Intense Addiction

To Buy or Not to Buy?

Look, Addictive Vibration is expensive. If you want a very close approximation, this isn't it. But for around $20, Intense Addiction offers a serviceable, sweet, and inoffensive fragrance. It captures the *vibe* of the original, if not the complexity. If you just want a cheap thrill that smells vaguely like honeyed fruit, this is a solid budget pick. It’s a "good enough" scent for casual wear and a safe blind buy for those curious about the Initio fragrance DNA.

Notes & Nuances

Intense Addiction opens with a pleasant, slightly tart apple blossom. It's brighter and less nuanced than Addictive Vibration’s initial fruitiness, maybe 85% similar at this stage. The orange blossom is present, but plays a supporting role. The heart leans heavily into the honey note, which is where the clone deviates. It's a simpler, more linear honey compared to the original's complex sweetness. The drydown is a basic vanilla musk, a little synthetic, but passable. It lacks the smooth, almost creamy quality of the Initio fragrance.

How Long Does it Last?

Longevity is surprisingly decent . I get about 5-6 hours on skin, with moderate projection for the first hour. It becomes a skin scent fairly quickly after that. Don't expect beast mode.
