PSYCHEDELIC LOVE

Psychedelic Love is the most sensual fragrance in the Carnal Blends line by Initio Parfums Privés: a unisex Eau de Parfum that blends bergamot and Bulgarian rose with a heart of ylang ylang and heliotrope, over a creamy base of myrrh, vanilla, patchouli and sandalwood.

The Fragrance

Psychedelic Love is part of the Carnal Blends line, the collection in which Initio explores attraction through "carnal" accords and a high dosage of Hedione, the molecule that acts on the brain's pathways of pleasure and libido. The brand describes it as a transgressive reference to euphoria, where rose and heliotrope intertwine in a tender and forbidden way. An infinite fascination follows, in which time seems to dilate and the boundaries between body and mind blur. The result is a creamy, powdery floral woody fragrance, able to alternate sweetness and sensuality with great ease.

How It Evolves on Skin

On opening, Psychedelic Love unfolds with a luminous bergamot, immediately softened by a touch of ylang ylang. As the minutes pass, Bulgarian rose takes center stage, wrapped in the warm powderiness of heliotrope and the discreet presence of hedione, which gives the skin an almost magnetic trail. In the following hours, the fragrance settles onto a soft base of myrrh and vanilla, enriched by patchouli and sandalwood, for a warm, creamy and slightly resinous finish that lingers close to the body.

Who We Recommend Psychedelic Love To

Psychedelic Love is designed for those who love floral woody fragrances with character, able to be sweet without becoming cloying and sensual without being excessive. It's a fragrance to dose with care, since its projection in the first hour is significant: perfect for those seeking a scent that leaves a mark, to wear on occasions when you want to be remembered.

FAQ

What is hedione and why is it so central to Psychedelic Love?
Hedione is an aromatic molecule with a neuroactive effect, used by the brand in high doses because it acts on the brain pathways linked to pleasure and libido: it's the ingredient that makes Psychedelic Love's trail magnetic and enveloping, beyond simple olfactory perception.

Is Psychedelic Love a fragrance for her, for him, or for both?
It's explicitly unisex: the floral woody structure over a base of myrrh, vanilla and patchouli is designed to be worn by anyone seeking a sensual, enveloping fragrance, without gender distinctions.

How much does Psychedelic Love project and how long does it last?
Projection is significant in the first hour, then settles into a more intimate, lasting trail; longevity is good, with several hours of presence on the skin, so it's best applied with a light touch.
