The drydown is where it meets Oud for Greatness, with real skanky oud on top of it that the original does not have. Not everyone agrees it is close enough to count, so buy it as its own thing.

Like rich oud and saffron on a bed of lavender, nutmeg and patchouli adding warmth to the dark musky core It opens on Saffron, Nutmeg, Lavender.
Oud For Greatness is one of Initio's flagship releases — a 2018 unisex eau de parfum built around a striking combination of lavender and oud. These two notes don't appear together often, and the contrast is the whole point of this fragrance.
Saffron, nutmeg, and lavender open the composition. The saffron is metallic and warm. Nutmeg adds earthy, slightly sweet spice. Lavender is fresh and aromatic. The pairing of lavender with saffron creates something that's simultaneously clean and deep.
Oud sits alone in the heart — no supporting florals, no softening roses. Just oud: dark, resinous, and rich. It's a confident choice that either works for you or doesn't.
Patchouli and musk close the fragrance. Patchouli reinforces the dark, earthy quality of the oud. Musk extends the dry-down and adds a skin-close warmth.
A 7.8 rating. The lavender-oud concept is genuinely interesting, and when it works on skin, it's distinctive. Some find the pairing too stark; others find it exactly what they were looking for. Best for evenings and cooler months.
