Nice patchouli based scent but seems a bit redundant and does not stand out from many designer based offerings, most closely Spicebomb. The perfume opens with fresh notes of bergamot and lavender. It proceeds to a heart of vetiver, cedar and a prominent patchouli. It settles into a powdery base of sandalwood, guaiac and synthetic musk. Unisex with good projection, sillage and a pleasing projection. However completely not worth its premium pricing unless you want to own a fairly mediocre scent in a nice bottle. Enjoy!

As somebody who has gone through 2 bottles of Spicebomb, this is a ridiculously expensive Spicebomb. Slight, slight difference in the drydown. Definitely disappointed.

One of the most beautiful boxes and bottle Ive seen so far.
Absolute top notch quality, true niche presentation right here. (Unlike creed for example)
Scent:
This is pretty much a clone of Spicebomb extreme. I couldnt believe it first but I tested them side-by-side and they are near identical both in smell and performance.
Spicebomb extreme is 1/4 of the price and as I said, pretty much the same fragrance.
However, the Initio bottle is absolutely stunning.

I get a Spice Bomb vibe but it’s so creamy and it’s sweet too. I mostly pick up the tobacco and lavender notes. It’s basically Spice Bomb x TF Tobacco Vanille x Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme. Very nice! Ive been wearing this to work and maybe I shouldn’t have. I’m joking! Lol! It’s cool for work but I don’t think it should be your first option unless you’re just feeling like that guy or that girl on that day. Otherwise, this may not be the best scent for work. It’s a little too alluring for the work environment. To each their own. I would def categorize this one UNISEX! This is one of those frags that smells nice on a woman but smells insane on a man. Especially on a man who is clean but not too metrosexual like myself lol. ( Overall Rating: 8.5 / 10 )

This could be called unique only by those who didn’t try MAC Velvet Teddy and Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille.

The notes are wrong here. Correct notes are :- Bergamot, lavender, tobacco, cedar, patchouli, gaiac, sandalwood, musk and vanilla.
Start off really nice like a grassy perfume with a hint of spice and freshness. You can smell bit of tobacco from the start and later smooth tobacco can be felt til the end.
Sprayed 4 sprays of it and I noticed someone following me. I started walking slow to confirm and she walked to me and said that I have been following you for that smell.
Again, it is a perfume that you put on and you will be followed while walking 🙂
Great performance also. Projection is moderate while sitting in a closed room but you do leave a perfume bubble trail/wake till 10 feet while walking . Ordered 2 more bottles to have as a backup !!

This fragrance is absolutely gorgeous. However, for the price ($330), the scent fades in an hour. I ordered two samples to really test the longetivity and I’m disappointed to say that it doesn’t last. For this price, I suggest purchasing Tom Fords tobacco vanille, which is strikingly similar. I may still end up purchasing this one. The first 30 minutes you detect sweet syrupy and sugary notes, but this is not cloying or headache inducing. Then the sweetness slowly fades and you can really smell lavender and vetiver towards the end. Overall, it’s a well rounded fragrance.

Bol bol sandal ağacının etrafına biraz paçuli biraz da lavanta eklenip vetiver ile de derinleştirmeyi amaç edinmiş ancak ortaya garip ve aşırı tatlı saçma bir aromatik ortaya çıkmış. Tatlılık az olsa belki daha iyi olabilir. Pahalı malzeme kullanan bir designer olmaktan öteye gitmeyen bir parfüm olmuş. Fiyat konusunda 2-3 yıllık markaların bu fiyatları istemeleri ise tek kelimeyle saçmalık olmuş. Genel beğeniye uygun, performanslı bir parfüm. Baharatlı aromatikler hoşunuza gidiyor tatlılık da sıkmıyorsa denenebilir. Bvlgari Man in Black, Spice Bomb sevenler bunu da sever.

For some reason, it feels like spending a free afternoon on a very expensive cloud.
Sadly, it does not last.

Fantastic,wonderful,there is nothing like it,aphrodisiac effect more,do not decide without trial,

Absolutely gorgeous scent. Tobacco, vanilla, and patch. Somewhat harder to find in the USA but you can order it from overseas and it is definitely worth your money!
The note breakdown on Fragrantica isn’t even close. I don’t know who filled out this page but they messed up badly. The listed notes are tobacco, vanilla, patch, and lavender.

Absolutely beautiful! Definitely unisex, warm and sweet and yet crisp. Opening can be a bit more masculine for some females, but still very sexy and inviting! Longevity is beyond 8 hours. Silage is moderate, but I personally prefer it that way.
