Which Should You Buy?
Unless you're layering or hunting for a very specific musky rose, Power Self probably isn't for you. It's safe, pretty, and utterly forgettable, drawing endless comparisons to cheaper, more established scents. Prepare for disappointment if you expect Initio's usual boldness.
A divisive take on rose that splits opinion. You'll either get an uplifting, dewy fresh rose with a zesty kick, or a disappointingly fleeting 'lemonade' scent that barely lasts. It's a modern, playful twist that some will adore, while others bemoan the lack of traditional rose depth and longevity.

Occasions
