An Invitation to Bold Temptation: Side Effect Initio Parfums Prives

The inspiration for Side Effect by Initio Parfums Privés lies in the seductive allure of forbidden pleasures. This fragrance was crafted to evoke a feeling of indulgence and rebellion, a scent designed to mirror the thrill of crossing boundaries and embracing one’s desires without restraint. The creators wanted to capture an olfactory experience that feels daring yet irresistibly captivating—a blend of mystery and warmth that draws people in with its complex, sensual character. Side Effect is an embodiment of the intoxicating dance between pleasure and temptation, making it an unforgettable addition to any daring fragrance collection.

Finally, warm cinnamon spices and a hint of leather meld into the base, grounding the scent in sophistication and richness. This progression from intense warmth to creamy allure and deep sensuality mirrors the journey of indulgence and refined pleasure.

Side Effect Review

This is a bold fragrance that exudes confidence and sophistication. On my skin, it projects a powerful presence, one that fills the room and leaves a lasting impression. It’s a scent that seems to carry with it a sense of luxury and refined taste, standing out in its richness and depth. There's an undeniable intensity here that feels grounded, mature, and remarkably well-blended.

I envision this fragrance being embraced by individuals who are confident and self-assured, those who appreciate opulence and are unafraid of making a statement. It’s ideal for evening wear, perfect for formal occasions or an elegant night out.  Whether it’s a man in a tailored suit or a woman with a fierce presence, Side Effect amplifies boldness, elegance, and class.

This perfume reminds me of The One Luminous Night Dolce&Gabbana, After Effect Fragrance World, Eye of Seven Hills Alghabra Parfums, Upside Down Alexandria Fragrances, Tobacco Flirting With Vanilla Mes Bisous, Collateral Damage The Dua Brand

I had a decant and the juice was very long lasting. I don’t know if it’s a reformulation. Or new batch that needs to macerate but my decant did not have typical staying power. It is a fabulous scent for fall/winter - leans masculine but had one of my favorite notes.
