Best date fragrance

This is my magic potion to hypnotize the opposite sex. Sweet, a little alcoholic and woody. Very sexy and elegant. I've gotten a lot of compliments on the scent from "it smells very good" to "I have sexual fantasies because of the scent". It's not about romance, it's about animalistic lust and passion.

I perceive a dark rum, tainted by the wood of the barrel in which it has matured. The vanilla sprinkled with cinnamon blends well with the dried
Tobacco leaves. It just smells sexy!

There is a lot of disagreement about the longevity and silage, but in my opinion the performance is outstanding. Silage is an 8/10 durability as well. Initio Side Effect is definitely the best from initio and possibly a blind buy for lovers of warm, spicy, woody, alcoholic and tobacco scents.

If you want to seduce women and achieve a high success rate right away, buy Side Effect!

The warm, powerful date scent in winter

applied for the first time in the perfumery. Wow, it's intense. The sweet rum note comes right away. The vanilla comes through more strongly in the drydown. Light tobacco plays in the background. So no reason for women not to wear it. However, I would put it in the fall/winter because it is really strong and fits the season better with the notes. Please feel your way with the amount of spray and don't scare away your date with an overdose. 1-2 sprays are easily enough. The fragrance lasts forever on clothing.

The bottles are really beautiful but a little disappointed because the bottle has slight signs of abrasion in the colored purple area (edges). With the opaque bottles, it is always a matter of estimating the filling quantity. I'm always very torn between the look and the benefits.

The perfect fragrance for the evening

A unique fragrance with a strong shelf life, you really can't go wrong. Highly recommended even for beginners. I would describe it as very mysterious, as if a treasure is hidden in it and with time the fragrance unfolds in full splendor. The combination of rum and vanilla harmonizes incredibly well with each other, add a little tobacco and saffron and boom, a fragrance that really hits the spot.

Beguilingly good! Poker evening with a cigar and whiskey.

The time has finally come, the weekend is here.
I've been looking forward to this day for a long time and the usual group has arranged to play poker.

As always, I stand in front of my closet and open the door. I don't have any problems choosing today as there's a dress code - tuxedo!

Dressed up, I glance at the perfume rack. 'It has to be something strong today,' I think to myself and reach for a recently received fragrance. The black bottle with the golden highlights looks as classy as I feel in my tuxedo. The right choice.

Left, right - the scent of rum and vanilla becomes very present and already throws me into the poker room in my mind.

The men are sitting there, it smells of tobacco and I can also smell the wooden table. I move slowly to the table, looking forward to what is about to happen.

A ringing in the background startles me. My alarm clock - I am torn from my dream, standing in front of the large mirror in my dressing room with the side effect bottle in my hand.

It's going to be a good evening!
-

In summary, a powerful and great fragrance for anyone who wants to leave a lasting impression.

The sillage makes many heads turn and compliments hail. Great fragrance!

That's all you need for a date!

The perfect fragrance for a date, rum and vanilla-cinnamon combination, rounded off with tobacco.

The opening is strong and impressed me immediately, the rum and the sweet notes are in the foreground.

A pleasant sweet warmth in the depths, with tobacco and sandalwood notes in the drydown, with the tobacco playing rather gently in the background.

A strong fragrance with impressive longevity and sillage. The fragrance is very seductive and attractive.
