After Effect Extrait EDP 80ml by French Avenue

The box is very high quality and came un-damaged. It smells identical to Initio Side Effect. The first couple seconds smells a little weird (the alcohol has to go away) but after like 5 seconds it smells like Side Effect. I took a shower after wearing it for like 10 minutes and I still smell it just as strong as when I first sprayed it. The dry down is super good too. The inside of the box is super smooth and fits the cologne perfect. The cologne bottle feels super high quality and it has weight. It looks similar to Lataffa Badee al oud amethyst. The top says French Avenue, and the bottle is a darker color than the photos. The real bottle says “French Avenue” in the middle and “Extrait de parfum” on the bottom of the front. The bottom of the bottle has a gold looking plate with french avenue on it.

Really nice 👌

At first spray, After Effect smells 1:1 with Side Effect. On the dry down, it starts to separate itself, and lose its intensity on the skin. The original retains strong and intense notes on the dry down, AfterEffect on the other hand smells more powdery on the drydown. For the money, it is a very good Side Effect inspired fragrance, I’d say 95% at first spray and 85% on the drydown. Further, given the high price of the original, this is a great way to smell like the original at a very affordable price. I am very impressed by this fragrance and will definitely repurchase. This is simply too good for the price. One of my fave fragrance pickups on Amazon.

Smells good. It’s pretty sweet at first but that sorta fades. Doesn’t smell like side effect to me as much as some claim. Still worth it. Get compliments when it’s worn. Longevity is there. Projection is there. Nice packaging. I recommend it.

Doesn't smell a thing like Side Effect. Extremely extremely tough opening, it opens with a really bitter and burnt tobacco/rubber smell and then kinda dries down to a more cinnamon boozy deal but i just can't get passed that opening. The burnt smell lingers the entire time and it just smells horrible. Super cute bottle but not a chance i'm wearing this.

I love this perfume, the fragrance smell so good

Packaging 10/10. Strange opening scent but after hours sitting it began to smell better. Doesn’t last very long unfortunately but as this is very inexpensive one cannot complain.

I dont normally write reviews this fast as I only tried on the product 10 minutes ago, but Fragrance World did something to this fragrance that puts it well above and beyond Side Effect for me. Upon the first 2 sprays, I was blown away. This smells INCREDIBLE and even better than Side Effect somehow. I’m no expert and am just going by my reaction to the real Side Effect on my skin (I liked it a lot!) and THIS. I love this WAY more and my reaction was all I needed to know this. I’m not worried about longevity as the price is right on this, but I dont imagine it’ll disappoint and I will definitely update this review if it does. But right now? This is an absolute no-brainer. Hats off to FA Paris. This is my first from them and now I want more. Absolutely happy I bought this and is right up there with Lattafa Khamrah Qahwa as my fav Amazon fragrance purchases EVER.
