Initio Side Effect is not a fragrance that you simply "wear" - it is a statement. From the very first spray, a warm, dense, and incredibly sensual aura unfolds, immediately showcasing its presence without being intrusive. Rum, vanilla, and tobacco merge into an addictive composition that feels soft, dark, and elegant at the same time.
What I particularly love about Side Effect is its ability to draw attention in a very natural way. Compliments come regularly and effortlessly - often accompanied by the question of what kind of fragrance it actually is. It feels confident, but not loud, seductive without being crude, and possesses a depth that one discovers anew with each wear.
The longevity is excellent, as is the sillage: present, but controlled. Especially in the evening or during special moments, Side Effect reveals its full effect and leaves a lasting impression. For me, it is a fragrance that evokes emotions while also showcasing character.
