Estimated from notes and accords. Reviews will refine this.
Side Effect opens with a heady rush of rum and cinnamon, where boozy sweetness meets a deep current of warm spice and the distinctive richness of tobacco. Saffron adds a dry, subtly leathery edge, while hedione brings some radiance to a composition that could otherwise feel extremely dense. Sandalwood gradually gives the fragrance a smoother woody foundation, allowing the darker tobacco and rum character to settle without losing their presence. The overall effect is warm, sweet and enveloping, with enough spice and wood to give its seductive boozy character structure rather than letting it become purely gourmand.
