A unisex Eau de Parfum built on an enveloping boozy, tobacco-laced accord, designed for anyone who loves a fragrance that gets noticed without compromise, with a warm, magnetic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Fragrance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Side Effect — literally \"side effect\" — hints at what this fragrance triggers in the person wearing it and in those who notice it: an awakening of emotions and passions that usually stay hidden. The brand presents it as the fragrance of the unspeakable, where passion and emotion are laid bare, unfiltered. It's a direct, tactile take on the sensuality that defines the Carnal Blends collection, expressed here not in a floral key but in an amber, spicy, boozy guise, with an almost late-night-lounge character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Evolves on Skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening is a warm burst of rum and cinnamon, a boozy accord reminiscent of a cocktail sipped on a winter evening. The heart reveals the fragrance's pulsing soul: tobacco turns dense and enveloping, saffron adds a slightly bitter, precious nuance, while Hedione widens the composition's breath and amplifies its projection, keeping the blend from ever feeling heavy. In the base, vanilla becomes the absolute protagonist, supported by sandalwood, which lends softness and persistence: this is the stage where Side Effect turns into a warm, sweet, enveloping trail that can stay on the skin for many hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho We Recommend Side Effect To\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide Effect is the ideal choice for anyone who loves amber, boozy fragrances with a strong but never excessive character, and for those looking for a more tactile, smoky alternative to classic vanilla gourmands. It's a genuinely unisex fragrance, perfect for anyone who wants to leave a precise impression of themselves without resorting to predictable compositions. Ideal for autumn and winter evenings, when its warm, enveloping character reaches its fullest expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFragrance Characteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eIntensity\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e★★★★☆\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eLongevity\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e★★★★☆\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSillage\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e★★★★☆\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGender\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eUnisex\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur Opinion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/chi-siamo\"\u003eboutique\u003c\/a\u003e, Side Effect is one of the Initio fragrances we often recommend to people looking for something different from the usual florals or woods: its rum, tobacco and vanilla accord has an almost cinematic character, evoking a smoky lounge and a glass of aged rum from the very first minutes. It's a strongly characterized fragrance, equally suited to everyday wear for anyone who loves standing out and to more polished evening occasions, and it stands out within the Initio lineup for its more boozy, tactile soul compared to the maison's more floral chapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSimilar Fragrances\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/notorious-xo\"\u003eNotorious XO, M.
