Reports disagree about the extent or effects of changes to Oud for Greatness Eau de Parfum.

Wearers disagree on changes in current Oud for Greatness. House and retailer ingredient lists differ by BHT, without a dated formula identifier. Community alcohol-percentage comparisons lack a confirmed timeline, and a reported brand reply about another fragrance cannot establish this one's formula history.

Every fragrance's reformulation verdict, in one list: Reformulation watch.

A batch code alone does not tell you which formula is in a bottle.

To check a particular bottle, ask Initio Parfums Privés or the retailer about its batch code. Owners' side-by-side comparisons are not confirmation from the house.
