Initio Side Effect Eau de Parfum

Side Effect by INITIO Parfums Privés is an iconic unisex Eau de Parfum built around a captivating accord of tobacco, vanilla, rum, and cinnamon. Warm, addictive, and deeply sensual, this fragrance explores the richer, leathery, and woody facets of vanilla through a bold composition enhanced by saffron, sandalwood, and Hedione.

The scent opens with the intoxicating warmth of rum and cinnamon, creating an immediate sense of richness and allure. As it develops, tobacco and saffron bring depth, spice, and smoky elegance, while vanilla softens the composition with a smooth, enveloping sweetness. In the dry-down, sandalwood and Hedione add creamy warmth and radiance, leaving behind a long-lasting, unforgettable trail.

Powerful yet refined, Side Effect is a statement fragrance designed for those who enjoy amber-spicy scents with exceptional presence and a distinctly addictive character.
