Releases
DNA over time
Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
All fragrances
Side Effect
Side Effect opens with a bracing rush of rum and tobacco absolute, dense and almost syrupy in its sweetness.
Oud for Greatness
Oud for Greatness opens with a sharp, medicinal lavender laced with saffron's leathery sweetness and a dusty spice rasp from nutmeg.
Rehab
Rehab opens with a bracing rush of lavender and bergamot that feels almost medicinal in its clarity, like walking into a traditional barbershop where the air still holds traces of tonic and steam.
Absolute Aphrodisiac
Absolute Aphrodisiac opens with a sheer, radiant musk that seems to hover just above the skin—clean but unmistakably carnal, like warm breath on bare shoulders.
Atomic Rose
The opening is almost shockingly direct: pink pepper snaps against bergamot's brightness, then steps aside for Bulgarian rose that arrives with full-throated intensity.
Paragon
Paragon opens with sage, lavender, and bergamot in close alignment — three clean, aromatic notes each contributing a different kind of freshness.
Psychedelic Love
**Psychedelic Love** opens with ylang-ylang's creamy, almost narcotic sweetness, tempered by a brief flash of bergamot that quickly dissolves.
Blessed Baraka
The opening is a blur of radiant sandalwood and musk, bright and almost translucent, like incense smoke catching afternoon light.
Musk Therapy
The opening is deceptively quiet—a pale, almost translucent musk that feels scrubbed clean rather than animalic.
Narcotic Delight
Narcotic Delight opens with a sharp burst of black and pink pepper that feels less like kitchen spice and more like crushed peppercorns warmed in the palm—immediate, skin-tingling, slightly numbing.
Oud for Greatness Neo
Addictive Vibration
**Addictive Vibration** opens with an immediate rush of honeyed sweetness—orange blossom drenched in vanilla, so thick it feels almost edible.
Mystic Experience
Oud for Happiness
Initio's 2021 offering opens with a bright jolt of ginger and bergamot that quickly gives way to something warmer and more grounded.
High Frequency
High Frequency opens with a shock of almond and heliotrope, sweet but not sugary, like marzipan dusted with something darker.
