Hi Demi! last week I purchased 3 designer fragrances (coco mademoiselle prive, a la folie tresor and lancome eclat for my mom as a Christmas gift) because we had a massive discount -50% in Greece. And now you made me buy 2 samples from initio (absolute aphrodisiac and Atomic rose) ahhh can't wait! love your aesthetic in perfumes. they all do have some character! well done! love from Athens!!!!
oud for greatness and absolute aphrodisiac, and addictive vibrations are my fav from initio! although it’s so hard to choose because they’re all sooo good and the quality is ALWAYS on point
I recently bought a sample of oud for greatness and it is pretty great, and I agree, it's very likable for an oud fragrance, I tend not to like many oud fragrances but this one is much more pleasant.
Very nice! I have a full bottle of Oud for Greatness, and have/had samples of Rehab, Blessed Baraka, and Side Effect. I was actually smelling the sample of Side Effect before watching this video. Thanks for sharing your list, Demi 😊
It is definitely a good scent, but it’s by far and away the simplest of the line and the most generic smelling. IMO, you can substitute Rehab for something like spice bomb extreme
I discovered House De marly because of Demi!..I got herod, Pegasus and Layton which I never regret buying them and now she's taking me to Initio House too!😅...frankly she has extensively knowledge in fragrance world!
Thank you so much for telling us which ones are man, woman, unisex. It helps us so much. I don't want to smell like a woman when I get the sample. Thanks!
Hey Demi, I just want to thank you so much for turning me onto this fragrance house! I had never even heard of many niche fragrances before I started watching your channel, and the other day, I saw a video of you talking about your love of Musk Therapy. I ordered a sample of it and WOW, completely obsessed is an understatement. I immediately bought both Musk Therapy and Rehab and can't WAIT to get them. Thanks again!
beautiful video! I smelled on the store Rehab and OFG, was shocked how good they smelled and than shocked from the price....but should give them a second chance for sure...
I'm really loving the idea of having a few Niche Brand scents just to be a little more unique in my circle. You have to do your current Top 5 Niche Brand fragrances for Men giving your top 3 picks of each. I love how you describe the fragrances in your videos.
Because of your previous vid on woman killer fragrances I already bought Blessed Baraka 🙌 thank you Demi! It's a beautiful fragrance and it's perfect for this season! 🍂
Love the list, Demi. There goes my "perfume buying sabbatical"...need to add Atomic Rose, Absolute Aphrodisiac and Blessed Baraka to my Initio collection. The struggle is so real... Anyway, you look fantastic. Great list as always!
Psychedelic Love and Absolute Aphrodisiac are my favorite Initio parfums! I need to sample some of the others. Don't care for Side Effects and Rehab. Me and Oud aren't friends. Enjoyed this video!
I was just thinking about a new video and it came up. Wonderful review as always. I really want to get atomic rose and oud for greatness for my fiance. Christmas is coming.
I fell in love with Oud for Greatness a few days ago, so I purchased a bottle. It arrives today along with a bottle of Black Phantom. I oughta try side effect and absolute aphrodisiac soon. Thanks for the recommendations❤🙏🏼
Absolute Aphrodisiac came out the gate stomping. I loved it!! the warm vanilla was GREAT 😍 and then the leather kicked in strong and 40 minutes later I was disappointed. Addictive Vibration - super nice. I couldn’t stop smelling my arm. Although it’s Autumn I kept thinking Spring because of the florals. I finally settled really liking it and wanting to smell this on a woman. It would keep my nose buried in her neck nibbling around her collarbone. Side Effect- that’s the MVP for me Fall & Winter so far .
I am so lucky to have 3 perfumes from this house oud for greatness my favorite. The second one is side effect I love it and the last one is magnetic blend 1 and planning to buy Atomic rose soon 😊😊
I really wanna try rehab, side effect and blessed baraka... i recently received a Magnetic Blend 1 as a gift (i believe it is the one you mention not liking), tried layering it with a few options as i don’t like it on it’s own, I found that it generally works better with woody fragrances, my favorite is layering it with Emporio Armani Diamonds Black Carat (men’s)... i find it takes it to a whole different level. Thanks for a very informative video as always !
Fantastic video! I’ve got a few from the house. My faves are Side Effect and Rehab. Thinking to get either Blessed Baracka or Absolute Aphrodisiac next which one do you think I should get?
Hey Demi! Thanks for the video. You are the reason I have...Rehab, Blessed Baraka, Absolute Aphrodisiac, Side Effect, Atomic Rose and of course the best of the best...Oud for Greatness! Will be adding more soon!
Great review. I too am a big fan of this House & this is the week of Initio for me. I recently purchased Rehab & cannot wait to receive and wear this offering from Initio! I finally reached for Initio this week after a foray into freshies during the warm weather. I began with Blessed Baraka, which I purchased in May but never wore. Today & tomorrow it’s all about my love, Oud for Greatness. Friday will be dedicated to Side Effect & hopefully I’ll be sporting Rehab on Saturday!
I bought a 2ml sample of side effect and it smells like walking into a tobacco shop where you buy loose leaf tobacco for pipes. After the scent sits on your skin, it smells pretty good! I will test it out and wear it to work.
@@angelgavilanes o Side effect eu não provei ainda, mais o absolute fica pura baunilha na minha pele, só no final que fica mais amadeirado puxando para o masculino mais é questão de pele né, vale a pena você testar na sua pele
bought initio oud for greatness n im head over heels in love with it😘😘😘. It smells like rich person to me. To me atomic rose is very close to delina exclusif maybe its just me.
BOOM!!! I've got your top 7, must be doing something right, but I'm a guy and I'm looking for the masculine scents. I guess Rehab and OFG are my best options?
Maybe I'm alone in this but I hate the description of unisex. It seems to be the thing to do though these days but when I'm trying to buy a fragrance I want to know if , as a man, it works for me to either impress others with a masculine scent or attract women. When I hear unisex my brain translates that to bland. Makes a sight unseen purchase really difficult, at least for me.
The Initio House is impressive. I have to evaluate it for 2 weeks before I can decide. Right now, I am impressed with Rehab. Hopefully, you will discover the ultra, ultra niche houses that do not follow IFFRA and are the current benchmarks from the Far East. Nothing compares.
Thank you Demi for your reviews. They really help especially cologne/perfume collectors. What’s your take on Paragon? I bought one and I’m still hesitant.
@Me Mine. I bought a tester for Oud for Greatness and TBH it wasn’t for me, a bit too oudy- not sure why I was surprised (think the clue’s in the name😂). Hopefully Atomic Rose will be more my vibe. Thanks for the input. 👍❤️😁
I bought Oud for greatness when you recommended it last year and it didn't disappoint for all . Literally it makes my mouth water every time I smell myself and I assume people around me do the same . People stop me and tell me what fragrance are you wearing . Most of the comments that I get is that this fragrance that I'm wearing is LUXURIOUS and MAJESTIC...
Atomic Rose, Rehab and Oud for greatness are wonderful! My next will be Addictive Vibration or Side Effect. Not sure yet. Thank you for your recommendations! The compliments are ENDLESS and the house is simply sexy af ✨
I tried an Oud for greatness sample I was provided with when I made another purchase and although I did like it I wasn't overwhelmed. I would more likely say I was whelmed and it might be more aptly named Oud For Mediocracy.
Initio and amouge are my favorite houses. I have side effect and OFG. Agree 10/10. I tried rehab thought it was good looking to try again. Blessed Baraka real good and want to try absolute aphrodisiac
Thank you for saying that all fragrances are unisex. And the only reason we think certain scents are masculine or feminine is because we have been conditioned by marketing and advertising to think that way. Personally I ignore the fragrance labels and wear whatever smells good to me.
I own Side Effect, Rehab, Paragon, and Blessed Baraka and love love LOVE all of them. I will be buying the others from the house at some point. Atomic rose next!
I bought oud for greatness recently and like to watch this video to make myself feel better about how much I spent on it.
gosshh... i feel sorry
Why? It's a great frag
I started with greatness and tonight i purchased side effect. Combined together and wow im. Grabbing everyone by the poon
Factsss. I fell you 😂😂😂
@@willbuesseler8739 there is no real oud..just chemicals for imitation of oud smell..
omggg i’m so glad you talked about addictive vibrations! it’s my favorite feminine scent, it’s so beautiful and i get so many compliments!!!
How many sprays do you use?
The last 4 are all 11/10. Absolute Aphrodisiac especially is often forgotten about when people talk about Initio. Superb stuff
I love their names! Addictive Vibration sounds right up my ally 🥰
Hi Demi! last week I purchased 3 designer fragrances (coco mademoiselle prive, a la folie tresor and lancome eclat for my mom as a Christmas gift) because we had a massive discount -50% in Greece.

Finally, I was waiting this video the entire week since you said you will upload it, thank you!!
Awesome video!!! You are absolutely amazing as always breaking things down!!
Woaah! Never been this early 🤩🤩 so excited for this video and of course for your fragrance launch soon. All the best Demi xx
You read my mind! So happy you made this video!
Looking more and more amazing with each vid Demi. 🖤🤍🖤 This was a great overview! 15:05 I'll have to write that song. 😄
I recently bought a sample of oud for greatness and it is pretty great, and I agree, it's very likable for an oud fragrance, I tend not to like many oud fragrances but this one is much more pleasant.
I love Initio perfumes as well and it comes to my top 5 brands. Would be difficult to rate them because they are all amazing! Great video.
Great Video Demi! Initio is one of my favorite houses
you're so right with atomic rose. people around me absolutely adore it!! i agree with you rankings completely :)
Bought rehab yesterday and I absolutely love it👌🏻
Just got OFG and I’m OBSESSED. Will be getting side effect and rehab ASAP 😎
Very nice! I have a full bottle of Oud for Greatness, and have/had samples of Rehab, Blessed Baraka, and Side Effect. I was actually smelling the sample of Side Effect before watching this video. Thanks for sharing your list, Demi 😊
Rehab is by far the best Initio. It is such a likable, smooth fragrance.
It is definitely a good scent, but it’s by far and away the simplest of the line and the most generic smelling. IMO, you can substitute Rehab for something like spice bomb extreme
This is my top 10 too. I might switch it around a little bit but these are all in my top. Great list!!!
Thank you for the evaluation, I bought Side Effect.... It’s fantastic and addicting.... Demi you are the best!
I smelled absolute aphrodisiac for the first time today and i now fully understand her reaction to smelling it ❤❤❤
Ele é fantástico
I discovered House De marly because of Demi!..I got herod, Pegasus and Layton which I never regret buying them and now she's taking me to Initio House too!😅...frankly she has extensively knowledge in fragrance world!
Love Demi Rawlings chanel 😊💖💖💖
Thank you so much for telling us which ones are man, woman, unisex. It helps us so much. I don't want to smell like a woman when I get the sample. Thanks!

Because of your previous vid on woman killer fragrances I already bought Blessed Baraka 🙌 thank you Demi! It's a beautiful fragrance and it's perfect for this season! 🍂
Do you have good compliments with girls wearing blessed barraka ?
I am so excited! I have been trying the Carnal Blends and will review them soon, your recommendations do not disappoint Demi!
I just finished oud for greatness and loved it, now I'm starting Blessed Baraka.
Love the list, Demi. There goes my "perfume buying sabbatical"...need to add Atomic Rose, Absolute Aphrodisiac and Blessed Baraka to my Initio collection. The struggle is so real...
Anyway, you look fantastic. Great list as always!
Oud for Greatness is the most well and smooth blended ❤️❤️❤️
I got Blessed Baraka as a gift and now I'm totally into it! Smelled Oud for Greatness the other day at a shop and my god I have to get it!
So happy you made this vid✨
Yay! Thank you for watching 😍
Enjoyed your list Demi, just purchased "Side Effects", be safe and BLESSED
Perfect timing. I needed to try this house. So thank you very much for this informative video
Thank you for watching!
Bro same, get samples from lucky scent they're like 6 bucks
1 year later I now own 4 bottles. And potentially get one more 🥲😅. I love them
Psychedelic Love and Absolute Aphrodisiac are my favorite Initio parfums! I need to sample some of the others. Don't care for Side Effects and Rehab. Me and Oud aren't friends. Enjoyed this video!
Great video. My favourites are Blessed Baraka, Oud for Greatness, Rehab and Side effect
I could listen to her say “Almond Butter” a 1000 times and never get tired of it!
I was just thinking about a new video and it came up. Wonderful review as always. I really want to get atomic rose and oud for greatness for my fiance. Christmas is coming.

Great choices!! 😍
She might not agree. But as far as vanilla fragrances go. Ani by nishane is the best there is for a man. A masterpiece
Ugh! Side effect is everything 👉🏽😍❤️❤️❤️

Side Effect- that’s the MVP for me Fall & Winter so far .
I've got my eye on blessed Baraka, absolutely aphrodisiac and side effect now. I'll have to go in store and try these. 👀
My favorite brand! I own oud for greatness, side effect, absolute aphrodisiac and rehab!
Great video Demi. Can you do a video with your top 10 date fragrances for men on your 20s?
I am so lucky to have 3 perfumes from this house oud for greatness my favorite. The second one is side effect I love it and the last one is magnetic blend 1 and planning to buy Atomic rose soon 😊😊

Addictive vibrations is my favourite. I think it's the perfect unisex parfum. It's definitely a head turner.
Amazing Demi 🙏 thank you🌹
Where is shelby, i want shelby back
Can’t get Initio where I live but watching because of Demi 💕

Hey Demi, great review! Would you also like to do some brand review on Guerlain L’Art et la Matiere, Serge Lutens and Tom Ford? Thank you!
Absolute aphrodisiac is absolutely stunning!!! Awesome video, Demi! Much love!!!!!
Isn't absolute aph too femenine? I feel that way with Side effect, at the beginning at least
@@angelgavilanes to me is perfectly unisex, less sweet and less loud than side effect!
@@angelgavilanespelo menos na minha pele acho muito feminino ele
@@joaocarlosabraaohoehn1335 anida mas que Side Effect? Não sei si vc tuve a oportunidade de le percebir
@@angelgavilanes o Side effect eu não provei ainda, mais o absolute fica pura baunilha na minha pele, só no final que fica mais amadeirado puxando para o masculino mais é questão de pele né, vale a pena você testar na sua pele
bought initio oud for greatness n im head over heels in love with it😘😘😘. It smells like rich person to me.
To me atomic rose is very close to delina exclusif maybe its just me.
BOOM!!! I've got your top 7, must be doing something right, but I'm a guy and I'm looking for the masculine scents. I guess Rehab and OFG are my best options?
Thank you so much Demi for this informative video
I enjoy wearing Y edp and bleu de chanel edp
So which one should i get from this house
Side effect and High Frequency are my favorites.

I love you and your videos !!!! Much love from Framingham- ma !!! 🙋🏻♀️you are gorgeous 😃☺️🌸🌼🌸💕
Can't wait to do unboxing video on oud for greatness. wow such a nice packaging.
Initio is in my wish list, of course yesss
so i have to try side effect and blessed baraka. got it. wonderful content!
Thank you Demi for your reviews. They really help especially cologne/perfume collectors.
What’s your take on Paragon? I bought one and I’m still hesitant.
Love, love, love your reviews! ❤️ Been saving up for an Initio perfume so this video has really helped me narrow it down to which one. 👍
So which one you decide to purchase ....?..
@@Memo-el2ux I’m umming and ahhing over Atomic Rose and Psychedelic Love but think it’s gonna be Atomic Rose. What do you think?
@@mrscook3387
Do you have Oud For Greatness?.
What’s your taste in perfume?
@@mrscook3387
I think give the Atomic Rose a try...
@Me Mine. I bought a tester for Oud for Greatness and TBH it wasn’t for me, a bit too oudy- not sure why I was surprised (think the clue’s in the name😂). Hopefully Atomic Rose will be more my vibe. Thanks for the input. 👍❤️😁
I just got ATOMIC ROSE, BLESSED BARAKA AND OUD FOR GREATNESS based on your reviews. OMG Im in love.
Thank you Demi for your honest reviews.
Is blessed barraka a lady killer ?
Hey, would you be able to do a top 5 seductive summer niche fragrances?
I just started with Side Effect. And I Agree 100%. I'll get Rehab next...And perhaps I'l try the others... Thank you for that review.

I am thinking of buying it, but three other contenders are side effect, xerjoff naxos and bacckarat rouge 540. What do you think
@@miha3791 Oud for Greatness is King but they say Baccarat Rouge is very close to Oud for Greatness but I never tried it
@@manafissam6402 thank you. I appreciate the answer
Hi Demi, Can you do more female “crowd pleaser” fragrance list? 🤗🤗
OFG, more like OMG, 😂 just sampled it today in Hamburg. Its gloriously good, cannot wait to empty my wallet on this one. Great list as always Demi.👌 ❤
Absolute afrodisíaco é realmente surreal, a melhor baunilha realmente eu estou em êxtase depois de cheirar isso e já quero o frasco grande ❤
I will try all thanks Demi
I would hope PDM and Initio pays you. You really hype them and make me (and I'm sure others) want to try their fragrances
Her boyfriend's father is the owner of the Initio/PdM/BDK distributor in the middle east. I suppose that's better than getting paid.
@@air9music 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
@@air9music distributor or owns the company? Distibutos are nothing lol they just pass on the good big deal lol
They're just that good
@@air9music you show your ignorance. Distributors aren't owners.
Just picked up Side Effect. Incredible. Never thought Blessed Baraka would be 4th in my Initio lineup. Lol
I have oud for greatness, atomic rose, side effect and musk therapy. I love them all. Addictive vibration may be next 🥰☺🥰
I JUST got a sample of Blessed Baraka, incredible! To my amateur nose it’s a mix of grand soir and ambre narguile
Smells abit like pdm charlisle
Perfectly reviewed
I smelled side effect and it blew me away its stunning.
Side Effect, Oud For Greatness, Rehab ... have to go with these 3
This all one needs. Perfect 3
Which one is the best?
Eyeing Oud for Greatness!
Atomic Rose, Rehab and Oud for greatness are wonderful! My next will be Addictive Vibration or Side Effect. Not sure yet. Thank you for your recommendations! The compliments are ENDLESS and the house is simply sexy af ✨
Which is your fav??
I am debating on getting addictive vibrations or side effects myself.
I blind bought Side Effect online, but changed my order to Addictive Vibration and its actually really beautiful!
I tried an Oud for greatness sample I was provided with when I made another purchase and although I did like it I wasn't overwhelmed. I would more likely say I was whelmed and it might be more aptly named Oud For Mediocracy.
Initio and amouge are my favorite houses. I have side effect and OFG. Agree 10/10. I tried rehab thought it was good looking to try again. Blessed Baraka real good and want to try absolute aphrodisiac
Which one would you say is better/women like more? Ofg or side effect
Initio rehab, oud for greatness and side effect. All fire!
Psychedelic love, what a great name 🍄
I love Initio!
I BOUGHT YOUR #10LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF YOU LOVE IT.
Thank you for saying that all fragrances are unisex. And the only reason we think certain scents are masculine or feminine is because we have been conditioned by marketing and advertising to think that way. Personally I ignore the fragrance labels and wear whatever smells good to me.
I own Side Effect, Rehab, Paragon, and Blessed Baraka and love love LOVE all of them. I will be buying the others from the house at some point. Atomic rose next!
Which do you recommend buying, side effect or blessed baraka?
I love all your picks side effect is my fav🥰 can you please do Mancera top fragrances
Great video 😍😍😍
Can you make a video on very feminine non-gourmand perfumes? That would be a great one.
Blessed Baraka is my favorite from the line. Just Amazing
How does it smell ? I like ambery note.
