Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud for Greatness EDP
A powerhouse oud that balances spice, wood, and mystery in a regal, magnetic blend. Not for the faint of heart, its projection and gravitas command attention and linger long after you leave the room.

Our Verdict - Oud for Greatness - 839 EDP
No. 839 takes on Initio's Oud for Greatness with a similarly bold saffron-oud-patchouli structure, but the oud is noticeably more synthetic and less resinous than Initio's high-concentration natural oud, and overall projection drops off faster.
