Side Effect vs Rêverie

Shared character

Both fragrances feature a core of vanilla, rum and a leather accord, creating a base that is warm, slightly sweet and animalic.

How they differ

Side Effect leans toward spicy‑smoky territory with cinnamon and tobacco‑leaf notes, reinforced by a woody accord that isn’t present in Rêverie. Rêverie, by contrast, adds a sweet‑fruit dimension through strawberry, a warm‑earthy depth with patchouli and saffron, and a gourmand accord that give it a softer, more confectionary feel. Both share vanilla, rum and a leather accord, but they diverge in the supporting palette and overall character.

Who each suits

Side Effect’s spicy‑cinnamon, tobacco‑leaf and woody profile tends to suit those who prefer bold, evening‑oriented scents with a hint of smokiness. Rêverie’s inclusion of strawberry, musk, patchouli, saffron and a gourmand accord makes it a better match for wearers who enjoy sweeter, more sensual fragrances that can transition from day to night.
