Initio Parfums Privés High Frequency is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. High Frequency settles into a heart of Jasmine, Magnolia, Heliotrope, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Vanilla. Initio Parfums Privés's High Frequency carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive, intriguing, and undeniably potent - High Frequency is a creamy, almond-laced floral that demands attention but won't be everyone's cup of tea. Expect polarising opinions and a love-it-or-hate-it reception.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Office Casual

Its potent projection and distinct scent, often described as 'beast mode' by reviewers, make it less ideal for a conservative office environment. However, the sensual and luxurious profile is perfect for dates and evening events, bringing an elegant confidence that stands out.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

High Frequency opens with a vibrant burst of white florals, primarily jasmine and magnolia, given a contemporary lift by hedione. This bright, almost effervescent floral heart quickly deepens into a rich, creamy blend of nutty almond and a smooth, sweet vanilla, underscored by a subtle sandalwood. It manages to feel both fresh and comforting, with a delicate powdery veil as it settles on the skin.
