Magnetic Blend 8

Starts strong, 2 sprays and you are good for the day. The smell is incense mixed with heated raisins, smoky , Kind of creed Aventus vibe minus the fruity/citrus components.To some extend it does feel like there is a hint of bitter almond also there. Different kind of smell yet simple. Got 2 compliments in Gym and was wearing on a rainy cold day.

Love this scent , warm and intense. scent: 9/10 longevity: 9/10 sillage: 8/10

Am I the only one who smells ginger in it? I like it, yammm!

A perfume based on musk and Frankincense and finally Incense Early Smell like fodder and caramel sweets will feel . even you can feel a little dirty state . When you spray your perfume, it is sweet but after 20 minutes,Perfume will be bitter and dark . after that your perfume will be linear and slowly Will become less and less official style it is Suitable for people 30 years and older the fragrance is High quality Longevity = 6/10 Sillage = 4.5/10 نام عطر برگفته از محتویات و شکل ظاهری شیشه هست وقتی عطر رو پوستتون تست کنید بویی با شیرینی کنترل شده و کاملا آشنایی رو حس خواهید کرد که حسی علوفه مانند و شیرینی شبیه به شیرینی کارامل رو متوجه میشید کمی بوی کثیف مانندی هم احساس میشه با این تفاسیر نت اولیه عطر رو مشک و صمغ کندر تشکیل میدهند بعد از چند دقیقه رایحه بخور به عطر اضافه شده و عطر رو سنگین تر می کنه که شیرینی عطر هم بازم قوی تر میشه تا 20 دقیقه این شیرینی ادامه داره و بعد از اون کم رنگ تر و کم رنگ تر میشه. پس بعد از 20 دقیقه از اسپری عطر دیگه تقریبا بوش خطی میشه و عطر حس تلخ تری رو به خودش میگیره گرمایی سوزاننده تلخی همانند زهر و تاریکی همانند تاریکی شب تا جایی که بنده مطلع هستم تو این عطر از فرومون هم استفاده شده که در اسم عطر هم به عنوان مغناطیس اشاره ای به این نوع خاصیت عطر شده عطر حالت خشک مانند داره و رفته رفته هم اون شیرین صمغی از بین رفته و شما یه عطر چوبی و دودی بسیار شیک رو تجربه خواهید کرد سبک بوی عطر برای کسانی که از عطرهای دودی و سنگین استفاده کرده اند آشنا و خوشایند خواهد بود و به شخصهاین نوع سبک بو رو میپسندم استایل عطر کاملا رسمیه سنین بالای 30 سال رو پوشش میده ماندگاری و پخش بوی خوبی داره از کیفیت بالایی برخوردار هست و در آخر با این که این عطر رو یونی سکس اعلام کردند ولی اصلا به درد خانوم ها نمیخوره

This is essentially a straight up frankincense fragrance. On my skin it starts out rather bright (almost zingy and citrusy), and the dry down becomes a bit more woody and resinous, but it is rather linear. This does have a religious or “church-y” vibe to it. I believe that the Magnetic Blends were designed for layering. I’d like to try this one with Psychedelic Love and see how that wears. As far as comparing this to Habdan, although they both have frankincense, Habdan is myrrh-dominant, and is much more complex (more notes/layers).

Very simple frankincense, not the craziest ever. Its warm and dusty, a little spicy in the opening but is pretty straightforward and linear, makes a good layering scent that sticks close to your skin 4-6 hours but isn't really bottle worthy or anything, just smells like a stick of incense. Coming back to this, it’s captures moreso the dusty part of like holding a handful of Sacra Frankincense along with a burning note but still stands unimpressive, I’d rather wear Frankincense oil

Incense fragrances usually give off a mysterious effect, but Magnetic Blend 8 really takes it to a new level! The incense that I smell is what I would smell in the air of an old, but beautiful church, it isn't raw unburnt incense. There is a little bit of a rubbery smell, but not in a bad way. This quality takes away the cold sharpness that usually accompany an incense based fragrance, and replaces it with a warmer, rounder profile. Mysterious, alluring, and aromatic!

for those who love Lavs Filippo Sorcinelli like me, then this work is wonderfull. of course it is also very close to Lavs with the same quality all in all if you give the Lavs 10 of 10 then initio blend 8 could get 6 of 10. performance is less than Lavs or smoke of god. don't forget best regards is only for you which are importance than any fragrance

Such a great layering scent! It's rich, earthy, smokey, a bit animalic... Like a dark forest after the rain. I reach for it when I feel melancholic. A cozy leather chair and a good book pairs well with "Magnetic Blend 8". If you like oakmoss & old library smell, try it! Very slightly reminds me of "This is Him by Zadig & Voltaire".

Strange fragrance. Up close I don’t care for it. There is a cold flinty element to it which is unappealing but radiating off of me I sort of get the frankincense but mostly I get lemon bars or a condensed milk based lemon meringue pie with a flakey crust. Very odd. Just connected the dots. Anyone else getting a snoot full of musk?

This is a pale version of Oud For Greatness. Has a bit of an industrial smell. I would not recommend. Try Side Effect. It's beautiful and edgy.

OMG...are you kidding me? Frankincense and musk! Where? I am so interested to see others' reviews on this fragrance. For me, this is a hard straight OH HELL NO! Who on God's green earth would wish to walk around smelling like this? Upon application, I smelled like I poured a heavy douse of spent motor oil and WD40 that had been stored in an old metal tin can all over my body and clothing. I literally smelled like the cement floor of a backyard mechanic's garage who has stuff totally strewn about...spent motor oil & lubricating fluids, metal tools & greasy tool boxes, piles of old worn tires...thus the image Magnetic Blend 8 evoked in my head. And I couldn't get the scent off. I rarely scrub but I thought I was going to vomit from the never ending oily, gasoline-y, rubber-y smells. Cannot imagine anyone wanting to wear this but definitely not a woman, although the fragrance is marketed as unisex. Blecch. Not at all for me. Cannot even imagine...

I had high expectations for this one,i blind bought it and now am full of regrets, it worked so badly on my skin and few of my friends told me it smells abnoctious , i tried to layer but couldn't make it work, i even tried it with oud but it completely ruined it, the incence took over and created a mess, strangely enough i had a decant of MGBno1(the one that every one dislikes) layered with side effect and people went crazy over it, that thing is potent but certainly not abnoctious like all people claims on the reviews,i had dinner with a friend of 5 years he told me i smelled gorgeous and sexier than ever he couldn't stop finding excuses to get closer to me i also got compliments from the waiters and the taxi driver... anyways i am not willing to keep MGB8 and if you are in dubai and willing to swap feel free to message me.

It is a so normal and lineal perfume I have bought it with great discount on Black Friday since I was entering my scent journey and tried to get a "pheromone"-containing product, but anyway I don't actually know if it contains. I don't wear it to public neither but sometimes I wear it before sleep to hace incency smell envolved around me to have a calm feeling. Not recommended for its price but it is pleasent. I think it should be like 60-80 perfume other than the price tag. Later on I am hating the comercial tricks and extraordinary pricing for what they actually offer.

oh no. this fragrance is just overwhelmingly sour and sharp. disgusting, honestly :(

Incensey and slightly woody scent. Unfortunately 100% synthetic. They claim that they worked with a German scientist to replicate natural smells in lab settings. They suggest that you layer Magnetic Blend series with Absolute series to obtain a unique scent. I have tried Absolutes and found out that they were pretty complete on their own. Used solely, this fragrance has no character at all. Why on earth would you ever pay niche price to a synthetic characterless scent? I like to discover new niche offerings and expand my 200+ collection but Initio Magnetic Blends are very disappointing.

I absolutely love this scent. If you like deep, dark, and rich, you should try this. Its Frankincense forward. I have a shop near me that sells frankincense resin incense....thick black sticks with pure resin. This scent to me smells just like them. It is linear to my nose, but I don't mind in this case. Its a scent I put on and love getting wafts of as I move about. I have not worn it long enough to get compliments. I can see how it may be polarizing. Basically, you'd have to appreciate the frankincense smell. If you do, this one is a winner and highly recommended.

I was expecting something in the ballpark of Bois d’Encens, Lavs, Full Incense, Avignon etc. While it opens with a promising hint of frankincense, it very quickly goes sweet and overpowering. It has the same unbearable blackberry note in it as Silver Iris by Atelier Cologne. I couldn’t hang out with it long enough to make a full report.

I have Pdm Habdan and I just compared it to Mag 8. There are similarities but Mag 8 takes a water/metallic induced turn. It has a damp vibe making it swampish. The smell isn't bad but I feel the fragrance is incomplete. It just stopped shy of being great. I'll stick to Pdm Habdan, seems to be blended better.

This is a powerhouse that dries down to pure and lingering frankincense and nothing else. I adore this note but NOT for this exorbitant price tag. Adendum: I tried it again today and it smells very bitter and unpleasant. I dislike oud and it reminds me of a fragrance full of it!
