Initio - Lift Me Up

Top Notes: Magnolia, Bergamot

Middle Notes: Tonka, Ylang Ylang

Base Notes: Vanilla, Musk

A 2025 release from Initio, and one of their more approachable ones. Unisex, warm without being heavy, and clean enough to wear anywhere.

It opens on magnolia and bergamot — bright and a little green, the kind of start that reads fresh but never sharp. The heart shifts warmer as tonka and ylang ylang come through, giving it a creamy floral center that keeps the whole thing soft rather than loud. What's left after a few hours is vanilla and musk sitting close to the skin, quiet and lingering.

Worth wearing if you want something modern that still finishes sweet.
