About this deal

On the whole for me already underrated and would have deserved more attention. Here is no perfumer registered, but believe this fragrance comes from Alberto Morrillas. Often frowned upon, but in the niche he does great work for me. Be careful not to overspray this one. You only need 1–2 sprays MAX or this could become annoying to others around you (it will fill a room!). Rehab doesn’t scream out for attention. It projects within arm’s length for the first 1 to 1.5 hours, then becomes more subtle, creating a nice personal scent bubble around you. As it settles the heliotrope creeps in… joined with a hint of sandalwood and vanilla to smooth everything out.

Blessed Baraka by Initio Parfums Privés (2015) is the muscular gym rat brother of Parfums de Marly Carlisle (2015) from the sibling house owned by the same parent company. Right away you will notice the link between the two if you have smelled both, but while Carlisle has some animalic tones and synth oud blended with tobacco to make it mysterious and masculine, Blessed Baraka seems to go for the throat with the synthetic macrocyclic musks seeking to emulate the sour musky lactones naturally occurring in real animalics, while also contradicting them with a clean barrage of tonka and white florals. This confusing mix of "I'm strong like an ox but gentle like a lamb" makes Blessed Baraka seem incredibly unbalanced and cheap-smelling, as if you were smelling a budget clone of itself rather than the real deal, but that's how it goes with this hit-or-miss luxury-tier perfume brand. I'm not loving this one, but overall opinions are about as disparate as they come for the stuff. In every house there are the "hypes", at Xerjoff it is for example XJ 1861 Naxos , or Erba Pura , at PDM it is for example Layton . With Initio, from my point of view, it is the Side Effect, the Oud for Greatness or the Musk Therapy . Then there are fragrances - like the Blessed Baraka - which are fortunately and unfortunately not rightly in the shadow of the greats, the real "hidden champions". The Absolutes focus on high quality raw natural ingredients that have been blended to create super unique fragrances. The Magnetic Blends Collection

believes me.. Perhaps it will help if I mention that my hangover is many times more brutal than I am? D To start, you get a very cherry vibe. Not like the usual cherry scents a la Lost Cherry, but rather boozy and dark. Also a nice dark spice is present. There is something dark and mystical about this opening in particular. It is pleasant, but not this typical crowdpleaser. This boozy note makes it special & unique, perfect not to smell like every 2nd in the "club". As it progresses it becomes more pleasing, even though there is not quite as much progression in this scent as most Initios. I like it well. As it progresses, the sandalwood note comes out well and convinces with a woody amber-vanilla-musk combo. The basic DNA of the opening but still resonates.

Performance is very good. Perfect for the evening. Stands out and convinces. Sillage is at generous dosage already really good and also the durability should go into double digits. Expected but also at this price and this fragrance DNA.

Nevertheless, the fragrance manages to smell extremely high-quality and creative, while delivering a really great H/S. Partly you really hear cherry, even if not officially listed.

The durability and sillage are simply top with this fragrance, no Beastmode, but a definitely striking, potent fragrance Blessed Baraka is for me a dark fragrance. From the pyramid should not be influenced too much. The notes given are indeed present, whether this is so complete I dare to doubt. Like so many, I also perceive a cherry vibe, in addition to light boozy vibes. This makes this fragrance very unique and for me it is most likely a fragrance for the dark hours of the day.Find sources: "Barakah"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( December 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Don’t go crazy with the sprays.

followed with a hint of smoky guaiac wood, some fruity earthy patchouli and a pinch of vanilla sweetness. But all this probably doesn't interest you, especially if I write that Mortal Kombat is not only a video game, but one of the most ultra-brutal fighting games ever... but even if I know this series (and therefore know some characters with names...) and have gambled I'm still really dear and not a brutally disturbed psychopath... but never anyone *sigh* It’s warm, sweet (but not too sweet), sexy and inviting.
