Description

Experience the intoxicating power of Initio Side Effect with our premium perfume decants, available in 2ml, 5ml, and 10ml sizes.

Side Effect is bold, seductive, and unapologetically addictive.

The fragrance opens with rum.

As it develops, tobacco and saffron form the heart.

The dry down settles into cinnamon, sandalwood, and hedione.

The result is a fragrance that is powerful, sweet, and dangerously smooth — perfect for evenings, special occasions, cooler weather, and moments when you want maximum impact.

Please Note: Each bottle is designed with a small amount of extra headspace to ensure the atomiser functions correctly. Rest assured, each sample contains the specified quantity of liquid.

Also available as a full bottle (90ml).

Do you accept returns?

Samples
For hygiene reasons, samples can't be returned for change of mind. Faulty, damaged or incorrect items are always replaced or refunded.

Testers
Testers come without a retail box or cellophane, so they can't be returned for change of mind.
