A bigger bottle. A fifteenth of the price.

Initio Oud for Greatness is the oud people save up for. Saffron, lavender and a dark, smoky agarwood, and £320 for 90ml on Initio’s own UK site. That price is the reason you’re on this page.

Bade’e Al Oud Oud for Glory launched in 2020 as the first release in Lattafa’s Bade’e Al Oud line, and it is still the one most people mean when they say the name. Bade’e (بديع) roughly means wondrous or marvellous in Arabic — so the collection reads as “the wonder of oud”.

Oud for Glory is built from the same materials Initio lists for Oud for Greatness: saffron, nutmeg, lavender, agarwood, patchouli and musk. It is close in character, not an exact copy. The opening is sharper and the finish a little less polished than the Initio.

Whether that trade-off is worth nearly £300 is your call, and we’ll set out both sides below. If you want the Oud for Greatness idea in a full 100ml bottle, this is the one the whole oud community points to.

Eight listings across three tiers — oud and patchouli appear in both the heart and the base, which is why the dry-down feels so dense.

Often compared with Initio Oud for Greatness same saffron-lavender-oud core. Authentic Lattafa Bade’e Al Oud Oud for Glory 100ml Eau de Parfum, held in the UK with free tracked delivery.
