See What People Think

Side Effect by Initio Parfums Prives is a 2016 unisex fragrance in the warm spicy family, with tobacco, rum, cinnamon, woody and sweet tones. Smooth rum opens it. Cinnamon and tobacco carry the heart notes, sandalwood sits in the base notes, and velvety vanilla warmth deepens the drydown. Seductive and confident, it is a whisper that lingers long after the first encounter. Initio Parfums Prives Side Effect evokes the dim glow of a private salon, where laughter is low, glasses clink softly and every glance carries a secret, and it was crafted to celebrate the thrill of temptation. Winter is the favorite season, followed by fall, and the evening and night hours are when it is worn. It is a good pick for anyone who wants a rum-and-tobacco scent for cold nights out.
