The Scoop
The concept of “sacred geometry, ” the inspiration behind Oud For Greatness, is that recurring symbols and motifs- including the sacred scent of oud- are so powerful and holy that they are imbued with these hidden connections to the world at large, transcending the material plane to align those who smell it with the vibrations of the universe. In other words, experiencing the true scent of oud is a tonic for physical, emotional, and spiritual health. With Oud For Greatness, Initio taps into that hidden source of power, delivering a vibrant, sensual, richly spicy fragrance deeply imbued with oud from beginning to end. It’s a highly concentrated blend of pure, natural agarwood oil and natural oud wood, a rich accord that melds the dark, spicy, sweet, and smoky characteristics of this precious substance into an impossibly complex elixir, both energetic and contemplative, narcotic and seductive. An additional burst of savory spice comes by way of a rich blend of saffron and nutmeg, while bright lavender pushes it towards the sexy and masculine- though make no mistake, this scent is devastatingly sexy on men and women alike. While it might seem inexact to say that a fragrance offers something for everyone, we don’t know how else to describe Oud For Greatness- we suppose a perfume this in tune with the hidden patterns of the world ought to smell this downright incredible.

Woody/Oud (30% concentration)
THE STORY: Solah Shringar is a 16 stage ritual to prepare royal women for public appearance. Indian royalty were considered somewhere between man and God and this ritual adornment with perfumes and jewels created something of a super-human presence. The name itself comes from temple designs and decorations and the image of the women, once decorated, as a perfect, carved goddess. A unique Oud was selected from the South of India, one of the highest quality Oud oils, it is both angular and edgy.
THE FRAGRANCE: The unique Oud from the South of India, angular and sweetly edgy, dictates this heavenly scent. The top note blends beautifully with cedar wood and guaiac. At the base, a pure patchouli and sunbaked vetivert add depth and warmth polished off by a smooth, temperate musk. Divine.
Spice D’Arno by Celine Barel
“Comforting and soothing spices flowing with the rhythm of the Arno river.”
Soothing, flowing, comforting
Spice D’Arno is a rhythmical composition which moves like the flow of the river for which it is named. Opening with the invigorating tones of bergamot, lemon and pink pepper, Spice D’Arno evokes the lively energy of a new adventure about to begin. The scent gently meanders its way into a sophisticated heart bursting with thyme and cistus, softened with a comforting and soothing bran absolute. The cistus pays homage to the tenacity of the Roman adventurers, adding a floral, sweet and woody tone to the warmth of bran and the leathery savoury aspect of thyme.
In the base of Spice D’Arno a ribbon of sweetness comes in the form of excitingly resinous vanilla which is warm and embracing. This is strengthened and supported by a leathery feel. A discrete yet mighty oud facet completes the composition, lending power and weight to the fragrance and ensuring the lasting power to stay the course.
INSPIRATION
The Arno river was one of Italy’s most important waterways in Roman times. The flow of the river brought with it new ideas as well as trade, goods and movement of the population. In Spice D’Arno we celebrate the new horizons that the Romans pioneered and the trade routes they established which allowed them to move goods and ideas across the Empire. Some of the commodities the Romans transported included spices, leathers and woods, all of which can be found in this soothing composition which flows with the eternal energy of this mighty river.
Caspian Cherry by Kevin Mathys
“A truly indulgent cherry confection of Bacchanalian intensity, served on a silver platter.”
Plush, extravagant, indulgent
Caspian Cherry is an epicurean delight, an extravagant and tantalising fragrance that perfectly captures the lavish scent of cherries, set against an elegant gourmand backdrop.
Opening with the tempting and playful sweetness of velvety almond liqueur and juicy black cherries, tempered with bittersweet dark chocolate. As the fragrance develops, the indulgence continues through a delicately spiced honey note, sprinkled with plush coconut. This gourmand richness is amplified and contrasted by a shot of coffee and the gentle warmth of vetiver. Powdery tonka extends the cherry impression throughout the scent. Creamy sandalwood and silky-smooth white chocolate create a sumptuously decadent drydown.
The Caspian Sea brought treasures of all kinds to the Romans through a network of trade routes that extended in reach far beyond their lands and Anatolia. Caspian Cherry is a celebration of the sweet cherries the Romans first encountered in the region surrounding the Caspian Sea. Inspired by these new delicacies and tastes that would delight guests at Roman feasts, Caspian Cherry is a modern reimagining of the honeyed cakes and fruit tarts that Romans enjoyed at their prestigious Bacchanalian parties.

A bountiful harvest of exquisite and honeyed Medjool dates, with the golden warmth of the oasis.
Moroccan Medjool by Marco Genovese
“A bountiful harvest of exquisite and honeyed Medjool dates, with the golden warmth of the oasis.”
Tempting, voluptuous, golden
Moroccan Medjool is a sumptuous fruity amber that combines the caramel sweetness of dates with the golden warmth of the desert.
The scent opens with bright and fruity notes, with a dewy citrus freshness setting a scene of sunrise over the oasis. A tempting platter of dates is surrounded by a profusion of rose and jasmine petals, the floral emblems of Morocco. The mineral warmth of cashmeran and ambergris evoke the arid heat of the desert air, providing a counterpoint to candied notes of vanilla and caramel – which carry the honeyed character of dates long into the rich amber base.

A Sensual Galaxy
An Orbit of Desire
A fragrance that opens with a cosmic pulse, a burst of ripe fruit and solar light. Quickly, the orbit shifts. Tuberose and white florals bloom with radiant sensuality, softened by the creamy warmth of coconut.
The scent doesn’t rise — it draws you in. At its heart, Cosmology is tactile. Musky powder and jasmine linger like second skin. Solar notes wrap it in intimacy, not light. This is where desire turns quiet, deeper, felt more than smelled. It clings in waves, like memory, like heat that doesn’t leave.
Cosmology isn’t for the agreeable. It’s for the ones who fall hard, love big, and leave a trace. It doesn’t sit politely in the background — it surrounds. Shapes. Seduces. A scent that reflects complexity, that dares to hold contrast. If it feels like it’s seeing right through you… it is.
A Sensuous Embrace
The Spark of the Chase
It opens with energy! Bergamot and mandarin slice through the air like a new set of keys in your palm. Pineapple rides the top, juicy and mischievous, while saffron burns underneath, opulent and ancient, like something smuggled out of a far-off bazaar. This isn’t a gentle start. It’s an ignition!
The Heart of the Journey
Then, leather. Not the new-car cliché, but something richer, worn-in, lived, craved. It smells like heat from a closed door and skin that’s been out too long in the sun. Coconut rounds it, smooth and nostalgic. Jasmine hovers, just barely. You’re not sure if it’s still part of the scent or a ghost of something you left behind.
Timeless Symphony
A Symphony of Rose & Oud
Beyond the known elements, earth, water, fire, and air…There exists a rare force, a perfect harmony that binds them all together. Quinta Essentia is the embodiment of this concept in fragrance, where rose and oud, two of the most revered ingredients in perfumery, converge in an opulent, timeless masterpiece. This scent is a grand orchestration of contrasts. The delicate elegance of rose against the commanding depth of oud, softened by warm resins and spices.
The fairwell…
As the alchemy unfolds, something sacred emerges. Jasmine glows with nocturnal sweetness, floating just above the ground. Cypriol roots it — deep, resinous, ancient. Patchouli moves like velvet in the shadows. And the rose? Still there ,but richer now, darker, transformed. This is where the magic happens, the fragrance opens, evolves, reveals. Not just beauty, but depth. Not just scent, but power.
Poetry On Skin
The Language of Temptation
In the flickering glow of candlelight, where shadows dance and words linger unspoken, Sin Poetry is written in the spaces between. Between longing and surrender, between silence and confession. It is a fragrance that wraps around the wearer like a whispered secret, intoxicating yet elusive. Poetry in cashmere verses.
The First Stanza
Cardamom: Known as “the queen of spices,” cardamom’s complexity makes it one of the most precious ingredients in perfumery. In Sin Poetry, cardamom ignites the fragrance with its warm, aromatic spice, weaving an air of intrigue and anticipation. Its presence lingers, like a quiet confession waiting to be spoken, teasing the senses with its bold yet refined allure.
The Rhyme of Shadows
Violet: A symbol of elegance and mystery, violet blooms softly at the heart of Sin Poetry, its powdery sweetness both fragile and captivating. Its scent is delicate, like a fleeting memory, yet it leaves an indelible mark. Violet’s gentle allure bridges the gap between light and shadow, adding an air of quiet sophistication to this poetic fragrance.
Beyond The Horizon
The Space Between Dreams
In the shimmering heat of a golden desert, the line between reality and illusion blurs. Mirage is a fragrance that captures this fleeting beauty—a vision suspended between wakefulness and dreams. Each note is a whisper, a fleeting glimpse of something extraordinary, drawing you deeper into its mystery.
The Spark of Illusion
With its radiant fruits, soft florals, and alluring musks, Mirage is a composition of contrasts, where light and shadow converge. It invites you to step into the unknown, to chase the dream, and to let its enigmatic presence linger long after the moment fades.
