Initio Parfums Privés Narcotic Delight is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Narcotic Delight opens with Pepper, Pink Pepper, and Cherry, settles into a heart of Cognac, Rose, and Hedione, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Initio Parfums Privés's Narcotic Delight carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Narcotic Delight is a bold, boozy cherry-vanilla powerhouse that divides opinion; some find it a sexy, addictive masterpiece, while others are put off by its intensity, synthetic vibe, or overwhelming sweetness. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Given its enormous sillage and longevity, this scent is ill-suited for the office, where it could easily overpower colleagues. Its seductive boozy cherry and tobacco notes, frequently described in reviews as 'sexy' and 'intoxicating', make it ideal for dates and evening events. While leaning towards night-time wear, its opulent character also fits formal evening gatherings, but it's too heavy and sweet for casual daytime or sport.

About

Explodes with a spicy hit of black and pink pepper, quickly ushering in a juicy, tart cherry note, often likened to maraschino liqueur. A richly boozy cognac heart emerges, blending with a subtle rose. The dry-down settles into a smooth, warm embrace of vanilla and tonka, grounded by a smoky hint of tobacco and earthy patchouli, creating a deeply sensual and sweet finish.
