CANDY FLIP

I’ve worn the original Initio Side Effect, and Candy Flip is every bit as impressive. To my nose, it’s absolutely the same — rich, warm, and intoxicating. If there’s any difference in the opening or dry-down, I honestly can’t detect it. The scent profile matches perfectly, yet it costs around ten times less than the original.

For anyone who loves Side Effect but doesn’t want to pay the luxury price, Candy Flip is a no-brainer.

Earlier I used it then it was not very long lasting . Then I shook the bottle and kept it in the dark for a month and half to macerate it ..after that when I sprayed the bottle it was just love

A really alluring combo of sweet grape syrup mixed with boozy rum that is enhanced by cinnamon and a dash of Tobacco
You'd smell like a walking club/bar, that opening note is just urban hedonism in a bottle

But when it settles down a little, then saffron introduces itself and wraps around the whole scent profile taking it from a hedonistic rush to an alluring comfort

Insane projection and potency too, just 4-5 sprays and it'll be a room filler
But it lasts for maximum 1-2 hours on clothes and skin

If it had monstrous performance just like some other perfumes from this house then it would've been a complete slam dunk

Still one of my favourite profiles from this house
