NEW! Narcotic Delight by Initio Parfums vs. Side Effect! | WHICH IS BETTER?

[@prettythingseveryday5715]

I have just received Narcotic Delight and I am in love 😍 with it, it has some freshness, beautiful cherry and vanilla, the cognac is delightful a light tobacco, it is wow 😍.

[@pjte6748]

I have both..you can’t go wrong. High quality…both smell divine. Great vid

[@fragranceandcooking]

I love Narcotic Delight ! I am a fan!

[@Redolessence]

So glad to hear that!

Dear Steve, I always appreciate your taste in choosing fragrances for your content and not falling into making videos about crappy dupes, good job my friend. By the way, I always enjoy your descriptions of the scents and the words you choose to explain, keep up the good work :).

[@BatmanBateman.]

GREAT comparison! Love how you described the exact type of person and occasion and vibe each perfume gives off

[@gabrielmoratto9702]

My choice of fragrance for my Honey moon was Side Effect, it is such a beautyful fragrance, cant wait to smell this new one!

[@FashionFramez]

ND is heavenly in the dry down… also wasn’t impressed at first wear but it got better and better as I continue to wear it

[@quandadon5882]

I wore it last night I’m not impressed either, hopefully that’ll change as it did for you.

I own both and they are absolutely distinct enough to make it worth it. I am a big fan of basically the entirety of the hedonist and carnal collections. It is interesting though because I feel the opposite. Side Effect I feel like is much better for the club and Narcotic Delight for that more intimate experience. Narcotic Delight is a bit more masculine. It's hard to truly say though because I have not gotten to wear Narcotic Delight in a clubbing/night out style setting. It is much more gourmand and sweet where as Side Effect is more smooth and playful on my skin. Normally I don't mix two heavy fragrances, but I kind of want to try layering the two. Side Effect and Musk Therapy layer really well. Narcotic Delight and Rehab layer really well.

[@claires11]

I own both as well. I have a cold so can't smell ND properly as yet but from what I got so far I am loving ND. I will be layering SE and ND together as well. I think they'll work beautifully.

[@mirooo-h2j]

would it be appropriate to wear narcotic delight to high school? wanna impress a crush haha

[@ryananderson1887]

@@mirooo-h2j no, definitely not a school scent my man. That is a night time going out scent through and through. We talking College? Even then I’d advise against it man ND is beast mode. It has the performance of OG side effect.

[@mirooo-h2j]

@@ryananderson1887 thanks for clarifying, what would you recommend i should wear to high school, i'd assume it would have to be something lighter, and smooth. I was thinking about nishane nefs do you have experience with that one?

[@mirooo-h2j]

@@ryananderson1887 would the side effect work for school?

I blind bought side affect, & love it. I just blind bought narcotic delight, & I have a feeling I got another win with my blind buys.

You still think it's a win?

[@RonnieMorgan-fw8qj]

@@thehdcode9374. They’re both nice. But Side Affect is way better.

[@shawnejiogu2740]

Have both bottles and I can tell you te comparison he made on both are spot on. But I lean towards Narcotic slightly. Side effect 8/10 delight 8.5/10

[@jts4248]

I can't wait to try it. I just got paragon and blessed baraka. Let me tell you they are both so dam good. I also can't wait to try the new pdm

The houses quality with PDM is “Ok” at best. Much rather smell NARCOTICA DOZA / OASIS . Diaghilev.

[@Redolessence]

Thanks for watching

[@jts4248]

Pdm,initio is my favorite house they make dam good fragrance and high quality 👌

[@fatiq8297]

Would you say that Narcotic Delight is more feminine than Side Effect because of the cherry and pink pepper? I sampled Narcotic Delight and found it so addictive…definitely feminine enough for me to wear (and I’m not normally a fan of unisex or masculine scents). I’ve never smelled Side Effect though and am really curious about it. Which one smells better on a woman?

[@MrWheatle]

Great & timely comparison video . Any thoughts about whether Narcotic Delight leans masculine or feminine? I assume that the use of the cognac, tobacco and peppers take it in the masculine direction. As a fan of this House, I was already inclined to add this to my collection BUT was a tad concerned about redundancy because I have (and love) Side Effect BUT your comparison eliminated that concern. Great work as always. Thanks

[@randyr2k0]

Great review! Can you do a review on Prestige Oud by Lomani?

[@ersamirzekaj139]

A good camera!!!!!! Finally!!!😂

Do a latest top 10 since its been a lot release that it might change your past video , also a best spring 2024 fragrance

I can’t wait to get my nose on the new fragrance

[@shorts_-_kingg]

Want to buy one of those 2 as my first niche , who do you think suit a 19 year old more ? And what about their projection and longevity on new batches . Any help is appreciated

[@therealpureessence2437]

Late but this is a niche you’d use maybe a handful of times a year. Neither are daily fragrances. They’re a winter / late night fragrance. Date specifically. Not must haves but both are 10’s

[@baw285]

is the performance of ND better than side effect ? because side effect has been reformulated doesn't last more than 3 hours ...

[@nimmerzaman]

No one sips cognac with ice :) it’s not whiskey or another spirit which one can if they want to. Also you mentioned it in your review and also here, but there are no spices used in the fermentation of whiskey or cognac or rum :) in gin there are but not in these spirits. You may not drink alcohol but still good to do a bit of research :) love your reviews thou. Definitely a fan. Just some positive criticism.

Hi Steven, do you see it more feminine or masculine? Love pepper and boozy notes and dark scents 😊

[@hotelcartelradio]

It's not feminine, it's not masculine... It's plastic chemicals aged in a crack pipe. Don't blind buy.

[@ankurmittal4209]

Paragon is also nice from this house

[@danielb.1567]

ahhh cop out! you didnt say which is better! Pick a side!

[@publicnewsmetro]

Initio "Narcotic Delight" is in my # one. It's masculine, mysterious, and demands attention especially hen when worn by a confident man. Not to be ignored, it's a great smelling cologne! 🔥🔥🔥

[@pauletteyoung112]

Is Side Effect masculine?

[@Redolessence]

Not in my opinion. Totally unisex

[@hotelcartelradio]

It's plastic chemicals. Straight garbage. Just one little spray will choke you and anger people around you. It's cheap synthetic trash.

Ok. This smells like cheap designer vanilla frag. This is cloying. Congac? 0 cinnamon. 0 cherry. Where are you getting these? Guerlain Cherry Oud is full blast cherry but amazing smooth cherry. TF Tobacco Vanille is full blast cinnamon

ND just hits different. SE is great but ND took the top spot for Initio.
