For casual fragrance lovers like myself, I suggest you get the Lattafa one, they're similar, like 90% similar (maybe even more) especially after a mere hour or two. The closeness of the scent simply doesn't justify the ridiculous price difference at all.
I agree. I have the original and also i have spent like 2 bottles of the Lattafa and no one notices when i wear the original or the clone. Even for my nose is difficult to differentiate between. Oud for Glory is just a little more harsh on the opening but that goes away like 5 minutes after you spray it on you. So the dry down is like 95 percent of the Oud for Greatness. So, Why to spend over 300 dollars if you can get the same performance with like 35-40 bugs. That is the best deal. I stopped wearing the original one day after i got the clone. I love it. Many compliments anywhere i go.
I watched so many reviews comparing these two fragrances (at least 6 videos, if not more). This video was the most descriptive, and the most helpful one I've watched
Thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets the BR540 vibe from it. I get it riiiiight after the rubbery smell in the beginning fades away. I'm definitely happy with the Lattafa offering!
Update: I blind bought this. Never smelled oud before. It smells close to Sauvage elixir but with a slight burnt tire at the beginning. I don’t need this as I have Sauvage elixir. Doesn’t smell bad.
I have both and while glory is very close, there is a difference. Is the difference worth $300, that's a personal decision. I'll ALWAYS prefer Greatness over Glory. But to tell you my 2 cents... 1. I can smell the difference. People won't though. But for me I smell it. Greatness is just smoother and well blended from jump. 2. While Greatness smells good, I didn't just buy it to smell good. OUD for Greatness is art in bottle. I always think art is worth the price.
Thanks for the comparison. I have a decant of Oud for Greatness and it's gorgeous. It's definitely what you said, creamy and sophisticated.. I also find it somewhat suttle. I may purchase a full bottle later. So many fragrances I want and so little time. And need to keep my budget in check when choosing 😁
I have Latiffa's Oud for Glory and I really like it. Why pay 10 times as much for Initio OFG when both fragrances smell very similar after a couple of minutes?
That's like asking, "Why buy the original artwork when you can just buy a printed image of it?" Of course ANYONE can buy a printed image of artwork, but only those who truly love and collect art would invest in the actual scent that took months, if not years to compose. You're not just buying a fragrance from a house, but the artwork that the nose(perfumer) crafted. As an artist I would be devastated if someone else took my work I spent so long to create, credited it as their own, and took the profits of my hard work. I do not own many designer handbags or shoes because I cannot afford them currently, but I would not buy a knock off designer hand bag or shoe because in my eyes it's disrespectful and tacky. I would much rather budget and save for things I value.
@@DramaticDylan I agree for the most part but I feel like the majority of the audience that buys the Lataffa would not have spent 375 on the original in the first place. I got a free sample of oud for greatness and it's amazing, but I do not have the funds to buy the real thing (university student) so it allows people like me to enjoy the general scent profile until I am in the position to spend that much on the OG.
I picked up some very heavy roasted sweet pineapple mixed with secondhand tobacco notes. Then it'll dry down to inky incense musky notes. For its price it does smell expensive.
This was really interesting. I have to admit that the bottles look very luxurious. I don't know the smell of any of the 2, but, I think that for a beginner like me, it would be appropriate to start with Lattafa Oud for Glory. A few years ago, I smelled some oud perfumes and i got some serious headache. And then someone told me that the oud perfumes must be first smelled in the air😊 Meanwhile, my tastes changed and I think that now i am ready to have in my collection an oud perfume🤗. That's why i wanted so mich to watch this video. I had a great time while watching🤗♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
There really should be a sampler pack purely dedicated to an oud introduction. Start off with the lightest most easy going and work your way up to the power houses
Paid 360 bucks for the OFG and recently sniffed the “oud glory Lattafa”. The similarity is definitely there. Definitely there. However OFG is more refined and has smooth roundness as per your description. And there is a certain push and pull characteristic of OFG, like Baccarat Rouge, which is the wizardry or sorcery of OGG. Beautifully and smoothly narrated. Bunch of thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
@@IamNoelle I received 2 small official sample of OFG during end of 2019. The 90ml bottle I have still left unused. Have written based on those 4ml samples. For the rest of impression I am relying on you. Haven’t managed time to explore so relying on your review 😊😊😊👍👍👍
Hey don't forget the the lattafa oud for glory has oud in the mid and oud in the base. That's why the oud note is stronger than the Initio parfums Oud for Greatness
@@IamNoelle no worries . It’s just really refreshing watching a nice calm informative review . I’m so glad I saw your review post on the gents scents fb page xx
You should remember that some people listen to rather than watch your videos. When you refer to "this one" and "that one, we don't know what you're talking about.
You remind me a lot of my mother (may she rest in peace). Don't get me wrong, allow me to explain here. You have style, confidence, you are charismatic, you are comfortable in both stylish clothes and sports clothes, you own yourself a lot and inspire others. I like you a lot! I do want to see a vlog from you and get to know you better if you are willing to share more of your life. Also, a video about how you choose perfume and stuff. That would be interesting. Keep it up!
Ah, thank you so much, such kind words, seriously now... ☺️♥️ I am traveling a bit now and the initial plan was to do a daily vlog, but somehow that didn't work out too well 😅 but in the future, I will for sure diversify a bit
I have oud for glory and I love it but the bottle I have only last 1 hour on my skin and 2 hours on clothes. I decided to buy OUD FOR greatness it will be delivered Monday I can't wait
@@IamNoelle I think so. I received the OUD FOR GREATNESS and it better quality but the smell is pure close to OUD FOR GLORY. I think if you use one or another people around you will not smell de different . I am use OUD FOR GLORY at home and OUD FOR greatness when I need the performance .if my bottle had good performance I would never buy OUD FOR Greatness.
I got the oud for greatness and the longevity, protection is insane, well worth the money , clones are good bt they dnt perform , so just save for the real bottle
I always say with clones and ppl say not as smooth in the opening lol who’s is smelling your scent in the first 10 minutes other than yourself you know
Real is way better, i can't believe how reviewers say its 90% the same, it's like 70% at the most to my nose, its missing a lot. Clone as a free standing scent is great for the price but its no clone to me, inspired by yes.
Oud For Glory e un must have de la Lattafa, Oud For Greatness nu il am. Numa l-am mirosit. E bun, nu zic, e mai "multifatetat", insa mie imi ajunge si Lattafa. Un singur minus am gasit la Oud For Glory: ar trebui sa se vanda de 2-3 ori mai scump! ;)
Oud can be strong and pungent, even dirty for some and some types of our are that way. The oud here is not very difficult to like, it's defintely not dirty, but masculine and deep.
Indeed, forgot about those, remembered after editing it. 😔 Projection is better with Oud for greatness, Oud for Glory does a good job with that for 2 hours or so and after it stays closer to the skin. Same with longevity, the Initio is better than Lattafa. Oud for Greatness stayed on my skin 12+ hours.
i had 2 clones and the original one and my honest opinion there are apart from oud for glory few Turkish clones that are coming as 100% clone (same name same packaging) basically fakes and they smell extremely similar with the original. So when u can buy a clone or a fake which 90% of the people won't be able to distinguish and they have the same performances in terms of time of the smell and projection like the original and the price is like 270£ for original and around 40£ for a fake and i know 100% the original has no natural oud at all i think is the time for initio to rethink their marketing strategies
and unfortunately, over 95% of the western perfume brands don't use real oud even at over 200£ + price tag that's why all my oud perfumes are Arabian brands. You can go to dubai and get insanely good custom made perfumes which actually got real ingredients not only chemicals
This clone smells terrible, yak. I thought it would be close to Oud for greatness, but its nothing close to it. It opens harsh and stays like that all day, same opening same dry down . Very harsh and smoky. Similar to Armaf Untold ( which has nothing to do with BR 540 lol), I am done with all these desperate clones!
As vrea sa pot si eu cu Oud, dar e imposibil :/ Plus ca aici e chiar la fi e ca re colt. E mirosul de Selfridges, de Ox St, de scump de ieftin de ...you name it :)) Cred ca doar prin 2012 am reusit sa port cate ceva cu oud
I still can't get over how descriptive this video was. This is the gold standard for anyone who's thinking of blind buying a fragrance. Could you please do a comparison video comparing these three? 1. PDM Percival 2. Killian Vodka on the Rocks 3. PDM Layton 3. A&F Fierce Intense
I haven't smelt the Initio fragrance but I recently purchased the Lattafa fragrance - so disappointing. The fragrance profile is just overall unpleasant, bland, one dimensional. The fragrance turns "sour" after a few hours and the nutmeg & saffron over power the scent profile. The oud is also weird - neither animalic nor medicinal - just unlike oud. If the Initio fragrance smells like the Lattafa, even if only 80-90% smiliarity, then it is an absolute waste of money. I don't understand the rage is with OFG... much better to spend your money on a proper oud fragrance from Amouage, Ajmal, Xerjoff... Etc What the Initio/ Lattafa fragrances need is something to give it more depth - some resins and woods. I feel adding bezoin, sandalwood, cedar and some vanilla or tonka beam would really elevate and greatly improve the overall feel of the fragrance. I'll be honest. I'm actually a little angry this fragrance exists haha. What people enjoy about it I'll never understand.
I am sorry you aren't enjoying it. My advice is to let it sit for a while 2-3 weeks, dark cool place and see what happens after. At the end of the day, maybe you simply dislike the fragrance, which is a possibility.
is there something wrong with me? with my nose. this smells like deep inside a big trashcan with rotten leftover food inside. I am not trying to be funny. I own 3 oud frags so far, one is oud wood. I know, oud is a strange note. but that scent..... I don't know. this s the 1st with safran though. I am literally shocked by that scent which is the best dupe of OFGreatness people say. which I don't know.
It has a certain dirtiness to it and I guess that’s how your nose and brain translate it for you, based on your personal associations. You should also try Supremacy in Oud by Afnan, slightly different, but still a dupe for it, maybe that will be more to your liking. I will have a comparison video between the Afnan frag and Oud for greatness pretty soon on the channel.
Oud for glory lattafa is the worst fragrance I ever bought. One spray and i was nauseous in a minute .. gave me headache with in 5minutes. I dont know who and why someone will buy this in the first place... hyped up fragrance on the internet..
@@KashifKhan-cs3nxlmao 😂😂😂😂. Me to. This was the most horrible smell I have ever smelled with a fragrance. Like I was on a fast and furious set watching them burn tires and me getting the full affect of it in my nose.
A breeze blows in from the deserts of Arabia, Just watch, Noelle will soon fill up stadia, From across the seven seas, Noelle's voice is like a soft breeze, Did I mention about a Queen of Romania? ;)
For casual fragrance lovers like myself, I suggest you get the Lattafa one, they're similar, like 90% similar (maybe even more) especially after a mere hour or two. The closeness of the scent simply doesn't justify the ridiculous price difference at all.

Yea, it’s a pretty good dupe ☺️
If u want smells like br540 let's check lattafa ana abiyedh rouge
Yes is true. Some ADN from 540 on this fragance. I love it. Wear it almost every day.

Oh no, will you keep it?
@@IamNoelle I don’t think so, elixir is as far as I’ll venture lol

You forgot the most important thing, projection and longevity
Indeed, forgot about those, remembered after editing it. 😔
Projection is better with Oud for greatness, Oud for Glory does a good job with that for 2 hours or so and after it stays closer to the skin. Same with longevity, the Initio is better than Lattafa. Oud for Greatness stayed on my skin 12+ hours.
Great video.. aroma from heaven
Mm, yes 😊 thank you

From this comparison I would take Initio defo 😁
And I don't blame you 😅😋
i had 2 clones and the original one and my honest opinion there are apart from oud for glory few Turkish clones that are coming as 100% clone (same name same packaging) basically fakes and they smell extremely similar with the original. So when u can buy a clone or a fake which 90% of the people won't be able to distinguish and they have the same performances in terms of time of the smell and projection like the original and the price is like 270£ for original and around 40£ for a fake and i know 100% the original has no natural oud at all i think is the time for initio to rethink their marketing strategies

How long do you think the performance is for each fragrance?
Around 7-8 for the dupe and 8-9 for the other one.
So you would say its unisex and women can pull it off too?
It does lean masculine, it's true, but I wear it and like it. Most important aspect is to like it 🤩
Lattafa bade'e al oud of glory ili flavia initial?
Not sure I know what you mean?
I have intio paragon and lattafa vintage radio and they smell the same to me

If the Initio fragrance smells like the Lattafa, even if only 80-90% smiliarity, then it is an absolute waste of money. I don't understand the rage is with OFG... much better to spend your money on a proper oud fragrance from Amouage, Ajmal, Xerjoff... Etc
What the Initio/ Lattafa fragrances need is something to give it more depth - some resins and woods. I feel adding bezoin, sandalwood, cedar and some vanilla or tonka beam would really elevate and greatly improve the overall feel of the fragrance.
I'll be honest. I'm actually a little angry this fragrance exists haha. What people enjoy about it I'll never understand.
I am sorry you aren't enjoying it. My advice is to let it sit for a while 2-3 weeks, dark cool place and see what happens after. At the end of the day, maybe you simply dislike the fragrance, which is a possibility.
@@IamNoelle it's not your fault :) It is what it is. I've left it to macerate... fingers crossed it gets better ;)
is there something wrong with me? with my nose. this smells like deep inside a big trashcan with rotten leftover food inside. I am not trying to be funny. I own 3 oud frags so far, one is oud wood. I know, oud is a strange note. but that scent..... I don't know. this s the 1st with safran though. I am literally shocked by that scent which is the best dupe of OFGreatness people say. which I don't know.
It has a certain dirtiness to it and I guess that’s how your nose and brain translate it for you, based on your personal associations. You should also try Supremacy in Oud by Afnan, slightly different, but still a dupe for it, maybe that will be more to your liking. I will have a comparison video between the Afnan frag and Oud for greatness pretty soon on the channel.
Lattafa's Oud for Glory all the way.
😁 yep
Love you...subbed
🖤
Damn! It just hit me that you look like a 4:3 ratio of Britney spears and Dua Lipa 😮
I've been told I look like Dua Lipa many times ☺️
😍😍
Thank you darling for the beautiful comparison, am glad I have them both, you are right there's nothing like the real stuff if one can afford to. 😘
It was my pleasure ☺️🤗
I watched your video cuz you look glorious to me. I don’t have nothing to do with perfumes lol
Ohhh 🥹 thank you!
It's really great clone.
Indeed 🥳
Ex Nihilo Outcast blue extrait

Are way better than these two !!! It’s smells like sweet saffron and tobacco with oud
I haven't tried those. I added them to the list and I will when I get the chance. 🤗
it doesn't contain oud is just chemical oud reproduction
clone smells more like oud :))
Mine oud for glory is comming yay
Tell me if you like it once you get it 🤗
Oud for greatness much much much much better than this glory maybe ten times
Of course it's better, as it should be 😋
yeah, but definately not 10 times.
Nice Review
Thanks 🙏🏼
So useful
Glad to know that ☺️🤗
The only good thing is the box, nothing else.
Which of the two boxes? 😂
oud for glory is overhyped , longevity and projection are very weak ,save your money to buy a beast mode fragrances .
Sorry it didn't work for you
Mine IS beast mode, I couldnt imagine anything stronger
Oud for glory lattafa is the worst fragrance I ever bought. One spray and i was nauseous in a minute .. gave me headache with in 5minutes. I dont know who and why someone will buy this in the first place... hyped up fragrance on the internet..
I hope you got rid of it 😬😂
The funny thing is that it gets better in time
@@IamNoelle yeah, unfortunately mine went straight into the trash lol. it is definitely not for everyone. Thank you for your videos and reviews.
@@KashifKhan-cs3nxlmao 😂😂😂😂. Me to. This was the most horrible smell I have ever smelled with a fragrance. Like I was on a fast and furious set watching them burn tires and me getting the full affect of it in my nose.
I like the snake skin
Sssss 🐍😅
omg beautiful
☺️
@@IamNoelle 😳
Oud in Initio is "Synthetic", Whereas, in Lattafa it is real Agarwood Oud, though in a small amounts.
Where did you get this information from? The one regarding Lattafa I mean.
@@IamNoelle Internal source
I paid 11$ for ofg

You did not mention, yet Romania is a Republic at this moment.
Thank you ♥️♥️
@@IamNoelle Really? Cuz I’m sure I’ve seen a Romanian Queen now ;)
Gorgeous eyes!!

The bottles are similar but they are quite different if that makes sense lol
Yea, different enough not to confuse them with each other. :))
@@IamNoelle yes lol. Is it actually quite similar to BR540? which is actually my signature scent 😊
A rough, lacking sweetness BR540 ☺️
Im just watching this cause ur pretti 😏
Thanks for your honesty 😅
You look like 11 (Millie Bobby Brown)
Only in this video? Or in general?
