Description
Side Effect fragrance opens with an intoxicating, high-energy wave of dark, vintage rum and a sharp, fiery crackle of premium cinnamon. At its core, the scent turns beautifully rich and atmospheric, pairing a deeply masculine, smoky sweet tobacco leaf with the exotic, leathery threads of precious saffron. The masterpiece achieves its legendary, long-lasting drydown by unveiling the raw, animalic, and woody facets of natural vanilla bean, perfectly smoothed out by a rich, milky baseline of fine East Indian sandalwood.
Launched in 2016 as a definitive highlight within the brand's provocative Carnal Blends collection, this luxury French unisex fragrance is designed to disrupt the senses and unleash raw attraction. Infused with a strategic overdose of Hedione—the neuroactive molecule studied for its ability to activate the brain's pleasure and proximity pathways—Side Effect stands as the ultimate, enigmatic evening composition, wrapping the wearer in an aura of undeniable, effortless seduction.
