It's a good scent, but not what I was looking for.

Phenomenal!

I enjoyed all the fragrances I sampled with this order (five total), but "Side Effect" was so phenomenal I had to buy a full bottle immediately! There's a lot of hype around this one, and Initio combines elements in creative ways that might be challenging for some. In this case, you have deep, dark woody notes coming together with vanilla's airy sweetness. For me, it was an instant, total love. I couldn't stop smelling my test patch, and while I like many different fragrances, the instant-obsession is a relatively rare experience for me. I'd also add that IMO this is a right-down-the-middle unisex fragrance; anyone can rock it. That said, if you're looking for a super-sweet, girly vanilla this might not be your jam. (I'd still say give it a whirl, though, cause you never know ...)
