Side Effect is a sweet tobacco built on rum, cinnamon and sandalwood - boozy at the top, spiced through the middle, dry and woody underneath. It projects hard and holds all day, so it is a night fragrance whether or not you planned one. Initio's most talked-about release and firmly a cold-weather scent.

About this perfume

Side Effect opens on rum, moving through tobacco and cinnamon into a dry, woody base of sandalwood. It projects hard and holds all day, which is why it reads as a night fragrance. It wears unisex and shows best in winter. Initio released it in 2016.
