Initio Parfums Privés Psychedelic Love is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Psychedelic Love opens with Bergamot and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Rose, Heliotrope, and Hedione, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Myrrh. Initio Parfums Privés's Psychedelic Love carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly divisive fragrance, Psychedelic Love can be either an intoxicating, sexy masterpiece or a cloying, 'grandma'-scented headache. If you're willing to take the trip, sample it first - the pay-off is immense for many.

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.

While some find it intimate, its strong sillage and impressive longevity mean it leans more towards evenings out than daily office wear. The alluring, powdery floral-woody profile is perfect for dates and formal events, though its comforting sweetness can also work for casual, cooler weather.

About

Psychedelic Love opens with the heady, creamy sweetness of ylang-ylang, brightened by a whisper of bergamot to prevent it from becoming too heavy. As it develops, a velvety rose emerges, enveloped in a soft, almond-like heliotrope and the radiant lift of hedione. The dry down is a sensuous embrace of warm, powdery sandalwood and an ancient, resinous myrrh, creating a smooth, almost gourmand depth that feels both comforting and seductive.
