Initio Introduces Oud for Grace Perfume, a Contemporary Take on the Power of Oud

Oud takes on a more refined and contemporary character with **OUD FOR GRACE**, the latest fragrance from INITIO’s Black Gold Project. Built around the depth of oud, the new scent explores intensity through balance, pairing the richness of precious woods with luminous citrus, warm gourmand notes and a subtle touch of spice.

The fragrance opens with the crisp brightness of bergamot, creating a fresh and sharp first impression before moving into a deeper heart where oud and sandalwood meet with cedarwood and guaiac wood. Together, the woods give the composition its textured, enveloping character while keeping the signature of oud at the center.

Adding another dimension to the scent, vanilla and praline introduce a soft warmth rather than an overt sweetness. A touch of black pepper brings a subtle contrast, adding spice and keeping the composition dynamic. The result is a woody, ambery and spicy fragrance that balances depth with a lighter, more polished finish.

Part of the Black Gold Project, OUD FOR GRACE continues INITIO’s exploration of oud as one of perfumery’s most distinctive and powerful materials. The collection takes inspiration from the symbolism of oud, combining its rich heritage with a more modern approach to fragrance composition.

The bottle also carries the visual language of the collection. Its signature golden emblem draws inspiration from the tree of life, representing alignment, structure and elevation. At its center, a radiant five-pointed star symbolizes five forces: Life, Presence, Intuition, Will and Elevation — reinforcing the idea of fragrance as an expression of inner strength.
