Released in 2025 as the fifth chapter in Initio Parfums Privés’ celebrated Hedonist Collection, Lift Me Up is the French niche house at its most luminous — a floral-amber masterpiece that channels the transformative energy of sunlight into wearable form. Following the soothing of the body (Rehab), the reconnection to emotions (Musk Therapy), the alignment of body and mind (Paragon), and the boost to self-confidence (Power Self), Lift Me Up marks the final step on Initio’s path toward joy — a fragrance designed not just to be worn, but to be felt. Backed by science and driven by emotion, this radiant composition is built on a generous overdose of musk that fuses with the skin like sunlight itself, releasing waves of warmth and vitality. The fragrance opens with a sparkling, mood-lifting burst of zesty bergamot, exotic ylang-ylang, and delicate magnolia — bright, luminous, and instantly captivating, like the first golden ray breaking through morning clouds. At its heart, creamy roasted tonka bean meets the velvety exoticism of ylang-ylang, building a silky, almond-laced centre that softens the floral brightness into something irresistibly comforting. The dry-down is the soul of Lift Me Up: a sumptuous duet of bourbon vanilla and Initio’s signature white musk wraps the wearer in a long-lasting, addictive trail that lingers like sun-warmed skin at golden hour — radiant, creamy, and unmistakably luxurious.

Mood & Occasion
Lift Me Up is the scent of pure radiant joy — uplifting, sensual, and unmistakably grown-up. Its floral-amber-vanilla character makes it especially beautiful in spring and summer, perfect for daytime wear, brunches, holidays, beach getaways, weddings, and any warm-weather moment that calls for a fragrance with sun-kissed elegance. The creamy tonka-vanilla-musk base also gives it enough warmth to carry beautifully into autumn and cooler evenings, making it a true year-round signature for the wearer who treats fragrance as wearable mood. A perfect choice for those seeking stress relief, summer vibes, or simply a brighter outlook — a luxurious mood-booster captured in scent.
Longevity & Sillage
Outstanding performance — true Initio Extrait de Parfum quality. Reviewers consistently report 10+ hours of wear on skin and significantly longer on fabric — many noting the scent lingering on clothing for days with enveloping, luminous sillage. Sillage is generous and head-turning in the opening hours before settling into a creamy, addictive, second-skin musk that draws people in close. Two to three sprays will see you through a full day with confidence and a radiant trail. A genuine compliment magnet — many wearers describe it as their most consistently complimented fragrance from the moment they put it on.
Who It’s For
Beautifully unisex and worn equally well by men and women, Lift Me Up is for the wearer drawn to creamy floral-musk-vanilla niche compositions with mood-lifting character — the connoisseur who values craftsmanship, emotional intention, and the kind of fragrance that feels like wearable sunshine. It’s a natural fit for fans of Initio Musk Therapy, Power Self, Paragon, and Rehab (its sibling fragrances in the Hedonist Collection), as well as Carolina Herrera Cedar Chic, Narciso Rodriguez Pure Musc Blanc, Lattafa Nebras Elixir, and other refined creamy-floral-vanilla creations. Pair it with sun-kissed skin, golden tans, silk slips, linen whites, gold jewellery, and warm-toned makeup. Layer it under an unscented vanilla or musk body lotion to extend its glow, layer it with other Hedonist Collection fragrances for a bespoke mood blend, or wear it solo for a fragrance that already feels like a complete emotional experience.
The radiance of the sun, captured in a bottle — for those who understand that the most magnetic luxuries are the ones that make you feel like the best version of yourself.
