Initio Side Effect

Initio Side Effect – The Art of Seduction in a Bottle

Initio Side Effect is more than just a fragrance—it’s an experience. Rich, intoxicating, and utterly addictive, it blends warm tobacco, smooth vanilla, dark rum, and a hint of fiery cinnamon into a scent that is both bold and sophisticated. This is the kind of perfume that doesn’t just follow you; it pulls people in, leaving behind a trail of intrigue and desire.

At Afrodite Decants, we love Side Effect for its magnetic presence—it’s luxurious yet daring, powerful yet effortlessly elegant. Whether you’re wearing it for a night of passion or as your signature scent, it’s a fragrance that speaks of confidence, mystery, and undeniable charm. If you want to leave a lasting impression, this is the scent to do it.

The Scent Profile of Initio Side Effect

A powerful and captivating composition that radiates sensuality and elegance.

A Captivating Opening of Rum and Cinnamon

Side Effect opens with a warm, intoxicating rush of spiced rum and cinnamon. This rich, boozy accord immediately sets a bold and seductive tone, inviting the senses into an alluring and mysterious journey.

A Heart of Tobacco and Vanilla – Sensual and Addictive

At the heart of the fragrance, smooth vanilla and rich tobacco leaf create a deep, velvety warmth. The interplay between these two notes is magnetic—vanilla’s creamy sweetness softens the rugged, smoky depth of tobacco, striking the perfect balance between boldness and elegance.

A Lingering Base of Leather and Woods

As the fragrance dries down, subtle leather and woody accords emerge, adding an element of sophistication and longevity. These warm, earthy tones ensure that this parfum leaves an unforgettable trail of mystery and seduction.

• Rehab is a smoother, more aromatic take on vanilla and lavender, whereas Side Effect leans into deep tobacco and spiced rum, creating a bolder, more provocative presence.
• While Absolute Aphrodisiac focuses on a musky vanilla accord with animalic undertones, Side Effect is warmer and more intoxicating with its rich tobacco and boozy elements.
• Oud for Greatness highlights oud and saffron in a regal composition, whereas Side Effect is more seductive and intimate, focusing on warm spices, tobacco, and vanilla.

Comparison with Other Luxury Tobacco-Based Fragrances (Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, Kilian Angels’ Share & Parfums de Marly Herod)

This fragrance competes with some of the most prestigious tobacco-vanilla scents on the market.

• Tobacco Vanille is richer in vanilla and dried fruit, while Side Effect has a more boozy, spiced character with prominent rum and cinnamon.
• Both fragrances share a warm, liquor-like quality, but Angels’ Share leans into praline and cinnamon, whereas Side Effect combines tobacco and vanilla for a smokier depth.
