Initio Parfums Prives Narcotic Delight & Obsentum

On a rainy and cold March evening, a chamber of secrets slowly opened its door. A whisper grew stronger, traveling through the narrow corridors, climbing the tall steps, all the way from inside the mysterious safe guarded by heavy padlocks. The cold lights morphed into the fervent dark shimmer of red neon, and the hurried sounds of footsteps reverberated on the old marble floors. In the safe of the old Marmorosch bank, the boundary between desires and reality was erased, for one evening, for all those who answered the promise-filled call.

Passing by the revolving doors and down the stairs to the former vault, you'll find The Vault bar. The over three thousand brass safety deposit boxes, complete with their original keys and mechanisms, have been meticulously restored with a watchmaker's precision, giving the place a special acoustic quality while infusing it with a unique blend of mystery, opulence, and magic. This is where we unveiled the latest scent from Initio Parfums Prives, in the Carnal Blends series -  a delicious spicy gourmand scent with notes of cherry, cognac, vanilla, pepper, and tobacco: Narcotic Delight

INITIO is your initiation into a universe overflowing with pleasure

An intoxicating mix of music and scent lingers in the air, enhanced by the aromas of cocktails inspired by the essence of the "Narcotic Delight" perfume: a voluptuous blend of cherries and cognac, heralding the promise of a night where anything is possible. In the heart of this pleasure labyrinth, each detail assumes a truly hypnotic dimension, drawing us ever closer to the initiatory threshold into a world where the senses reign supreme. Hidden in the shadows, we encounter a new mystical temptation, specially prepared for those who wish to delve deeper into the cult of forbidden pleasures: the tarot corner. Here, each guest can pause, sit down, and, surrounded by a halo of red light, begin the ritual, discovering answers to questions yet unspoken.

The Initio Narcotic Delight perfume is an emotion concentrate centered around hedione, a molecule used in fragrances to stimulate the part of the brain responsible for libido and desire enhancement. This key molecule adds a layer of depth and complexity to the scent, enriching it with a magnetic quality that excites the senses.

 In the empire of the senses, let yourself be guided by instincts.

Initio Narcotic Delight stands as the pinnacle of the Carnal Blends series, a fragrance that captures the essence of pleasure in each of its ingredients, celebrating hedonism. This olfactory peak of sensuality, intensity, and sexuality begins with a deceptively simple scenario: encapsulating the entire sensual tension of a first date within a fragrance.

A film that paints the picture of a first encounter with sensual, cinematic strokes. A scenario where both actors are present, attentive, and aware of the significance of each unfolding detail, perfectly following the steps of the dance, and knowing exactly where it will lead. Palms curve and embrace the cognac-warmed glasses, each sip altering the perception of time, the sand in the hourglasses now turned into honey, slowly dripping in reverse, defying the laws of gravity. The red cherry bursts out with flavor, sweet and hot, as it's pierced by teeth, and the tension escalates, electric, sharp, spicy like a fire that cannot be contained. A brief, cool interlude outside, in the chill of the night, the leather jacket's collar grazing the back of the neck, mixing the leathery scent with the pheromonal aroma of skin warmed by desire. Nervous fingers take out cigarettes from the pack and light them up, small red embers dotting the night's darkness, with white smoke subversively wrapping around the cool mist of rain hitting the pavement.

An arc through time spins, like a mechanism brought from the vibrant era of the "roaring '20s" of the last century, back to the heart of the present, not before being carried by neon lights towards a pre-sensed future. The narcotic vision gradually dissipates, and the safe closes its sarcophagus-heavy door. The magic has been sealed and enclosed in the deep purple hues of "Narcotic Delight".
Our story, however, has only just begun.
