How strong is Lift Me Up compared with an eau de parfum?

It is an extrait de parfum, the highest concentration Initio sells in this line. Expect fewer sprays to go further and a longer wear than a typical eau de parfum.

Is it more floral or more vanilla?

It opens floral, with ylang-ylang and magnolia over bergamot. The dry-down is dominated by roasted tonka bean and vanilla, so the vanilla wins in the end.

Yes, the composition is shared. The white florals lean feminine to some noses and the woods and tonka lean masculine to others, so try it on skin before committing.

When should I wear it?

It suits evenings and cool weather best. The sweetness and strength can feel heavy in summer heat, where a lighter spray count helps.

What notes are in it?

Ylang-ylang, bergamot, magnolia, roasted tonka beans, vanilla and woods.

Our take on the Lift Me Up by Initio Parfums Prives 3oz Extrait De Parfum Spray for Unisex

Lift Me Up is a unisex extrait de parfum from Initio built on ylang-ylang, magnolia and bergamot over roasted tonka bean, vanilla and woods. It is a floral amber, so the opening is bright and sunny while the dry-down turns warm, sweet and creamy. The extrait concentration means it wears close and lasts through a long day, which suits people who want a soft warm floral rather than a loud statement scent. Against other vanilla-floral ambers, it leans more on white florals and less on sugar, though the sweetness in the base is still the main talking point.
