Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Grandeur EDP
A budget read of Initio's Oud for Greatness Neo - that fresher, brighter take on the famous oud, with saffron and bergamot lifting a fir-and-lavender heart over real oud weight. Oud Grandeur tracks the pyramid faithfully, with one PP wearer claiming no difference side by side, though the oud reads a touch more synthetic and the fresh lift flatter than the niche original. Strong value for an oud this wearable.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Royal Leather EDP
A luxurious and bold leather scent that blends rich spices with animalic undertones for those who crave sophistication and presence.
