Wearers say
Wearing it
Initio Rehab delivers a smooth, calming blend of lavender, spices, and creamy woods with intimate projection. Longevity lasts an average workday, but its close similarity to Spicebomb divides buyers.
How far it carriesIntimate scent bubble moderate projection
Perfumers call it sillage.
Wearers find it sits in a soft, polite bubble rather than filling a room.
“Rehab is and musk therapy are simply not heavy scents and that is why you feel that they don’t project like crazy.”

As a blind buySampling strongly advised over blind buying
Because of price and similarities to Spicebomb, wearers urge getting a decant before committing.
“It’s one of the many reasons why people recommend sampling or buying a decant before a full bottle and rarely if ever blind buying.”

Some say
Some wearers emphasize sampling because blind buys can disappoint if expecting heavy projection.
“Out of all my 40ish fragrances, this is in my top 3. I absolutely adore it.”
