    I received a 1mL vial in the mail today. After applying the whole thing, I just sat there, stunned. Had I just discovered the PERFECT fragrance? Well, within the next five minutes, I was online, ordering my very own 90mL bottle. I will now pace the floor every second until it arrives. This stuff is absolutely incredible!

    Over the years, I have also come to understand that people perceive concepts in different ways . Oud For Greatness is a great fragrance, so long as you don't over spray. I have a sweater that retained the far dry down for a least 1 month . . . even though there were only 2 short sprays to my neck area prior to getting dressed for the day. I find that over application will lead to a synthetic vibe that could be annoying to some.
    Thanks as always for sharing.

    As an experiment I did two sprays of this on a 96 degree day last summer. My wife was outside in her hammock. She said she could smell it and she was about 5 yards away from where I stood. Also, Imho it does not smell like 540 enough to do a comparison. Definitely one of my favorite winter fragrances.

    There is just something about the way this is blended. Maybe its just me, but i cant help but get an oil/water vibe, i just don’t think the blending is there. It doesn’t have a rounded off feel to me, its like two opposing sides that just never overlap, they just sit next to each other. But they’re never cohesive to my nose. Other fragrances, i can pick apart diff notes, but they usually come together to create something new. This, just stays as separate notes, that never coagulate into one. I like all the notes, just dont think they work together (here).

    Great review! I agree that the only similarity between this and BR540 is the saffron. I get why people draw that conclusion but if you wear OFG you easily get the Oud in the mid, which alone makes it different.
    I got this for Christmas, and I love it. One spray on the neck, one on my hand although I've found that kinda pointless as it gets washed off throughout the day, and speaking of the day the compliments come throughout. If you're looking for an "oud" fragrance, this might not be it, but I personally love how the saffron and oud work with each other.

    Nothing like BR540. OFG is a full on Oriental fragrance with depth and day long performance. Fragrances like this, with its mega performance, are becoming more rare because of price and versatility issues. One bottle would last a western worlder 10 years.

Of course they definitely are different but on both them, 90% of what I smell is the saffron which is very similar in both. The spicy oud is more in the background to my nose which disappointed me a little. I like the oud more in Oud Wood as well but also agree with your comparison there.

If you had told me BR400 had made a men's variation and sampled this OFG, I would have totally believed it lol. I absolutely loved this scent.

    To my nose the BR540 comparison goes a little longer than just the saffron, since Tuscan Leather is also a saffron bomb and doesn't remind me of the Initio for eg. I believe it's a saffron-hedione-maltol-oakmoss combo that's become the 'BR540 signature' if you will.

    I dont smell oud at all in this one. I definitely smell baccarat rouge 540 all the time. especially the red cherry like note. Initio is more metallic though. they definitely share a common synthetic that is like 40% of the receipt I'm sure...

  • @stilyanandreevtaipan3928
    @stilyanandreevtaipan3928 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    it has some chemical component in the background identical to that of Baccarat rouge. that's why they seem so similar to people. At three or four hours the similarity is very noticeable.

    So if this is a winter or night fragrance, what would you suggest for summer?

    Suggestions welcome 😊

      Oud really is better for colder and night settings, I don't think its a well done scent for the summer or hot weather. Too dark.

    It's similar for sure, not on the top but more in the drydown of OFG. Btw i own both and i prefer OFG.

      Umm the companies (initio and perfumes de Marley were both sold off to another company, including the recipes)- now the brother and sister that sold it off told them that they would only sell under the condition that the formulas would never be changed, but obviously the company that bought off the brands does what every company like that does (waters them down and downgrades the quality of the ingredients.... And at that point, it's almost sad to say that it would be better to just get lattafas knockoff than to buy a 400 bottle of perfume that was watered down.
