Description
Essence & Concept
Narcotic Delight (2024) is part of Initio’s Carnal Blends collection. The concept is to evoke indulgence and desire: sweet fruit and liquor meets spice and smoke. It’s made to feel luxurious, addictive, and brimming with sensual tension.
Note Structure
Top notes: Cherry, Pink Pepper, Black Pepper — sweet, juicy cherry meets a sharp spicy kick to open the fragrance with energy.
Heart (middle): Cognac, Hedione, Rose — boozy warmth from cognac with airy floral texture and soft rose to balance the intensity.
Base notes: Tobacco, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Cedar, Patchouli — creamy, smoky, and woody foundation with vanilla sweetness and tobacco’s depth.
Evolution & Experience
On first spray, Narcotic Delight greets you with bright cherry laced with spicy pink and black pepper — it stings beautifully. As it settles, the cognac note emerges, giving a smooth boozy richness, while the rose and hedione add floral warmth and a slightly radiant lift. In later phases, the base dominates: smoky tobacco blends with vanilla, tonka, and woods for a warm, enveloping dry‑down. The fragrance transitions from sharp‑sweet and fruity to rich, warm, and slightly smoky.
Longevity & Projection
Long‑lasting: many wearers report 6‑8 hours or more on skin, and even longer on clothing. Projection is strong in the early hours; after a while it settles closer to the skin but still leaves a noticeable trail.
Best Use / Occasions
Ideal for evening wear, special occasions, or nights out. Best in cooler weather (fall/winter) when its warmth and sweetness won’t be overwhelming. Not the lightest or freshest, so daytime heat may overpower it if applied heavily.
Character & Vibe
Opulent, intense, and flirtatiously bold. Narcotic Delight strikes a balance between gourmand richness (cherry, vanilla) and smoky‑spicy masculinity (tobacco, pepper, woods). It feels luxurious, indulgent, and a bit hedonistic — for someone who wants fragrance to make a statement.
