Narcotic Delight Initio Parfums Prives
Das ist der Date-Night-Duft, den ich schon lange gesucht habe. Kirsche, würzig, Tabak, dunkel, sexy, süß und göttliche Sache, die auch von Frauen getragen werden kann. Wenn ich ihn mit Althair, Side Effect oder sogar Herod vergleiche, dann ist er für mich besser (die waren für mich ein bisschen maskuliner). Sorry Jungs, Frauen wollen auch etwas sexy tragen :D Wenn ihr mit der Süße nicht klarkommt, tragt es nicht und sagt nicht, dass es deswegen langweilig ist

Completely addictive!
I’ve did a complete 360 with this scent!! When I smelled this the first few times, I hated it. I don’t know why. I was testing it along with Absolute Aphrodisiac at the time, which I definitely can’t stand, and wrote the brand off completely. Maybe I got these scents confused. Anyway fast forward 4 months, I retested my sample and now I’m completely addicted!

Narcotic Delight is a very sexy, intoxicating, dark and mysterious scent. I personally can’t really say I can identify any individual notes. I can detect something a little sweet, a little tangy, but I don’t recognise it as cherry. I don’t get cherry coke, though would be happy with if I did. I usually hate leather or oud notes, but on my skin the leather is subdued enough for me to enjoy this. For that reason it’s also unlike anything I have in my collection. I can’t even describe what this smells like. It’s just in a league of its own. I love it!

No delight for me.
First, I know I am not the target market for this perfume and that's ok. I still wanted to write a review of what I had experience in testing it out as I was given a generous sample by a young lady at a fragrance counter. But lo and behold @Porfiria had the exact same experience as I did.

"For me is so sweet I can smell only the big combo of liquors cherry, not realistic cherry and a big explosion of Hedione. Tobacco? No trace on my first sniff even in second and so on.
The drydown is soft, smooth and pleasant

More feminine than masculine but talking with some friends they argue the opposite, so… Do I buy the full bottle? No, even this time it’s not my cup of tea."

Yup, could not have said it better myself.

SWEET
Narcotic Delight opens very fruity and sweet, but as this dries down more of the tobacco and cognac come out and to me it just smells like a smoking lounge for preteens. If you're going for that style or like that scent then this would be perfect for you, but I find this way too sweet to consider wearing beyond today's sample.

When I wore this today, it was on the back of my hand. While out on my walk I ran into my cousin and we started chatting of course... I was so embarrassed that I had this on that I hid my hands behind my back in an attempt to not get the scent near her. We hugged so she definitely got a whiff, but still. I tried.

Leans more feminine to my nose due to the overly sweet cherry. It doesn't last that long either.

For a comparison, Montale's Infinity does a similar thing without the boozy notes, it's more elevated as it adds powderiness and Oud and lasts a lot longer. It does have tobacco in it but it's done more subtly.

Hookah!
I had high expectacions on this fragrance knowing that I like cherry and tobacco and boozy notes.
Being a lover of Guerlain L’Homme I was hoping for this fragrance to have some resembles to it.
To be honest, my first impression I was not completely sold. I liked it but it was not what I thought it would be.
But after wearing it for some time it just keeps growing on me, and now it’s in my top 10 fragrances OAT.
Imagine you sit at a bar, and 5m away from you sits a couple smoking a cherry flavoured hookah with some waxiness. That’s what this fragrance is. But super sexy and unique.

Simply amazing. The cherry takes a back seat after the opening. Sweet, seductive tobacco and an overdose of hedione. Performance is nuclear.

This perfume can’t be judged on opening spray. It comes to life as you wear it on your skin, and is sexy, bold, and irresistible. I love it on a woman

Sweet, spicy, fruity, vanilla. Opens with a blast of syrupy cherry and liquor. Drys down to a spicy, fruity, vanilla. Unisex IMO.

Side Effect with cherry. There, I said it. 7/10. Layer it with Mancera Arabians Tonka and it becomes a 9/10.

i’m finding this far too strong. the boozy cherry tobacco notes are crammed together without subtlety & leave this wearer gasping for air.

Initio always manages it! Something like Kinetik Sillage but with cherry and the seductive core of Absolute Aphrodisiac

Opens boozy-syrupy cherry (tad feminine); drydown feels like a cherry take of Kilian's Apple Brandy, given the mild tobacco. Poor performer.
