Side Effect from Initio Parfums Prives, released in 2016, is a boozy, spicy tobacco scent. Everyone describes it as spicy, and about half also note woody and aromatic facets.
The notes are listed without stages, but the character is clear. Rum gives a warm, sweet and slightly syrupy boozy note, while cinnamon and saffron add a glowing, golden and slightly leathery spice. Hedione brings an airy, transparent jasmine-like lift that keeps the blend from feeling too heavy. Underneath, tobacco adds a dry, honeyed leaf, and sandalwood a creamy, smooth woodiness that rounds out the finish.
People report long-lasting wear and a moderate to strong trail. Votes favour winter and autumn and lean very strongly towards evening, so it suits nights out, bars, dinners and cold weather. It is worn by anyone who likes rich, warming scents built around rum, spice and tobacco, and who enjoys a cosy but confident presence.
