Initio Parfums Prives has leased a space at 784 Madison Avenue (between 66th and 67th streets), according to @TradedNY. The perfume brand claims to offer “functional fragrances, engineered to elevate, transform and positively impact people’s lives,” as described on the company’s overly dramatic website. A description of what appears to be one of the brand’s top sellers, “SIDE EFFECT,” claims it “seizes the senses, sending a shiver through the body. Desire awakens, senses blur, and a magnetic tension ignites the mind, inflaming intentions. As seduction intensifies, raw attraction becomes inevitable.” A 90ml bottle goes for $316.92.
