What do reviewers say about Narcotic Delight and Saaqi?
Initio does not do subtlety. Narcotic Delight is dense, slightly animalic, and built for people who want to be noticed. Otherwise, this is not for the cubicle.Narcotic Delight
The wine note isn't faint. It's the first thing you smell, and it works because the tobacco and smoke take over before you can call it a gimmick. What starts as something bold settles into something.Saaqi
