An endless rush of desire that makes you feel fiercely alive.
The essence of this craving?
A scent. A scent of flesh and temptation.
A Rose, shaken by Pink Pepper. The obsession spills over with a visceral, haunting gourmandise: shameless Caramel, voluptuous Vanilla, and planted right at the heart, Hedione—a spectral molecule that cloaks every note in unreasonable sensuality.
CAN'T GET ENOUGH is a fragrance of obsession that keeps you coming back for more—again and again, and again. A hypnotic loop. An insatiable desire. A devouring passion.
You crave this scent beyond reason, rejecting every ounce of restraint and ignoring all forms of moderation. True to its name, it is haunting, captivating, irresistible
‘Initio’ is a Latin word with two meanings: ‘the origin’, and ‘initiation’ – and this renegade new perfume house sets out ‘to initiate perfume as an object of power.’
First unveiled in 2015, a cloak of mystery enfolds this French perfume house.
Artistic director Sonia (her surname is secret) prefers to talk about the influence of Patrick Suskind’s book ‘Perfume’ – and the power of perfume As she puts it: ‘In the beginning, in ancient Egyptian times, perfume was used for everything except to smell good.
It was used to create magic, to attract love, to purify the home, to communicate with the gods, to cure and to cleanse the body.
Even up until today, in some countries, you have that culture of perfumes being used to clean and purify – in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, for example.
Even in the Middle East, where they know perfume better than anyone, perfume is still used as an object of power.’
Initio Parfums seeks to share the animalic potency and perfume’s role as an ‘invisible pheromonal force’ – but it does so via very beautiful fragrances, working with leading perfumers, including Constantin Gueros, Alexandra Kosinski, and the legendary Alberto Morillas and Maurice Roucel.
