Description

Rum and cinnamon open Initio's Side Effect EDP before tobacco and vanilla take over in the heart, resolving to sandalwood and musk: a minimal, boozy oriental for anyone.

About Initio Side Effect EDP

Side Effect from Initio's Absolute collection is built on a short ingredient list and a clear concept: a boozy, tobacco-driven oriental with no unnecessary complexity. The rum and cinnamon opening is immediate and warm, the rum adding a slightly sweet, alcoholic quality while cinnamon provides dry spice. The combination is familiar and inviting rather than challenging.

Tobacco and vanilla in the heart form the composition's core: tobacco is warm and slightly leathery, with vanilla adding sweetness that rounds it into an accessible, wearable base. Sandalwood in the drydown provides a creamy, woody depth; musk extends the projection at a moderate level for six to eight hours. A fragrance that commits to its concept without distraction.
