The composition
These notes are recorded without a pyramid.
On the skin
The house lists Oud, Agarwood Oil, Lavender, Saffron, Patchouli, Musk and Nutmeg for Oud for Greatness. That is a flat list of notes, not a pyramid, and we leave the order to your own wearings. Give it time to settle before you judge it.
Initio Parfums Privés Oud for Greatness is classified as woody, floral and amber. If those families usually work for you, a sample confirms it; if they usually do not, it may still surprise you. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.
The decant holds the same liquid as the full bottle of Initio Parfums Privés Oud for Greatness, moved into a small glass spray vial by FragranceGems and labelled by us. The vial closes tightly and fits in a pocket or bag, so you can test it wherever your day goes.
Testing it
No season or occasion is on record for Oud for Greatness, so let your own days decide. Test it on skin and not only on paper. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening.
By its tags, Initio Parfums Privés Oud for Greatness is meant for everyone (unisex). If you are choosing a gift, testing it yourself first tells you what you are giving. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you.
Trying before owning saves shelf space and regret. The vial is filled and labelled by us, FragranceGems, from the original bottle. It is not an official brand sample and we are not affiliated with the house. A bottle of 90 ml lasts a long time, so it helps to be sure first.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

Read how we fill your sampleQuestions
Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Initio Parfums Privés Oud for Greatness and filled into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems. The vial carries our own label, so it is a decant and not a sample made by the brand.
Because the record for Initio Parfums Privés Oud for Greatness gives one flat list: Oud, Agarwood Oil, Lavender, Saffron, Patchouli, Musk and Nutmeg. We print notes exactly as recorded and never sort them into a pyramid ourselves.
Spray it on clean skin, do not rub, and check it after a few minutes, at midday and in the evening. Repeat that on a few different days before you decide about a bottle.
The brand
We list 20 perfumes by Initio Parfums Privés as samples. Every sample is a decant in a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. We file Initio Parfums Privés under the niche perfume samples. Start small, wear each one on a normal day and decide afterwards.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
