Why try a decant first?
A full bottle of Side Effect is a €280 commitment, before you even know it’s truly yours. VESTIGIUM lets you be certain first, from €22.
A rum-soaked tobacco gourmand built for late nights. Side Effect opens on warm rum and cinnamon, then a tobacco-papyrus heart settles in, before vanilla and immortelle drag it into the dry-down. The composition reads addictive without ever becoming sweet: Initio's signature trick. The TikTok masculine reference of the niche era, but worn unisex by those who know. Long sillage, projection that fills a room without screaming. The kind of fragrance that lives on a sweater you don't wash.
