Magnetic Blend 7

I’m actually glad this is the “most hated” or the least mass appealing Initio fragrance because I actually fucking love it and it goes to discounters for STUPID cheap. Won’t say how, but got my bottle for like 90 bucks on Black Friday. Worth every penny. Some fragrances are often labeled ‘ethereal’ but this is different, there is really something ‘magnetic’ about it. Not a force of an attraction that clicks two pieces of metal together, but like the push and pull of all things in your orbit. This a great layering scent. Layers great with PDM Althair and probably other winter scents. This definitely is totally unisex, but not for everybody as it’s more of a scent that’s heavily dependent on your personality type. I think this is super underrated for the masculine scent profile though. Again, the less people who like it the cheaper it is for me, but I definitely think more people should be wearing this. Super unique. My message to Initio: I know it’s more expensive, but put the Magnetic Blends in different bottles. They are just too different from the rest of every other line, and if the product had wayyyy better marketing or again even just the packaging, I feel like everyone would know about it and go out of their way to test it once like they do with so many other ultra unique scents like this one. Different color bottle? The first clear glass bottles? Idk but it needs something

From a sample i recieved with Blessed Bakara. This is a very multifaceted fragrance upon first spray to me, i was initially confused if it was a clean sweet musk, a vanilla tonka, or a cashmere, either way its incredibly soft. The hint of Pheronomes toys with my senses, wether i am reading into it or not im unsure, but i get a calming sensation wearing this, After a few moments, i can start to get the musk protrude more, but its not a dirty musk, harsh or cloying, its a realky nice clean sweep of musk. I still get hints of vanilla but theyre undertones, and for me make this an even more enjoyable scent. Pheronomes? I really am not a chemist, and so i cannot validate any of that, but there are some scents which imbibe you with a feeling, wether it be sexy, angry, joyous or mellow. This i truly believe has me feeling relaxed and calm as i sniff it, so take that as you will, perhaps mental projection on my part or maybe a true pheronome? Easily a Unisex fragrance, and i can see this working on anyone, theres nothing dark about it to me, and nothing florally just a middle genre. Thats not a negative! This is certainly full bottle worthy for me, and will seat next to Baraka in my fridge. Update: i purchased a full bottle

At first, when I sniffed the bottle cap of this perfume, I felt like lightning struck into the deep top of my nose. I've never felt this before. I immediately started smiling like I was high on drugs or something :D This is magic! This perfume REALLY has that molecule similar to pheromones, it's magnetic! While wearing this I felt totally irresistible, confident, and couldn't stop sniffing my wristle. I almost fell in love with myself xD Anyway, the fragrance itself is sweet, but it's not like the other sweet perfumes. It's not synthetical sweetness, or some edible gourmand scent, it's animalic. Soft, convenient, close-to-skin sweet, which will immediately seduce you and make you crave for...hmmm ;) And there IS an oakmossy smell at the end of the drydown, which I didn't like, because it simply doesn't fit the perfume. That mossy waft could've been left out of the fragrance in my opinion. In spite of this, I'll DEFINITELY buy this perfume, and I'm going to update my review after using it for several times. I have high expectations for this stuff! :D

So, I finally got a sample of this fragrance yesterday, and it’s not as bad as people claim. What some people forget is that this fragrance enhances your skin’s natural scent. If it smells off or weird, it’s most likely not the fragrance’s fault, but rather your natural musk smells that way. For me, I get a similar experience with Silver Musk by Nasomatto, which is a metallic-musk fragrance. This isn’t metallic, but something about it gives that vibe. I sprayed three sprays on my hand, and it lasted 6-7 hours (even after washing my hands repeatedly and applying sanitizer since I work in a hospital). The projection was also better than expected. This might be my first Initio fragrance because I really liked it. 8/10

Magnetic Blend 7 definitely is unique. I have a very similar experience to you Silvery. Most amazing affect it has on me. It's fantastic. So sensual. I love wearing it. It is a beautiful animalic sweet, very skin-sweet musk. Warm and comforting. Very very seductive, oozes femaleness, and makes me feel I can do anything as I'm so irresistible! I love it with a passion. I looove the smell. Plus it lasts and lasts, and sends it's fabulous aroma through the whole room, strongly but softly. It's a wonderfully magnetic perfume. And the bottle is beautiful.

I think the genius of this perfume is that everyone experiences it differently, because it truly changes on each skin. For me, the scent is divine. A touch of sweetness, a hint of warmth, so much softness. It reminds me of a hug from my child. It reminds me of comfort. It reminds me of a cashmere scarf. It would have been my absolute favorite fragrance if it didn’t seem fleeting to me. I’m not sure if it’s actually short-lived, or if I just stop noticing It since it’s said to have great longevity.

This has become one of my favorites to wear - either alone or layered. So far this summer, I've worn it with my amber oil, and it's simply divine. I get a clean creamy sort of profile - as if you've just stepped out of a warm bath, and have put on some lux body cream and topped it off with a beautiful airy fragrance that acts like this is how you "naturally" smell. Each time I wore it I was told how nice I smelled. On its own, it wears way more sexy and dark, a little dirty in the best way!

This is indeed a very special musky scent! I would join the other reviewers here in saying that there's something about it that would strike you! So sensual and just indescribable.. On my skin, I get just a slight sweetness in addition to the woody undertone.. I've seen a review on YT saying it's a dirty musk, I would disagree! This is probably one of the cleanest musks I've ever sprayed on.. Definitely a full bottle worthy for those who love musky scents! Sexiness overload!!!

To anyone mentioning a "Dog Ear" smell, let it be known that THOSE PEOPLE STINK! This musk fragrance bonds with your skin to create a special scent unique to yourself. This is one of the more unique fragrances I have smelled, as the musk mixture creates a fascinating and special scent. Sadly, this fragrance does not last all too long, and does not radiate THAT well. Great layering piece though, as when I mixed it with Arabians Tonka, it smelled AMAZING!

Sweet white musk, little magic wand in a bottle. Perfect for being a fixative for more fleeting scents and at the same time super beautiful on it's own. Very light and elegant and quite long lasting. If you have warm skin or you live in hot climate this one is a must-have for this kind of weather. It is sexy without needing to be loud nor floral like more current rose-patchouli-amber fragrances massively released in past 10 years. Stunning!

This is absolutely amazing and super minimalist in the best way possible. This is the smell of natural musk. I guess all the hate it gets it’s because people like synthetic white musk and that’s what they expected. I love to wear it alone or to layer it with another fragrances Long lasting and works in every season and occasion. The best Initio 🖤

I understand why many people say this perfume smells like pencil shavings... it does... but imagine that your pencil is made of the most luxurious sandalwood. Great for layering, but also fantastic to use on its own. Definitely a cold day scent, best to use indoors since projection is rather intimate.

This is great! Clean musk and expensive smelling unisex scent. Fits all ages, but this leans more mature. It’s not in your face, project close to skin so this would be perfect for office. This is good for most of year, except in summer heat. Overall for this kind of fragrance it’s a 8,5/10

With musky, skin scents being so popular I cannot believe how slept on this is. The best way I can describe it is this is like the scent of actual clean, warm skin & Phlur’s Missing Person is that essence lingering on crisp sheets! 10/10 this fragrance just really makes me happy :)

Very very different scent absolutely,bravo..

It's the same kind of musk as is used for Narciso Rodrigues Musk for Her EDP Intense, minus the ylang-ylang and menthol. Just a very clean, slightly cool musky scent, very linear once it dries down (but what would you really expect from something like this?). I actually quite like it - it's good for those wanting a very discreet perfume, although musks may cause head aches for some people. It's a slightly animalic musk, but not dirty, not mineral, not salty. Smells like laundry that has been hanging outside. To me it's not at all like Silver Musk from Nasomatto, as that one has a metallic quality... or even a smoky + slightly sour quality. It is not as clean and simple as this one. Generally, I'm not a fan of Initio perfumes - many are a bit "too much" for me. This one isn't their typical perfume at all, and I like it.

I have worn this for the past week and this has been amazing scent by itself. It's warm and humid where I am and this projects fairly well, but also last quite a long time. With one note it's a clean musk smell. Reminds me of the 80's perfume without any extra notes. The price tag is quite steep, so I would recommend going to a discounter like I did to purchase. I haven't been able to put the bottle down. It's an amazing scent and my first from the Initio house. Musk Therapy gets a lot of hype around the community. But this doesn't get it's due credit. Day or Night. All Seasons you can wear this. Definitely worth a sample.

So this is supposed to be a molecular copy of real Russian deer musk 🦌. It's nice and not as pissy as real musk. More of a skin scent and I could see this working as a layering fixative. Soft scent, not as powerful as Kiels original musk but this lasts much longer than Kiels. If you like musk you'll like this. Not super animalic like Serge Lutens musc koublai khan, very tame IMO. Worth the price? You so have to take into account the research that went into producing this scent, and you pay a premium for that. And if you are an aficionado and appreciate perfumery as art, then it could be.

I only see one review mentioning white florals, but that's actually what drew me to it! I'm not a fan of this house so I ironically found this squeaky clean scent to be their best—Forget about deer musk, this is still that typical white stuff. While it's trendy to justify an overpriced fragrance that can't stand on its own through "layering," I prefer to say no when it just doesn't do enough (even though the beginning caught my attention).

Not groundbreaking or complex but smells effortlessly beautiful and blooms nicely on skin. On me this smells a lot like Tom Ford White suede from a few years ago and a less animalic Byredo Animalique. A beautiful, slightly floral musk and clean suede. Lasts 7+ hours on skin and makes me want to sniff my arms repetedly.
