I've officially smelled the whole house and my favorites are 1: Blessed Baraka 2: Side Effect 3: Absolute Aphrodisiac 4: Attomic Rose 5: high Frequency 6: oud for greatness. OFG was higher and its lovely , but I get a church smell and now I can't unsmell it :(

I have recently bought a few initio fragrances - Oud for Greatness, Side Effect and Blessed Barakka (in that order). I completely get what you mean about OFG, I think it's incredible but I just don't reach for it as much as the others. I actually think blessed barakka is my favourite at the moment.
@rottenrebels2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for sharing! Oud For Greatness (to me) is an epic perfume, and it's truly a luxurious and incredibly well made oud perfume, but I need to be in the mood for it's beast mode and unique personality. Even though all Initios have something truly unique about them, some are more sort of versatile than Oud For Greatness.. Thus me reaching for some of them a bit more often. 😊 Blessed Baraka is really nice, love it and it's actually quite versatile. 👍😊🙏

Great overview and list. Thanks 🙏 It’s my favourite house. Rehab was my first full bottle. Love it. I got decants of most of their other fragrances and my favourite list is very difficult to compile. But I agree with you that I’m an aphrodisiac addict. My favourite vanilla and it’s touch of edginess is sublime. Next for me is psychedelic love. So unique for me and it got me comfortable wearing white florals. The myrrh is delicious. Next would be aide effect. I started off thinking it was just okay, but after wearing it out a few times I was hooked and keep craving. Next is either high frequency or musk therapy. HF needed a couple wears before I got it, but damn It Is an attention grabber. My favourite almond for sure. MT has a great blueberry note and great longevity - not sure about a Fb yet. Still testing. OFG I’m mixed about. Really liked it to start with, but I compare the saffron note too much to alternatives and I don’t seem to reach for it that often. Atomic rose I had trouble looking. There is a note that dominates it for me. Blessed Barraka I need more wears. First couple tunes were okay, but nothing to motivate me. When Is the best time / environment to enjoy this in?
@rottenrebels2 жыл бұрын
Hi! Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏And many thanks for sharing! There are many fantastic scents from this house.. OFG is a unique one and it's probably the strongest attention grabber from Initio.. I love it 😊 High Frequency is definitely a unique almond scent and it's different to Parfums de Marlys Pegasus and to the epic men's collection from Guerlain (L'homme Ideal). I love Atomic Rose.. It's one of my fragrances for life (together with AA and OFG) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldp4nM9_msrWd3U.html and it's one of FEW rose scents that I think is good enough (for me). Blessed Baraka is quite cool, and I think it's quite overlooked.. I use it to both casual occasions as well as more formal ones. Think it works just as well as a date night/going out fragrance as with a suit and tie to formal events. 👌

I've been intrigued by this house for quite some time. I own several stellar clones (in my opinion) after getting my nose on the originals....Oud for Greatness/Glory--Infini Musk/Therapy--Side Effect/Aftermath/After Effect--Paragon/Vintage Radio.(VERY Good one). But I really feel the need to own at least One original fragrance, preferably one that isn't readily available as a clone. I've sampled Absolute Aphrodesiac....and MAN that thing is Beautiful and the dry down/skin scent is delicious. High Frequency and Pegasus come off the same....like Haltane and Oud For Greatness. I'm wondering which you would recommend Absolute or Blessed as a first offering.....and which is the better performer? Oooops...nevermind Absolute made the top spot. Thanks....do you pick up a hint of Althair or vice versa since the Initio predates???

I ain't like the rest of them ;) While taste is subjective, and while Oud for greatness is truly amazing.. It can't touch some of the other ones from Initio in terms of compliments, likeability and versatility. I gave Oud for greatness a Perfect 10 as a rating, and it's a masterpiece, but it's nothing I would use often and it's not as versatile as others in the collection nor do other people around me enjoy it as much as they do some of the other ones in the collection :) Thanks for your support! Really appreciate it! :)

Great top 10, tomorrow I'm getting the Carnal Blends discovery set from Initio, I bought it only for Side Effect but now I'm also curious about Absolute Aphrodisiac. Unfortunately this one is not part of any discovery set, I guess I have to order a sample from somewhere else. Have a great evening.

@@rottenrebels I certainly did 😎 You wouldn't believe me if I told you that the one I like the most is actually Atomic Rose 😎 Side effect would be second but it also has a side effect on my skin developing a chemical scent I cannot stand - heavier fragrances react like that on my skin. I also loved Psychedelic Love which strangely enough (or not, sister house) smells like PDM Herod without the Tobacco - this is how it came across for me, pretty close scentwise. With Higher Frequency happened the same as with Side Effect. I like them all but I can only wear 2. I'll get the Atomic Rose next, it is really Atomic. Thanks

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Oh that's SUCH a tough choice to make 😆 LOVE them both! And they are quite different and I recommend BOTH! :) But if I absolutely had to make a decision.. It would be Herod. There's just something insanely unique, alluring and sexy about Herod that I simply can't be without. So I'm addicted to both.. But LOVE Herod a bit more. ❤️ Compliment wise I think Herod might actually pull in a bit more than side effect. But both are enjoyed by women!
