Oud For Happiness

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Initio Oud For Happiness

Oud For Happiness is a warm, spicy, uplifting oud scent, and our version keeps that feel, built around the same notes with real depth and staying power.

The Story Behind the Scent

Initio built Oud For Happiness as a warmer, more uplifting oud, pairing fresh bergamot and ginger with a smooth oud and warm woods for an easy, feel good character.

Our interpretation follows that character, keeping the balance of the original and building it at a high perfume oil concentration so it lasts on skin.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a niche eau de parfum sold at high pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a warm, spicy, uplifting oud scent and wants a niche style fragrance without the high price.
