Oud for Grace by Initio Parfums Privés
Launch Year: 2026
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Fragrance Profile:
The newest addition to Initio's celebrated Black Gold Project collection, and the most approachable and sweetly elegant interpretation of oud the house has produced. Where Oud for Greatness leads with raw power and Oud for Happiness adds warmth and sensuality, Oud for Grace takes a softer, more refined approach — oud wrapped in praline and vanilla, anchored in a rich multi-wood base. Bergamot opens with a bright, clean and gently citrusy clarity that sets a luminous tone before the heart unfolds. Praline and Black Pepper build a warm, slightly spiced and quietly gourmand heart where sweetness and edge balance each other with precision. Vanilla, Cedarwood, Oud, Sandalwood and Guaiac Wood close with a deep, smoky and richly textured woody base that carries the entire composition with real authority and staying power.
Performance:
Above-average longevity with a warm, enveloping projection consistent with the Initio house standard. The oud-sandalwood-vanilla base carries powerfully through the day, deepening and softening in equal measure as the composition evolves on skin.
Ideal For:
Autumn and winter, and evening or special occasions. A genuinely unisex oriental woody for those who want oud presented with sweetness, refinement and modern elegance rather than raw intensity — the most accessible and immediately likeable entry in the Initio oud family, and a natural next step for fans of Oud for Greatness seeking something warmer and more polished.
