ADK LaBs “Oud for Greatness” by Initio Parfums Privé is a fragrance that combines various notes to create a unique olfactory experience. Here’s a breakdown of the notes and their characteristics:

• Top notes: Saffron, Nutmeg, and Lavender. These notes are usually responsible for the initial impression of the fragrance. Saffron adds a warm, spicy, and exotic touch, while nutmeg brings a slightly sweet and aromatic quality. Lavender offers a fresh, herbal, and floral aspect to the composition.
• Middle note: Agarwood (Oud). Agarwood, also known as Oud, is a highly valued and sought-after resinous wood that is widely used in perfumery. It possesses a distinctive and intense scent that is often described as woody, smoky, animalic, and complex. Oud brings depth, richness, and a touch of sensuality to the fragrance.
• Base notes: Patchouli and Musk. Base notes are the foundation of the fragrance and provide longevity and depth. Patchouli is known for its earthy, woody, and slightly sweet aroma, adding a sense of grounding and warmth.

Application Steps

We recommend applying our oils on these pulse points after a nice, warm shower for maximum effect.

1. Wrists:  A classic spot. Your arms are constantly moving which creates a sense of movement in your fragrance.
2. Behind Ears / Neck:  Behind the ears allows the oil to create a sense of diffusion when you’re on the move.
3. Collar Bones:  A great spot to create a sense of intimacy.
4. Inner Elbows: Serves to slightly obscure the smell in the bends of the arms – perfect for longer-lasting diffusion. A great pulse point for work if you have to wash your hands frequently.
5. Behind Knees:  Will allow the scent to rise throughout the day.  The backs of the knees are warmer and softer, and therefore more likely to project the scent. The area behind the knees are perfect for summer, emitting your fragrance of choice with every crossing and uncrossing of legs.

Once you’ve decided on which pulse points to use just remove the cap, invert the bottle, and rub it gently back and forth on your skin.
