    Dear Steve, I always appreciate your taste in choosing fragrances for your content and not falling into making videos about crappy dupes, good job my friend. By the way, I always enjoy your descriptions of the scents and the words you choose to explain, keep up the good work :).

    I own both and they are absolutely distinct enough to make it worth it. I am a big fan of basically the entirety of the hedonist and carnal collections. It is interesting though because I feel the opposite. Side Effect I feel like is much better for the club and Narcotic Delight for that more intimate experience. Narcotic Delight is a bit more masculine. It's hard to truly say though because I have not gotten to wear Narcotic Delight in a clubbing/night out style setting. It is much more gourmand and sweet where as Side Effect is more smooth and playful on my skin. Normally I don't mix two heavy fragrances, but I kind of want to try layering the two. Side Effect and Musk Therapy layer really well. Narcotic Delight and Rehab layer really well.

    Would you say that Narcotic Delight is more feminine than Side Effect because of the cherry and pink pepper? I sampled Narcotic Delight and found it so addictive…definitely feminine enough for me to wear (and I’m not normally a fan of unisex or masculine scents). I’ve never smelled Side Effect though and am really curious about it. Which one smells better on a woman?

    Great & timely comparison video . Any thoughts about whether Narcotic Delight leans masculine or feminine? I assume that the use of the cognac, tobacco and peppers take it in the masculine direction. As a fan of this House, I was already inclined to add this to my collection BUT was a tad concerned about redundancy because I have (and love) Side Effect BUT your comparison eliminated that concern. Great work as always. Thanks

    No one sips cognac with ice :) it’s not whiskey or another spirit which one can if they want to. Also you mentioned it in your review and also here, but there are no spices used in the fermentation of whiskey or cognac or rum :) in gin there are but not in these spirits. You may not drink alcohol but still good to do a bit of research :) love your reviews thou. Definitely a fan. Just some positive criticism.
