The original Oud For Greatness was a genuine cult classic- robustly sweet and spicy, and commandingly powerful, it instantly became an all-timer for the kind of fragrance fan that's always on the hunt for something that truly offers "beastly" performance. But sometimes that level of intensity isn't quite right for the moment. Introducing Oud For Greatness NEO, a refined olfactive experience that maintains the potent sensuality of the original, but with a refreshing new twist that makes it perfect for all the times when Greatness doesn't need to be quite so loud.
First, a reassurance- this is very much still Oud For Greatness, with the multifaceted, saffron-spiked oud accord at the core of the original experience still front and center here. Dark, spicy, sweet, and smoky, NEO still has more than a full dose of this beguilingly precious material. But now, it shares the spotlight with several carefully chosen featured ingredients that transform its profile, delivering a more uplifting and energetic kind of strength. First, NEO sparkles with an overdose of exquisite natural bergamot, a sunshine-bright citrus that adds vibrancy and instant good cheer. In the heart, the lavender note from the original is greatly enhanced, delivering a clean and calming smoothness that also evokes the freshness of classic gentlemen's fragrances. And finally, a green and woodsy balsam fir that adds a naturalistic, outdoorsy element that works as a brilliant balance to the richness of the oud accord. When you're looking for luxurious opulence, the original Oud For Greatness will always be there. But for the times when you don't need to fill the room, but still want to turn heads, NEO is a must have.
