Initio Parfums Psychedelic Love EDP

Description

Psychedelic Love is Initio Parfums Privés' creamy, powdery shapeshifter, a heliotrope-and-rose floral that wavers between vanilla, almond and soft powder. Launched in 2017, it's one of the house's most sophisticated and addictive creations: it opens sugary, then unfolds into a powdery sweet floral with real depth. Reviewers call it a fragrance that becomes “utterly unrecognizable” after the first half hour, a true evolving scent rather than a linear one.
