The Scent Experience

Side Effect opens with a heady rush of boozy rum and spiced cinnamon that feels like the first sip of a perfectly crafted cocktail. The heart unfolds into a rich, smoky tobacco and vanilla accord — warm, sensual, and deeply intoxicating. The base of leather, vetiver, and Ambroxan anchors everything into a sophisticated, skin-melting finish that is equal parts dangerous and irresistible.
