I got a sample and found it too intense but then I thought, "You know who this would smell great on? My truck." So I give the seats in my truck a spritz every few months (because it lasts FOREVER) and my truck smells like the most f-ing amazing truck in the world. I'm completely serious.

I actually liked this better than Oud for Greatness. The fresh ginger note in the opening is what stood out the most for me. I found it fresher and more uplifting than Oud for Greatness. Very unique fragrance.

I got a chance to smell OFH yesterday and actually ended up really liking it, so much so I bought a bottle on the spot. I have had OFG, side effect and blessed Baraka for several months now and to be honest Initio hasn’t disappointed my nose yet.

You have become quite the educator, Aaron. Well done.

I actually prefer this to OFG which to me smells too medicinal, this ones has an uplifting masala dessert smell definitely a unique scent

I am in the process of sampling different Bergamot from Italy.one is crazy expensive. But if I do an exclusive bergamot fragrance it will be with the best I can get. But it could just be sales telling me it’s amazing. There Vetiver was outstanding. So I have high expectations

Totally agree with you Aaron. Oud for Greatness its really nice, that lovely sensual oomph it has its delicious. The animalic touch latches to the skin perfectly and turns into a skin scent with more grace. But... dunno... Oud for Happiness doesn't makes honor to the name. Initio parfums its a lovely house indeed but this creation when i first sprayed it on my skin was... gosh why didn't sprayed this on a tester strip. It feels like burning licorice and so metalic it almost feels like a toxic light mist of notes i can't get to like. I really don't like it at all. Besides that, as always lovely review and all my best energies and positive vibes. You are the best ❤

I love oud for greatness And I 100% agree with you this is nothing like it. I always love your honesty and the fact that you share your knowledge with us like no other. I won a free bottle of this so I have it but it sounds like it smells different on my skin than it does yours. I don’t get as much of the licorice and that ashtray smell that you do. I get more of a cannabis smell on my skin. I do agree though if I didn’t get it for free I’m not sure that I would buy it but I don’t dislike it as much as you do. 😂

The opening is very polarizing. The Licorice is very dominating for a couple hrs but after 2hrs or so all that mellows and oud for happiness becomes this beautiful vanilla fragrances. It completely changes after a few hours

I like it..... Its like a ginger day time fragrance...... Apparently its suppose to capture cannabis notes

It didn't have ethyl malthol whipping through the base.

I just tried OFH and I definitely get the ashtray note. Like BO mixed with cigarettes. Sad

"there's things missing from this" . I giggled and saw it 3 more times 🤣

I tested it the other day and couldn't get past the opening. I even like licorice, but not in this.

I have a weird question .... I've noticed in several of your videos when you talk about white florals or lily of the valley you refer to them as a specific type of raw material. It's a word that I'm not familiar with but it sounds like you are saying "may-jif" raw materials. It may be a combination of my bad hearing and your accent (which is lovely, by the way), but I can't quite make out what that word is. Would you please tell me?

I don't think the marketing department either knows what they meant with "all naturals". I would bank on them having learned the phrase "plausible deniability" from Independence Day.

"Talk to me Goose!" :D

You only had to mention licorice and I immediately know not to try this one out. I absolutely detest that smell and that note has completely ruined any fragrance I've ever tried that it was in. You can have the most amazing composition of tobacco, oud, vanilla, rose, sandalwood, tonka bean (all the good stuff) and as soon as I see licorice, I immediately turn away. It is by far my most hated fragrance note, in case you couldn't tell lol. I hate black licorice candy as well.

Smelling this for the 2nd time. It's nothing like & certainly nowhere near as good as OFG. Musk Therapy is better. They need to chill with the intentional hedione overkills as it makes their lineup feel fairly redundant & boring. The price on this, though? ...lol

This is the biggest let down in perfumery for me since I really got into it about two years ago. They’ll end up pulling this I think, big flop.

I don't want to sound harsh but Initio is a too much playful brand. If they were to produce chess boards, all the figures would be Disney based. I cannot take them seriously.

My experience with Oud for Happiness is that it has all-year potential the same way Layton and Ani do. I think this is the best niche release for the year actually, slightly ahead of Material from Amouage and Decas from Xerjoff. I honestly think it's getting a bad rep because it's nothing like Oud for Greatness. The scent itself is enjoyably sweet, but the oudiness (if that's a word) is not even slightly present. Worthy of addition is that I'm not a chemist or anything, I just am offering a general impression of the scent and the profile.
