    Description

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

    About Initio Side Effect EDP

    Side Effect from Initio's Carnal Blends 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; hedione enhances the blend. A fragrance that commits to its concept without distraction.

    When to Wear

    Side Effect suits autumn and cooler months from afternoon through evening. The rum-tobacco structure deepens in lower temperatures. Suited to casual and social occasions, evenings out, and relaxed settings. Sandalwood in the drydown provides a creamy, woody depth; hedione extends the projection at a moderate level for six to eight hours.
