About this deal

This works well all year round, except in the high summer heat: special occasions, dates, work/office safe (spray lightly), casual, nights out, etc…

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. It is also sometimes added to food, like vanilla ice-cream: a microquantity of castoreum significantly enriches the flavor of vanilla. Absolute Aphrodisiac is more suited for the mature 25-up crowd and best worn in cool weather: fall & winter (avoid use in the high heat). Initio Parfums Prives are a fairly new French luxury niche perfume house that are making waves in the fragrance community. Very often castoreum is blended with styrax, guaiacol, Peruvian balsam, and cedar essential oil. A usual companion is also isobutyl quinoline (a leather smell).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. As the name suggests, Absolute Aphrodisiac is part of the Absolute collection. But does it live up to its name? This is part of the brands Carnal Blends collection, and with a name like “Psychedelic Love,” you’re probably wondering…

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). So the presence of castoreum in some flowers is quite obvious; most often castoreum can be found in the smell of carnation, mimosa, and orchids. If you like that type of fragrance, then I think you are going to LOVE Rehab. That said, as Rehab dries down it takes its very own intoxicating direction… The scent of castoreum depends on the beaver diet. Bevears are vegans, they eat tree bark and tree shootings. European beavers prefer birch, aspen, willow, poplar, and some herbaceous plants, like water lilies, cattail, reed. It is believed that a specific "smoked" aspect of castoreum could be obtained after drying it above the open fire or after "aging". For perfume purposes, alcoholic tinctures, resinoids and absolutes are prepared from sacs dried and crushed into small pieces.Castoreum used to be a common note in luxe fragrances, but now we smell it only in niche: Amouage Memoir, Beloved and Fate, Mona di Orio Cuir, Nishane Afrika Olifant, Mark Buxton Sexual Healing, Kinski, Serge Lutens Baptême du Feu, One of Those Sulphur [16S], Les Liquides Imaginaires Saltus. 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.” As it settles the heliotrope creeps in… joined with a hint of sandalwood and vanilla to smooth everything out. Well, when it comes to creating fragrances Initio are not messing about trying to recreate scents that trigger emotions linked to your childhood or remind you of certain places and times etc…

Atomic Rose opens with a HUGE blast of rose with a pinch of sparkling bergamot citrus and pink pepper. Now, as it dries down… some creamy vanilla and cinnamon morph with the rum and tobacco to leave you with a gorgeous smooth creamy sweet boozy tobacco scent. Dark, Rich & Sexy Sweet 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. Performance is excellent. Blessed Baraka is an EDP and projects just over arm’s length for about 1.5 to 3 hours leaving a nice scent trail… At the moment, we know about 60 compounds forming the smell of castoreum. Phenols play an important role in it, imparting a characteristic smoky facet which is sometimes described as medicinal. A smell of phenol or carbolic acid is known to everyone who has at least once opened a jar with a gouache paint. Gouache smells like phenol, it is added to the paint as an aseptic component to protect it from bacteria (the base of gouache paint is a wonderfully nutrient medium for many microorganisms).
