What's is up fragrance family, have you tried this gem from Initio Parfums? What are your thoughts on this house?! Also let me know what is your TOP favorite tobacco scent of all time...
Max you hit the nail right on the head...I quite enjoy Initio Rehab it remind me of the original spice bomb by Viktor & Rolf combined with Tom Fords Tobacco Vanille,...it is spectacular. It’s blended to perfection with tremendous depth and projection unrivaled by the aforementioned. Appreciate your insight and look forward to future reviews and info.
I really enjoy this scent. After a day of wearing it out of a sample, I ended up ordering the bottle. Then I find out that the perfumer is the same guy as PdM... and now it all makes a little more sense. Considering I love Herod, Carlisle, and the Laytons... I can see a similar "DNA" with Herod, though they're definitely different. I do not get the spice bomb comparison, however.
Even if you DON'T like most tobacco-based fragrances (as I don't), you should still try this one, as it's quite different from most of the others out there. I actually don't consider this a tobacco scent at all, as on my skin it's more smooth, vanillic, and perhaps even a little citrusy. Curiously, something about this fragrance really reminds me of Frangipani by Ormonde Jane, much more so than Spicebomb or any other spice/tobacco fragrance. Rehab, Side Effect, and Absolute Aphrodesiac are my favorites from Initio, but I adore all their fragrances. Best date night/ sensual seductive fragrances on the planet as far as I'm concerned. Not as versatile as other houses, but always fantastic. Some day, when they release a few more fragrances, you'll have to do a GBUUO on this house.
I have both Rehab and Side Effects and love them both. Love this house. I believe my next purchase will be the Oud for Greatness, but the Blessed Baraka sure gets a lot of great reviews also. I don't know it's a toss up......
Niche version of Spicebomb basically. The dry down especially is much nicer, creamier I would say. Tobacco note is well balanced like Herod from PDM in that sense. Not a huge fan of Tobacco and since I like this scent, it's telling how well blended it is.
This is a great house. I have Blessed Baraka, Side effects, and Rehab. Rehab smells great and the performance is incredible. It last close to 24 hours on my skin. It is a very masculine scent. I also have Spicebomb. I would say they are 50% alike. All three of these Initio fragrances have amazing performance. I do wonder if they will do a fresh scent.
I love Initio Parfum and it is alien BEAST MODE. Thanks Max for the decant....best compliment ever ever gotten with this is “ you smell like a BAD MAN”
Tried and love Rehab. It has a great dry down. After say 30 minutes I get a whiff every now and then, as I move throughout the day, it's indirect and enjoyable. I got a decant because I have a TJ Maxx budget.
I agree this does smell like spice bomb. I do like this one as well as side effects. These don't project very well on me and lasts 5-6 hours on my skin unfortunately. Their new perfume oud for greatness is AMMMazing. You should give it a try.
I've got Rehab, Oud for G, Side Effect & just ordered Blessed Baraka. I also got the Initiation Coffret which contains Side Effect, High Frequency, Atomic Rose & Psychedelic Love. Atomic Rose my goodness, that thing is a monsterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, 14hrs & this is not an exaggeration, washed down & still caught whiffs from the jacket I wore the day before. I might be purchasing a full bottle too. My fav. from all is Oud for Greatness followed closely by Side Effect & Atomic Rose. Rehab disappears from my nose, but Its still there cos u catch whiffs, but compared to the other 3, its quiet.
Agree Man this IS a gem , it's a refined version of spicebomb extrême with a pinch of réflection man., a stunner , easy to Wear ladies love it. A blue Navy suit frag for formal or date .......
I got a sample of it and sprayed it on a test strip on Friday (mega sexy scent) and on Monday evening at the end of work after 1 spray the scent is still there it is so strong!
This is basically an expensive version of spicebomb, not as loud as spicebomb though. For some reason I hate spicebomb but like this one. I would buy it if it performed on my skin but I get only 4hrs and I’m not dropping that much bands for that mediocre performance
I've smelled this a few times in Perfumology and have loved it but I get no tobacco at all out of it, and it doesn't seem like tobacco is a listed note. Go figure! Still, it's fresh, clean, and invigorating. Very neat scent.
You keep saying tobacco... I just wonder, how do you know for sure that it's tobacco based? I can't actually find any official notes listed anywhere since Initio doesn't seem to have an official home page, and when you look at different fragrance databases some of them list tobacco and some don't. Personally I'm not sure if I can actually pick up on a tobacco smell in here or not...
I just bought 8 ml of Rehab and aside Effect. Can’t wait to try. I have Absolute Aphrodisiac and love it. Smells like a sexy gingerbread cookie with some amber and musk
I got 5 samples with my purchase from Krystal Fragrance. I love tobacco scents, rehab was in there, it was my least favorite. And as you say didn't last it faded on the strip within 2 hours, Greenley, K'abel, Percival, and Layton exclusif were going strong. Greenley was my fav. I don't get the hype maybe I have two try it on skin I'm not impressed at all.
There's no tobacco in this scent. I don't know what he's talking about. Very fresh though. I like it's smell on me the most. But my wife prefers when I wear side Effect or oud for greatness.

This is next level fragrance. I'm still breaking into my diors and profumo. I ain't ready
I bet you are ready now 😎

Thanks John, I appreciate you! Happy Holidays - wishing you and loved ones a healthy and prosperous 2019!
Thank you Max for your dedication and may 2019 bring you and yours health happiness and success
Also, had to give you props for rocking that "Bol-Ster" by Force of Nature in the background. Awesome choice of music to pair with this fragrance.
I really enjoy this scent. After a day of wearing it out of a sample, I ended up ordering the bottle.

Great review.
I have tried this fragrance. It smells great, but...
It leans feminine, at least on my skin.
Feliz Ano Novo.
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it and happy holidays to you and your family have a blessed night
Happy Holidays Michael!
Loved this video and the fragrance

thanks for your insight and feedback Brad. I hope they come up with fresher warm weather scents...

Max Forti thank you!
Great Video Max!
I loved the frag just by watching your review!! Well done. It is worth a shot!
Great review Max. Happy holidays. Regards from Mexico.
Happy Holidays Sergio!
I love Initio Parfum and it is alien BEAST MODE. Thanks Max for the decant....best compliment ever ever gotten with this is “ you smell like a BAD MAN”
Hey Max. Just got a 10 ml decant of Rehab. Incredible juice. Saving for full bottle
Tried and love Rehab. It has a great dry down. After say 30 minutes I get a whiff every now and then, as I move throughout the day, it's indirect and enjoyable. I got a decant because I have a TJ Maxx budget.
You n most of the world
I agree this does smell like spice bomb. I do like this one as well as side effects. These don't project very well on me and lasts 5-6 hours on my skin unfortunately. Their new perfume oud for greatness is AMMMazing. You should give it a try.
Thanks Daniel, I will most definitely try to get a bottle of oud for greatness!
I've got Rehab, Oud for G, Side Effect & just ordered Blessed Baraka.

Completely agree!
Smelled this one at Osswald, it's really good, but I enjoyed Blessed Baraka even more!
mwpahl38 BB or side effects?
Never tried anything from this house.need to get my nose on the ones you mentioned !
It's a fresher, creamier, higher quality version of Spicebomb. It's not necessarily flat out better though. They're both great.
I got a sample of it and sprayed it on a test strip on Friday (mega sexy scent) and on Monday evening at the end of work after 1 spray the scent is still there it is so strong!
Addendum after 2 months I could still smell the scent very slightly 2 months !!!
Do you think is better than Naxos?
Initio and nishane
What’s ur top 2 big compliment magnet from each house
Tks maxforti
Does Initio have a summer fragrance
Musk Therapy
I have this one and side effect. Both are 5 star for sure.
Carl Trommetter Wich seems more mature for you brother?
Love your reviews Max ; about to blind buy , Initio owes you a commission lol.
This is basically an expensive version of spicebomb, not as loud as spicebomb though. For some reason I hate spicebomb but like this one. I would buy it if it performed on my skin but I get only 4hrs and I’m not dropping that much bands for that mediocre performance

Definetly not bad but id suggest it not as a date scent
Probably the best smelling scent I have.. Lovely.. But.. It doesn't last!! Such a shame, especially at the price...
I got 5 samples with my purchase from Krystal Fragrance. I love tobacco scents, rehab was in there, it was my least favorite. And as you say didn't last it faded on the strip within 2 hours, Greenley, K'abel, Percival, and Layton exclusif were going strong. Greenley was my fav.

Love your intro

I find rehab very masculine and sweet...not realy unisex in my opinion.i don' understand why peoples say that is fresh and clean...i don't like it
Good max
I got spicebomb for grown ups vibes
This smells amazing, like spice bomb on crack
There's no tobacco in this scent. I don't know what he's talking about. Very fresh though. I like it's smell on me the most. But my wife prefers when I wear side Effect or oud for greatness.
???
This house is very good. Quality is obvious on first whiff of every single scent.
I don’t get any spice or tobacco with this one. Just vanilla.
Smells nothing like Herod. Spicebomb clone tho...
Smells fit on a women
No tobacco at all !
tobacco scents give me a headache, :(
