A seductive unisex fragrance launched in 2016 from France, Side Effect is an intense oriental-spicy creation known for its bold, addictive character. Part of the prestigious Initio Carnal Blends collection, this fragrance blends rich spices, tobacco, and creamy vanilla to create a magnetic and unforgettable signature designed to evoke passion and confidence.

Olfactory Notes
Top notes: Cinnamon Bark, Rum
Heart notes: Tobacco, Saffron
Base notes: Sandalwood, Hedione

A captivating composition that opens with warm cinnamon and boozy rum richness, unfolds into a deep heart of tobacco and saffron, and settles into a smooth woody base of sandalwood and hedione. The result is bold, warm, and intensely seductive with a luxurious oriental-spicy character.

Ideal Occasion
Perfect for evening wear, date nights, or special occasions when you want a bold and unforgettable signature scent. Its rich oriental profile makes it especially suited for fall and winter, delivering strong presence and sensual appeal.
