Intro Aftermath is a clone of Initio Side Effect and is absolutely delicious.

Really close to the original, yet it’s not as „dense“.

It's basically another Side Effect clone, as is Purple Effect, but Intro Aftermath is generally a bit cheaper than Purple Effect.

There are also 2 perfumes from Fragrance World that I'm interested in buying: Intro Aftermath (dupe of Initio Side Effect) and Mocha Wood.
