Side Effect Initio 2016

Side Effect. My first contact with the fragrance was as a clone (After Effect), but then at some point I had to get the original. And yep, that was a good decision! My girlfriend loves it and so do I!

Although it has its very own character, or perhaps precisely because of that, it is sometimes difficult to describe exactly what the fragrance does and can do.

If you look at the notes, you might think it's just a dry tobacco vanilla fragrance with a dark, sticky sweet idea of smoky rum. But far from it!
The rum is what dominates with the vanilla pretty much immediately after spraying it on for the next hour! The two notes even blend so well that you can smell a certain cherry accord. And it stays for the time being! For a long time, you first smell this sweet, dense rum-vanilla-cherry note and then this note gradually fades (approx. 2 1/2 hours) and the woody, tobacco-rubbed cinnamon notes gradually emerge. This then mixes with the last remnants of the rum note (approx. 5-6h) and the still clearly perceptible vanilla, creating a really cozy atmosphere
The fragrance thus moves from vanilla-sweet rum cherry to vanilla rum to light cinnamony sweet vanilla.

I have already let Longevity shine through the text, but it is very good! I can't give a direct general number of hours for everyone, as I usually spray very little (at least less than many others here), but even with my delicate 1-2 sprays on the neck or on the hand, it accompanies me through the day for at least 8 noticeable hours, but you can certainly still notice it on me after 10 hours. Sweaters last until the next wash (I took a jacket out of my wardrobe that had been lying there for over a month, I could smell directly which perfume had rubbed off the sleeve the last time I wore it) Sillage is monstrous, very strong, very noticeable. If you want to be noticed, this is guaranteed to work with 3-4 sprays.

I don't really want to rate something like the bottle, but it should be noted that the whole preparation feels very valuable and special thanks to the slightly rubbery coating.

The only criticism of the perfume would be that the spray head sometimes wants to spray more and sometimes less and that the perfume actually needed the first 2-4 months to "mature".
Initially it really only smelled slightly better than my clone, with not so convincing longevity, but it has since really developed and is exactly what I wanted!

Side Effect has become a permanent part of my collection :)
