      I agree with you 💯%👍🤝. Every nose is different and people like different stuff. What's important is that you like it and it fits your taste. If someone doesn't like the fragrance that I am wearing, then that's their problem, but don't bring that dislike to me. We just can't please everyone else, it's impossible! I think Middle Eastern fragrances are the best, the quality ingredients are amazing. The House of Lattafa fragrances are fantastic. I have many of their fragrances in my collection, I darn love all of them.

    Im the same in that I tend to like more basic fragrences. When i first smelled the real Oud For Greatness by Initio, i was taken aback. I was like "wtf is that?" and didn't like it off first sniff.
    But then i had a bunch of other people smell it, both men and women, and EVERY single one of them said they liked it a lot.
    So i gave it another chance and now i get it. It's a dark and mysterious scent. Something a dark figure wearing a black cloak would smell like. I enjoy it a lot now, but its still not something i personally wear too often. This is a great clone of the real thing, they are very similar.

    Maybe it doesn't count because they are my relatives, but I saw my sister and mom today, and they both demanded I tell them what I'm wearing because it smells so good. They sometimes say I smell good, but they have never asked what I'm wearing before.
    My mom is going to purchase it for my stepdad now.

    i bought this a year ago and hated it. so cloying and syrupy...blah. However, like so many challenging fragrances, coming back to it later you find your sensibilities and understanding of fragrance has matured and u often have an aha moment. I had the same happen recently with Paco Rabbane XS which i thought smelled like the stem of a flower.,,,just weird. then last week i put it on and was blown away by the mint and bergamot. I almost threw that one out too. Glad I didnt. I put Oud for Glory on today after watching this to remind myself how crap it was....and boom! oh wow....i finally have an entrance point into understanding it. Some people say that Oud for Greatness is a clone of BR 540. Can u see similarities with for example Untold? or are they completely different?

    Imo, Lattafa Amethyst is better if you're looking into buying oud for glory. Amethyst has a similar vibe, but it is somewhat balanced with added powdery sweetness from the rose and a bit of vanilla on the base (which toned down the animalic oud that OFG has).

    • @ParagonFragrances
      @ParagonFragrances  Před rokem +3

      I've heard that it's a little bit better! And plus when you mix rose with oud it seems to work really well.
      I just picked up oud satin clone and I love it. So it's not all oud fragrances that I hate. It's just the mixture of this animalic nature that's going on in oud for glory. But it's some people's vibe! No hate towards people, love my peeps!

  • @gavinlynas2833
    @gavinlynas2833 Před rokem +15

    I would disagree on most of what you said. It is sweet but also very tangy. It's also fruity in a red berry kind of way. There's more going on though with the spices etc, and the woodyness dries out the tartness giving the overall scent a smooth husky texture despite the sharpness. There is also a gasoline like note which covers over everything further toning down the tang and giving it a masculine edge. Desipte all this it's still pretty tart but I wouldn't say there is any fecal quality about it at all. It's perhaps just that things that normally smell that sharp usually are things going off, so I can see why someone might associate that with it. Also, it's one of those scents that smell much better in the air. Seeing as though it's fruity I would say it's definitely a sexier enticing type of scent as long as it's lightly sprayed. Very rich though, very rich.

      ​@@bigbang5831 You're probably picking up on the gasoline note and only noticing that when you smell it. If theres something in a fragrance you dont like you tend to hyper focus on that and miss out appreciating the other notes. It's almost like hypnotising yourself into thinking it's bad. Then one day you smell a nice scent on someone and ask what it is and its that fragrance. I dont like One Million because I dont like the mass appealing vanilla but the amount of times Ive asked someone what they're wearing only to find out its that is embarrasing.
      I dont blame you for not liking this though since it's very much a more complex snif-a-holics "I want something richer/deeper/different" type of scent, AND it's middle eastern-ish with the fairly sharp oud (It gets way more skankier than that). I definately think it could do with a little more smoothness/lightness to make it more wareable. I hardly use it myself. Just a little too rich and inappropriate I feel but there's probably someone who wears it all the time and is a hit with the ladies.

      @@bigbang5831 Yes in the dry down youve basically got a fruity tangy leather scent. The fragrance was probably made months ago already so I dont see how storing it for another month would change anything. Mine still smells the same and Ive had it for more than a year. Its probably just too much of a leap in what youre used to and youre finding it hard to adapt, and youre sniffing it up close (its quite a nose full) when others will be smelling it dissipated in the air as its meant to. Just wear it and see what reactions you get or spray it on someone else lol and see how sexy they become/ or not. No-one has said a thing to me yet but I have only worn it about 6 times during non-social events.

    Yeah, got this two weeks ago and was really disappointed. Almost immediately gone, no projection and the smell...I don't know man, maybe it's just not my thing but I just didn't like it and maybe that's because it's so weak. I'll leave it a few months in the bottle and see if it gained...something. Great vid, keep going.

      Edit: ow damn was I wrong! Like I said, I left it in the bottle and shortly after writing my comment here an other creator that's 100% about fragrances told me to also leave the cap of for a few days. So said, so done
      When I tried more recently I was actually blown away how much the juice matured. It is a powerful smell and it took me one day of wearing to get used to it but just a day or later I tried it again and somehow I got it, I understood and liked it. One thing though, it's a definite fall /winter cold weather smel
      You can't wear it when it's somewhat warmer or even hot outside. Apart from bugs some people might actually attack you, just kidding. But really, only colder weather, let it rest for a month or so in the bottle and in the second week take the cap of for about 1-2 days. You might be surprised. Positive or negative, I don't know..that's a matter of taste.

I can relate to you more than the fragsnobs mad. that something like YSL Myself doesn't smell fecal enough. Sick.

    two significantly more refined scents would be the cheapest mosquito repellant you could get, or an off-brand pepper spray.

    I was surprised by this fragrance. Wasn't sure if I liked it or not. But it's kind of grown on me. Smells like dark wood and chocolate. Maybe a lead pencil or metallic note too. Good projection and longevity. But I have to be in the mood for it and usually reserve it for a rainy day. I'd much rather wear this than Encre Noire by Lalique which is another dark fragrance but that one smells like rotten death to me. LOL But I would not get this again TBH. There's much more pleasant fragrances out there.

    What people don't understand about this type of oud based perfumes is that they're very dressy, formal and potent. Just like Oud Satin Mood MFK, they should be sprayed on clothes even the night prior to wear it off a bit and avoid disturbing people around you. Sometimes, people compliment your fragrance cause it's too strong, not necessarily cause it smells nice. Al haramain's Oudh Adam is a better clone than Lataffa's imo for those who enjoy OFG but can't afford it.
    Psdt: DO NOT spray ANY oud based perfume right before walking out the door!!! Just don't! They're NOT summer freshies!
