I own Initio side effect, blessed Baraka, psychedelic love, Rehab, OFG, and Initio Atomic Rose. Side effect is the best, Blessed Baraka is second, distant 3rd is OFG, then Rehab, then psychedelic love and then Atomic Rose. Initio side effect and blessed Baraka do not only smell awesome, they also last the longest and seem to project the furthest on my skin. The others tend to die down into skin scents much faster than side effect and Blessed Baraka. Love these so much, I already got 6 bottles of Side effect.
This is actually my personal favorite fragrance. Signature scent for me for sure when the warm weather goes away. I call it the "Million Dollar Candy." 😂Always love your reviews bro!
I appreciate your genuine opinion. I watched several fragrance influencers review this scent and no one talked about the way the fragrance hits all at once and does not develop. Or the possibility of ISO E Super synthetic in the chemistry. Well done!
Once again, a great review. Question, I tend to like crowd pleasers and scents that arent challenging or offending. I tried a sample of OFG and the spices were a turn off for me. To narrow down my sample to do list, Are there any Initio's that are more mainstream? I pretty much only play with Kiliian, Tom Ford, Creed and PDM as I know they are usually safe bets 'Not challenging except for a few". in all actuallity I would stick with designers but I enjoy the niche quality and performance.
I own 3 from initio : 1-Rehab , 2-Oud for Greatness & 3-Side effect . Blessed Baraka is a good fragrance but slightly overrated imo. I think the opening leans more feminine but the dry down goes in the same direction as side effect to my nose. I would get absolute aphrodisiac or psychedelic love over blessed baraka.
Ya like I said it goes same direction as SE and you’re right could be more feminine. I have PL here but haven’t used it! Stoked to do that! Thanks for your feedback!
@@TroyD247Mall 👍🏾 keep up the great content bro . I always look forward for Your reviews . ( I find that PL performance is a lot better then blessed baraka as well )
I find Side Effect more fem than Blessed Baraka but I undertand its sweet character my seem not too masculine for many .In my opinion,Blessed Baraka is dark,misterious and extremely sexy .It and Lune Feline by Atelier des Ors have been my best fragrance purchases this year without a doubt.
Disagree, Absolute Aphrodesiac is basically just a vanilla desert. It's so boring, idk it's not just gourmand, it's just, vanilla. Eternal Oud by Lattafa is a good alternative imho. I also don't see the "Aphrodesiac" part and kinda criticize Initio for the same thing that's my guilty pleasure about them, the insane amount of marketing and hype which was just bad to me with AA, I thought it was fairly well written for like Mystic Experience, Divine Attraction, Blessed Baraka, it's just even the writing was a letdown on AA. I think Blessed Baraka is possibly the absolute best, followed by Side Effect and Oud for Greatness, with honourable mention to Mystic Attraction. Rehab was just ok, very Spicebomb tier. BB is just another perfect Morillas creation to me. I can't even imagine anybody cloning BB well.

Try mixing it with initio narcotic delight
Number 1 of all reviewers no competition
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I was between this one and absolute aphrodisiac
only own OFG full bottle, nice to see more from initio!
Bless Baraka and side effect are absolutely masterpieces 10/10 from initio
I own the same as you lol..., Side Effect and Rehab, the whole house is so very good, this probably my next bottle from the house.
Great review my brother! This will be in heavy rotation this fall/winter. Thanks for the shout out bro! 😄
Thank u again bro!
Nice review. You should do Absolute Aphrodisiac as well!
I’ll need a sample of that!
Finally got my nose on this one. And Immediately I thought Oajan. Very close to me.

Rehab would be the only one in my opinion but I haven’t tried PL or ARose.
Thanks, from all the reviews Rehab is the impression I get as well.
It has a similarity to Carlisle
