• Saffron
• Fir Balsam
• Musk

Oud for Greatness NEO combines dark woody oud with a noticeably brighter aromatic contrast. Bergamot introduces citrus freshness, Lavender Orpur® contributes a clean herbal quality and fir balsam adds a cool, resinous evergreen character.

Saffron brings warmth and spice against the fresher notes, while musk helps create a smoother finish around the oud. The overall effect is woody and substantial but fresher and greener than the original Oud for Greatness.

Both fragrances center on oud, lavender, saffron and musk, but Initio gives them noticeably different supporting materials.

Oud for Greatness pairs oud and agarwood oil with lavender, saffron, patchouli, musk and nutmeg, creating a woody, amber and floral-ambery profile.

Oud for Greatness NEO introduces bergamot and fir balsam while removing the original's listed patchouli and nutmeg. Initio classifies NEO as woody, aromatic and floral ambery, giving it a fresher, greener and more aromatic direction while preserving the oud-centered identity.

If you already enjoy the original but want to explore a brighter interpretation of the concept, sampling NEO first is an easy way to compare the two directly on skin.

Oud for Greatness NEO combines substantial woody depth with bergamot, lavender and fir balsam, making it potentially more versatile than a heavily amber-focused oud fragrance. It can work well for evenings, dinners, cooler weather, dressed-up occasions and situations where you want a polished woody scent with aromatic freshness.

The brighter citrus, lavender and evergreen facets can also make NEO appealing during transitional weather and milder daytime conditions.

Longevity, projection, and sillage can vary depending on skin chemistry, application, climate, and environment.

Oud for Greatness NEO combines several contrasting elements that are difficult to judge from a note list alone: dark oud, sparkling bergamot, aromatic lavender, spicy saffron and fresh fir balsam.

An Oud for Greatness NEO sample lets you experience those contrasts on your own skin and compare the fragrance with the original Oud for Greatness. A larger travel-size decant provides additional wearings without requiring the commitment of a full-size bottle.
