Initio Side Effect - EDP (90ml)

Initio Side Effect
Eau de Parfum (90ml)

Side Effect is the most iconic fragrance from Initio’s The Carnal Blends collection. Launched in 2016, it is built on a daring premise: using high-quality ingredients that are scientifically designed to stir the senses and bypass the rational mind. It is a thick, boozy, and electric "Amber Woody" fragrance that has become a cult favorite in the niche world for its magnetic and intoxicating character.

Fragrance Profile
This scent is famous for its masterful blending; rather than distinct top or base notes, it operates as a harmonious, linear "vibration" of four main pillars.

Key Notes: Rum, Vanilla, Tobacco, and Cinnamon.

Key Features
The "Boozy" Accord: The Rum note is the star here—it smells rich, aged, and slightly sweet, providing an immediate sense of warmth and luxury.

The Tobacco/Cinnamon Contrast: The tobacco is "blonde" and smooth, lacking any harsh ashiness, while the cinnamon adds a dry, spicy "spark" that keeps the fragrance from becoming too syrupy.

Hedione & Performance: Like many Initio scents, it contains a high concentration of Hedione, a molecule known to stimulate the pleasure centers of the brain. This 90ml EDP is a high-performer, offering "beast-mode" sillage that leaves a deep, mysterious trail.
