INITIO 
SIDE EFFECT

The Tobacco, Vanilla, Rum and Cinnamon harmony of this fragrance is spellbinding. It tantalizes the most discerning senses by playing off each of its facets - Leather, animal and the woody note of Vanilla - one by one. Recklessly bold... and stirring. Deeply buried emotions and passions take over. The fragrance lifts the veil on the unsayable. This passionate perfume has the power to plunge its wearer into that altered state where nothing is too daring because there are no risks left.

Notes: Cinnamon Bark, Rum, Tobacco, Saffron, Sandalwood, Hedione

- Scientists long thought that it was impossible for certain fragrances to be capable of releasing sex hormones. However, a team of researchers from Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany, has shown that specifically scented molecules called hediones (methyldihydrojasmonate) can activate brain regions linked to libido. As a result, they can trigger arousal and attraction.

- Hedione - a word aptly derived from the Greek "hedone" meaning "desire" - a mysterious molecule that acts as a detonator for the explosion of the fragrance bomb.

- The scientific discovery of Hedione led to the creation of Carnal Blends, an unprecedented collection by Initio in which all formulas have been enriched with Hedione.

- Made in France.

For a long-lasting fragrance effect, apply one to two sprays of the eau de parfum to the skin from 20 cm distance. Warm areas of the body, such as the inside of the arms, are particularly suitable for the fragrance to unfold.
