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.

That's just oustanding

It is an intense and sensual fragrance that clearly communicates its character from the very first seconds. The opening revolves around cherry, dense, juicy, slightly liqueur-like, but also sinful. The sweetness of the fruit reminds one of a glass of cherry liquor - deep, with a spicy accent that adds noticeable vigor to the whole, like a spark. This opening is seductive from the very first moment, it is confident and expressive. I would venture to say that the personified composition "drags" people along by the nose just to make them feel this opening.

A moment later, the scent softens a bit and deepens. Cognac, all in amber, glides onto the stage, pouring warmly, smoothly, and without haste. Cherry is still present, but it is more mature, less fruity, and more liqueur-like.

I love how the scent fades when the cognac has played its Oscar-worthy role, replaced by tobacco, which brings a dark elegance, dry and slightly smoky, evoking dark wood and leather armchairs. Vanilla and tonka subtly envelop the composition

This composition is a hedonistic and introspective plague - it doesn't seek an easy effect, but builds tension through density and depth. The sweetness of this composition is mature, devoid of naivety, evoking the memory of an evening spent in silence, where time slows down and the senses sharpen without the need for external stimuli.

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
