Part of Initio’s Carnal Collection, which uses an overdose of hedione (a synthetic molecule extracted from the Jasmine flower) to encourage love and attraction. With just a spritz, feel wildly irresistible and desirable… go forth and create connection!
DESIRE WITHOUT LIMIT. LOVE BEYOND REASON. PSYCHEDELIC LOVE.
A transgressive reference to feeling high, this fetishist composition has it all. The pairing of Rose and Heliotropin is both tender and illicit, soon joined by Hedione in a “ménage à trois” where each element is illuminated by the radiance of the other. First, it triggers a selfish pleasure, before it permeates, disrupting and ultimately subduing the other. Obsession takes shape. PSYCHEDELIC LOVE unfolds, enchanting and hypnotic. A gentle, endless fascination where time stretches, and the boundaries between body and mind blur.
NOTES
Bergamot, Rose, Myrrh, Vanilla, Patchouli, Heliotropin, Hedione.
HOW IT WEARS
Warm and enveloping, Psychedelic Love begins with luminous hedione and velvety rose. As it wears it gets warmer and more powdery – honeyed, almond-y heliotropin blends with vanilla and patchouli in a fluffy embrace. In the base the balsamic resin of myrrh provides the perfect grounding for the scent, which lingers on the skin softly for hours with impressive projection.
LORE LOVES
This fragrance texturally soft and velvety, like being under the covers with your lover or lying on a bed of flowers in a field on a hazy warm day. It’s so intoxicatingly comforting that it makes you feel kind of woozy, so we think Psychedelic Love is the perfect name for it!
ABOUT THE BRAND
Since 2015, Initio Parfums Privés has been a pioneer in the world of functional fragrance. They view perfume as an object of transformation; something that can influence how you feel both physically and mentally.
The limbic system, located deep within your brain, is the control centre of emotion. It processes scents, sounds, memories, and very importantly, your unconscious. Studies show that up to 75% of daily emotions can be triggered by scent unconsciously. With this in mind, Initio set out to create a range of fragrances designed to more intentionally illicit particular emotional reactions. They partnered with dsm-firmenich, a perfume laboratory that has been researching the neuroscience of fragrance for over 30 years, and together created a range of perfumes that create measurable emotional response – otherwise known as functional fragrance.
Each of Initio’s collections explores a different emotional territory, formulated using specific notes proven to assist in triggering certain emotions or feelings. The Carnal Blends Collection encourages love, attraction and connection using sensual hedione, The Absolutes Collection harnesses the power of animalic notes to help sharpen your animal instincts, The Hedonist Collection encourages healing and harmony using noble raw materials know for their well-being power, and the Black Gold Project utilises the sacred scent magic of oud to encourage confidence and conquest.
Made in France, Initio perfumes are blended with both natural and safe synthetic ingredients.
