Welcome to the world of Initio Parfums Prives Side Effect, a perfume that since its release in 2016 has become a true icon in niche perfumery.
This unisex fragrance belongs to the young but already legendary house Initio Parfums Prives, founded in 2015 by visionary Nade Benemar, and is part of the provocative collection The Carnal Blends Collection, where each bottle tells a story of sensuality and passion.

Released in an era when niche perfumery is experiencing a renaissance, this fragrance quickly won the hearts of connoisseurs worldwide, becoming a symbol of boldness and innovation.
Side Effect is positioned as a unisex fragrance, making it an ideal choice for bold individuals not confined by gender boundaries.
In the form of eau de parfum, it offers a medium trail that leaves behind an intriguing trace, without overwhelming others, perfectly suited for evening outings or intimate encounters.
For optimal effect, it is recommended to use point application on the skin and spraying into the cloud on clothing, which allows controlling the intensity and extending the life of the fragrance for a full day or evening.
Thanks to its warm and spicy notes, Side Effect is particularly good in cooler seasons, creating a cozy and mysterious atmosphere.
