Inspired By OUD FOR GREATNESS - INITIO (Mens 554)

I bought today one of these from Fountain Gate. I tried the scent in the store on my right shoulder, liked & bought it.
Sprayed on my left shoulder the one that I bought: much weaker different smell.
After a few hours the smell on the left side almost totally disappeared, but my right one still have the scent. Conclusion: they trick you with a stronger-closer to the original product in the store and give you a weaker one.
I can prove this & I have no interest in what I say here other than sounding the alarm on this cheating store

Not close to original

I must have had a bad batch compared to the other reviews as mine had a really nice strong smell that didn’t last at all.
Really disappointed with having to spray a quarter of the bottle to get 30 mins smell.
Wouldn’t recommend.

Once again, tried the real deal vs Palermo
Yeah slight difference lasted on my skin for 5hours plus

For $35 can’t go wrong

This fragrance is not for everybody, must love Oud and Saffron, this reminds me a little bit of BR540 but definitely more masculine. I don't know how Palermo managed to create a version that lasts so well. ( I know the original is a beast.) This one is extremely long lasting and projects decent. Definitely for fall and winter. Considering the price tag of the real thing this is a no brainer.
