My nose picks up on a very prominent cannabis note in the heart of the fragrance. For me, in the far dry down it begins to resemble Side Effect. This fragrance lasts forever, especially on clothing. This definitely needs to be sampled as I think it will be a very polorizing scent.
I definitely enjoyed the review and will sample this before trying since it’s so expensive but you seemed like you was upset they didn’t give you a bottle Sebastian. I don’t if it’s just me but that part came off really entitled. I get that you’re one of the biggest fragrance reviewers and honestly the best to me but that doesn’t necessarily mean brands should always gift you a bottle for review. Big fan from Washington D.C.
You just save me $385, love OFG, I much prefer other brands at this price point, but I will test it, the lack of a prominent licorice is a let down for me, I think they set the bar too high with OFG. Thanks for the review Sebastian!!!
Oud For Greatness I have and I love it been wearing their White musk for the last 4 days would love to get the Atomic Rose I will try this just for curiousity since it seems it’s not worth to get .
This perfume scares you when you smell it. All I could think about when I smelt this perfume was the movie "SAW" strange thing was as it kept drying down it kept getting better and better. A day after I smelt my hand when I sprayed it and couldn't get enough of it. I think I'll buy a bottle of this.
I think the note of cut grass to someone that's partner is a landscaper is like the scent of hair product to someone who's partner is a barber....Smelling scumptous because they are on their hustle and grind❤💛💙💜💚
Great review as always. However, I purchased the scent and my first wearing experience was great! I get the freshness and a strong green note and woods. I can understand to expect a certain smell or experience from something but as for me I just experience it as I wear it and go from there because it’ll cause dissatisfaction in most cases if it doesn’t line up to what you’re expecting something to be.
I’m hearing it better than OFG Bc of the Uniqueness. Weed & Oud is a nice vibe Bc i was expecting a boozy accord next when I heard of the 3 part installment of the Black Gold line
I think it’s perfect for late summer and fall, right before you might switch to OfG. Also love the transformation of the scent 😎🙌🏼 it‘s a decent release, I like it!
I received a decant of this recently which I was very excited for- I wore it once and LOVED the opening, but the dry down was a bit boring. The vanilla and licorice were a bit cloying for me without the zest of the ginger and bergamot to balance it. I’m going to try it out more, but initially, I’m glad I didn’t go for a full bottle.
I was shopping around the mall and I came upon Oud for happiness and I smelled it. The scent gave me chills like no other scent I've experienced before it's super mysterious, but it's one of those scents where it brings me back to a certain point in my life that cannot figure out. Great scent, but $410 at Dillard's is a bit ridiculous, unfortunately.
I enjoy this I got a decant and loved the 5ml I wore. But it's way overpriced with also not 100ml it's a 90ml bottle for almost $400. This juice only costs $195 to me. Not a penny more.
Your on point with this one. It's a beautiful scent. But it keeps you coming back. But not excited to purchase 🤨 where as OFG has an awesome opening. But over priced. Very decent but I'm on the fence with OFG 😕
Lowkey would it be absurd of me to say i love oud for happiness better than oud for greatness? I love them both 100% but this one feels more unique to me?
Hi Sebastian!!! Love your channel. I would like to thank you for all of your information, insights and everything else dealing with fragrances. I'm a fragrance lover and to my surprise I was wearing niche before I knew the term. I have purchase quite a few fragrances since listening to you I have purchased more scents from Luckyscent, BeautyHabit, Fragrancenet and Fragrancex and Tigerlily Perfumes. So again thank you. I would like to know if you are going to England anytime soon. I would love for you to do an interview with Perfumer/Chemist Aaron Terence Rodgers . 😊
I was turned off from this brand when they said they used real oud in oud for greatness, but the juice color is clear as water. I ended up selling my bottle of ofg and rehab. Just washed my hands of this brand.
I've been curious about this one , I always appreciate your honest take on scents 🙏 I really enjoy the original version , while I do think it's overpriced. If you can find it for a deal it's a very pleasant wearing experience :)🍀
As for musk therapy for me personally it’s the let down of the year👎 for me that’s the worst perfume from Initio, I don’t wanna have it even for free. I can’t get anything from the notes there except for sour smell which is horrible and the most important note which is the musk I can’t feel nothing from it, I think something went wrong with the blending of the notes for them , the formula doesn’t work.
Hi, you are the reviewer I follow the most and i quite like your content but, i would like to know how can you tell and on which data do you base your opinion that this fragrance wont be a success?? From what you said, it has all the ingredients to be successful since you said that “it is unique” and that “its a pleasant scent”. I am not hating whatsoever but would like to understand. Thanks and keep going at it.
It was the first perfume that I tried to Selfriges without knowing even the brand Initio. I will never forget that day. It is like a new world opened to me. Bye bye Byredo, Initio is my favorite now.

Sebastian is like "no free bottle" rawr!! Bad review for you oud for happiness!!! Lol just kidding sebastian. Initio is a joke as a brand i got a decant of oud for greatness and i am 1000% there is not a drop of oud in it. People who say "best oud in the game" get blocked instantly. Just buy Bortnikoff if you want an oud fragrence and call it a day. Ramsey
Hi Sebastian . . So I recently found out the Parfums and Initio Parfums are affiliated in some sort of way. That’s messed up about you not getting the PR that you waited for. I’m very appreciative that you thoroughly reviewed this Oud for Happiness . Take care
Sister Company but not like Montale & Mancera, or even the rumored more UPSCALE higher end version of PDM like Creed Royal Exclusive or Rojas. Not the same owners but they work at the same compound & may even use the same ingredients & materials if that makes sense. Not the same brand or even company
@@phleyeboy1 Ok, Sebastian thank you for clarifying the relationship between Parfums de Marley and Initio. Some of these fragrance houses have become short sited 🤔. Keep doing what you are doing, as I appreciate your content very much. Dawn🙏🧚🏼♂️💖
1 of the few scents i can not even understand people like! a lot of perfumes are just not my taste and are not for me.. But this is actually repulsive.. i have smelled a lot of animalic perfumes even that dont give me this feeling..

The next flanker would be oud for sadness
😂😂😂😂😂😂
:-)
Frag World has been spitting them out
Designer and Niche “flanker city”
I’ve gotten away from Indie🤔
And after that Oud For Brokeness
@@bmoneybby I guess Oud For Brokeness went in parallel with OFG and OFH all along😅.
OFH smells better than OFG but OFG's longevity and projection much better than OFH.
Lattafa will soon be coming out with Oud for Joy.
😂😂😂 took the words right out of my mouth
I just bought “Oud for Happiness” . Just wow! 🤩🤩🤩
I actually like it , very good fragrance
When Oud for greatness wasn't an oud scent I'm not falling for the sequel.
I agree. No Oud. Another Niche Frag with a BR540 vibe
Fax
Has it ever been a secret though, that there was no oud? It's a great frag regardless.
@@Teeb2023 I dunno, but with a name like "OUD! for greatness" I kinda think they're trying to say something 🤷♂️ maybe it's just me tho.
@@jeremyhinze8837 Yeah you're right. They should follow Amouage's lead, where they had actual gold in "Gold Man".
Oud for greatness didn’t do it for me, this looks like a pass as well. For the price these companies need to be using real Oud.
My nose picks up on a very prominent cannabis note in the heart of the fragrance. For me, in the far dry down it begins to resemble Side Effect. This fragrance lasts forever, especially on clothing. This definitely needs to be sampled as I think it will be a very polorizing scent.
It is Cannabis hence the Happiness.
I definitely enjoyed the review and will sample this before trying since it’s so expensive but you seemed like you was upset they didn’t give you a bottle Sebastian.

It grows on you. It has a nice ginger lemon vanilla. I get oud in the mid kinda Smokey. Its quiet doesn’t scream. Not bad.
You just save me $385, love OFG, I much prefer other brands at this price point, but I will test it, the lack of a prominent licorice is a let down for me, I think they set the bar too high with OFG. Thanks for the review Sebastian!!!
Watch out coming soon Oud for Melancholy.
There is a note that I am attracted to but not which one it is...I am attracted to this fragrance.
Initio,xerjoff, Pantheon Roma,Aqua viva,Lorenzo vasolari and more are great Italian houses
initio is french tho
Tried it in Selfridges London and was underwhelmed 😬
I’m a fan of Oud for Greatness. Not sure how I feel about the notes in this one. Will have to get my nose on it.
Oud For Greatness I have and I love it been wearing their White musk for the last 4 days would love to get the Atomic Rose I will try this just for curiousity since it seems it’s not worth to get .
I don't think you've done a review on Xerjoff Decas.Could you do a review on that in the future.I still might get Oud for Happiness,just because.
Oud for Grumpiness
I love Initio and love Oud For Greatness. I'm so excited for this release.
You have away of being honest with your opinion with still being fair to the fragrance. Keep up the good work.
This perfume scares you when you smell it. All I could think about when I smelt this perfume was the movie "SAW" strange thing was as it kept drying down it kept getting better and better. A day after I smelt my hand when I sprayed it and couldn't get enough of it. I think I'll buy a bottle of this.
Sounds a bit masculine? I love Absolute Aphrodisiac and Atomic Rose.
Hey looking foreword to this one is this brand up their with other big brands
I think the note of cut grass to someone that's partner is a landscaper is like the scent of hair product to someone who's partner is a barber....Smelling scumptous because they are on their hustle and grind❤💛💙💜💚

Maybe I got a bad batch from.scent angel. The opening to me made me want to throw up. Smelled like sweat and puke mixed together!
I agree with your assessment… the OUD for happiness doesn’t have the instant feeling of excitement unlike OUD for greatness
I like crowd pleasing oud fragrance like mystery oud oud satin mood is oud for greatness one of those??
I was shopping around the mall and I came upon Oud for happiness and I smelled it. The scent gave me chills like no other scent I've experienced before it's super mysterious, but it's one of those scents where it brings me back to a certain point in my life that cannot figure out.

Ouuuch Kalan 😱 alert 🚨 🚨 I take this as a warning ⚠️😆
I enjoy this I got a decant and loved the 5ml I wore. But it's way overpriced with also not 100ml it's a 90ml bottle for almost $400. This juice only costs $195 to me. Not a penny more.
Thanks for sharing Sir. Initio could release Oud for Happiness in another bottle design
Reseña del perfum Nicho Andrés Perfume man, please
Thank you been waiting for your opinion... 💯🎯🤜🏼💥🤛🏾✌🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥
His always on Point
Your on point with this one. It's a beautiful scent. But it keeps you coming back. But not excited to purchase 🤨 where as OFG has an awesome opening. But over priced. Very decent but I'm on the fence with OFG 😕

I find that it smells like a powdery candy-necklace if that makes sense... I really like the smell a lot though!
I'm very curious for this one. I do enjoy musky scents.
Do you prefer Killian apple on the rocks ????
I’m asking because those fragrances are un my list. I know is a different one from other. 😆
Appreciate the review Sebastian. Interested to see what other Initios you have for us!
Oh bummer. i was excited for this one...
I was turned off from this brand when they said they used real oud in oud for greatness, but the juice color is clear as water. I ended up selling my bottle of ofg and rehab. Just washed my hands of this brand.
waoow u have very nicely difrentiate the difrences among the old one with this mew copying the orignal fragrans!!😊👍
I love Atomic Rose and thanks to you Magentic Blend 7. This is intriguing to me but I didn't like Oud For Greatness.
I've been curious about this one , I always appreciate your honest take on scents 🙏

Thank you for the video
Gotta try this one💪🏿 "THUMBS UP"🥊🔔
Oud for Invisibility 🐍
Sebastian is like "no free bottle" rawr!! Bad review for you oud for happiness!!! Lol just kidding sebastian. Initio is a joke as a brand i got a decant of oud for greatness and i am 1000% there is not a drop of oud in it. People who say "best oud in the game" get blocked instantly. Just buy Bortnikoff if you want an oud fragrence and call it a day. Ramsey
Sounds like big bucks for a like !?
Thanks for the heads up on this one XD
Hi Sebastian, thank you for saving me almost 400.00 ❤️ from Miami always
Woahhh perfume guy my friend lol
Thank you
You say oud for greatness smells like br540? Uhh hmm interesting
I love Musk Therapy but this doesn't sound all that great to me. Will sniff Sebastian.
This fragrance is a close cousin to musk therapy.
It smell like i smoked ton of weed at the beginning……. 🙂 i was in shock when i smiled it the first second

The title should be is it as bad as oud for greatness.
The opening smells like garam masala and lime, imo.
1 of the few scents i can not even understand people like! a lot of perfumes are just not my taste and are not for me.. But this is actually repulsive.. i have smelled a lot of animalic perfumes even that dont give me this feeling..
❤️it 👍
Very average. Not going to be a hit at all. Disappointed
It has a marijuana smell to it as well, lol.
🌹
It's a hard pass for me. I don't get this brand. Their concept is confusing.
👍👍👍
