    I absolutely LOVE Side Effects. It's so super sexy on me.. It's also a beast in my opinion. Folks smell me wether I'm walking past or not. I am an extremely heavy sprayer though. And I also spray my clothes. Initio has some Bangers!! In addition to side effects, I own Rehab and Atomic Rose (one of Thee best rose fragrances) Absolute Aphrodisiac is nice, but my Royal Crown Sultan is very similar but better in my opinion.

    • @SimplyAyesha
      @SimplyAyesha  2 роки тому +1

      I sprayed this one moderately, so that’s probably why it wasn’t “beast” to me! I actually really enjoy scents with this type of projection! I need to get my nose on some others from the brand!

    Great review. This is one of the most complete reviews that I’ve seen since I’ve been watching fragrance-related videos.
    I really didn’t know how much I loved Side Effect until I traded it. I’ve always had a love for it but I wasn’t reaching for it much because I could never really find the right situation. After close to a year, I started feeling regret for letting it go. In fall of 2021, I started to feel like I was missing it. Finally, in October, I bought a brand new bottle for my birthday. I WILL NEVER GET RID OF THIS FRAGRANCE AGAIN!!! Lol. Again, great review. Keep up the great work. I love how you cover different categories when doing a full review. Thank you. Holla.

    Hi Ayesha, I’m glad you reviewed this fragrance. I love it! I have a sample of it, but I plan to purchase a full bottle soon and rock it this Fall/Winter. I didn’t even know I really liked boozy scents until this one. This reminds me of Kilian’s Angel Share, but I like Side Effect better.

    Ayesha, I love this series, as it is suspenseful leading up to your opinion on the fragrances. I literally wore this yesterday, so this review was right on time. I’m one of those who doesn’t care for cinnamon, but this one has a mild cinnamon scent. Glad you loved it🧡, it’s definitely a like for me because of the cinnamon. I agree it is an addictive fragrance.

    • @SimplyAyesha

    I got the pocket atomizer for my self and I'm so happy that the fragrance come with an additional mini inito free of charge.
    Also I love the scent it's like a rich gum vanila and it's not to strong and very warm.
    I'm so glad i bought it.
    For people that want this but saw the price of $343
    Thats only for the bigger bottle.
    It has many sizes in OZ the pocket atomizer is $40 and as they get smaller they'll get to 6 to $4.

    I have Initio Side Effect and i absolutely love it! It's a perfect Fall fragrance it's plummy and delicious smelling but not in gourmand way. To me it reminds me of Joop... a grown up more refined version of the old school cologne "Joop"...Side effect is less masculine more unisex leaning.
