“If you have no knowledge on what oud based colognes smell like I'd run to your local Macy's and determine whether or not that scent appeals to you before purchasing and claiming it smells like garbage.. This scent profile is not suitable for everyone. I'm 24 and in college, this gets compliments daily and definitely sets you aside from everyone else. If you're daring and like to move in silence but don't mind the attention, this is the cologne for you as it'll add more of a mischievous appeal to you. Great projection and longevity, again keep in mind everyones body chemistry is different and longevity and or projection might not be the same case for everyone.”
“This was a blind buy, I’ve never smelled Oud for Greatness so can’t give comparison. If you like oud fragrances, get this. The bottle and packaging are fantastic quality, it’s a thick boi. Heavy and solid, gorgeous attention to detail and packaging design. The fragrance is definitely masculine but with an underlying sweetness that lures you in. It’s distinct but not so loud that it becomes irritating over time. It smells slightly different on my partner and I. On him it’s warm, spicy but gentle musk. On me it’s a little sweeter and lighter on dry down. Both of us were pleasantly surprised and this is his new signature scent. It’s reminiscent of sweet hookah smoke tangled in your hair, wrapped in a leather jacket on a autumn night in in the city. This is definitely a evening/date night/fall & winter fragrance. I would say it’s too rich for an office or school setting and would trigger anyone with fragrance sensitivities. If you dislike richly spiced, intense oud and complex musk fragrances then this is not the one for you.”
“Right out of the box I liked the scent. More on the cologne side of unisex but I didn’t mind. The bottle is big and heavy, felt great in my hand. I immediately sprayed myself down and could smell it all night. And I go nose blind easily. Then late that night I started to itch. I scratched my neck, my shoulders, my chest, all night long. I couldn’t even really sleep. This morning I’m super red and that skin is puffy. This has happened to me before with roll on scents but never a spray. Since I can’t return it I guess I’m gifting it to someone. If you have had an allergic reaction to scents in the past you might want to think twice.”
