Which Should You Buy?
A boozy, spiced, tobacco-vanilla powerhouse-Side Effect is unapologetically seductive and luxurious. Not for the faint of heart, it leaves a lingering, unforgettable trail that commands attention and embraces the night.
Side Effect dupes Initio's boozy cinnamon-tobacco signature - the rum-cinnamon opening is a close, satisfying match, but the dupe's vanilla-sandalwood base thins out sooner than the rich, sensual original.

Occasions
With its intoxicating sillage and warmth, Side Effect excels at evening, date, and formal wear, creating a seductive aura. Its boldness and sweetness are often too much for office or sporty situations.
Seasons
A warm, boozy spice-tobacco gourmand suited to cold weather and evening wear.
