It's the easiest way to explore Initio Parfums Privés' range — from boozy orientals to skin-close musks — before committing to a full bottle of any one of them. What's Inside Musk Therapy (2021) — a velvety, skin-close musk built on bergamot and mandarin over white sandalwood and layered musks. Side Effect (2016) — a boozy, tobacco-laced oriental of rum, cinnamon and saffron over a smoky tobacco-sandalwood base. Oud For Greatness (2018) — a spicy, resinous oud built on saffron, nutmeg and lavender over agarwood, patchouli and musk. Absolute Aphrodisiac (2015) — an oriental-spicy blend of vanilla, amber and castoreum with leather and white flowers, by perfumer Alexandra Kosinski. Rehab (2018) — a dry, lavender-led fougère of cedar, vetiver and patchouli, resting on sandalwood and guaiac wood. Narcotic Delight (2024) — a boozy cherry blend of black pepper and cognac over a tobacco-vanilla-tonka drydown. Oud for Happiness (2021) — a bright, spicy oud of ginger and bergamot over licorice, agarwood and vanilla.
