Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Power Self

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.

Our Verdict - Iceberg Twice Platinum

This one's a bit of a chameleon, often mistaken for something high-end without the designer price tag. It's a solid, woody-amber everyday scent that won't blow anyone's socks off but reliably gets the job done for a variety of situations.
