Yes! As a perfume lover, you always learn something new! During my perfume journey and my constant search for new scent notes, I came across this fragrance through a perfume subscription that I had for about a year. Aphrodisiac wow what a name .. it piqued my curiosity and the description sounded inviting! When testing, I encountered this somehow familiar scent note... somehow piercing?! It had to be the musk combined with beaver musk... of course, I immediately dove into research about what beaver musk is! Humans! What we do is really crazy... but that should be a different topic ... I immediately sniffed Alaia Blanche! Bullseye! For me, it has the same unmistakable vibe! However, with Alaia Blanche, it says "animalic note"... which reminds me of a perfumed fur coat... However, Initio is not as powdery. I'm not really into fur... That's why I stuck with the sample from the subscription!
For me, it's one of the best vanilla scents. I don't smell any animal notes. I don't find it that sweet and cozy, though... Now we have three different perceptions :)
I don't find it "animalic" at all, more like a soft, beautiful vanilla cloud without leather, so there's no similarity to Alaia Blanche. There's nothing sharp about this scent either. Are you sure you tested it? Your description doesn't sound like Absolute Aphrodisiac at all... I have both in my collection.
