Oud for Greatness is a fragrance for women and men, released by Initio Parfums Prives in 2018. No perfumer is credited, and no family is listed for it. Saffron and nutmeg open it dry and leathery with lavender giving an odd cool lift, then agarwood fills the centre, smoky and medicinal in the way real oud is, with patchouli and musk thickening it underneath. There is very little else in it, and that concentration is the point. It lasts all day and projects strongly, so a light hand serves it best on autumn and winter evenings.
