What Wearers Say

Initio Oud for Greatness

A sample wearer enjoys woody notes that become lightly and airily sweet through the drydown.

The same wearer finds the scent quite linear and does not get the fresh lavender opening others describe.

Lattafa Oud For Glory

One buyer loves the rich drydown after an initially unpleasant opening.

Other wearers describe a harsh, synthetic or rubber-like smell, and the opening also bothers the buyer who enjoys the drydown.

The Verdict

Oud for Glory is our pick. Its notes are almost the same as Initio's: saffron, lavender and nutmeg on top, oud and patchouli, then musk. Initio lists the same set, plus agarwood oil. Lavender and saffron make it aromatic and a little leathery, oud with fresh air around it. If you want the Initio bottle or real agarwood oil, the original is the one.
