## Essence
High Frequency is a creamy almond-magnolia EDP built around Hedione, the material that gives its white floral heart a radiant, airy lift. It turns a familiar almond-gourmand idea into something softer, more floral and more skin-close.
## Scent Profile
Almond arrives first with a marzipan and cherry-pit effect. It is creamy rather than overtly sugary, though the same material can read rubbery or medicinal to a sensitive nose. Magnolia keeps the opening floral and lotion-like.
Hedione runs through the heart, adding an abstract jasmine brightness. Jasmine and heliotrope make the floral effect powdery, while retaining enough air to prevent the almond from becoming a dense pastry accord.
Vanilla and sandalwood soften the drydown. They do not take over; instead they round the almond into a warm, powdered finish. The fragrance stays recognizable throughout, becoming quieter and more velvety rather than changing shape dramatically.
## Performance
It is long lasting, often through a full day, but its projection is moderate and intimate rather than explosive. It gives a close scent bubble, making it gentler than many Initio releases.
## Wearing Context
Fall and winter are natural, especially for sweaters, dates and cozy evenings. Its airy white floral quality also makes it suitable for weddings and selected daytime use. It is unisex and can read differently across gender expectations.
## Comparisons & DNA
Dior Hypnotic Poison is the key comparison. High Frequency keeps the almond-vanilla-white-floral idea but is smoother, creamier and more airy, with less of the sharper plasticky edge.
Parfums de Marly Pegasus is close enough that some consider owning both redundant. High Frequency is generally brighter and more floral; Pegasus is sweeter and creamier. Teint de Neige is a powderier adjacent reference.
## Reception
Many wearers call it a beautiful creamy almond floral and a standout in the Initio range. Its softness, sensuality and persistence are the main attractions.
Others find the almond synthetic, rubbery, like play dough or simply too much like expensive body lotion. The high price intensifies that divide. Sample first: the almond facet determines the entire experience.
## Versions & Reformulation
It is a single 90 ml EDP with no known reformulation. Retail collection labels have varied, but the fragrance itself remains the same.
## Acquisition Notes
This is a high-ticket single-size niche bottle. Samples and decants are widely available and are the rational route before committing, especially because almond is the composition's polarizing element.
## Notable Facts & Lore
- Hedione is the central radiant jasmine-adjacent material.
- The name follows Initio's sound-wave attraction marketing.
