Why not
I had smelled my way through the brand's range and found this one to be the best.
I can't really agree with the statements and comments. But here is my view on this fragrance.

First of all, I noticed parallels to mfk gentle fluidity silver which is one of my favorites. However, the nevermind is a little less complex in all respects and possibly duller and does not have this high frequency in the top note, although this is very similar, I also thought in the direction of chanel platinum egoiste only so the usage and direction without being very similar to the fragrance. Vodka on the rocks by killian should also have a note that appears here. The acidity of a sparkling cremant comes to mind.
It's not a typical parfum perfume as the brand expects rather a synthetic anti perfume. I get vibes of spring, silver streaks with white flowers that give the scent a beautiful understated bouquet. There's a note in it that I recognize from super 8, like opening a can of 35mm film, chemicals to put it bluntly. Also the lining of a brand new white mesh sneaker with a bit of a suede vibe, very light fruity gin accord.
The strength is ok, definitely not an over beast but for me a bit more than the diptychs or byredos of this world. Sillage also rather normal but with 6 sprays you get noticed.
Someone wrote something about festival vibe, yes somehow. Definitely clean air for me, if you want soo gaaaanz remotely 5% country air.
In the course (but rather linear) it becomes not really woody not powdery not creamy but more compact rather like a new expensive textile. So anyone who likes synthetic molecule fragrances and doesn't want to wear a typical perfume can give it a try. I would rate it 7.4

Its a long way to greatness...so they say
According to Initio, all their perfumes are mainly about two things. Traditional perfume craft & seduction.
Initio redefines quality. This is not just a saying, because if you really compare what you get for your money, the prices of some products from Creed, Bond no.9, Byredo, Clive Cristian, Jo Malone do not seem justified.
I will come back to the packaging later.

To the fragrance :

Oud stands for happiness, harmony and healing. In OFG (ouf for greatness), as the name says, everything revolves around oud.
Real Oud & natural agar wood oil. ( not listed here ).
Say the origin of the oud. Infected and non-infected eaglewood combined together if I understand it correctly.
Unfortunately I could not find out in the internet which oud it is exactly.
Against the claim that the oud cannot be smelled here at all... Surprise! But OFG also smells of oud.
But it is rather "fresh" as far as you can say that about oud.
light, woody, dry, slightly medicinal. Hardly resinous and not in the category "stable".
Anyone who has ever used essential oils, whether for cooking or in an aroma diffuser, will find that OFG essences are very natural and voluminous. The fragrance lasts very long. I can perceive my scent bumble myself all the time.
Until I take a shower. And even after that a short movement can make a little touch of OFG perceptible again.
Despite the strength of the fragrance, I fortunately don't get any headaches, no matter how deep I stick my nose into the crook of my arm. Quite different from some leather chords or molecules like cashmeran. This is always a very good sign for me.

Does it smell like baccarat? Yes. I understand that the spicy sweet saffron is now associated with it. I can see the similarity in the air as well as on the strip. But apart from the fact that both fragrances are beast mode performers, and contain saffron and musk components, the fragrances don't really have much in common. On my skin OFG at least goes its own way.

The sweet opening is determined by saffron and nutmeg. Velvety floral lavender balances and soothes. Next to the light woody oud, comes a patchouli which gives OFG this mysterious aura. I first thought after a spray and because of the musk, the sillage and durability is a bit overrated, but after a few times of wearing OFG is the undisputed new beast on the shelf.
A lot of people online say he's sexy? I don't find the fragrance to be very inviting now, and I don't think it's something you want to snuggle up to directly.
This mystical aura reminds me of scents like black orchid. Of course it smells completely different, but they would have the same colour for me. Black, purple and gold. OFG is also not repellent, definitely the scent is extraordinary and interesting.
The sweet one gives the fragrance enough buoyancy and the patchouli is more supportive than dominant. The lavender grinds all edges of the freshly broken light wood sufficiently so that it does not look too sharp and obtrusive.
2-3 sprayers should really be enough.
By the way, the sprayer is a very economical one. It does not produce a wide, large mist, but rather atomizes in a targeted and remarkably low dose. Fits the content very well and I guess this is no coincidence.
The fragrance is fairly linear after the first 15 minutes, pushing for the next 5-6 hours.
With liquorice and mystical sound, a clean heart of oud and slightly human musk will take you to the next shower. Sufficient durability ! Very long. My bedroom still smelled after 14 hours. And my sweater in the laundry infected the whole wash load with OFG.
I would like to say that the bottle does not only look great on the photo. Just take a look at the example of Nasomatto Blamage !! :)
the haptically punched plastic badge that encases the fragrance cracks when picked up in the hand in some places. It's kind of weird and annoying.
The packaging is simply top from front to back. Probably the most aesthetic perfume I ever had the pleasure of unpacking.
I would like to get other Initios, but I would say that they would all be worn in the same situations.
There will probably be 2 more fragrances released in the Black Gold Project series. And even a Rehab in a white bottle will not remain alone forever.
This was already announced at the Atomic rose release in Cannes 2019.
I bought the fragrance in a perfumery. Incredible six ! not rehearsals were included + 2x skincare and a small molten brown shower gel. That tastes good !
But I think the great employee also liked our conversation very much. In any case, she said that she is really happy that I am using this fragrance and that it was a lot of fun. Me too.
I'm going to go back to more good perfumeries. Especially as I can really walk, because it's only a five-minute walk. :)
Well in my case : Its a short way to greatness and Initio was right... this perfume craft seduced me

Mfk amyris
Francis kurdjian's fragrances combine aroma chemicals and nature in a quality and aesthetics as beautiful as no other perfume house. Or do you? At least not in the price category. The more fragrances you smell, the more you appreciate quality.
While Kilian, pdm for example, probably spends a lot of money on flacons, here I find a good mediocrity of juice and packaging.
I like all the men's fragrances from mfk.
But all of them have something that I do not like.
With amyris, despite its quality, it is any relationship to drugstore fragrances. Clearly easy to like, easy to wear, but then again nothing special. A Grand soir is too clumsy for me Opulent vanilla, masculine plural to oldschool
Silver fluidity only smells great on the test strip & after 2 hours only simple vanilla wood remains. Baccarat is baccarat and will be copied more than aventus in the near future. And there are already dupes at zara for 12€. It's also a compliment, which should make Mr. Kurdjian happy because it will have a positive effect on the sales. Aqua universalis or vitae are not strong enough for me. Even if the house has something to offer for everyone, I don't find anything really interesting except apom and lumiere. And here too, some sculpture drugstore and oldschool vibe resonate.
Tastes are of course different and I think the house makes quality fragrances with easy to like dna's.
I know too little about oud to exclude the oud row from this. I've never smelled petit matin and pour le sois before.

Amyris
Is fresh, aromatic, with a nice pinch of pepper and light green rosemary.
Creamy wood with beautiful tonka sweetness,
However, the most dominant aroma is that of iris, which is related to lavender,
A really beautiful creation that fits perfectly into the spring. Perfect for the daytime.
I have sold it nevertheless since it is too arbitrary for me as already mentioned.
For others, the difference to boss bottled will hardly be discernible in the air, even if for you there are worlds in between.
I have found in penhaligons halfeti a successor which is much more complex,
more durable, stronger sillage and much more exceptional is the aromatic elements of amyris Intus has. Of course it is less safe, but beats amyris in all categories except the like ability of the dna.

Amyris can be bought for work or leisure, a rendevouz in the afternoon.
On days when the sun blinks through the clouds.

I like the style of mfk very much and I would like to have all fragrances and like them all, but unfortunately I don't do it for the reasons listed.
But compared to e.g. byredo, Jo malone, mfk is worth its money. Especially since you can't buy amyris in
Souk usually gets so between 90-115 €.

Girl i really wanna believe y
I'm honest, I only bought it because of the bottle lol,
Fun, no, I found it quite ok in the first test. Even though the scent online tends to be torn apart, my memory of the scent was positive. If tom ford had released it in a completely emerald green flacon in his private blend I would be curious if it would have been better received.
In the style of rose prick.

Today at 32 degrees and a planned trip to the lake, I thought it would be a good day for this fragrance. I thought it might need more warmth.
Since I always remembered the scent as a delicate floral water, I thought
5,6 sprayers are easy and go.

And boom, hello? Who are you? With each sprayer, I noticed he was getting cuter. My memory of that scent was different.
At 32 degrees, the floral notes were suddenly fully alive, as if riding a bicycle along a gravel road along the stream, the smell of a warm road, warm skin and the shrubs and flowers along the stream.
fresh wind in the face,
so loud you can't hear much else.
So the memory of this fragrance suddenly smelled and I was very happy with the selection for the day.
It needs heat. I've had an extreme scent bubble around me for three hours. And my date said I smelled like sunscreen.
I thought uff, 2 sprayers would have done it, but I had not expected that the heat suddenly comes to life.
Find the fragrance smells mega authentic, without synthetics and I suddenly like it a lot, precisely because it is so "different".

I don't really need the bottle
When I first smelled reflection man I was fascinated by this transparency,
Even the smell of the test strip left traces in my jacket which were still visible 2 days later. Every now and then I sprayed it on, admittedly the floral notes were unusual but all in all I liked the scent very much and it stayed in my head. I often tried to buy a broken bottle in the souk but the offers were often not really worthwhile or I was too slow.
So first of all I ordered a bottling from dear maxiking. And the impression I had at home or while wearing it was a little different.
I can perceive the sillage of the scent for 5 hours and even after that there is always a bump and it is present again. That is to say, everyone here has something of it.
The floweriness is very suitable for spring and special occasions. If I was looking for a fragrance for a wedding, it would be this one.
What's holding me back at the moment is that the neroli gets on my nerves and I'd like to see more sandalwood at the bottom, it's creamy, but compared to the santal 33 from le labo, the amouage there is the shortest. The scents are clearly different,
Both are sandalwood dominant, strong performers and similar in price.
I like the lightness of the fragrance, and maybe I'll buy another bottle.
The shelf life is top, just like the fragrance itself, but the dominant neroli is disturbing me more and more.
But someone who is interested in fragrances should have tested it. The reference fragrance in terms of clarity, freshness, and how floral notes can occur in men's fragrances
