Blessed Baraka is for me a dark fragrance. From the pyramid should not be influenced too much. The notes given are indeed present, whether this is so complete I dare to doubt. Like so many, I also perceive a cherry vibe, in addition to light boozy vibes. This makes this fragrance very unique and for me it is most likely a fragrance for the dark hours of the day. Blessed Baraka by Initio Parfums Privés (2015) is the muscular gym rat brother of Parfums de Marly Carlisle (2015) from the sibling house owned by the same parent company. Right away you will notice the link between the two if you have smelled both, but while Carlisle has some animalic tones and synth oud blended with tobacco to make it mysterious and masculine, Blessed Baraka seems to go for the throat with the synthetic macrocyclic musks seeking to emulate the sour musky lactones naturally occurring in real animalics, while also contradicting them with a clean barrage of tonka and white florals. This confusing mix of "I'm strong like an ox but gentle like a lamb" makes Blessed Baraka seem incredibly unbalanced and cheap-smelling, as if you were smelling a budget clone of itself rather than the real deal, but that's how it goes with this hit-or-miss luxury-tier perfume brand. I'm not loving this one, but overall opinions are about as disparate as they come for the stuff. The Blessed Baraka is a really beautiful sweet-spicy musk fragrance, whose class lies in its simplicity and perfect balance. What I mean by that? Oliver, Haneef James. (2002). The Wahhabi myth: dispelling prevalent fallacies and the fictitious link with Bin Laden. Victoria, B.C.: Trafford. ISBN 1-55395-397-5. OCLC 51274504. source of blessing: Abraham Genesis 12:2 (J); Israel Isaiah 19:24; Ezekiel 34:26; Zechariah 8:13; seed of the righteous Psalm 37:26; the king Psalm 21:7; memory of the righteous Proverbs 10:7; new wine Isaiah 65:8.Rehab opens up fresh, clean and spicy with a blast of bergamot citrus mixed with lavender and some spicy tobacco.

Absolute Aphrodisiac is more suited for the mature 25-up crowd and best worn in cool weather: fall & winter (avoid use in the high heat). If you like that type of fragrance, then I think you are going to LOVE Rehab. That said, as Rehab dries down it takes its very own intoxicating direction… Overall, Initio is a brand that absolutely flashes me and the fragrances simply remain in memory and you feel comfortable with these creations. After Rehab, Musk Therapy and Side Effect already my fourth. Absolute Aphrodisiac is an EDP and projects just under arm’s length for the first 1–2 hours, then sits closer to the skin, lasting around 8–10 plus hours.The ultimate source for barakah is God. Allah bestows blessings and barakah upon who he wills and what he wills and is not limited in any aspect. You’re left with a smooth creamy and slightly powdery nutty almond vibe with a hint of vanilla sweetness and subtle floral undertones. The durability and sillage are simply top with this fragrance, no Beastmode, but a definitely striking, potent fragrance As it settles the heliotrope creeps in… joined with a hint of sandalwood and vanilla to smooth everything out. believes me.. Perhaps it will help if I mention that my hangover is many times more brutal than I am? D
