Boozy nighttime scent
Sid 11/19/2025 11:17 AM
Nice tobacco, rum, date night scent. It is a nice scent, but a little too heavy for me

Really Good Cherry & Vanilla
Jonash 11/10/2025 1:05 PM
Beautiful candy in the air, STRONG RUM opening. Dry down fixes it. So the opening is strong SPARKLY rum and cherry, dry down fixes it with VANILLA + LESS ABRASIVE + SMOOTH. Very nice cherry + vanilla accord. Didn’t like it first but now I love it.

I had high hopes for this one but I just couldn't get into it. I didn't get the hype around it.

Honestly wanted to like this one
Logan 8/3/2025 10:31 AM
I really couldn’t get over the fact that the opening smelled like a high quality urinal cake. Not for me, but if you enjoy warm sweet Tobacco and rummy fragrances this might be for you! Probably the best part about this fragrance is the projection and longevity, it lasts forever.

Lane 4/19/2024 5:22 PM
To me it smells purple if you can imagine that. Very dark winter scent. Good longevity. It just didnt wow me like i wanted it to. A little cough syrup like.

This one’s special
Caleb 4/13/2024 12:16 AM
Fantastic cinnamon fragrance. Well blended niche quality. Similar to D&G The One Luminous Night but with a tobacco rum note.

Initio Side Effect
igor 3/23/2024 9:12 AM
This is a good perfume, in the opening its pretty similar to other perfumes of the same type but in the dry-down starts being real interesting
Scent:
The smell of this is honestly gorgeous, on the first spray I smell cinnamon, rum, and vanilla. The smell is good but overpowering a little. The dry good too. Performance is really good and the projection is good as well. Very strong fragrance that I do love because the smell is gorgeous.
8.2/10

Ruben 2/10/2024 8:13 PM
This is my first niche fragrance I tried and was not disappointed. It smelled like sweet tarts and rum to my nose and had lasted well over 24 hours on my skin.

Such a beautiful fragrance for men
Kevin 1/9/2024 8:30 PM
This is a spicy, slightly sweet, and boozy fragrance that has great longevity. If you've ever smelled D&G The One Luminous Night, this smells very similar to that, but with more booziness which sets it apart. The scent itself is addictive and I really enjoy it.

Okay for now
Ricky 10/17/2023 9:04 PM
My initial impressions are it’s okay. To my untrained nose it smells similar to PDM Carlile. I could be wrong. It would be great winter fragrance.

My Favorite Initio
Manny 6/9/2023 12:36 PM
I just tried this, Oud for Greatness and Rehab. Side Effect, which is usually the least liked of the three, is my favorite. It's boozy woodsy (maybe cypress). Man, absolutely fantastic.

Jayce 3/16/2023 2:21 AM
It smells like a ton of other scents only this is much more expensive. Kind of just smells like a generic warm - coulnd't really pick out any individual notes. Projection was nice though

Oriental fragrance
John 10/11/2022 8:08 PM
If you like your oriental scent, beast mode scent, then you would like this fragrance. Cherry cough syrup is present in the opening, vanilla and tobacco on the dry down. A little too strong for me, but very good non the less.
