Rehab

Initio Parfums Privés – a Paris-based niche house that pairs perfumery with neuroscience: so-called "neuroscents," concentrated compositions designed to work on mood and wellbeing.

Rehab is warm, spicy-creamy and dry-woody – bergamot and lavender open cool and aromatic, black pepper and spices warm the heart, before cedarwood, patchouli, sandalwood and hedione, backed by musk, settle into a dense, creamy base.

Rehab works all year and carries just as well from late afternoon into evening – a gender-neutral fragrance for anyone looking for a modern fougère as a reliable signature scent, without tipping into aftershave cliché.

What draws us to Rehab is how it frees the classic fougère – lavender, wood, musk – from its often stuffy aftershave reputation: hedione lifts the structure and makes it feel more transparent, while patchouli and sandalwood keep real depth underneath. Proof that the fougère isn't outdated, it just needed better materials.

THE SNUD SCENT GUIDE

Everything you want to know about this fragrance.

How does Rehab smell?

Warm and spicy-woody: bergamot and lavender up top, black pepper and spices at the heart, underscored by cedarwood, patchouli, sandalwood, hedione and musk.

How does Rehab feel?

Rehab sits closer to a creamy second skin than a loud cloud of scent – moderate projection, noticeably warm against the skin, with a dry, woody depth that only fully reveals itself after a while.

When do you wear Rehab?

Wearable all year, best from late afternoon into evening – a gender-neutral signature scent for the office, a date, or simply everyday life.

What else might I like if I love Rehab?

If you love Rehab's woody-fresh side, try Bois Imperial by Essential Parfums – a different brand in our lineup built on the same bergamot-cedarwood base, just brighter and more linear.
