Side Effect

SIDE EFFECT by Initio Parfums Privés, an oriental, spicy eau de parfum, sends a shiver through the body from the very first breath: a raw, provocative alchemy where desire awakens and lifts the veil on the unspeakable.

Oriental & spicy

At the top, raspberry and rum open on a liqueur-like, fruity burst. The heart blazes with cinnamon, saffron and tobacco, amplified by hedione that heightens the sensation. In the base, leather, sandalwood, cedar and vanilla weave a leathery, animalic, woody trail that lingers on the skin.

Expert tip

A fragrance with character, Side Effect comes into its own after dark and through the cooler seasons. Two sprays on the pulse points are enough to set a magnetic presence that lasts all evening. To intensify its ambery, sweet facet, layer it over a vanilla note.
