What is Initio Parfums known for?
Initio Parfums Privés is known for creating powerful, high-impact fragrances designed to be magnetic and seductive. Having tested the range at The Parfumes Shop, we find their compositions use extremely high concentrations of premium ingredients. Try Oud for Greatness or Blessed Baraka to experience their potency.
What does Initio Side Effect smell like?
Side Effect opens with cinnamon and rum, reveals tobacco and vanilla, and settles into hedione and leather. Having tested it at The Parfumes Shop, we find it warm, intoxicating, and like a luxurious cigar lounge. For a different Initio experience, try Oud for Greatness — a powerful oud, saffron, and patchouli composition.
Why is Initio Parfums so expensive?
Initio Parfums Privés is expensive because the brand uses extremely high concentrations of premium natural and synthetic ingredients, including oud, saffron, and other costly materials. According to Fragrantica's Initio profile, the brand maintains niche distribution. At The Parfumes Shop, we make Initio accessible through 10ml samples — try Blessed Baraka.
Are Initio fragrances long lasting?
Yes, Initio fragrances are renowned for exceptional longevity — typically 8 to 12+ hours with strong projection. Having tested them at The Parfumes Shop, Oud for Greatness is particularly beast-mode. Browse the full Initio Parfums collection for 10ml samples.
