INITIO PARFUMS PRIVÉS - Blessed Baraka - 3.04 Fl Oz - Eau De Parfum Unisex - Main notes White Flowers, Amber, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Musk - 90ml

Product Information

Blessed Baraka is an absolute showstopper. The scent to me is the embodiment of masculinity in a bottle – mysterious and highly intoxicating. John Ibrahim Longevity and Projection I guess we'll see how it transitions but so far, it smells incredible. I like it more than Side Effect and differs quite a bit as it begins to dry down but I do agree with the reviewer below that it absolutely does smell similar to Side Effect when you first spray it.

I tried this again in the summer. I do really really like this. However, sometimes all I smell from the little sample I have left is just a pencil shaving musk. I also feel like I have to overspray this one to get people to notice. For the price of this I’m sad to say I moved on to better fragrances that could be a signature scent. It then calms down to create a gorgeous scent bubble around you and lasts an impressive 7–10 plus hours. This is super long lasting! Atomic Rose is an EDP and jumps off your skin for the first few hours (up to 6 feet) leaving a gorgeous scent trail.

It’s unquestionably a beast mode fragrance. The projection is mind-blowing as well as the fact it has ridiculous longevity of 12+ hours. It’s warm, sweet (but not too sweet), sexy and inviting. And attracts a LOT of positive attention. (Not complaining!) The fragrances come in beautiful bottles that have a soft rubber-like texture coating, adhered with their logo on the front (the name of each fragrance is engraved on the top of the cap). The brand’s name and name of the scent are engraved on the top of the cap.

Psychedelic Love opens up with a burst of myrrh mixed with some florals (ylang-ylang) to give you a sweet resinous floral vibe. What this perfume does reminds me of, is the fantastic drydown on certain Xerjoff perfumes, such as Accento Overdose… maybe that’s why other reviewers detect something fruity in it… note which I believe comes from the amazing Amber chosen for this perfume… it’s also very reminiscent of Psychedelic Love, also from Initio, just without the accord from the Ylang-Ylang.

The overall composition is somewhat dark, extremely seductive and alluring, best suited for date nights but can be worn casually throughout the day if you’re looking to portray a more mysterious or sensual vibe. I don’t find this very playful or youthful... certainly not your Versace Eros or Ultra Male, this is a more mature scent, something you’d more likely smell on someone a bit more cultured, perhaps while traveling through Prague or Milan, a lounge in NYC or Montreal, or even at a concert or opera, whether you are the spectator or on the stage.

I am a musk lover and I've wanted to test this perfume since it came out. I wanted to find out what all the hype was about. followed with a hint of smoky guaiac wood, some fruity earthy patchouli and a pinch of vanilla sweetness. Rehab is part of Initio’s Hedonist collection (white bottles). This was a project to source super high quality natural ingredients to create a nearly all natural luxurious blend.This scent is like nothing else out there. Even not a close dupe to it on a market, It's bold, it's daring, and it's so different from your typical Musk scents.
