Side Effect by Initio, eau de parfum

The story of Side Effect

Side Effect by Initio Parfums Privés is an oriental, spicy eau de parfum with a bewitching temperament. Rum opens the composition on an intoxicating, heady note.

The heart blends tobacco, cinnamon, saffron and hedione in a spicy warmth, before a base of vanilla and sandalwood that signs a sensual, addictive sillage. Available in 50 and 90 ml.
