Initio Parfums Narcotic Delight EDP

Description

Narcotic Delight is Initio Parfums Privés' boozy cherry bomb, a saturated swirl of dark cherry, cognac and tobacco resting on a rich vanilla-tonka base. Launched in 2024, it's one of the house's most talked-about modern releases: a sweet, intoxicating gourmand that leans dark and grown-up rather than playful. Reviewers describe a bold, boozy cherry opening anchored by a smoky tobacco backbone. The kind of scent built to turn heads on a winter night out.
