Blessed Baraka by Initio Parfums Prives is a warm, powdery amber built around musk and sandalwood. Amber and musk open it straight away, smoothed by sandalwood and a soft wash of vanilla. White flowers sit quietly underneath, giving it a slightly animalic warmth rather than anything sharp. Released in 2015, it works for men and women alike, and suits anyone drawn to warmth over freshness. Voters keep it for winter and autumn, worn mainly in the evening and at night. Wearers' longevity vote leans long-lasting, while sillage leans strong, so a light hand goes a long way. A 3ml decant is enough to live with it through a handful of cold evenings before you decide on more.

The house
More from Initio Parfums Prives
Initio Parfums Prives is a French niche house, launched in 2015 around one idea: that a scent can change how you feel, and its perfume names say so openly. Most of the range is warm and woody, with musk, sandalwood and vanilla at the base and pink pepper, black pepper or saffron for a spark. Side Effect is the one to try first: tobacco, rum and warm spice. Oud for Greatness, as the name promises, is built around oud. Musk Therapy is cleaner, citrus and florals resting on musk, and Rehab is a woody lavender with a herbal side.
