Shady Valley — Initio Side Effect Impression

Rum and cinnamon open it boozy and warm, with saffron adding a leathery spice. Tobacco takes over the heart, sweet rather than smoky, and vanilla and sandalwood settle it into a creamy, glowing finish. It's a late-night fragrance, plain and simple.

Initio Parfums Privés released Side Effect in 2016, built around a harmony of tobacco, vanilla, rum, and cinnamon.
