NEW INITIO PARFUMS NARCOTIC DELIGHT FIRST IMPRESSIONS & REVIEW! BETTER than Side Effect??

[@leslieperdue9006]

I just ordered this fragrance yesterday. I can’t wait to wear it. Of course, it is a blind buy for me however, I love the House of Initio. I have Side Effect, Atomic Rose, Psychedelic Love, High Frequency, Addictive Vibration and Musk Therapy. Great review.

[@Chris6815]

I have a 10 ml of it and it’s alright. I ended up not liking it enough to get a full bottle. I really haven’t tried any Initio that I like enough to get a bottle of. I only tried like 4 of them. I ended up getting a huge compliment wearing this today from a pretty woman. I think that I changed my mind 😂😂😂😂

[@Civilian_Patriot]

Were you let down? I sure was. It smells so synthetic

[@jts4248]

@iron_gts2255 Absolutely not I love pdm,initio my favorite house. Which one are you talking about cause I don't get no synthetic buddy

[@Civilian_Patriot]

@@jts4248 Narcotic Delight, the one in the title of the video. It’s crap. Synthetic mess on me. Side Effect and Rehab were good.

[@mattd5121]

Its so good. the dry down is heavenly.. and this smells better with every wear

[@36Danman]

🎉🎉🎉 Bought this today very masculine smell smells amazing j love love love it

[@ohmyfragrance]

Can’t wait to try a sample! Hope this will be in either Maxaroma or Jomashop or other discounters in the future because the price right now is 💸💸💸

[@FractalSky]

I work for INITIO (BA) .. and ya nailed it girl!! Love your vids.

[@SP79GB]

Need to give this a try asap. I liked Side Effect but something about it stopped me from wearing it a lot, same with Rehab. I'd like to get Musk Therapy, Paragon and Narcotic Delight next.

[@mrreliable2220]

The price tag definitely does not help. I barely use side effect or narcotic delight or even angel share, but when the special moment comes, i over spray for sure.

I got a 10 ml sample of Narcotic Delight the other day. I really like it. It smells great to me. I wouldn’t pay what I’m seeing it go for at the moment. I will wait for it to come to discounters.

[@mrreliable2220]

I have never seen an initio fragrance go at a discount outside of Christmas gift sets.

[@terriblytough]

CRISP.CLEAN.STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. LOVE THE WAY YOU BREAK THINGS DOWN SO ACCURATE. GREAT REFERENCE I HAVE TO TRY. SUBBED FOR SURE. I BELIEVE IN THE VISION

[@SamGoody718]

Great video Erica. My favorite scent from initio is between Musk Therapy and Blessed Baraka. I love Side Effect as well but it’s more of a situational fragrance to me.

[@awolf913]

Blessed Baraka is incredible!

[@quizzle3225]

I just tried it and it is definitely an instant hit! Does get a bit more of a sweet tobacco on the dry down. Super good

[@traybrook]

I really love watching your reviews lately. I love your passion for certain fragrances. Like, when you love a fragrance YOU LOVE HHHHHARD!!! I got a 10ml decant of this a few days ago. This fragrance is sooooo dope!!! I’d like to have a full bottle of this once the prices come down. Great review. Holla 🫡 😊

[@viod8650]

If you do not mind sharing where did you buy the decant been wanting to get one as well

[@TheLK157]

I’ve only smelled 5 but every single one has been so good

[@scottsmith6235]

Just got the sample and WHOA! Amazing scent almost as good as Side Effect

[@ЕленаПанкевич-л5э]

Hi! I tested it yesterday. How clearly you described it👍 I agree 100%.

[@AN_unAVERAGEJOE]

I want to try this one really bad. Thank you for sharing your thoughts !! Great review

[@Amir76fresno]

Hello dear Erica, amazing review indeed, I am paitiently waiting for the release of this scent in here, thx a lot fir sharing your knowledge and thoughts. Wishing you a lovely and chill Sunday. Cheers ❤️🤍❤️❄️❄️❄️

[@sergiosauceda3513]

I love your reviews on fragrances. Thank you.

[@sandymcconnell1969]

Great review Erica. I'm patiently waiting for the UK release but will probably get a decant first before picking up a full bottle in Autumn. It's clearly a cold weather fragrance so logic tells me it should have been released in September, not end January, with Spring just around the corner and thus limited opportunities to wear over forthcoming months. I absolutely love Initio though and this sounds like it will rival Rehab as my current favourite.

[@nenafrances5051]

Not wanting to enable spending on perfume! But… in the UK escentual has 25%off on Initio, and when you buy any initio perfume, they are offering a 10ml of Narcotic Delight as a gift with purchase while stocks last…

[@kerenkozi6307]

I finally got a sample of it and its absolutely delicious 😋 I love the booziness , the mix of sweet and smoky spicy of it, it’s totally unisex, it’s a a fragrance to wear with your little black dress or a leather/sued jacket 💜🖤💜🖤

[@Shadesof]

It definitely needs to warm up on the skin to see the beauty

[@jamesmarchetti3286]

Very interesting and unique blend and seems one of a kind !! Android possibly be a signature scent by descriptions but price could be a consideration and may hopefully still end up a good value ???

[@mikeg2538]

Erica. This scent is just so conservative and non polar. I went through a ton of Guerlain samples and these are similar. Csn you try Guerlain Feve Gourmande? It has a cacao note that is creamy. It is not milk chocolate or dark chocolate. Also Cherry Oud has a round cherry note that is very unisex. BDK Vanille Leather is very robust with very very nice vanilla. I loved the iris root or orris coming out a little. Also there is pink pepper that gives it a nice touch.

[@UmiDaaa]

Blond hair is your signature stylish look 💓

[@adamlewis1620]

Side effect didn’t mesh well with my chemistry but I got a decant of this and ordered it after date night a couple weeks ago

[@knuf22]

Love narcotic delight ❤

[@Tatiperez78]

Erica I do agree that this is one that needs to be sampled. I blind bought it and I am still playing with it see how I feel about it. I feel like it leans more masculine. But I don’t want to give up on it yet. I will continue to wear it see how I like it for me. It is absolutely beautiful but I wonder if I like it on my dude more. 😂

[@bubsyburgess7581]

Good review but honestly all I get from this fragrance is dirty ashtray. I don’t understand why anyone would put tobacco in a perfume. But then I don’t understand why people smoke cigarettes. I love Initio fragrances but this one is a big fail for me.

[@shininngg]

What kind of person do you imagine wearing this? And how many sprays would you recommend for narcotic delight/side effect for a night out?

[@SaintQuentinC]

No wonder nobody appreciates HIGH FREQUENCY. For me is the best Initio offers besides Oud for greatness

[@jts4248]

Blessed Baraka and paragon is fire

[@brandonl6626]

Something about Smoking Hot was off for me also. Opening is incredible but something about the drydown isn't good for me. Maybe I'd like this better. I like Side Effect but a little overly sweet.

[@richieBZ]

Thank you for this review Erica! This sounds interesting and I hope it will available in Germany soon. I haven’t smelled this or „Side Effect“, but both sound interesting and now I‘m torn which one to choose. 🙈😆 Maybe I find some samples. One question: What is your opinion on „Amouage“ scents? Especially „Interlude Man“? To be honest they are beyond the border I am willing to spend for a fragrance. But they seem to be very good, so I would love to hear what you think about them. Wish you and everyone watching this video a nice sunday. Greetings from Germany, Julian

[@rrion1984]

Bought it in pre order, trying it from Friday. Lovely tobacco fragrance BUT simply it doesn't last and it doesn't project at all. And I mean AT ALL. After 1hr its a skin scent, after 6hrs completely gone. I really hope it will gain strength with air oxidation, at the moment strongly regret 250€...

[@eauderica]

Wow that’s really odd, that wasn’t my experience at all with the scent

[@rrion1984]

@@eauderica that's it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Strictlybusiness79]

If you had to choose Herod or Narcotic Delight, which do you reach for?

[@roberthuston917]

Erica, good review. My signatures are Side Effect, Naxos and Green Irish Tweed (yes, a bit eclectic). Although you are quite younger I value your insight as I deal with multiple generations in my practice. That being said I would appreciate your comments, and possibly review, of Amouage Interlude Black Iris. I like it and it seems to appeal to the 35+ ladies but I am not sure that I am getting honest feedback!

[@curiousgeorge2421]

im not surprise about your opening reaction. because its very similar reaction you gave to side effect... after all they have similar notes

[@ramoneregal8317]

I have Montales Infinity and Attar Collections Khaltat Night so I may give it a pass as I don't need all all cherry tobacco scents in the world loool.I will get Blessed Baraka however

[@RKB007516684]

I have this on the way.

[@mikemontgomery5755]

Love your approach.. The option driven simps are gag worthy

[@Thursdaysaretheworst]

I know Erica wore at least 40 sprays

[@CologneTalkWithCris]

If it were up to you what are u picking? This or Apple brandy on the rocks

[@eauderica]

For a man, Apple brandy on the rocks is a must! This is too polarizing, you need to try a sample first before you decide. But I am a sucker for Apple brandy on the rocks.

[@CologneTalkWithCris]

@@eauderica ever since you started talking about it (apple brandy on the rocks) I’ve been very interested in getting it! Thank you. Love the videos.

[@imlal0]

Initio Side effect vs Xerjoff Via Cavour 1

[@CaptainHanneman]

This is similar to side effect but more colorful and with more tobacco and booze. Not necessarily better though imo

[@jts4248]

First lol! I'm going to blind buy this one and the new pdm. Erica you are right about narcotic delight so dam good

[@salvadortorres7016]

Does it contain Pheromones'?

[@Cjay2323]

Is that for men or women?

[@linon222]

can side effect work in summer nights?

[@eauderica]

I believe so!

[@chrischio86]

If it's crazy humid, I wouldn't recommend it. Even keeping it to 1-2 sprays side effect will cling to the humidity and become cloying. If it's a cooler summer night around 80ish with little to no humidity, you'll be safe with 2 sprays on your pulse points on your neck because the heat will make you sweat and push the scent out just enough. Wear what you love no matter when or when people say it's for. Just test out how it works on your skin in different situations and adjust sprays from there. Excellent taste, though 👌. While everyone else is wearing some blue fragrance, you will absolutely stand out.

[@Jbos201179]

Got a sample today, it's quite a generic cherry scent to me, could have been a designer

[@shorts_-_kingg]

This or side effect (new batches) , this will be my first niche please help

[@eauderica]

You need to try a sample or decant of both ❤️

[@eauderica]

But I prefer this over side effect

[@jasona4853]

Ok Erica. I fell for the first minute thinking it was good. After hours I came to conclusion it smelled spoiled and cheap vanilla like fake even. I thought the cherry note would show up. There is almost no tobacco. Cheap vanilla is 90% of this frag. Please revisit and analyze. Do you really love the smell? Side effect was good.

[@ItsTheCak]

This is my favorite from Initio. I don't get tobacco at all which I'm thankful for. Side Effect is great too, hard to decide which is better but I'd lean more towards this one.

[@jasona4853]

@@ItsTheCak Gotcha. Ok Ive tried many decants and trying to think up a better than Narcotic D. Tried Vanille Havane, Guerlain Cherry Oud, or 1 of the other Guerlain Vanillas?

[@mohamadlotfi8424]

❤❤❤

[@Civilian_Patriot]

I got a sample of this from LuckyScent as I was excited as well… it’s crap. It’s very synthetic smelling up close on skin. I hope you don’t have a link for this fragrance bc people will be so let down…

[@branbosage2330]

I completely disagree. I bought this about a month ago and cannot stop smelling myself anytime I wear it. I’ve had cheap synthetic smelling with vanilla and boozy scents before. I gave them up. This is nothing like that super well balanced, and a beast on performance.

[@m.boss.]

[@DanielBrown-nj3th]

So for women only? That’s to bad.

[@eauderica]

No! Completely unisex leaving alittle masc because of the tobacco
