What do reviewers say about Initial and Bade'e Al Oud Oud for Glory?
Some fragrances announce themselves. Initial whispers, then stays. That fruit-spice opening either hooks you or doesn't, but the honey-patchouli drydown? That's where this earns its reputation.Initial
Saffron and nutmeg make a striking first impression, but the oud is the real story here. This is a confident, oud-forward scent that doesnt apologize for its richness.Bade'e Al Oud Oud for Glory
