Opening is warm, sweet, and floral with the aromatic and metallic twinge of saffron.
Once this starts to settle the boozy rum becomes clearer with a subtle spice, smooth woods and tobacco.
It's cosy, pleasant and perfectly wearable, but not sure about the intense hype it gets.
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.
