Details on INITIO Parfums Privés Side Effect

Side Effect grabs you from the first spray. It's a scent that sparks desire and excitement. Imagine a captivating mix of Tobacco, Vanilla, Rum, and Cinnamon. Hedione adds an extra touch of magic. This boozy and woody fragrance also has hints of leather from the Vanilla Bean. It gives you a magnetic, almost otherworldly charm. Perfect for anyone, made in France.

How does INITIO Parfums Privés Side Effect smell?

Side Effect starts with a warm, inviting blend of sweet Rum and spicy Cinnamon. Soon, rich Tobacco and a touch of exotic Saffron emerge. The heart is a smooth dance of creamy Vanilla and airy Hedione. It all settles on a comforting base of Sandalwood, creating a boozy, spicy, and subtly woody aroma.

Fall in the best way

Sweet and spicy like a fresh cup of spiced hot apple cider with extra cinnamon and a shot of rum chilling by some fall trees.

Sweet oriental gourmand dream

The special feature of this fragrance is saffron, which gives it an oriental-spicy character. Added to this are sweet vanilla, cinnamon, and rum, which turn it into a gourmand scent and lend it a warm, seductive aura. The base consists of sandalwood and smooth tobacco, which give it character and depth. Hedione adds floral accents. Overall, a great, warm, cozy, and seductive fragrance for the cold season.

Synthetic

The fragrance is very subtle, I can’t smell anything but synthetic notes.
