Bergamot opens it, bright and clean, with black pepper right behind. Then the praline comes in: soft, nutty and sweet. It settles into oud and vanilla over cedarwood, guaiac wood and sandalwood. A smooth, creamy oud. Smoky underneath, sweet on top.
Know Oud for Greatness? Same Initio oud line, different mood. Oud Elite, our take on Oud for Greatness, opens with saffron, nutmeg and lavender and stays drier. Oud Gracia is the sweeter, creamier one, with praline and vanilla. We make both: Oud Elite.
