Inspiration: Side Effect by Initio Parfums Intoxicating rum swoons and beckons as spellbinding vanilla sweeps in for the kill. As this sweet tale unfolds, tobacco carries the narrative, keeping us engaged through page after metaphorical page. Lest we forget to mention the stirring aroma of cinnamon bark, let it be known that vanilla alone does not make up the decadence of this composition. Initio’s Side Effect is a tale best read by the nose. One sniff of this blissful concoction confirmed our need to add it to our family of blends. Bearing a much more complex olfactory make up than what is divulged through your typical note pyramid, recreating the magic of Side Effect was an onerous yet fruitful endeavor.
