Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Initio Absolute Aphrodisiac
Rich and seductive with a potent vanilla base - an intense fragrance for intimate moments.
Acquired
Our Verdict - 1984
Divisive, yet utterly captivating. This is a bold, modern take on traditional rose and amber, with a smoky, almost gothic edge that some will adore and others will find challenging. Definitely not for the shy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Initio Absolute Aphrodisiac

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Its rich vanilla and amber base makes it well-suited for cooler seasons like fall and winter, but its presence of white floral and mildly spicy notes also render it pleasant for spring nights.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Though it's intense and alluring, making it ideal for dates, its strong projection and richness might be overwhelming for office or sporty settings.

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

The bold, opulent nature of this fragrance makes it a showstopper for dates and formal events, commanding attention without being overwhelming. Its smoky and amber accords are less suited for a casual daytime or office environment, where it might prove too distracting, and definitely not for sporty activities.
