Side Effect is one of the most hyped niche fragrances on the market and I’m surprised it’s taken me this long to review it, but it’s not like there was a need for any rush as this scent is pure disappointment in a bottle. The scent is revolved around what can only be described as one of the cheapest rum accords I’ve ever come across - it smells overly sweet and plasticky which could be as a result of the saffron and hedione, but shouldn’t if it was done well. The tobacco and cinnamon are supposed to add a dry spiciness to the scent but instead just make it smell even more of a mess. The quality here is abysmal, how they can charge so much money for such a poor scent is beyond me. I wouldn’t go as far to say it’s revolting, but it’s definitely unpleasant and I have no idea why there’s so much hype surrounding this.
