The notes.

Made in France, the Oud for Greatness scent is fresh and woody.

The perfume opens with a Natural Oud Wood and Agar Wood Oil duo. Rich and enveloping, this woody combination plunges us into the Autumnal forests. 

In the heart of the scent lies a fresher note of Lavender and Saffron. This unusual pairing creates mystery and intensity within the scent. Moreover, the Oud for Greatness is a perfume that will last you all day. 

Last of all, to harmonize the woody and fresh scent, Initio enriched the perfume with the powdered and skin-tight notes of Patchouli and Musk.

A bottle worth displaying.

In this Falls edition, Inition has given its scent a dark and almost magical appearance. Also, the full black glass bottle is decorated with golden designs, resembling illustrations of tarot cards. 

Is this connected to the perfume's intentions of releasing inner dreams?

A scented candle to match your perfume.

The Oud for Greatness is perfect for setting that cozy, warm ambiance during the cooler season. Initio candles have an excellent reputation and have been part of my winter routine for a while now.

My review.

From the moment I lay eyes on this perfume bottle, I just knew I would love it. The Oud for Greatness has all the elements to be a leading scent this season. With its warm, sensual notes, the perfume wraps itself around the wearer like a second skin. Lasting for hours, you can quickly notice the scent on your jacket or scarf the day after. 

Me and my partner both tried the scent and got completely different outcomes. The difference in acidity in our skins brings out a more feminine or masculine touch. I loved how fresh and soothing the lavender note is and how it perfectly matches the spicy Saffron.

Overall, this perfume is ideal if you are into stronger-smelling scents and have a long-lasting love for Oud. This wood note is often found in Oriental scents and gives the perfume a true niche feeling.

The post Initio Parfums Oud for Greatness Perfume Review appeared first on The Velvet Life.

Roja Parfums is widely viewed by beauty industry experts as one of the most luxury fragrance houses in the world. The brand believes in using the finest quality ingredients on the planet, and this definitely translates through their impressive range of perfumes. As a lover of oud-based scents, I’m a huge fan of Roja Parfums. As a brand, they seem to deliver oud like no one else. In fact, they were the first brand ever to do so!

I’m one of those people that wear perfume every day – even if I’m not leaving the house. I don’t know why, I just feel like when I smell good, I’m ready to take the day on. Whether that’s working from home, or hitting the town with my girlfriends! The best part about this fragrance is that it’s suitable for both occasions – and just about everything in between, too. It’s also so classy and so elegant, that whenever I want to feel a million dollars, it’s the only one I reach for.

Key Notes

Roja Parfums Amber Aoud has the below keynotes:

• Top Notes: Lemon, Bergamot, Lime
• Heart Notes: Rose de Mai, Jasmin de Grasse, Ylang Ylang, Fig
• Base Notes: Cinnamon, Saffron, Patchouli, Oakmoss, Sandalwood, Aoud, Benzoin, Orris, Birch, Ambergris, Musk

There are so many beautiful notes in the juice of this perfume. It has an element of sweet citrus to it, thanks to its zest of lemon and lime. It also perfectly combines fine fruits and florals to perfectly balance this out – like bergamot, fig, jasmine de grasse, rose de mai and ylang ylang. The best part for me, though, is the woody, heady twist that yet still manages to smell fresh. Spicy ingredients such as cinnamon, saffron, musk and sandalwood add a beautiful warmth to the overall scent, which I just love. And, of course, for me, the oud finish is the part that most stands out.

There is a reason why this scent is one of the fragrance industry’s most iconic scents. It has so many layers to it, which all stand out throughout the day. The scent lingers on the skin all day and is as strong at the end of the day as it was when first applied in the morning. It’s an expensive fragrance – and it smells that way, too. 

Roja Parfums Amber Aoud is extremely versatile. It would suit a businesswoman in an important meeting, just as much as it would a bride on her wedding day. It has so many elements to it, that there is something for everyone in this perfume.  

Amber Aoud EDP Bottle

Have you ever wanted to buy a fragrance, purely because you know the bottle will look beautiful on your dresser? I’m definitely guilty of this. Not only does this fragrance smell incredible, but the packaging is amazing, too. It comes in a gold-adorned atomizer bottle, with a real Swarovski crystal cap. It’s a real dressing room must-have.
