“Extremely impressed by the quality. I feel that this is a bit more unisex than Atomic Rose; which is what most people compare it to.This particular Oud smells a lot more like suede. It's such a beautiful balance when paired with the fresh non-geriatric Rose scent.”
“Alright so let’s start from the very beginning. Is it an exact dupe of Oud for Greatness? Absolutely not. Does it smell amazing regardless, HELL YEAH.I actually have a sample of Oud for Greatness. After comparing these two side by side, I’m afraid to report that they DO NOT smell alike. But, surprisingly, I like that. Hear me out.When I smelled Oud for Greatness and Oud for glory, the former smelled more like a straightforward Woody scent. I mean, quite literary. It almost smelled like when you cut a piece of cedar with a chainsaw. Sharp, warm wood.Out for Glory smells more elaborate, there is more nuances to it. It also smells like a really expensive scent. Dry, leathery, but also a bit sweet and refined. The saffron DEFINITELY comes through. And I think there is some patchouli. Some musk as well. I’m telling you, this is not the smell of an affordable scent (ironically)This scent smells deeply masculine but not in an offensive way. I sense a deep, dry leather, with perhaps fruity notes. Then there is this wood scent that I can’t put my finger on it. But it isn’t on your face, it is not a literal smell. It’s almost like an interpretation of a wood smell.If you like classic smells, but without all the citrus, bergamot that classic scents have, this is your scent. It’s does have a classic feel to it, but when you first spray it, it smells incredibly modern and refined.I’d say though, if you really like Oud for Greatness, this si not exactly the same, but you can sense the relation. They do smell similar, like different interpretation of an Oud. Glory being a bit sweeter, saffron, elaborate. It’s definitely a solid scent all by it’s own.Lastly, the packaging is amazing. Heavy, solid dark amber bottle. Very nice, smooth spray. It comes in a nice box too.”
“When you first spray this on you get a huge blast of chemical rubbing alcohol smell, after that evaporates off you get a faint whiff of the saffron and oud. It's not Eau de Parfum strength, it's a very weak smell. I've smelled the Original Oud for Greatness at a store. After the rubbing alcohol dry down in about 10 minutes, it does have an almost identical smell but much weaker. The original I could smell on my wrist for 8-10 hours later. This clone lasts about 2 hours max, and is much weaker smelling and not as nice or rich smelling as the original.The rubbing alcohol smell is very annoying, headache inducing and irritated my skin. The original didn't have that at all. It was extremely pleasant and rich from the opening. I think they put way to much alcohol in this clone and not enough oil, but I'm not a perfume expert.I would say for this one stick with the original, it's much better smelling and higher quality, unless you love the smell of Rubbing alcohol.”
