After Effect vs Side Effect
French Avenue After Effect, claimed to share the DNA of Initio Side Effect. Here is what we can verify — and what we refuse to guess.


The numbers
| Initio Side Effect | $420 / 90ml | $467/100ml |
| French Avenue After Effect | EUR 32.99 ≈$36 | $45/100ml (80ml bottle) |
The gap: per 100ml, Initio Side Effect costs about 10x what French Avenue After Effect does.
What we do not claim
No lab analysis, no percentage match score — nobody honest can compute one. Longevity and projection usually differ; the opening is typically where the resemblance is strongest.
