Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Power Self Extrait

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 - Mademoiselle Ricci Eau de Parfum

A divisive blend of powdery rose and sharp pink pepper, Mademoiselle Ricci is either a creamy, romantic dream for some or a headache-inducing throwback to 'old-fashioned' scents for others. Test before you commit, as skin chemistry is everything here.

Season and Occasion Fit

Power Self Extrait

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Sport

Given its moderate sillage and clean, airy profile, Power Self is ideal for casual wear and the office. It's generally considered inoffensive, making it a safe choice though perhaps lacking the oomph for a truly formal event or a standout date night.

Mademoiselle Ricci Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate sillage and soft, clean musky-rose profile make it office-safe and ideal for daytime casual wear. The elegant, romantic vibe also lends itself well to date nights, though its powdery nature might feel a bit too 'vintage' for very formal events. It's definitely not for sport.
