Initio Absolute Aphrodisiac Edp Spray 90ml

Product Information

Castoreum is a specific fragrant secretion from the castor sacs of the beaver, one of the biggest rodents who live in Europe, Asia and North America. This is an EDP and projects nicely (just over arm’s length) for the first few hours leaving a gorgeous scent trail.

This is part of the brands Carnal Blends collection, and with a name like “Psychedelic Love,” you’re probably wondering… And if you LOVE vanilla based scents, you can discover more on our best vanilla perfumes shootout (most are unisex).As far as the cotton candy mentioned many times here is concerned, yes, I too can recognise it, although for me the association of a velvety plush vanilla bed remains clearly more concise. Side Effect is a sophisticated mature scent more suited for the 25-up crowd and best worn in the cooler weather: fall/winter (avoid use in the high heat).

Psychedelic Love is more suited for the mature 20-up crowd and performs great all year (except in the high summer heat and/or humid locations). This works well all year round, except in the high summer heat: special occasions, dates, work/office safe (spray lightly), casual, nights out, etc… The recently re-formulated perfume Beaver is really more about a beaver's life and habitat than their castoreum; there is a lot of water, linden blossom, watery leaves, bitter shootings, tree juices, and just a little bit of leather notes. In addition to these fairly simple compounds, a number of nupharidinederivatives were found in castoreum, their total content is about 0.16%, including one specific compound named castoramine. It is believed that the presence of these substances is directly related to the diet of beavers: they are alkaloids' metabolites contained in yellow water lily (lat. Nuphar).A little goes a LONG way… so, be careful not to overspray… 2 sprays MAX and you’re set for about 6–8 plus hours! Later, we can also find it in much more modest quantities in Cabochar Gres, Aramis, Knize Ten, YSL Kouros, YSL Opium, Caron Yatagan, Paloma Picasso, Chanel Antaeus. Atomic Rose opens with a HUGE blast of rose with a pinch of sparkling bergamot citrus and pink pepper.

Top notes are fleeting and are only for you – think of them as the finishing touch to your glamour ritual or a little magic dust that gives you a feeling of joy and empowerment,” highlights Eva. “It’s really the heart and base notes you want to focus on to cast a spell on all around you. You may well not perceive them but others will.” Don’t go crazy with the sprays. This is definitely a “less is more” type fragrance… 1–2 sprays MAX and you’re good to go.

Don’t be put off by the name of this fragrance. This is NOT one of those traditional skanky animalic type of oud scents. This is a sophisticated, well put together scent that contains natural Indian oud oil. As the name suggests, Absolute Aphrodisiac is part of the Absolute collection. But does it live up to its name? As it settles the heliotrope creeps in… joined with a hint of sandalwood and vanilla to smooth everything out. Besides phenols, acetophenone, benzyl alcohol, benzoic acid, borneol and traces of ammonia are important components of the castoreum odor, all these substances were discovered in the first half of the 20th century. As the name suggests, this is a (unisex) rose based scent and contains a blend of natural Bulgarian rose and natural Turkish rose.
