Which Should You Buy?
Divisive and intriguing, Winners Trophy Gold isn't a safe blind buy. It walks a tightrope between fresh dewy rose and something more abstractly mineral and even leathery, evolving surprisingly over time.
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.
