Side Effect

Initio Parfums Privés Side Effect is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Side Effect opens with Cinnamon and Saffron, settles into a heart of Hedione, Tobacco, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, and Musk. Initio Parfums Privés's Side Effect carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

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.
