When one begins to enter the world of luxury perfumes, one discovers the pleasure and importance of details: Initio perfumes are the expression of the finest luxury and opulence. The name of the brand, “Initio”, derives from a Latin word, meaning “origin” and “initiation”, and is intended to suggest the idea that perfume may, in fact, constitute an initiation rite capable of transmitting determination and power to the wearer.
Initio perfumes were first presented to the public in 2015, immediately characterising themselves as a line of fragrances shrouded in mystery. The maison's artistic director, Sonia (her surname remains unknown), took inspiration from the book “Perfume” by Suskind, an emblem of how perfume can be powerful and perhaps even shocking in some cases. Essences and fragrances, after all, have always played a quasi-ritual role in a multitude of traditions, from ancient Egypt to Morocco, Algeria and the Middle East (not to mention almost everywhere else in the world). And it is precisely this rich, age-old tradition that has prompted Initio to investigate its selection of fragrances more thoroughly, with a wide choice of intense, skin-persistent Eau de Parfum and Extrait de Parfum. Magnetic and intriguing, all Initio fragrances are a true journey through the discovery of the most fascinating and refined olfactory ingredients of niche perfumery, all in the pursuit of luxury. In keeping with the fragrances contained within them, the Initio bottles are distinguished by their richness and carefulness: in black or opaque white, all the bottles feature a solid label with gold inlays and an unmistakable cap, engraved with the maison's logo.
Initio Oud for Happiness Eau de Parfum: can a perfume make you feel happier? This fragrance amplifies the benefits of oud through a breath of freshly cut narcotic grass, energising and uninhibited. Oud for Happiness is a portal to modernity. Its composition provides an addictive means of relaxation that stimulates self-confidence. Enter a secret dimension where the experience of deep harmony is not a dream.
Initio Oud for Greatness Eau de Parfum: oud wood finds a corner of perfection in this fragrance, thanks to a bold formula highlighted by Patchouli and Musk. Oud for Greatness is a luxurious fragrance, surprisingly fresh, thanks to the notes of Lavender, but also spicy (due to nutmeg and saffron). This oriental Eau de Parfum is a hymn to greatness.
Initio Psychedelic Love Eau de Parfum: the secret of this narcotic bomb lies in three essential ingredients: Rose, Hedione and Heliotropin. Equally tender and illicit, this crystalline powder hides its intentions well. Beware of Psychedelic Love Eau de Parfum…with its creamy, powdery and floral facets, swaying between Vanilla and Almond, it could win you over forever!
Initio Musk Therapy Extrait de Parfum: close your eyes, feel a new world of sensations, experience the power of fragrance therapy.

Musk Therapy Extrait de Parfum paves the way to relaxation and a state of well-being.
Initio Side Effect Eau de Parfum: the harmony of tobacco, vanilla, rum and cinnamon in this fragrance is captivating. It seduces the most demanding senses, playing with each of its facets.
