patchouli.

Oud For Glory is not linear and changes once more when approaching the dry-down stage. The initial freshness of the lavender and central smokiness of the oud now take a step back and leave room for something more earthy and musky. I pick up a little clean and oriental-like muskiness. Instead, the patchouli is a bit more prominent. The oud is still there and alternates its woodiness with the patchouli sweetness. A pleasant spicy-sweet-woodiness is what remains longer on my skin.

There is no denying that this is an oud. However, since you will stand out from other surrounding people when you wear this, and you're going to smell luxury, I see it fitting for special events, social dinners, and fancy parties. The performance of this Arabic jewel on my skin is not fantastic; not as heavy as you expect it to be. It won't fill the room, but people surrounding you might notice it. And it lasts a few hours on my skin and even longer on my clothes. Its ingredients make me reach for it during the cold weather, let's say, fall and winter months. However, since there is no trace of sweetness in there, it could work well even on a summer evening outdoor party, with just a couple of sprays. Although it is targeted at any gender, to me, it has a more masculine slant firmly.

I base my impressions and reviews on a bottle I have owned since November 2022.

A beauty of darkness and woods

The beginning is beautiful, a dark, smoky oud with a precious lavender, and some very light and sweet tones, which I think could be some type of resin (amber, labdanum etc ...), all very balanced and, really, elegant and fine .

The aroma is quite linear, it varies little, the only thing I feel is that, little by little, the lavender note is diminishing in intensity and a slightly spicy and sweet note takes on a bit of prominence, which together with the wood creates an aroma quite nice and pretty. In this part it is a slightly sweet and spicy wood, which I liked a lot.

Drying is very similar to this last part of the perfume, but with the addition of musk, feeling a musky wood with sweet and spicy nuances, a precious thing.

The perfume is dark, but not as dark as you might believe, it is fine and elegant, and I have found it perfect for special occasions, but yes, I still think that it is a perfume for cool climates.

The performance is very good, remaining on the skin for more than 9 hours, with a very noticeable wake the first hours of use, then it becomes close to the skin, but remains as a kind of aura, and thus remains almost the rest of life of the perfume.

The quality of the materials feels good in any case, and without knowing the Initio perfume yet, I think it may be very feasible that they look very similar, because as I have already explained, the notes that I have been feeling are very similar to what Initio declares in its perfume file, so surely the inspiration is not only in the external appearance of the bottle.

Oud for Greatness want-to-be

I’m weird about clones yet I’m curious enough to buy some. Apparently I’m not the only one own the originals and still buying the clones just for comparing them.
This Oud for Glory that everyone is bragging about, is not that impressive at the opening. Very synthetic chemical-like smell. Far off from the real deal. For the opening alone I would rate under 5 out of 10, because I do love everything about Oud for Greatness from Initio. But the dry down is nicer, closer to its concept, about 70-80% to my nose at least. Longevity is there, for a cheapy is quite impressive. Well, pretty much most of the clones have to have good performance at least. Overall, it’s a cheap clone, for under $25 it’s not really fair to ask too much. Great for Oud/beginners.
If someone really don’t want to save up for the real Initio, (although I think they are well worthy it) try Supremacy in Oud from Afnan, it’s a better quality fragrance overall, much nicer and smoother than this Oud for Glory in my opinion.

Love it!

Lattafa Oud for Glory is an amazing fragrance. It has a rich, long-lasting scent that makes you feel confident and special. The oud note is strong but not overpowering, blending perfectly with the sweet and woody undertones. It's perfect for special occasions or a night out. The price is also quite affordable for the quality you get. Overall, if you want a fragrance that stands out and gets you compliments, Oud for Glory is a great choice.
