Description

Side Effect by Initio is a warm, boozy and spicy fragrance dominated by rum, tobacco and cinnamon.

To picture its scent, imagine a glass of dark rum beside sweet tobacco leaves, with a cinnamon stick and a touch of saffron. The impression is rich and warm, with a vanilla-like sweetness that softens the alcohol and makes the tobacco feel smoother rather than dry.

Sandalwood adds creaminess, while Hedione brings a subtle touch of brightness to an otherwise intense composition. It smells of spiced rum, sweet tobacco, cinnamon and warm vanilla: nocturnal, sensual and enveloping, with an almost liqueur-like effect on the skin.
