by Initio Parfums Prives
Addictive Vibration by Initio Parfums Prives is a bright, sweet floral with a prominent honey and musk backbone, opening with vivid apple blossom and orange blossom notes that meld with creamy vanilla orchid and a touch of synthetic gourmand sweetness. It evolves into a warm, honey-infused dry down with subtle powdery and musky facets, creating a softly intoxicating, head-turning scent that leans strongly feminine but resonates deeply with both men and women. The fragrance is described as distinct from many others in the niche world—similar in vibe to a refined, radiant version of Mugler's Alien, though softer and more natural in its floral and honey accord. Longevity and sillage are both moderate to strong, lasting up to 10 hours, with noticeable projection that remains intimate yet undeniably present. The fragrance is praised for its cohesion, smoothness, and addictive appeal, with many finding it an elegant, emotionally elevating experience. However, some note a cloying sweetness reminiscent of grape candy or thin, artificial grape notes, and a few find the honey note overpowering or synthetic. Others perceive it as slightly stale or simplistic, lacking depth or the complexity they hoped for, especially in its drydown. Despite not being universally loved, it stands out as unusually bold and memorable—its uniqueness made it a standout in many personal collections, even if not every user finds it truly transformative.
