Psychedelic Love Eau de Parfum 90 ml

Pure obsession
Narcotic essence.

A transgressive reference to psychedelic trips, this fetishist composition has the effect of a double-action bomb: first, it triggers an immense, addictive and egotistical pleasure, before diffusing itself and titillating its target, who is left completely hooked.

What is this scent of subversion?

Stupefying fragrance
The signature of this narcotic bomb lies in three essential ingredients: rose, hedione and heliotropin.

While hedione activates the brain regions linked to pleasure and the libido, heliotropin goes even further.
Equally tender and illicit, this crystalline powder hides its intentions well.
Beware of its creamy, powdery and floral facets, wavering between vanilla and almond!

Used in over doses, heliotropin becomes a psychoactive substance. A forbidden shiver rushes over the skin.
A substance under strict regulations.
Its possession is strictly controlled by law, because heliotropin is used for the chemical synthesis of mda, a prohibited drug and substitute for ecstasy.

Confronted with this diabolical indulgence, no one is safe from an olfactory obsession that can soon become a real addiction!

The nose knows
Scientists have long rejected the idea that certain fragrances are capable of releasing sex hormones.
However, a team of researchers from Bochum University (Germany) demonstrated that specific scented molecules known as hedione (methyl dihydrojasmonate) can activate brain regions linked to the libido, triggering impulses and attraction in their wake.

This discovery led to the creation of Carnal Blends, an unprecedented collection by Initio in which all of the formulas are enriched with hedione – a word very aptly derived from the Greek hedone (meaning “pleasure”), a mysterious molecule that plays the role of the final detonator.
Each of these fragrances dares to showcase fantasy raw materials, carnal notes and passionate, distinctive accords, celebrating rebellious olfactory compositions capable of arousing pleasure and inciting physical attraction.

Carnal Blends, the Empire of the Senses
Led by the nose…
For decades, scientists refused to countenance the idea that certain fragrances could trigger the release of sex hormones. And then a team of researchers at Bochum University in Germany recently proved that certain fragrances, containing certain key compounds, possess the power to activate regions of the brain linked to libido.

Such is the history behind Carnal Blends, the collection from Initio that dares to engage with fantasy-fuelling ingredients, carnal notes, committed, powerful and distinctive couplings, and celebrates transgressive fragrance compositions with the power to awaken pleasure, to stir physical attraction.

The Carnal Blends collection is made up of two uncompromising fragrances, both rich in hedione (methyl dihydrojasmonate) - named from the Greek word “hedone” meaning pleasure - a floral compound to be found in the heart notes of jasmine and magnolia and that brings great airiness and light to a composition.

But that’s not all it does…
Studies conducted by a German research team found proof that hedione activates a region of the brain responsible for pleasure and heightened libido. Our sense of smell, numbed by the assault of so many asexual, proper, chaste and innocuous scents, and our instincts, repressed by so many “thou shalt nots”, will be overwhelmed by these mini-bombs of sensuality that speak so clearly to our intimate animality.
