Scentonym Analysis
Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
Is it Worth It?
Absolutely. This is widely considered the definitive clone of Initio Side Effect. It captures the boozy, cinnamon-vanilla DNA with 95% accuracy but amplifies the performance to beast mode levels.
How it Smells
It opens with a blast of boozy rum and sweet tobacco, immediately enveloping you in a warm, intoxicating cloud. The cinnamon adds a spicy kick that cuts through the sweetness. Compared to the Fragrance World version (which is thinner), French Avenue's take is deep, rich, and resinous. It dries down to a luxurious vanilla-sandalwood that smells ultra-premium.
Longevity & Projection
Nuclear. Expect 8-10+ hours on skin and days on clothes. It fills a room and leaves a massive sillage trail. Go easy on the trigger.
