“This is supposed to be a clone of Initio Oud for Greatness (name and bottle very similar so anyone can Google to see what I am referring to). Now, I have never smelled Initio Oud for Greatness as one bottle costs $350 (for a 3 oz bottle). I just cannot justify paying that much. So, I am not sure how similar they are, although I heard they are very close (several reviewers online said they are identical after the dry down). This is a performance beast for me. Twelve hours later I was still getting whiffs off my shirt. It has a nice spice (saffron and patchouli), leather, and oud. Honestly, it should not be a blind buy as some of the reviewers are giving it bad reviews. It is not because of the quality of the scent, but for some, it can be quite polarizing. I personally love the scent and would not hesitate to buy it again. The presentation was very nice also (the box that it came in and the bottle).”

“Loved this frag at the 1st sniff. The scent is pretty unusual, definitely more Oriental in character, sweetly floral with the whole diversity of nuances resembling oud, rose, frankincense, pepper and other spices. Very spicy in fact! I like spices but for some it may be a bit overwhelming, especially if your skin is hot, as it opens more in this case. Was wearing it for an hour or so and still the scent didn't fade. Let's see how long it lasts. I think, this perfume will do well with a leather jacket in the evening.The packaging is very impressive - a heavy black matte glass bottle with gilded embossed metal plating on the front side. The box is beautifully designed too. Unfortunately, as mentioned by other reviewers, the plastic front of the box was slightly cracked during the delivery (though the bottle remained intact). Probably USPS boys were tossing it here and there before it ended up in my hands. I don't care much about the box, as I plan to get rid of it. But that would be really sad if I bought this frag as a gift.Anyway I am happy about this purchase and will buy it again.”
