Power Self

$375.00

Pink pepper opens alone, just long enough to assert itself before magnolia, white rose, and osmanthus arrive and pull it into a floral accord that's powdery and soft rather than sharp. Osmanthus adds its faint suede-and-apricot quality to the white flower composition, giving Power Self a subtle complexity that prevents it from reading as purely clean. Ambrox Super and cedarwood in the base are the structural load-bearers, creating a sillage that's close to skin but persistent, the kind of trail that reads as presence rather than perfume.

Why We Carry This

Power Self is Initio's wager that a musky floral built around Ambrox Super can do what the house's heavier compositions do through different means. It's a compelling argument, and the osmanthus in the heart is the detail that makes it land.
