Initio Carnal Blends: pure sensuality boosted by hedione
The most sensual line of the maison
Carnal Blends is the sensual collection of Initio Parfums Privés, maison founded in 2015. Eight fragrances enriched with hedione, a molecule discovered by Firmenich reputed to evoke desire and amplify carnal perception. The most assumed line of Initio's neuro-perfumery, intended for those who seek a sensual signature trail and an olfactive presence amplified by molecular formulation.
The eight creations of Carnal Blends
Carnal Blends brings together Side Effect, Atomic Rose, Musk Therapy, Paragon, Frequency, Magnetic Blend 7, Addictive Vibration and More Than Words — eight compositions including absolute icons of contemporary niche (Side Effect, Musk Therapy).
Side Effect, the cult of contemporary niche
Side Effect deserves a special mention: a cult perfume of contemporary niche, its accord of vanilla, tobacco, rum, ambroxan has installed itself among the most worn signatures of the last decade. A perfect example of the maison's neuro-perfumery — molecular formulation amplifies the addictive trail, creates instantly recognisable presence, transforms a gourmand into an emotional experience. One of the contemporary niche perfumes that have most marked olfactive culture in recent years.
Who is Carnal Blends for, and when to wear it?
Carnal Blends speaks to lovers of sensual perfumery, who seek assumed trails and assumed olfactive presence. Creations sit in the oriental, ambery, musky and gourmand families, and shine year-round. If you enjoy Carnal Blends, you will also want to explore the Hedonist Collection, Tiziana Terenzi and the BDK Parisienne Collection — three other contemporary sensual signatures at Soleil d'Or.
