About this deal

So the presence of castoreum in some flowers is quite obvious; most often castoreum can be found in the smell of carnation, mimosa, and orchids.

At the moment, we know about 60 compounds forming the smell of castoreum. Phenols play an important role in it, imparting a characteristic smoky facet which is sometimes described as medicinal. A smell of phenol or carbolic acid is known to everyone who has at least once opened a jar with a gouache paint. Gouache smells like phenol, it is added to the paint as an aseptic component to protect it from bacteria (the base of gouache paint is a wonderfully nutrient medium for many microorganisms).

Side Effect is a sophisticated mature scent more suited for the 25-up crowd and best worn in the cooler weather: fall/winter (avoid use in the high heat).

Castoreum is a specific fragrant secretion from the castor sacs of the beaver, one of the biggest rodents who live in Europe, Asia and North America. Later, we can also find it in much more modest quantities in Cabochar Gres, Aramis, Knize Ten, YSL Kouros, YSL Opium, Caron Yatagan, Paloma Picasso, Chanel Antaeus. The recently re-formulated perfume Beaver is really more about a beaver's life and habitat than their castoreum; there is a lot of water, linden blossom, watery leaves, bitter shootings, tree juices, and just a little bit of leather notes. Don’t go crazy with the sprays. This is definitely a “less is more” type fragrance… 1–2 sprays MAX and you’re good to go.

Rehab is part of Initio’s Hedonist collection (white bottles). This was a project to source super high quality natural ingredients to create a nearly all natural luxurious blend. humans, we have taken advantage of this effect for millennia. For example, jasmine, tuberose and Atlantic ylang ylang are heady, intoxicating and fully charged with erotic nuances." What should you look for in an aphrodisiac perfume? Absolute Aphrodisiac is an EDP and projects just under arm’s length for the first 1–2 hours, then sits closer to the skin, lasting around 8–10 plus hours. As the name suggests, Absolute Aphrodisiac is part of the Absolute collection. But does it live up to its name?

Atomic Rose opens with a HUGE blast of rose with a pinch of sparkling bergamot citrus and pink pepper. And if you LOVE vanilla based scents, you can discover more on our best vanilla perfumes shootout (most are unisex). Rehab opens up fresh, clean and spicy with a blast of bergamot citrus mixed with lavender and some spicy tobacco.

This is part of the brands Carnal Blends collection, and with a name like “Psychedelic Love,” you’re probably wondering…

What surprised me at the very first test was that this fragrance - unlike what you would expect from Initio and its name - comes across as rather monothematic. For me Absolute Aphrodiasac remains a vanilla scent from beginning to end. The Bibergeil (which caused me some concern before) proves to be harmless and only adds a discreet animal note to the top note of the fragrance. Also the white flowers can be guessed at most. With protection in the early 20th century, the beaver population has rebounded to an estimated 10 to 15 million, still much less than it was before the fur trade. It’s warm, sweet (but not too sweet), sexy and inviting. And attracts a LOT of positive attention. (Not complaining!) Absolute Aphrodisiac is more suited for the mature 25-up crowd and best worn in cool weather: fall & winter (avoid use in the high heat).Bevears, males and females, use castoreum in combination with urine to mark their territory. The yellowish liquid secretion includes a waxy substance and helps beaver fur remain waterproof. Initio Parfums use super high quality ingredients and collaborate with some of the world’s best perfumers to create their collection. As it settles the heliotrope creeps in… joined with a hint of sandalwood and vanilla to smooth everything out. Now, the star of the show is the rose, and as it dries down it’s joined with a hint of vanilla that leaves you with a beautiful fresh sweet peppery citrusy rose.
