Your turn
The shooting match was always at Whitsun. Of course, I also shot at the target. In the village, you go kaput or in the club. Yes, of course I was a clubman, nice uniform with the green jacket. The knees always blue, because the Tommel hit against it, the college shoes with the black pompons. The drum major in front and we behind.

In the evening then Dans op de Deel in the marquee and in the singer of the band all the girls were in love. Except for Iris, who already had her treasure. And already he comes around the corner again "Hey, it's your turn and get the next round Lüttje Lagen!" That's how it always went, alternating. One year we also had the invasion of the rockers, who beat the whole tent short and small. Every year there were dramas of some kind. Hartmut slaps Heike. My uncle starts a drunken brawl. Erika pees herself again, so full was she.............echt, that was better than cinema. The next morning the obligatory Alka Seltzer and then hangover breakfast. And back on the boards, strap on the drum and march on.

This sweet psychedelic love reminds me of what it smells like to march past the almond booth again and into the fairgrounds. It's not roasted almonds I'm smelling, but it comes pretty close to the booth with the wafers, almonds, candied apples. The scent is sweet, yes. But it's also cozy, gives a feeling of security. I also think I smell a hint of coconut, the vanilla is nice. The march ends with fine sandalwood.

Orient light
After I may call several Initio bottlings my own and I find many of the fragrances very appealing, now finally at least one bottle should find its way into my home. Very quickly I declared both Psychedelic Love and Absolute Aphrodisiac to my favorites. One morning I put on Absolute Aphrodisiac and sprayed Psychedelic Love on a test strip and put it in the car as I drove to work. I sniffed my arm all day and declared Absolute Aphrodisiac my perfume of choice until I arrived back at my car in the evening and this wonderful scent enveloped me. I was immediately clear, Psychedelic Love is the winner.

Why? Hmmm. Now, unfortunately, I do not belong to the perfumos who could now write a treatise on individual fragrance components, their compositions and progressions. I don't even know what individual components smell like. Psychedelic Love is supposed to smell like myrrh. What does myrrh smell like, please? Even if I had myrrh in front of me right now, I might not even be able to sniff anything. My nose isn't very sensitive, unfortunately (maybe I should consider a septum surgery after all...), but it's quite enough to distinguish "I like" or "I don't like". Well, Psychedelic Love has something oriental for me without immediately overloading me with campiness. Let's call the fragrance semi oriental for that reason. I do like some of the Amouage scents, but often, with few exceptions, they are far too heavy for me despite my rather dull nose. The Initio scents are different. I find them sophisticated, although I hardly notice any major scent progressions. But that doesn't make a good fragrance for me anyway. Psychedelic Love is a balanced composition and embodies sensuality with a lighter character for me. I therefore also do not understand at all that some reviewers perceive a heaviness of the fragrance, although I find durability and sillage quite noteworthy.

Initio tries with its fragrance descriptions to explain a character, which is also found in the name again. It is carried out full-bodied attributions, I do not give a damn. I don't like "I want to be like that" advertising phrases. Fragrances appeal to me or not and I have my own associations. Initio, however, succeeds very well in appealing to me with their DNA (much like the Narciso fragrances). Psychedelic Love is an extremely harmonious composition without any major rough edges and embodies feminine sensuality for me. Overall, I find the fragrance more feminine than masculine, whereas I perceived Absolute Aphrodisiac as a balanced unisex fragrance.

To the bottle:
I have already declared myself a small flacon fetishist, I think only about the visual sensations to develop any interest in fragrances (with very few exceptions such as Delina, terrible design). That's where the Initios hit the mark with me. In addition, the Psychedelic Love bottle is haptically at this point the best bottle in my collection. It feels heavy and silky matte in the hand. It is not black, but held in a very dark plum tone. Very noble and qualitatively 1A.

Make your own picture. Now still have to Initio here, wavering between Rehab and Musk Therapy....

Simply Wow!
I love this perfume, it is sensual, soft, warm and seductive. Simply the perfect fragrance for an evening for two. I think it's wonderful that Initio uses Hedion and stimulates the brain regions that make us feel lust and desire. I can't stop sniffing my wrist when I wear this perfume and get a pleasant tummy tingle every time

Lana del Rey?
For reasons I can't quite put my finger on, Psychedelic Love is a scent I see on someone like Lana del Rey. In the music videos - Lana as an art figure is very much involved in the aesthetic elaboration of these - she oscillates between grande dame, wild spirit, an almost childlike damsel and a rocker chick, trying to pay homage to and satirize the American Dream from multiple perspectives at the same time.

Why psychedelic love on this Miss America? The silky woodiness, the slight florality, and a minimal smoky edge. The rest, unfortunately, remains impenetrable association on my part.

PL lasts a long time on my clothes, on the skin I get like 7 hours as a H/S problem child, with first moderate and then light projection.
Maybe after my just started trying silicone primers I can give better reports.

Who from the designer area Just Rock! or even this is her! to appreciate, comes with PL certainly also well at his expense, here you get something similar, just more oriental and multi-layered, more valuable. Have also already heard that people smell a touch of Dior Addict in it - and I can understand it!

Why does it feel like nobody is talking about it?
It remains a mystery to me how this fragrance can exist and yet people only talk about its - in my opinion - boring brother "Side Effect". PL starts with a floral effervescence, which transforms beautifully into a sweet-powdery dream that is neither too sweet nor too boring. It smells almondy, ylang ylang, hedione and heliotrope make it slightly floral and the sandalwood in the base gives the fragrance its softness. It easily lasts 8-10 hours on my skin and is also very radiant for the first few hours. I bought it straight away after spraying it on for the first time because I was instantly in love. I never want to live without this perfume again.

Head over heels in love. New signature scent. Many mention it as more feminine than masculine but I don't care. I can't stop sniffing myself

Opens smooth, sweet & floral (reminds me of orange blossom); eventually it's almond, vanilla and a hefty dose of spicy patchouli. Feminine.
