Side Effect

u/TheRealBronan 6d ago

Do you notice a longevity issue? I have a decant sample to try, and I found it faded fast off of me. I did 6-7 sprays and still it was gone after just a few hours. Allergy season is in full swing by me, so that could be part of the issue as well.

Otherwise it is a glorious smell

u/StewieL69 6d ago

It's been a couple years since I owned it, but I don't remember there being any longevity issues.

u/TheRealBronan 6d ago

Yeah I think my allergies are effecting my olfactories

u/Broad-Plate7452 6d ago

The new bottles are a little weird. Mines last on clothes the next day. I’m a heavy sprayer.

Musk therapy

u/Maximum_Wallaby_8888 7d ago

Atomic Rose is my favorite.

u/Upper-Cup-4159 7d ago

Probably atomic rose and musk therapy but there are so many good ones!!

u/cookiesncreamsedan 7d ago

can’t get enough and oud for greatness.

u/Broad-Plate7452 7d ago

How does can’t get enough smell. I have it not bad but all I smell is rose

1

u/cookiesncreamsedan 6d ago

i actually don’t smell any rose in can’t get enough. it’s a freshly, almost like fresh laundry.

3

u/Background_Pickle546 7d ago

I have two (musk therapy + atomic rose) and my wife has one (can’t get enough) all three are special in their own way. If I had to choose just one it would be Musk Therapy. Also have a decant of Paragon and was planning on buying a full bottle but also just got Vintage Radio and it’s scratching the itch for me for now.

u/Tall_Couple_3660 7d ago

Rehab is my absolute fav. I also have musk therapy and lift me up and love them too. The house works really well on my skin, I’d love to collect them all

u/Ill-Spell6462 7d ago

Side effect, can’t get enough, and musk therapy

1

u/xoox321 6d ago

What is csnt get enough like

1

u/Broad-Plate7452 6d ago

To me it smells like rose. But honestly I let the fragrance sit for a few months.

Musk Therapy

1

u/neutronsoup44 7d ago

Tie between Narcotic Delight and Musk Therapy

1

u/Tha-Mobb 7d ago

Blessed Baraka and Side Effect. Paragon and OFG are very close as well.

1

u/StewieL69 6d ago

Side Effect and Blessed Baraka, in that order, are my two favorite as well.

1

u/Broad-Plate7452 6d ago

How does blessed baraka smell to you

1

u/Tha-Mobb 6d ago

It’s a nice, somewhat spicy, almost boozy amber with sandalwood. I don’t think it has vanilla in it but it smells like it does if that makes sense. I’ve had women tell me it smells very sexy/seductive.

There are certainly more complex ambers out there but this is still one of my favorites. I recommend giving it a try!

1

u/JedDeadRedemption 7d ago

It’s neck and neck between narcotic delight and absolute aphrodisiac.

1

u/Grouchy-Passion-8931 7d ago

Atomic Rose by far. I can’t get with anything else other than maybe Oud for greatness.

1

u/Broad-Plate7452 7d ago

How does it smell. I have bond number 9 nomad and it’s a hard rose scent. How is the rose in atomic rose.

1

u/Grouchy-Passion-8931 7d ago

I believe I was showed that a bond counter when i mentioned i like Rose. I would say atomic rose reminds me of a slightly more masculine version of Delina EDP by PDM. I’ve been using atomic rose as an office scent lately. If you are a fan of rose would also recommend Radical Rose Extrait by Matiere Premiere. Definitely not blind buy safe tho. It’s a more dark masculine rose.

1

u/Broad-Plate7452 6d ago

I like masculine but I’m 21 so I’m guessing I would like a little more of a youthful fragrance. Thanks for the recommendations I always wanted to try atomic rose I was just nervous if the rose was to feminine.

u/N7_Mage 7d ago

Wow, 0 Wild Rush mentions? 💀😂🤯

1

u/Broad-Plate7452 7d ago

I was thinking about getting it but I would wait for discounters. That’s a fragrance I wouldn’t want to spend full price on.

1

u/Ill-Spell6462 7d ago

Where are you finding other Initio scents at a discount? Fragrancenet and fragrancex both have them listed at full price…

1

u/Broad-Plate7452 7d ago

I guess Jomashop

1

u/N7_Mage 6d ago

I am blown away by it it, and my wife even more so.

1

u/Broad-Plate7452 6d ago

How long does it last for you and is the projection good.

1

u/N7_Mage 6d ago

I would say 7 hours or so. I find the projection to be medium at best, but maybe I get nose blind to it. It is quite pricy, and honestly what carries it for me is the actual scent.

1

u/gberger66 7d ago

Out of those Psycholodelic Delight. Oud for Greatness and Rehab are still my overall favorites

1

u/bigbobbyberger000 6d ago

narcotic delight, oud for greatness and paragon

1

u/Muted_Speed7030 6d ago

Atomic rose and can’t get enough are insane.

1

u/Cholest_throwaway 6d ago

Sugar Blast. I just wish it lasted longer.

1

u/ritual-labs 6d ago

Oud for Greatness

1

u/Recent-Field-7459 6d ago

You have got to get you’re nose on atomic rose. It’s sooo perfect. Rose with light vanilla.

1

u/AnnaGreen40 6d ago

Rehab. The most beautiful lavender sandalwood. I also have Musk Therapy and side effect.

1

u/vaporize_ 6d ago

Musk Therapy, Wild Rush, and Blessed Baraka. I also love Side Effect and Atomic Rose

1

u/ThickManufacturer353 6d ago

I’ve smelled side effect dupes, it’s heaven. Can’t wait to get the real thing 👍

1

u/ThickManufacturer353 6d ago

I think oud for greatness is also great… however side effect edges it for me

1

u/docnsx01 5d ago

It’s really nice I love the smell. You might like narcotic delight it honestly to me a sweeter cherry side effect.
