I like ot. It's an unusual opening but it dries down into a spicy vanilla. I does nit last long though which is weird for Initio perfumes. Would i ever buy a full bottle? No.
Stunning Addiction!!! Valentine’s date night worthy! It’s a powdery chocolate seduction. It’s classy too! It’s a compliment getter! I just wish it would last like 12 hours, yet it does last 6 hours! If sprayed on clothes, it lasts longer…
Love this fragrance it lasts a long time
Absolute aphrodisiac a slightly chocolatey masculine opening, that soon blends to a slightly spicy winter fragrance, powered really by the musky notes. Overall resting into a sweet, slightly spiced soft, certainly musky with a light light floral note. Definitely masculine, definitely for winter and certainly sweet/gourmand esque with a masculine kick, and a hint of spice. It certainly takes after it's namesake, it pulls you in. It's addictive with a dark hint to it. It's opening is powerful, but it settles to a skin scent relatively quickly. Certainly follows the Initio makeup too. I'd give it an 8/10. It has it's similarities to side effect, I think it's a fantastic smell, but I may reach for something else on my shelf.
This scent is divine. All I need is for it to project more and last longer.
I love this fragrance. Smells so good. Unfortunately it doesn’t last too long and doesn’t project as well as I would like. Great fragrance for a romantic date night.
Must have. Beautiful and aromatic
Had to buy the full bottle! It’s different, exciting and beautiful!
The fragrance smells great, but I would not consider this to be unisex. It's definitely far more feminine.
Imagine 'Escada's - Sentiment For Men' melted into a unisex vial. It smells like Valentine's Day: White Chocolate, Roses, Vanilla, And Marshmallows.
It was just ok for me. Not strong at all and for not last.
I’d probably buy this one.
The powdery vanilla is overwhelming. I do like it has a warmness to it, and it lasts a long time. The scent profile itself I'm not for me.
Winter fragrance for sure. Was looking for something for spring so I socked this one away. Spicy and warm.
Intriguing fragrance. Dries down to a beautiful light scent. Wouldn’t purchase for myself because of the lasting power. Fades extremely quickly on my skin and clothes.
Smells great a light scent for evening
Surprisingly good!
This is disgusting in my opinion. I only gave it 2 stars because over time it fades to be less disgusting lol. This was my first order and I’m still over here sniffing and hoping it’ll become less old lady smell with peppered Vicks vapor rub. It has a sweet light smell mixed with it and I just can’t. I just pulled it from the mailbox and already issued an exchange and printed the label. I think if you are a mature individual with body chemistry that works with this then maybe it would be okay, but I probably wouldn’t stand too close to you.
Love at first sniff. I'm a vanilla lover and this just might be my favorite (or close to it).
Very nice. Sensual unisex, sweet and enticing.
Musky, vanilla, woody. Projects well. It's a very sweet smelling fragrance almost like candy or marshmellows and I can see how some people would not vibe with it, but I do enjoy it. Will stay on your clothes for a day.
Elegant, cozy vanilla.
Smells like medicine. Weird.
Very sexy musky delicious scent. I couldn't stop sticking my nose in my husband's neck and sniffing as hard as I could. So addicting. So sensual. I would def by this for full price.
Love the opening then it disappears on me.
It's okay. It's unlike the other Initio fragrances ive tried. It's not really "sexy" unless you have a food fetish, and your partner wants you to smell like fresh baked snickerdoodles.
A little too musky for me but isn't a bad scent
A very seductive scent! The vanilla really shines through in this fragrance.
It smells of chocolate. Not long ago I upgraded to platinum thinking there was a better variety there. And I find there are far to many “unisex” scents to choose from.
I mainly smell just vanilla in this but that’s ok. It’s yummy, cozy, inviting and perfect for fall and winter. Perfect for cuddling with your significant other on a romantic evening at home.
Unfortunately I am one of the people that picks up on the animallic note in this and it makes me nauseous. I cannot wear it and instantly returned it.
4.5/5, I really like this scent. It’s smells expensive for sure. It’s a bit too masculine for me, but on my husband it’s perfect. It’s masculine, sweet, classy smelling. Definitely a date night fragrance. I love the balance of the vanilla, musk, and leather. It is definitely a reminiscent smell that I can’t place.
Love it!
Too leathery, almost smells like cinnamon? Much too overpowering and harsh at first, softens after 2 hours, but even then something still feels off about it. Not a fan.
Way too much vanilla
This is a very strong warm vanilla scent. I like layering it with paragon.
It smells identical to a Bath and Body Works lotion I used in the early 2000's, and I don't care much for it as a perfume.
Smokey vanilla
I did not like this sent for me.
Its ok
Excellent fragrance but sweet is an understatement. I love this on a woman but it's not for men, in my opionion.
Beautiful, sensual fragrance! I love this one and a full bottle purchase is 100% the vanilla sits perfectly balanced under the woodiness of the perfume. Definitely not a standard vanilla. Probably my favourite perfume so far, perfect date night perfume.
Smells good but a little on the vanla note that i can smell more.
Love it so far my favorite.
This is a super sexy vanilla musk scent. One of my all time favorites. It's a splurge to get the full bottle, but it's worth it.
I personally love it It's smokey and sweet all at once It lasts most of the day as well depending on what I'm doing
Not my style but the dry down is a great vanilla
its a good fragrance but not for me. I would say it leans feminine. the opening is overly sweet to me. almost cotton candy like.
My absolute favourite fragrance. A sexy musky and dirty vanilla. Definitely gourmand and smells expensive. Cause it is :/. There is definitely something so unique about it. It’s very powdery so not for people who dislike powder. Definitely saving for the big bottle.
Love it
Love it~!
Great scent…… after the dry down. When I first sprayed this it was total grandma vibes BUT!!! Just give it a bit to simmer down and it’s lovely. Oh and she’s strong! So a little goes a long way with this one.
Very nice vanilla scent, but honestly not worth the money to buy full size. Alot of other vanilla perfumes smell very similar
This is so good. Sexy spicy vanilla, just a bit dirty. Reminds me of Musc Ravageur but more feminine, which is exactly what I was wanting. Has a little bit of smokiness, which I don’t enjoy. I grew up in a state with a “fire season” and it doesn’t make me think of cozy campfires, it makes me think of forest fires and hazy smoky skies with the occasional bit of ash floating on down, which obviously has a negative connotation!
Very unique, i wasnt sure about it at first but after a couple days. Im in love with this and can identify what im smelling. It has chocolate, it has resinous incense, it has vanilla and it has staying power. Very lovely.
Nice like vanilla spice kinda smell like its almost like grandmas house but later in life you found out that grandma was actually a really good looking dude and that was his naturall oder you were smelling. Its actually like crazy nice but a touch bit feminine is what the girls have said but the smell stays all day and even into the week and i like that i dont have to reapply 3-4 tines a day to keep smelling as good as i look
This is a vanilla sex bomb. Very strong, spray lightly! imo works best when lightly layered with other perfumes. It's not FB-worthy for me as it's not something I would wear regularly.
Very sweet smelling
This is one of the sexiest vanilla scents. It is perfectly sweet but not dessert sweet. It gives a little powder a little musk. Definitely full bottle worthy
This smells good to me but I wasn't wowed by it. It has decent staying power on me but it's very subtle. After a short period of time I'm not sure anyone would smell it by walking near them. I can smell it if I actually smell myself/clothes. I wouldn't purchase this but I didn't return it.
I love this scent. It’s definitely a fall/winter fragrance. It’s perfect. I love the spicy vanilla notes. It’s not sickly sweet either. The sweetness is subtle. It’s a sophisticated scent. It’s one of my favorites by far.
Love this. As a Black Opium lover. I wanted to try more niche brands. Love Initio so far. This is spicy and a little boozy at first. Then the base is sweet and musky. Which I personally like. The castoreum is there but it's not heavy at all.
I sprayed myself then instantly washed it off an changed clothes it literally smelled like chocolate like who the hell wants to smell like food smh I can't believe this was considered one of the platinum colognes definitely sending this one back
Such a warm, delicious fragrance. A subtle sexy, but not mild. Love it!
This fragrance has really nice vanilla-marshmallow notes and I love the way it smells! It just has a slightly masculine vibe to it, almost a pine sort of note coming through that makes it smell a bit like cologne to me. I think my personal taste lies more on the feminine side, so if that sounds appealing to you I would highly recommend trying this! It is a gorgeous and complex vanilla scent.
This is sexy in a bottle. If you love vanilla and musk get it. It's the best blending of the two I've had.
Very spicy, musky, animalic vanilla. Borders on smoky. I tend to favor more floral or fruity vanillas, feminine sweet scents reminiscent of pastries. The vanilla is there in this one but it is hot and dirty, very rough around the edges. This scent is so interesting to me! I think I will like it even more in the fall.
I have loved EVERYTHING initio has put out. This is an awesome fragrance- it’s very sexy.
This starts out as a marshmallow smell and then dries down on me with a powdery grandma Avon smell. At first I thought I liked it and threw away the bag it came in. The next time I used it I sprayed a little more and couldn’t stand it. I wish I could return it.
Wow! I am loving this! This is sexy and alluring and I cant wait to wear this when the weather cools down! I am loving this!
This reminds me of Maison Francis Kurkdjian "OUD SATIN MOOD" which I don't like, so it wasn't for me.
A sexy, warm vanilla - one that draws people in. The name suits it! Definitely one that I want to buy a full bottle of
Very clean and warm with a hint of bourbon.
Amazing
Whoa, Super sweet, and powdery. I can see how it is amazing for some, just not for me.
I really like this one! It's INTOXICATING..... halfway through. Begins super sweet......then there is a luscious woody/amber smell. That wears off me quickly and then it smells like marshmallows. I wish the amber/woody smell didn't fade because that's what I LOVE. This scent is so different than anything else I've ever worn.
Whenever I wear this, people comment. They love it, I love it. It's beautiful, it's refreshing, and it smells like heaven.
Beautiful vanilla! I would wear this one year round love it!
Ooh la, la! This is a sexy fragrance! On my skin, the initial blast of animalic castoreum settled down in less than five minutes into a dark, rich, purring vanilla wrapped in sleek fur and soft leather. It's creamy and luscious, a gourmand for grownups. The sillage is moderate with one spray - two sprays would fill the room. The longevity is really good. I wore it to bed last night and it's still a lovely, deep vanilla with a hint of patchouli skin scent this morning. AA is a masterfully blended, sophisticated, sensual fragrance. Definitely fbw and worth the price if intelligent perfumery is in your wheelhouse. If you're not sure, try a sample and be convinced.
Spicy amber fragrance that leans gourmand with the vanilla. Almost smells like a freshly made caramel caramel sauce with spices like cardamom added. Not quite a room filler, but definitely powerful. An intriguing unisex scent that requires a bit of confidence from the wearer.
The scent is unisex but I should’ve known it’d be too masculine for me. The scent is lovely but one I prefer to smell on a man. A woman could definitely get away wearing this but I’m the kinda girl who likes sweet/young feminine scents on myself. Although the scent is sweet it’s just a touch too masculine. I’ll probably return bc I won’t get any use of it and my bf thinks it’s too sweet for him
long lasting
This is such an intoxicating smell. This is a MUST for date nights or if you know you will be close to someone you admire.
Not for me. Super sweet, almost like cotton candy.
Seems to smell differently on me the 3 different times I worn it. Overall I like it but not my favorite.
Not for me. It smells like burning vanilla and cigars. If want huge vanilla this is it! It last on the skin forever.
The scent smells great. It’s a great confidence booster.
This, strongly, vanilla fragrance smells so different on my partner and I. Very sweet on me, musky sweet on him. We really like it!
