Overview

Not a body spray or an eau de toilette, Side Effect from Initio Parfums Prives is listed as a parfum. It is made in France and comes in a mid-size bottle.

A parfum label points to a stronger concentration made for wear on skin. Scent notes, wear time and spray type are all missing from the listing, which makes a blind purchase risky.

Who it's for

Fragrance wearers replacing a bottle they already know. Newcomers to the scent should test a sample first, as the listing does not describe it.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Made in France
Cons
  • Scent notes not listed
  • Wear time not stated
  • No details on what is in the box

Performance notes

Concentration governs how strongly and how long a fragrance projects, and a parfum falls at the strong end. Skin type and climate shape the rest, and the listing gives no wear figure to go on.
