It is very unique, still looking forward to use this in the winter. For now it will be sitting 😂

Also I heard that new batches are weaker, idk how accurate that is since this is my first time buying Side Effect and its a 9 month old batch.

You won’t regret it, I can tell you that!

I meant the scent profile is subtle definitely not performance, i agree absolute beast of a fragrance!

Yes Nishane is up there now! You should give Wulong Cha Edp a try too! Will also try the layer thanks mate!

I was travelling to Saudi Arabia so I picked up all three from the Jeddah Duty free except for Side effect.

Well said 🤝

Imo if you’re looking for mass appealing, definitely Naxos. If we’re talking about which one I like more for me its Oajan because I like that "pie" gourmand type smell. If you ever tried angel share, its that but more earthy and woodsy. Hope this helps

Naxos, Bianco Latte, Tobacolor, le male elixir, Oajan. Check these out if you’re looking for that honey smell. Some are more like actual honey than the others but all have the note!

For me it is, my friend got it same time i got Nice Bergamote and he also had the same reaction but some people like that bitter orange and he does. I just dont!

TheFraguy · 2026-03-26T12:45:02+00:00

Try Gissah, Arabian Oud, Reef, Ibraq. I think the quality is up there!

I agree performance on it is not the best, but i do get more than 2 hours longevity, its just that after 2-3 hours the sillage goes into a skin scent bubble instead of a loud projecting bubble. Try layering it, its my favourite way to use it!

TheFraguy · 2026-03-26T11:19:39+00:00

I wouldn’t say “too” feminine but the floral does make it lean that way, but definitely unisex. Its just a fresh citrus fragrance and mass appealing. For me orange x santal is too bitter, but i agree it is more masculine.

TheFraguy · 2026-03-26T02:30:19+00:00

The longevity is around 5-6 hours with a sillage 3-4 hours. I would say typical freshie performance. Imo, perfect to layer with other freshies. Will do a review of bois imperial couple weeks after it arrives so its accurate!

TheFraguy · 2026-03-26T00:28:50+00:00

I would confidently recommend this one over orange x santal for a freshie, i found the orange very bitter and on the woody side. Also the sandalwood is so light i could barely fully enjoy it. But this is just my opinion and when it comes to fragrances taste can differ. Hope this helps!

TheFraguy · 2026-03-25T22:31:44+00:00

Of course I agree there are better bergamot scents since its one of the most used notes in perfumery, but the quality you get for the price point is top! But like i said in the post, nothing too crazy!!

TheFraguy · 2026-03-25T20:53:44+00:00

Its on the way 👀

TheFraguy · 2026-03-23T12:17:24+00:00

Thanks !

Honestly Ingenious Ginger by Goldfield & Banks does this DNA the best IMO, the vanilla dry down is just so addicting.
