Scent Profile: Boozy, Spicy, and Warm Oriental
Initio Parfums Prives focuses on what they term "olfactory masterpieces," and Side Effect is a perfect example. It expertly fuses rich gourmand notes with a spicy, woody heart, creating a decadent, enveloping aroma that draws attention.
- Key Notes: Rum, Tobacco, Vanilla, Cinnamon
- Supporting Accords: Saffron, Sandalwood, Hedione
The opening delivers an instant, bold warmth characterized by a boozy Rum accord and the sharp, comforting spice of Cinnamon. This combination is vibrant and immediate, setting a confident tone from the very first application. The transition is seamless, quickly introducing the complex heart.
The heart notes introduce the sophisticated, smoky warmth of Tobacco, lending a subtle dry earthiness that prevents the scent from becoming overly sweet. A touch of precious Saffron adds a leathery, slightly metallic undertone that complements the depth of the Tobacco. This rich, spiced core is where the fragrance’s magnetic projection truly takes hold.
The dry down is centered on the creamy, woody facets of Vanilla, fused with warm Sandalwood. The inclusion of Hedione is rumored to enhance the overall allure of the composition, contributing to the scent's reputation for strong attraction. This base ensures the longevity of the Eau De Parfum extends well into the night.
