About this deal

Don’t be put off by the name of this fragrance. This is NOT one of those traditional skanky animalic type of oud scents. This is a sophisticated, well put together scent that contains natural Indian oud oil. Find sources: "Barakah"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( December 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Blessed Baraka by Initio Parfums Privés (2015) is the muscular gym rat brother of Parfums de Marly Carlisle (2015) from the sibling house owned by the same parent company. Right away you will notice the link between the two if you have smelled both, but while Carlisle has some animalic tones and synth oud blended with tobacco to make it mysterious and masculine, Blessed Baraka seems to go for the throat with the synthetic macrocyclic musks seeking to emulate the sour musky lactones naturally occurring in real animalics, while also contradicting them with a clean barrage of tonka and white florals. This confusing mix of "I'm strong like an ox but gentle like a lamb" makes Blessed Baraka seem incredibly unbalanced and cheap-smelling, as if you were smelling a budget clone of itself rather than the real deal, but that's how it goes with this hit-or-miss luxury-tier perfume brand. I'm not loving this one, but overall opinions are about as disparate as they come for the stuff. a gift, present Genesis 33:11 (E) Joshua 15:19 (J) Judges 1:15; 1 Samuel 25:27; 1 Samuel 30:26; 2 Kings 5:15; נֶפֶשׁ בְּרָכָה a liberal person Proverbs 11:25 (compare Syriac , Ethiopic ). This works well all year round, except in the high summer heat: special occasions, dates, work/office safe (spray lightly), casual, nights out, etc…

Side Effect is an EDP and has great projection (about 4ft) for the first 3 hours and leaves a gorgeous scent trail. As the name suggests, Absolute Aphrodisiac is part of the Absolute collection. But does it live up to its name? Herod: So, I wore Herod a day after wearing Tobacco Vanille (unintentionally) and aside from having tobacco and vanilla as dominant accords, they're not that similar. Herod is softer, the vanilla is more obvious but still well blended. The tobacco note is also softer, I'd say TV has a sharper tobacco note. This is more my speed than TV, even though I think both are great fragrances. Performance is great and I love the drydown. Not interested in buying this in any quantity, but if you like the tobacco/vanilla profile, you'll probably love this!Blessed Baraka is for me a dark fragrance. From the pyramid should not be influenced too much. The notes given are indeed present, whether this is so complete I dare to doubt. Like so many, I also perceive a cherry vibe, in addition to light boozy vibes. This makes this fragrance very unique and for me it is most likely a fragrance for the dark hours of the day. b. of God Exodus 32:29 (E) Leviticus 25:21 (P) Deuteronomy 11:26,27,29; Deuteronomy 23:6 (= Nehemiah 13:2) Deuteronomy 28:2; Deuteronomy 28:8; Deuteronomy 30:1; Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 8:34 (D) 2 Samuel 7:29; Psalm 3:9; Psalm 21:4; Psalm 133:3; Isaiah 44:3; Ezekiel 34:26; Ezekiel 44:30; Joel 2:14; Malachi 3:10; ברכת יהוה Genesis 39:5 (J) Deuteronomy 12:15; Deuteronomy 16:17; Deuteronomy 33:23; Psalm 129:8; Proverbs 10:22; ׳ ברכה מאת י Psalm 24:5; ברכת אברהם Genesis 28:4 (P), the blessing given to Abraham. Don’t go crazy with the sprays. This is definitely a “less is more” type fragrance… 1–2 sprays MAX and you’re good to go.

In every house there are the "hypes", at Xerjoff it is for example XJ 1861 Naxos , or Erba Pura , at PDM it is for example Layton . With Initio, from my point of view, it is the Side Effect, the Oud for Greatness or the Musk Therapy . Then there are fragrances - like the Blessed Baraka - which are fortunately and unfortunately not rightly in the shadow of the greats, the real "hidden champions". Baraka is a prominent concept in Islamic mysticism, particularly Sufism. [3] It pervades Sufi texts, beliefs, practices, and spirituality. Sufism emphasizes the importance of esoteric knowledge and the spiritual union with God through the heart. Baraka symbolizes this connection between the divine and the worldly through God's direct and intentional blessing of those that are most reflective of Him and his teachings. Absolute Aphrodisiac is an EDP and projects just under arm’s length for the first 1–2 hours, then sits closer to the skin, lasting around 8–10 plus hours.

Psychedelic Love is more suited for the mature 20-up crowd and performs great all year (except in the high summer heat and/or humid locations). As it settles the heliotrope creeps in… joined with a hint of sandalwood and vanilla to smooth everything out. Rehab opens up fresh, clean and spicy with a blast of bergamot citrus mixed with lavender and some spicy tobacco. Baraka, from Mortal Kombat. A character with razor-sharp teeth in his mouth and long blades on his wrists, making him one of the deadliest characters in the game. A bad guy you'd rather not meet in the dark. Well, not even during the day. Oh, you just have to google him, then you know what I mean :D To start, you get a very cherry vibe. Not like the usual cherry scents a la Lost Cherry, but rather boozy and dark. Also a nice dark spice is present. There is something dark and mystical about this opening in particular. It is pleasant, but not this typical crowdpleaser. This boozy note makes it special & unique, perfect not to smell like every 2nd in the "club". As it progresses it becomes more pleasing, even though there is not quite as much progression in this scent as most Initios. I like it well. As it progresses, the sandalwood note comes out well and convinces with a woody amber-vanilla-musk combo. The basic DNA of the opening but still resonates.
