Rich in terpenoids, oud boasts natural sedative and anti-anxiety powers, helping to rebalance your energy levels while relaxing both the body and mind.

It's joy-enhancing but still undeniably classy, bold, and a little bit sexy. And we couldn't possibly talk about an Initio fragrance without mentioning the bottle! Tying into the Black Project collection similar to Oud for Greatness, Oud For Happiness' bottle is gorgeously elaborate and undeniably refined. It reminds us of an ancient coffret bursting with long-lost artefacts and precious gemstones. Its matte black bottle contrasts with the glistening golds and swirling emeralds that adorn its front. Even the unboxing experience feels luxurious as you unveil layer upon layer to finally reveal the fragrance, sitting on a bed of midnight-black crushed velvet.   The Best Way To Use It: Always apply the fragrance to your pulse points, namely your neck and wrists. Initio always advise not to rub a fragrance in; instead, pat it in to let the molecules settle.
