Finally! The similarities and dissimilarities dissected of these two excellent fragrances. I tried both and prefer Oud for Greatness. Splitting hairs with Haltane being 90% similar to OFG. Excellent review.
Wearing Oud For Greatness all day today and just blown away. Lasted really well on the skin from around 9am to 8pm so far. Really great on the dry down. Spicy, warm, masculine, sweet, good projection, but not overpowering. A big winner.
I have samples of both of them. Both are amazing! Wore Haltane at a party last friday. Worked out just fine ☺️. I think I will get a bottle of Haltane. And Side Effect. Great video 👍
I recommend spraying on the skin, if possible, for comparison videos. I was not a fan of Haltane on paper, but the dry down on skin hits different. Just a suggestion and I really enjoy your channel a lot. Helping gentlemen smell better one spray at a time.
Hi Raymond! I actually wear my fragrances 😊 So I always have experience of a scent both in regards to how it comes across on paper and more so on skin. Some scents I've worn for years before a video (like initios oud for greatness in this comparison), and others for a few weeks (like haltane in this comparison.) For fragrances I might have recently bought, I do try to wear them exclusively for a few days or weeks before doing a video so I know it properly 😊 Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you find my channel helpful 🙏😊
@@rottenrebels not yet. I ordered 3 samples and the new Tom Ford extreme parfum is gorgeous.. something similar from my past in the dry down, I love it will buy today ❤️
I just bought Haltane yesterday . What clinched it for me is when I was walking around with multiple fragrances a lady In another perfume store said are you wearing Holtane so I guess it was better on my skin . . In ouds I quite like satin mood by mfk
Thanks for sharing! Haltane is 👌 I liked it a lot right from the start but it's growing on me every time I spray it on.. So easy to wear and smells great 🤩
Curious about both of them, but going to get some Initio samples first (including Side Effect as well). 🙂 PS: Btw, at the end of the day they're the same company (i.e. PdM & Initio), namely the Julien Sprecher Group of Companies. 😎
Oud for Greatness is one of my favorite. I’m pretty sure Haltane will grow on me. PDM always have a way of growing on you. I initially didn’t like Kalan, but know it is one of my favorite.
Another vote for Initio Oud For Greatness! Thanks for sharing! 🙏😊 Interesting about Kalan! Exactly the same thing happened to me, even though I liked it, just didnt love it from the start. Both OFG and Haltane are wicked 😁
I got a 10 ml decant of Kalan and I couldn’t stand it the first time I used it. However, I feel it is a very powerful projector so I am experimenting on how many sprays. I think I over sprayed it initially.
We included some things at the end, with usage, when to use them, who should by them etc.. You think we should keep them or go back to just comparing them and choosing our favorite?
PDM.. There is no citrus in Haltane. its divine. Wore it in Thailand smelled amazing in the heat. But at home its autmn winter wear. As i have extensive summer fragrance collection.
Layton is a playboy scent in a white shirt and jeans, but definitely not Haltane. Haltane is in the same group as Oud for Grateness. An elegant scent. No jokes. A serious one.
The answer is in this video: ua-cam.com/video/ZQkMW5eTzPw/v-deo.html 😉 And the one I'd choose between the two is the first one 🙌 Naxos is a GREAT scent though.
Hi ROTT! thanks for the video. Your great. So I’ve recently purchased Xerjoff more than words’s, Naxos, PDM Layton, ombre leather, Prada, intense, and my go to has always been Sauvage elixir for 2 years since it came out but I’m looking to add Haltane to my rotation bc I do like oud and I like sweetness. Does Haltane last and project? Also are colonge bottles supposed to sit and settle before using them? When I received my Naxos bottle I opened it up and couldn’t smell a thing after 3-4 sprays. Now I can smell it. Also the fresh batch checker says it’s almost 10 months old. Should I be concerned? Ty. Josh.
@@LightsAcapella I bought Just a sample and couldn’t justify the cost of a bigger bottle. Smelled good but the performance wasn’t there for me. Did you get a bottle?
@@joshuadramis6559 Just blind bought it because of a 30% discount so haven't tested it yet. People say performance is supposed to be good. Btw, from what I've heard you need to open and spray the fragrance at least once to let air inside for it to start macerating. This supposedly doesn't work with all frags tho, but I did notice my Dior Homme Intense has gotten stronger.
unrelated but i’m debating between getting moschino toy boy or versace dylan blue . which one do you think i should get?🤔 i’m 18 and just starting my collection .thanksss
Hi! All of this is very subjective so yeah... I think Toy Boy is a cool creation from Moschino and it's a very spicy and peppery floral with a focus on rose. I say cool, because I do find it original and different. It's not however (at least according to me) the easiest to wear and I also feel it's a bit of a mature scent. I do not think it's a "youthful" kind of scent. It's one of the scents I used the least, even though it's a cool scent. Versace Dylan Blue is much easier to wear and smells great. So a BIG + for it being more versatile. But it is most likely a scent that a lot of other people are wearing as well. So.. Go for Toy boy if you love that spicy, peppery floral and want something that most likely not a lot of other people are wearing. Go for Dylan Blue if you want something that is more versatile and something more people are used to. In the end.. Like I always say: you're the one that's going to be wearing it so go with the one you love the most 😊
Thanks for the suggestion! I just have not gotten around to buying them yet. But I do look forward to buying some Lattafa soon and also to compare them against the originals to see if they are good or not 😊
I haven’t tried Haltane but I love Oud for Greatness. There is a lattafa clone called oud for glory and it’s very dang close and only 25-35 bucks. It’s a little more medicinal. There’s also one by Afnan called supremacy in oud and it’s not as close of a clone but very similar scent but sweeter. I prefer Afnan Supremacy 40-45 bucks) in oud and it’s better quality than oud for greatness.
@@pauljudah1235 I don’t have much of a problem but supremacy in oud does last longer. But remember keep in mind how much you paid for it Vs the real deal
Hi! I think it's so well-blended and even though it's sweet, it's not too deep, cloying or anything like that and the oud is a very smooth, mass appealing and easy to like kind of oud.. So even though it's a sweet oud, it's one I feel is quite versatile in that you can use it to pretty much any occasion. Special occasions, date nights, and going out is a given, but I think most people will like the scent in most situations. Most people who get a whiff of it feels its a fantastic scent.. But like always, it's so subjective. I think it works though. 😊 You tried it? Like it?
OFG is far more charismatic and simply smells better! Haltane lacks character and feels flat and boring, where OFG is a kaleidoscope of textures and emotions. I bought Haltane as soon as it was released as I'm a PDM fan, but they definitely dropped the ball here.
OFG is for the man who walks in the room with the best looking woman already eyeing him down! HALTANE is for the man chasing that woman. OFG wears me, I don’t ever attempt to wear it. Alpha Men Only Club 🔥👃
Now if you want to drive your audience crazy, try comparing Oud for Greatness with an outstanding clone by Lataffa called “Bade’e Al Oud” (aka Oud for Glory). At 1/15th the price of the original it is hard to ignore.
Unfortunately the oud accord used in Oud for Greatness makes the fragrance smell like toilet disinfectant to me. 🤦♂️ Luckily I have many other oud fragrances (both using artificial oud accord and using natural oud) that don't have that effect on my nose. I agree with the other commenter that you should do a clone comparison video against Lattafa Oud for Glory. It's not 100% similar, but there is a high level of similarity between the two IMHO.
@@CJ-rv1lu scent perception is highly individual and thus fragrances smell like different things to different people. Go to Fragrantica and look at user reviews of Oud for Greatness and you'll see varying descriptions saying it smells like bug spray, Dettol (disinfectant/antiseptic), Baccarat Rouge 540, Sauvage Elixir, and many other things. What's really ridiculous is your comment.
Like blind sniffing duel or one at a time? Sandra asked me to help her out with one on her channel (with men's fragrances) so I know she's planning a blind sniff 😊
Oud for greatness is a nuclear weapon🤣🤣🤣people notice me when I walk in to the gym,class,train or talking a walk in winter I blend mine with Nanban and people gets confused and can’t really get a hold of what I’m wearing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Out For Greatness vs Haltane.. Which is YOUR favorite? Comment and like the video, thank you 😊🙏
Haltane for me is very addictive. I love it!
A vote for PDM Haltane! Thanks for sharing 😊👍
@@rottenrebels Me too and My wife too❗
Never tried them,but im sure they are both great if you guys say so. God bless guys.

Good stuff! Glad you seem to like Haltane so much! I think it's an awesome scent. Definitely one I'm currently using a lot 🤩
Very honest review.. thank you so much... Of course oud for greatness

I own Initio OFG.. and jus picked up a sample of Haltane.. the dry down on Haltane is very OFG. Touch smoother in fact!
Very similar!

Good choice! I truly love OFG. Epic 👌
Top compliment getter in one day????? You must have no other fragrances! 😂😂😂😂😂 people in the comments are HILARIOUS!!! Jesus Christ man SMH!
Both are great
Warm weather but with low humidity.
On a paper strip I think OfG stays much longer, and somehow the late drydown is somewhat more appealing. What do you think about thw performance?
Oud for greatness is no doubt more unique but I find haltane more versatile, wearable, masculine and mass appealling.
One vote for Haltane here❗
Hi Aaron! 👋 Thanks for sharing! 🙏
OUD for greatness is epic,those that have sniffing issues compares it to disinfectants and stuffs like that but the projection speaks for it.
Thanks for sharing!! Oud for greatness is indeed EPIC. One of my fragrances for life 🤩
Both of them are very nice 👍🏼
I think so too!
Not a huge fan of Oud, I find that Haltane is more low key with oud and more spicy. I prefer Haltane, but they’re both solid.
Oud for Greatness is a well loved fragrance.
Oud for greatness is amazing 🤩 Is it your favorite out of the two?

Kalan is King. Shhhhhhh
Halthane for me😊
Rotten Rebel & Sandra would you say that Oud for Greatness is the best crowd pleasing oud fragrance on the market today ?
What could I layer haltane with yo give it a feminine sweet note please ? Ive got pegasus and herod too.
Which one performs better?
"Oud for Greatness" is great 👍
👌
Initio and PDM are related houses, same people, different name = new money... :)
Thanks for sharing! 🙌 You tried them both? Like one more than the other?
As a woman (if it matters)... I enjoy Haltane more.
I want haltane for me. 😏😍
I appreciate the feedback! It might just be one of the more wearable oud perfumes for women as well 😁👍 Glad you seem to enjoy it a lot! 🙌
My wife also prefers Haltane and so do I...
@@perseo828 that's awesome! I'm feeling a little relieved by your comment because I was really starting to feel like a minority in that aspect. 😅

Haltane reminds me of Tom Ford Hombre Leather
Interesting! What in Haltane makes you think of Omre Leather?
Do you think Oud For Greatness is blind buy worthy? I tried Haltane. I liked it but didn't love it. I recently bought Layton Exclusif and love it.
