TOP TEN Initio Fragrances - RANKED! Fall and Winter Long Lasting Perfumes

I agree that Blessed Baraka is slept on for ladies

[@VeronicaSays]

Absolutely 💯

[@HollyAllen-tq6jc]

YES ‘Atomic Rose’💕…the 2nd niche fragrance I bought and I love it! At 54 I found niche and oh the rabbit hole (and cash deficit😘) I find myself in!

[@patr70]

Initio "Atomic Rose" and Tom Ford "Rose Prick" are my all-time favorite Rose fragrances. 10/10 🔥

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Holly! 💖 Atomic Rose hooked me into this house. My wallet cried. 😂

[@scentedtemptation]

PARAGON is MAGICAL! Plum is not overpowering but it's there. Palo Santo and Sage are the notes that set Paragon apart from other 2 from the line for me. It literally transports me into a serene peaceful state of crystals, enchantment and magic :))) it is gorgeous perfume. The one you didn't mention that I own is High Frequency. It's not as popular as others but I absolutely adore it. Gorgeous white floral-sweet scent. Very feminine and beautiful. But my N1 is Side Effect. Nothing can bit the sexiness of it :)))

[@VeronicaSays]

I'm so glad you love Paragon! Wonderful! 🎉 High Frequency is lovely too! 🥰🥰🥰

[@katherinesr]

I love how offended and funny you are at the lack of compliments from coworkers😂

[@VeronicaSays]

😂😂😂

[@EWinGVL]

I just get a kick out of your candidness...is that a word? 😂. I don't have any Initio fragrances, but maybe one day. Atomic Rose is on my wishlist. Thanks for a great video 🫶

[@VeronicaSays]

Yes, it's a word and thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰

[@Greeni3B]

Psychedelic Love & Musk Therapy are at the top of my fragrance wish list. Keeping an eye out for that Jomashop sale, then I’m going to pounce!

[@patr70]

I buy from 5 different discount websites. Jomashop and FragranceNet have the largest inventory but their prices can *sometimes* be significantly higher than other discounters.

[@VeronicaSays]

Thanks for sharing! Come on, Jomashop! 💖💖💖

[@Alexis78907]

Hi Veronica. You always make me laugh when you talk about not getting compliments from your coworkers 😂. But I get it!

[@VeronicaSays]

😂😂😂 I'm so thirsty.

[@Tatiperez78]

Vero I agree with you on the Atomic Rose that was my first Initio. Now I wish I would have purchased Paragon instead of Musk Therapy. I sampled Paragon and I fell in love with it. Btw I blind bought Narcotic Delight at first I wasn’t sure but then I fell in love.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hey Tati! I had the same experience with Narcotic Delight. I sampled it, thought it was okay. Bought a travel spray and it really grew on me! 🥰💖 Paragon surprised me in the same way.

[@lvvl1005]

Atomic Rose and Absolute Aphrodisiac are my two favorites ❤ I agree about Kayali Pink Pepper having a similar feel. I got a decant of Narcotic Delight and I like the scent, but I like it more on my husband than on myself.

[@VeronicaSays]

Yes, Narcotic Delight would smell lovely on a man! Thanks for sharing! 💖🥰

[@clarebrad6002]

Same, atomic rose, love the performance. Absolute aphrodisiac sits close but is so addictive. Just got ofg but gave to husband and side affect to my son, I just can’t pull them off. Love musk therapy and narcotic, need to get those. Atomic rose I’ll always have, my skins like leather so strength is fab. I might try and layer ofg and see if I can wear it.

[@fionaH101]

Your colleagues need to get with it Veronica! 😂 I'm with you on Musk Therapy, Side Effect and Atomic Rose ❤ I've got decants of those, but the prices put me off testing any more Initio fragrances 😂

[@VeronicaSays]

I've got my full travel spray of Musk Therapy ready for compliments this week! And yes, these prices are insane. Yikes! 😵‍💫😂

[@AdrianaSLeal]

@@VeronicaSaysI just got a travel spray of musc therapy. I’m in love. My 15 year old daughter complimented me right away and wanted to know what I was wearing. I quickly let her know this one is mine and not for sharing. 😅

[@loribreitbarth2215]

Thank you for making me laugh…‘I’m not going to walk up and demand someone smell me….more than twice’ 😂. Great review and making me want an Initio fragrance. On sales though….definitely on sale 😮

[@VeronicaSays]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm waiting on that Jomashop sale! Come on, Jomashop! 😊😊😊

[@publicnewsmetro]

Initio "Narcotic Delight" is in my top 2. It's masculine, mysterious, and demands feminine attention (of course not all females are the same) when worn by a confident man! Not to be ignored, it's a great smelling cologne! 🔥🔥🔥

[@VeronicaSays]

Glad you love it! Love your owl avatar! 🦉

[@publicnewsmetro]

@@VeronicaSays Thx, the owl is often associated with wisdom, knowledge, and insight in various cultures. They are also seen as symbols of mystery and intuition...

[@tawnycannata603]

Thank you so much for this review. This is by far my favorite perfume house. I had first heard about psychedelic love and i went into Neiman Marcus because I knew they had the testers and they have fantastic fragrance specialist who took me through the line and let me try on and then we did a comparison about what worked best with my body chemistry and I wound up getting atomic rose as my first fragrance since then I’ve added, musk therapy and narcotic delight. I love that they now have hair perfume as well. This brand does it right you don’t smell like anybody else addicted vibration is on my list for the fall

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank you! How lovely that the sales rep took you through the collection in a personalized way. Love that! Yes, the hair mists are a great way for people to experience these unique scents without the big price tag of the perfume bottles. 🎉🎉🎉

[@SuzanDalen]

You are on fire. Love the review and that you started with your top choice rather than the other way around. Thanks for starting off with talking about the DNA of fragrances which is key to understand when evaluating any perfume houses - I learned this the hard way. BTW, appreciating your natural lash makeup look. Safe travels on your business trip and… make them smell you 😊

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank you soooo much! 🥰💖 Yes, not all house DNAs work for everyone. I got my Musk Therapy travel spray topped up and ready to slay! Fingers crossed 🤞

[@jillshorten3457]

Hey Veronica! 😘 Yep Atomic Rose deserves to be your #1 - it’s glorious ❤️🌹 I just ordered a second decant of Psychedelic Love; trying to understand the hype, and sometimes it takes me a couple tries 🤷‍♀️Thanks for the mid-week surprise vid 🎉🎉

[@christinayoussef7482]

Same here I adoreeeeee Atomic Rose but I still didn’t get any uniqueness in psychedelic love even with a big big discounts I sometimes find it around 140 150$ but I still not feel it enough to own it

[@tmonique11]

Agreed, I don't get the obsession with Psychedelic Love or Absolute Aphrodisiac. They are nice but not special enough for me.

[@patr70]

I don't really care for Psychedelic Love either.. too much Heliotrope. Or Musk Therapy(to me itust smells like Dove bar soap) but I like almost everything else from Initio.

[@VeronicaSays]

Thanks, Jill! 🥰💖 I didn't get Psychedelic Love on the first few tries. I still don't think it's mind blowing (very little is), but I love its easy going girly loveliness. I feel like walking cashmere when I wear it. 🥰🥰🥰

[@anadanaya]

I also have Atomic Rose and I love it! What gets me is the dry down....so amazing sexy and comforting at the same time. Love it and I also get a lot of compliments from my colleagues at work (yes, I wear it at work) lol .

You are BOLD to wear Atomic Rose to work! 😯 I'm sure you smell completely intoxicating. Gorgeous fragrance! 💖💖💖

[@Alexis78907]

My fav that I've tried from this house is Absolute Aphrodisiac. I haven't bought a full bottle yet because A) so expensive, and B) unfortunately no one is cuddling up with me to really put this lusciously seductive vanilla to good use LOL. I may be showing my age, but when I was a little girl I used to have a doll (was it a strawberry shortcake one? Hmm) and when you squeezed her she would let out a scent out of her mouth like she was exhaling. Anyway, that is what I think of when I smell Atomic Rose and Delina. I am a rose girl but for me Atomic Rose is a little too strong for my liking. I do also love Blessed Baraka!

[@VeronicaSays]

I hear you! 🥰 I remember the Strawberry Shortcake doll (LOVED HER) but don't remember her exhaling... wonder if she did? The smell of her little hair was DIVINE! Atomic Rose is definitely STRONG!

[@AndraAndra-u7y]

Musk Therapy is the only one I tried and loved it. I got it at a good discount. This was today's scent of the day

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing! 🥰🥰🥰

💖💖💖 You have to love Alien to enjoy it! I don't remember if you do or don't. Worth trying! It's super strong.

[@pinkiemtengenya6744]

I’ve only tried very few fragrances from this house🤔🤔. I will say Atomic Rose blew my head off when I tested in 2021🤯😩. I love Absolute Aphrodisiac but I don’t have a full bottle yet😍😍. I also love Narcotic Delight and I’ll pick it up during our next winter if the price is right😍😍. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰

☕️🥯❤ This is a house that works so well for me, I love almost everything from them! I agree, the rose in AR is the same style of rose that is in sweet diamond! 💗 Love Absolute Aphrodisiac, love Psychedelic Love, Narcotic Delight, so many great ones! Blessed Baraka is one of the perfumes I got my mom to sniff in our video together and she absolutely loved it! To me it smells so much like root beer! (Which I do enjoy) 😊 The only one I don't like is Rehab, the cloves (or what I perceived as incredibly concentrated cloves) and intense lavender knocked me out Lol 😅 Definitely one of my favourite houses! Magnetic Blend 7 is actually on my wishlist, love it 😍 Your descriptions were ON POINT!👌🏻 Great video, girl! 🫶🏻🥰

Thank you, friend! 💖🥰☕️🎉 I'm ready for a bottle of Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper, finally! But I don't think it's sold on Sephora anymore. Hrmph! I remember your mom trying Blessed Baraka - so sweet! 🥰💖🥰💖 I'd love to try that Magnetic Blend No 7 - thank you for bringing that one up. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Veronica! I love Iniito & own 7 bottles! A little obsessed! I would love to add Addictive Vibration to my collection & although I appreciate Atomic Rose for what it is - I never did end up purchasing it. My favourites are Musk Therapy, Absolute Aphrodisiac & Psychadelic Love - my least favourite from my small collection? Narcotic Delight. Thanks for this video :) can't wait to see what they release next.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Mira! 💖🥰 Seven is a LOT of bottles! 😯 What were your thoughts on Narcotic Delight? Curious why you disliked it.

[@mirasscentbubble]

@@VeronicaSays i didn’t like the way the boozy notes & tobacco blended together - I felt it should have smelled better than it does given the notes. I wish it was a bit more femme to me it’s a tad too masculine & may be lacking some oomph. Not sure really - I got it last winter & Will give it a few more wears when the colder weather comes - if I still feel the same way I may have to part with it ♥️

[@VeronicaSays]

@@mirasscentbubble I can totally understand! I do find it somewhat masculine.

Initio. Has to be one of my top loved fragrance houses. Side Effect was the first most expensive bottle I have purchased and the first bottle my husband and I share. So far I/we have Side Effect, Musk Therapy, Rehab, Psychedelic Love, High Frequency and my favorite - Absolute Aphrodisiac. Why don’t I have Atomic Rose?! I need her in my life, like ASAP! I have always waited until it went in sell so I can’t wait until I can get my hands on her. I do believe the price is right bc hubby and I can share most from this house and it is LONG lasting!

[@VeronicaSays]

Hey Leilani! 💖 I agree - so many from this house can be shared with the significant other. I'm hoping Jomashop will do another big Initio sale before the year ends so you can get your Atomic Rose! 💯💯💯

Initio is in my top 3 fragrance house. I LOVE most of their fragrances. Psychedilic love is my number one but the whole hedonist collection is a love. I own all of it. Absolute aphrodisiac and Blessed baraka are loves too. The vanilla in it got me in a choke hold. Oud for greatness is a favorite too. I surprisingly don't find it clawing. I even wear it to work sometimes. My coworkers love it. I only do 4 or 5 sprays though. I really love Rehab because it's so unique and suitable for all occasions and seasons. I didn't get the hype for Musk therapy, i was so confused why everybody was raving about it. I finished the 10ml still not getting it. But this summer I radomly used 2 samples i found in a cabinet and it was soooo good. After a year, I finally get it. Initio is more affordable here in France than the US.

[@VeronicaSays]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these! 💖🥰 I'd love for the whole line to be more affordable here.

[@salwahazem]

I have decants from this house.. Atomic Rose, never dared to have a full wear, it's a pow that hit me on the first spray that I wasn't prepared for, still I appreciate the artistic creation. I have Delina on the other hand, yes it's tart, but in the air it's delicate, brings me compliments like no other, people step into the room I am in and say what smells so good... me 💃 Absloute Aphrodisiac, is my one and only perfume that has an animalic side that I can detect, I have a mixed reaction to it, wore it couple of times, not scary but not safe 😅 Had Side Effect as well, but passed it on to a guy friend, felt it's more on the masculine side, definitely appreciate it's mysteriousness.

Hi Miss Veronica! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Absolute Aphrodisiac. I wrote off even trying it long ago bc I saw leather and I thought, "absolutely not" bc I don't like leather, not even a little bit, in my frags. I don't get ANY leather in AA. I don't really get anything animalic either. That little beaver just doesn't show up and show out for me but I hear others say that he does so ?? All I know is that it's stinking gorgeous. I thought it would be a heavy hitter just due to the notes, etc. and I was surprised to find that it actually wears a little bit lighter than I would have liked. I don't care, it's so good. I own Maison Alghabra King Of Flowers which smells nearly identical to AA and that one is a beast!! I don't layer bc there would be no point...AA would get lost under KOF. So I just wear KOF when I'm going somewhere that I want people to smell me coming from a mile away 😂. Anyway, TYSM for another amazing video from my favorite KZbinr...Chris at the Perfume Nest, Sharida and Jax Beautiful You coming in close behind you. 😊

[@VeronicaSays]

Awww thank you soooo much, Jackie! 🥰💖 I agree that Absolute Aphrodisiac, though long lasting, is a softer wearing perfume. I think that's part of the allure - you have to come in a bit closer for this one. 🥰 Thanks for sharing King of Flowers as a more projecting alternative! 🎉

[@tmonique11]

I adore Initio - like its one of my favorite houses. I bought the travel size coffret set at first to try out the range. Oud for Greatness was my first and is still one of my top 10 for life fragrances. I also have and simply love Atomic Rose. I layer them together and its absolutely electric together. No one can resist it. I get so many compliments when I wear them together. Also, Narcotic Delight is my most recent buy and its incredible especially for cooler weather. So sexy and warm! I also have Paragon, which I seem to wear the most, but love to layer it with a woody peach scent like Chloe Nomade or Jimmy Choo I Want Choo. That one pairs really well with a body wash by Cremo called Palo Santo. I also have Musk Therapy, which took me some time to really fall in love with. It seemed too simple and light for my usual preference (I'm an Erba Pura stan so you know I like it loud 😂). But I took it on a winter cabin trip and it cut through the cold weather and stood out in a big way. I had to get a full bottle after that trip. Now, I am waiting for a good deal on Addictive Vibration and my collection is complete. I just crave honey dominant fragrances and that one does it for me! C'mon Jomashop! I'm waiting patiently!!!

[@VeronicaSays]

Yes, come on, Jomashop! We're waiting! Thanks for much for sharing these great combos. They sound AMAZING! 💖💖💖 I LOVE Cremo's Palo Santo fragrance. Husband wears it and it's always a win! 🎉

[@playsintraffic2]

I don't have any but would be interested in getting a sample of a few. At that price, I'm going to have to love it.

[@VeronicaSays]

I totally understand! Thanks for watching 🥰🥰🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@dianamonstruito5238]

I got a compliment wearing Musk Therapy, just once 😂 Very nice ranking but I can't take my eyes off your amazing ring, the big round one, I love it 😍 Could you tell me where it is from? Thanks a lot!

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank you so much! 💖💖💖 I love a fun cocktail ring. I purchased it from TJ Maxx.

[@jenniferburton1395]

The only 2 perfumes I get compliments on every time I wear them out are Mon Guerlain and Billy Eilish 😆but I know I’m smelling 💯 100% of the time!!!

[@VeronicaSays]

Maybe I will wear those to the next event! 😆😆😆

Love the review and ranking. I only own Atomic rose and narcotic delight. I would like to add one or two more in the future

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank you! Those are two great ones to own. 💖💖💖

[@susanhaong4685]

Hi Veronica! Love your review on Initio Perfumes. If you are a new being of own of an Initio fragrances. It's best to try PSYCHEDELIC LOVE💖 🥰before you are going to buy ATOMIC ROSE..it's a super nuclear strong.🤔 By the way! Voronica I feel the same way too about my coworker smelling my perfume too. I want to get close them and give them a hug. 😁🤭🤣

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Susan! 💖 I agree - Psychedelic Love is easier to start with than Atomic Rose. Hug those coworkers! I'm sure you smell GREAT! 🥰

[@joelladoobrow2817]

I am still testing this line. Love musk therapy and would love a full bottle if at a good price but it’s just ridiculous expensive and they piss me off because in Europe they are cheaper by almost 80-100 less depending on the country and this is directly from their site. I emailed them about it and they pretty much said they price differently and won’t match or anything. Best solution I found was buying at a store that will ship international but then you need to add shipping costs. So waiting for great sale in USA. I love Rehab but it’s not something I want to wear often but it is a very spa like and relaxing scent. I am doing decants of them for now as this way I get to experience them without the full price tag.

[@VeronicaSays]

The good news is that decants can go a long way for this house because they are usually so strong! Whew! 😂 The pricing difference is a bit maddening.

[@rosedesulme9870]

Musk Therapy is my only Initio perfume. I have a decant of blessed Baraka loves it. I just added on my wish list

[@VeronicaSays]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing! 💖💖💖

[@neciajax]

I do water therapy whenever I'm on vacay at the beaches lol. Very relaxing. So I'm sure in a dimly lit room i would enjoy it even more.

[@VeronicaSays]

I'm looking forward to it! 🥰🥰🥰

[@jaezianmae]

Hi V! I always enjoy your variety. I’m asking my hubby for a bottle of either psychedelic love or absolute aphrodisiac for Christmas. I love both but which do you think is more versatile for a sweet lover? ❤

[@sweetpeace5]

You need both 😅 PL day AA night Sorry 😂

[@jaezianmae]

@@sweetpeace5 Lol my stocking will be full this year!

[@VeronicaSays]

I have to agree with @sweetpeace5! 😂 However if you had to choose one I think the safer bet is Psychedelic Love although it's among the softer end of the lineup.

[@RosinaGutiérrez-Riojas]

Thank you, very precise description of each fragrance….have you tried a color analysis? I used to love orange and then I learned I was totally wrong. Love your rings!

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank you so much!

[@dianadavid4250]

I love this perfume house. I love almost everything except Atomic Rose which I cannot stand. I seem to have a problem with Roses in perfumes 🤣. I do not seem to like them. I have a lot on my wishlist from Initio. i have travel sprays of almost all you mentioned, i also love high frequency. By the way speaking about compliments on perfumes I have a work colleague which always sniffs me when we meet in the office. and always asks what I wear🤣. And one time i was in the airport waiting in queue for security check and a lady came after me asking me what i wear. I was wearing Chloe Nomade.

[@VeronicaSays]

I used to stay away from rose fragrances in the past but have really grown to love a bunch of rose-foreard scents. 🥰 I love the story of the coworker who does a daily sniff check in! Too cute! 💖💖💖

[@sweetsimpleslowlife2709]

Hi beautiful 🌹 I will admit I was not surprised to hear that Atomic Rose is your number one 😍 After I got a chance to try it in the store, it went to the top of my wishlist for rose-centric fragrances. Musk Therapy is my also one of the fragrances I want to own one day. I actually saw these in a hair perfume version so that might happen first as a budget friendly option 😉 Which fragrances remind you of Musk Therapy? I’m curious about your opinion 🤗🥰

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi lovely! 💖 Atomic Rose is a baddie for sure. 😂 Musk Therapy.. nothing quite the same, but Yin Transformation and Montblanc Signature have similar vibes.

[@sweetsimpleslowlife2709]

@VeronicaSays thank you so much for the suggestions. I'll have to revisit Signature because the one time I tried it, it didn't sit right with me 😂maybe I should give it another chance! So many love this fragrance.

[@jessicatrimn3296]

High Frequency and Oud for happiness deserve some love. High frequency does remind me of absolute aphrodisiac (slightly) but she can definitely hold it down. To me Oud for happiness leans slightly masculine to some ladies but I don’t think so. The ginger and citrusy nature makes it unisex to my nose. Now Paragon is a different kind of beast. To me, you need to really spray yourself down good in order to determine if it’s full bottle worthy. (I can send you a 10 or 15 ml decant so you can test it because that fragrance is pricey 💸💸). Shoot me a sm if you’re interested. My favorite combo as soon as it’s super cold is Oud for Greatness with Atomic Rose on top. Talk about snapping necks, causing a ruckus 😂😂

[@VeronicaSays]

I definitely need to try your combo! 💖💖💖 That sounds amazing. Thank you so much for your offer on Paragon. I ended up purchasing it after I posted this video, so it's on the way to me. I think someone else had a layering combo in the comments - maybe it was Oud for Greatness with Absolute Aphrodisiac????

[@jraysunrise]

Oud for greatness for some reason smells like ameer al ouhd to me. Idk if i’m tripping but i have both bottles 😂 side by side they smell the same if not 95% because OFG is blended better and def used high end ingredients. But hey for ameer al ouhd $15 why not 😅

[@VeronicaSays]

Hey, if they smell alike to you and you're looking to save the money, why not? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Golden__Betty]

I feel you on the compliments though 😂😂😂. Your coworkers are tripping. They know you smell good. I layered atomic rose with psychedelic love for a family event last week. I was so offended only 2 people complimented me 😂😂😂

[@VeronicaSays]

I mean, why are people so stingy with compliments?! 😆😆😆 I don't understand. That combo sounds fabulous!

[@chrisab3217]

Veronica 😍 love the look today ..... Narcotic Delight went from decant to fb , 1st and only Initio thus far 💕 not a huge tobacco fan , so shocking this was added so quickly, but haven't really used it yet as it feels like a cold weather scent 💯 Musk therapy is nice , and a maybe at some point ..... personal experience, Absolute Aphrodisiac is extra animalic imo not in the background , but front and center like a punch in the face 😂

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Chris! Thank youuuuu! 🥰 I agree ND is very cold weather appropriate. 👍🏻 Sorry to hear AA feels so animalic to you! 😯😵‍💫

[@chrisab3217]

@@VeronicaSays I would tell anyone to proceed with caution on that one 😂 our perception to scents , just like taste are so unique , although I have heard a couple other reviewers have a similar experience ... just like in Blanche Bete , I get a ton of tuberose , not a note I usually enjoy I don't really hear a lot of reviewers talk about that note being super prominent , but it's super forward to my nose 🙄

[@natalyk.1296]

Of course, you want another bottle to round up the collection. 😅 That's what I tell myself... I've just revisited Paragon, but it pulls really masculine on me. Hydrotherapy is the real thing, yes

[@VeronicaSays]

Any excuse to shop more 🤣🤣🤣

[@allisonbotts8532]

Thanks Veronica! 🤞on the compliments. I like Psychedelic Love, it's an easy reach. But it didn't WOW me.

Hi Veronica, I really enjoy all your videos. Which one do you think it’s stronger atomic rose or Addictive Vibration. Is addictive vibration a winter scent?

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank you so much! 💖💖💖 I think they are BOTH super strong. Addictive Vibration would be best worn in cool weather in my opinion.

[@almatoledo1608]

I have dupes of many of the ones reviewed, Verónica. No full bottles yet! Good 🌄 Paragon, never tried it and now post-review very intrigued. Thank you and great day. Also the offering which you describe as very girly!

Hi Alma! 💖🥰 Which ones are you favorite dupes?

[@almatoledo1608]

@VeronicaSays Similar to you: Blessed Baraka (comforting!!!), Atomic Rose, side effect, and a hybrid of Psychedelic Love with Montale Intense Cafe :) Finally, I also do enjoy Addictive Vibrations (not as sweet as Blessed Baraka).
