Initio Parfums Prives has once again pushed the boundaries of fragrance innovation with their latest release, Oud for Greatness NEO. Known for their dedication to creating functional fragrances that go beyond the olfactory experience, Initio has positioned themselves at the forefront of the perfume industry, blending cutting-edge science with spiritual practices.

According to a recent article in Forbes, Initio uses the chemical compound Hedione to stimulate the limbic system, creating a sense of desire for both the wearer and those around them. This is not just about smelling good; it’s about tapping into the powerful scent-mind connection to elicit emotional and physiological responses.

Beyond Scent: The Power of Fragrance

Initio’s approach to perfumery is unique. They use a combination of modern scientific advancements and ancient spiritual practices. Ingredients like **Palo Santo** and **White Sage** are employed for their cleansing properties, enhancing the overall experience of their fragrances.

The new Oud for Greatness NEO, priced at $430 for 90ml, is a luxurious addition to their Black & Gold Collection. This fragrance features:

- Oud: Acts as a stimulant for mental and psychic functions.
- Fir Balsam: Boosts confidence and determination.
- Bergamot: Uplifts mood and reduces anxiety.
- Orpur® Lavender: Calms and relieves stress.

Functional Fragrances: More Than Just a Scent

Initio is one of the few fragrance houses focusing on functional fragrances. Each scent is designed to do more than smell pleasant; it aims to induce specific emotional and chemical reactions in the body. For example, their **Carnal Line** focuses on pleasure and sexuality, using Hedione to heighten libido through reactions in the frontal cortex and limbic system.

While Narcotic Delight is a prime example of this with its intoxicating Hedione overdose, NEO continues this tradition with a sophisticated blend that stimulates and calms, offering a full-spectrum sensory experience.

Long Story Short

With Oud for Greatness NEO, Initio has once again demonstrated their commitment to excellence and innovation. By combining the latest scientific research with timeless spiritual practices, they create fragrances that are truly transformative.
