Sweet-spicy rum scent with a wonderful vanilla note
Side Effect is probably the most well-known fragrance from Initio - and not without reason. The scent starts off with a strong "boozy" sweetness. Tobacco and cinnamon complement the rum note in a pleasant way. The fragrance is carried by a truly excellent vanilla note, which I particularly enjoy here. The scent is more suited for winter, or for mild and special summer evenings. The sillage is strong and optimal for me - not too faint, but also not overpowering. The longevity is also impressive, lasting about 8 hours on my skin. Side Effect is a really great fragrance that everyone should at least smell once.
