There’s nothing like finding a fragrance that makes you feel as good as it smells. And that’s exactly what INITIO Parfums Privés set out to achieve with their latest launch, POWER SELF. A scent designed to channel confidence, inner strength, and positive energy. I’ve been wearing it over the past week and I can honestly say, it’s not just a perfume, it’s an experience.
The Scent: Fresh, Bold and Comforting All At Once
POWER SELF is a beautifully harmonious fragrance that somehow feels both bright and grounding. It opens with a burst of pink pepper, adding an instant zing and vibrancy that wakes up the senses. This peppery introduction softens into a floral heart of white rose, osmanthus, and magnolia, bringing a fresh, petal-soft elegance to the mix.
The real magic happens in the dry down. Where ambrox, cedarwood, and musk create a creamy, warm base that clings to the skin in the best way. It’s smooth, comforting, and lingers without being overpowering. Think of it as wrapping yourself in a clean, sun-warmed cashmere throw after a long day. Effortlessly chic and quietly powerful.
Why It’s More Than a Fragrance
What makes POWER SELF so interesting is how it was created with the idea of emotional wellness in mind. INITIO often explores the relationship between scent and mood, and this one is designed to help awaken inner confidence and clarity. Whether or not you believe in the science of scent and energy. There’s no denying this perfume makes you feel a little taller, a little bolder, and somehow more at ease.
The Bottle: Minimalist with a Statement
Housed in INITIO’s signature clean-lined bottle, POWER SELF stands out with its subtle yet striking design. The rich, nude-toned lacquered glass feels modern, elegant, and entirely unisex — just like the fragrance itself.
Final Thoughts
If you love fragrances that blend floral, woody, and musky notes with a contemporary, feel-good twist, INITIO POWER SELF is worth a try. It’s the kind of scent that feels polished yet personal, equally at home for daily wear or a night out. It’s officially earned a permanent spot on my top shelf.
Other fragrances I love and recently reviewed are Oud for Greatness Hair Perfume (review here), Oud for Greatness Neo (review here), and Narcotic Delight (review here).
