A Sugary Dream with a Sophisticated Twist
This sweet-scented perfume is pure indulgence—like walking into a candy shop wrapped in silk. The opening is a burst of sugary delight, with notes of caramel, spun sugar, and juicy berries that instantly spark joy. It’s playful and youthful, but not immature.As it settles, the sweetness is balanced by soft floral undertones and a creamy vanilla base, giving it a smooth, almost dessert-like finish. There’s a subtle warmth that keeps it from being too saccharine, making it wearable for both daytime fun and cozy evenings.It’s the kind of scent that draws compliments and makes you feel like you’re wrapped in a sweet, comforting aura. Perfect for those who love gourmand fragrances or want to add a little whimsy to their collection.

Like the OG but less $$$
Should be criminal to have an 'inspired by' that is this good. Not only is it close to the original, it is just about as potent as well. Great value. Winter/fall wear, and you have to like tobacco/cherry/dark scents.

By Comparison
I'm guessing most people who are seeking this fragrance are looking for a good comparison to Side Effect by Initio. This was the exact reason I chose to give it a shot. In quick summary, if you have not had access to Side Effect in some time, or don't have an overtly strong sense of smell I think this is exactly what you are looking for. It is not a 100% match but very close.I compared both Side to Side on my wrists for an afternoon, initially using the new bottle (After Effect by Fragrence World.)Upon first spraying it, I could tell there was something missing in this formula, though I could not pinpoint all the differences until comparing them Side by side. The Initio blend has been my daily scent for the last two months, so it is fresh in my mind.Comparing and contrastingAfter Effect is significantly stronger than Side Effect. Both on initial spray and over an extended period of time. The 3-4 sprays it takes me with the Initio formula only take 1-2 with After Effect. While to an extent I like the subtle scent of Initios formula, given the steep price tag it has been one of the least satisfying aspects of that fragrence.I find After Effect to be a warmer scent. It is less complex, less boozy and spicy than Side Effect. While I have heard others review the Initio formulas "boozyness" as one of the lesser liked qualities- it is, unfortunately for me something I deeply enjoyed in the original fragrance.Mentioning the lacking complexity of Fragrence worlds formula, along with the warmness of it- Initios has a certain sharpness to the type of scent that it is. As it fades what stays is that sharp complexity. I like the subtleness of that.None of this is to say the fragrence world version is bad. Though I own two different sized bottles between the brands I find the quality of the packaging and bottles very similar in both appearance and application.I am very sensitive to slight changes in scent and taste and so I am hyper aware of the differences I described and more prone to being picky because of my fondness for my original fragrance. Because of the stark difference in price I am going to switch over to this version for the time being. Hopefully with time I'll grow to enjoy it in equal stride and save my Initio Parfum for special occasions.

11/10, Basically just a rebranded Side Effect
The box is very high quality and came un-damaged. It smells identical to Initio Side Effect. The first couple seconds smells a little weird (the alcohol has to go away) but after like 5 seconds it smells like Side Effect. I took a shower after wearing it for like 10 minutes and I still smell it just as strong as when I first sprayed it. The dry down is super good too. The inside of the box is super smooth and fits the cologne perfect. The cologne bottle feels super high quality and it has weight. It looks similar to Lataffa Badee al oud amethyst. The top says French Avenue, and the bottle is a darker color than the photos. The real bottle says “French Avenue” in the middle and “Extrait de parfum” on the bottom of the front. The bottom of the bottle has a gold looking plate with french avenue on it.

Bad batch, mine wasn’t produced like it was meant to be
I agree with the guy “G” who also left a review with the past week… my explanation is the exact same as his… every batch is not made the same because I just received mine 3 days ago and it’s smelling super synthetic and it also hurt my lungs after 2 sprays…. Based off every one else reviews I realized that i don’t want to blame the cologne as a whole ISimply know that my batch wasn’t made correctly. Especially after seeing ONLY the people who left a review within the past week saying the same thing

Smells amazing!
French Avenue is killing it! this is my second fragrance from them and it’s such high quality for the money. I’ve never had Initio to compare this to but I will say these smelly waters are sexy and unique better than anything from target. dollar for dollar scent for scent you can’t compete I will keep buying from French avenue and this seller they are amazing.

Way too synthetic smelling
Packaging is beautiful. Everything is good quality but for some reason my batch was extremely synthetic and hurt my lungs to smell. After just 2 sprays it’s very strong and lasts very long. It has some DNA from side effect but it’s definitely missing the main notes. Can’t put my finger on it. Just my overall opinion and this will vary from person to person. If you’re looking for a clone of side effect consider looking for something else. This one just didn’t do it for me.
