Initio Side Effect is not a fragrance you wear casually - it is a clear statement. From the first spray, this warm, slightly sweet rum note captures immediate attention. Vanilla and tobacco join in, giving the fragrance a creamy, dark depth that makes it incredibly sensual. Everything feels very rounded, high-quality, and luxurious.
The projection is strong without being cheap or unpleasant, and compliments are almost guaranteed. Longevity and sillage are above average, especially in the colder months. For everyday wear, it is too intense for me, but in the evening or on special occasions, Side Effect is simply an experience - addictive and absolutely unique.
