I’m kinda obsessed with this. It smells rich without going too sweet or too dark. On my skin I get musk, a little pepper, and creamy sandalwood, and the whole thing feels super smooth from start to finish. No harsh stage, no weird drydown, just quality. It doesn’t remind me exactly of BR540 or Delina or anything trendy like that, which I actually appreciate. This feels more grown, more grounded, more quietly sexy. Projection is strong for the first couple hours and then it sits closer, but I kept catching it all day. Def one of those fragrances that makes you want to keep smelling your wrist.
This is gorgeous. Power Self has that polished Initio vibe, but it feels easier to wear than some of the heavier ones. I get a smooth musky warmth with a soft creamy wood thing going on, and there’s a clean spicy touch in the opening that makes it feel super put together. It honestly gives me that “better posture instantly” kind of mood. Not loud in an obnoxious way, just really present and classy. I’ve worn it out and to work and it somehow fits both. Lasted around 7-8 hours on me with really nice projection for the first few. Easy 5 stars, I love this stuff.
Tbh this is one of my favorite recent releases. It has that clean skin but better effect, with musk up front for me, then some soft woods and a subtle amber warmth underneath. Nothing feels harsh or overdone. That’s what I really love about it. It’s sexy in a low-key way, not screaming for attention like some clubbing fragrances. More like quiet confidence. I’ve already gotten multiple compliments wearing this, and every time I catch a whiff of the drydown I’m like yup, still obsessed. Projection is strong for the first couple hours, then it sits closer and stays there forever. Really easy 5 stars.
Some perfumes need a whole mood. This one doesn’t. I can just spray it on and instantly feel better because it’s fresh, slightly floral, and has this soft amber warmth that sits so nicely on skin. Nothing screechy, nothing harsh, just really beautiful and balanced. I love this kind of scent because it works at the office but still feels special enough for going out after. The drydown is probably my favorite part, kind of creamy and glowy in a way that keeps pulling me back in. Lasted about 6 hours on me, a little longer on clothes. Super wearable and honestly pretty addictive.
I love this way more than I expected. Sometimes Initio can go a little heavy for me, but Power Self hits that sweet spot. I get bright citrus at first, then a creamy sandalwood/musk thing that feels really expensive and comforting at the same time. It kinda reminds me of the polished, addictive vibe of something like BR540 in terms of attention-grabbing energy, but this is less sugary and more grounded. Super versatile too. I’d wear it to work, dinner, or just out running around because it never feels out of place. Lasts all day on my skin and the drydown is honestly the best part.
I’m into this. It has that smooth musky-woody thing that feels super clean, but there’s also a warm spicy touch that keeps it from being generic. Not gonna lie, it kinda gave me the same vibe as some luxury crowd-pleasers, just less sugary and more refined. I love this for days when I want to smell attractive without choking out the room. It’s subtle sexy, not nightclub sexy. Projection is moderate and it stays closer after a while, but I still got whiffs of it around the 7 hour mark. Minor flaw: the opening is better than the drydown for me. Still def a very solid 4/5.
This is very good, just not quite love at first sniff for me. The blend is super smooth though. I get clean musk, dry woods, and a soft warm amber thing that makes it feel really upscale. It almost sits in that same space as other “your skin but better” niche perfumes, except this one has more presence. What I love is how effortless it feels. No harsh edges, no weird sweetness, no headache. My only issue is that it plays things a bit too safe, especially for the price. I wanted one twist, one note that made me go wow. Still, it wears beautifully and feels very classy on skin.
I really like this one. On me it opens with a bright citrusy sparkle, then the rose comes in and keeps it classy without going full grandma. The oud is there, but super polished and smooth, not barnyard at all, which I appreciate. Kinda feels like Creed doing a feminine oud for people who usually don’t even like oud. It gives me that dressed-up, expensive vibe, but still easy to wear. Only minor issue is the performance isn’t amazing for the price — I get around 6 hours and the projection chills out pretty fast. Still, I love how elegant and effortless this smells.
Power Self is decent, just not that memorable on me. I get a clean musky vibe with some soft woods and a little citrus up top, and it smells polished without being too loud. Easy to wear, for sure. The problem is it kinda feels like a lot of other modern designer-ish scents dressed up in luxury packaging. Nothing smells bad here, but nothing really grabs me either. Performance was okay, around 6 hours, with pretty moderate projection after the first hour. I’d wear it to work or just casually, but for Initio money? Tbh I expected something more distinctive and a little more exciting.
Royal Princess Oud is way softer than the name makes it sound. Don’t expect some dark, funky oud bomb because I barely get any oud at all. To me it’s mostly airy florals, a little sweet iris, and some sandalwood in the drydown. Kinda reminds me of those clean luxury perfumes you wear to brunch or the office when you don’t want to offend anyone. That’s both the pro and the con. It’s smooth, feminine, and easy, but also a bit boring. Projection is mild and it never really turns heads. I don’t hate it, I just wouldn’t pay Creed prices for something this safe.
This is the kind of perfume that doesn’t scream for attention but still gets noticed. I get a soft woody backbone, clean musk, and maybe a subtle floral lift in the background that keeps it from feeling flat. It smells super refined, like expensive fabric and great skincare more than a typical loud perfume. Tbh that’s exactly why I love it. Some scents wear you, this one just makes you feel more like yourself but elevated. I’ve had really solid performance too, around 6-7 hours easy. Could totally be an everyday signature if you want something elegant that still feels a little special.
Not gonna lie, I expected another overhyped niche release, but this one really got me. The opening has this crisp spicy sparkle, then it melts into warm woods and clean musk on me. Super addictive. What I love most is how balanced it is. Nothing sticks out too much, nothing feels messy, and it never goes overly sweet or overly smoky. It just smells amazing the whole way through. Kinda gives me the same “put together and magnetic” energy I get from some MFK stuff, but this feels more intimate and grounded. Great sillage for the first few hours and the scent cloud is really nice. Highly recommend.
This is such a good scent. Not sexy in the loud clubbing fragrance way, more like fresh shirt, great skin, expensive hotel lobby kinda sexy. I pick up musk first, then a creamy woody note and a tiny hint of spice that keeps it interesting. It’s really wearable but still has personality, which is harder to find than people act like it is. I’ve gotten compliments from people who normally don’t say anything about fragrance, so that says a lot. Also, it performs better than I expected: around 8 hours on me and noticeable without choking anyone out. Def one of Initio’s easiest 5-star wears for me.
This is honestly one of those scents that just makes you stand up straighter. I get a really smooth woody-musky vibe with a soft spicy touch in the opening, and it all blends in a way that feels super polished without being boring. It’s not loud in an obnoxious way, but people definitely notice it. Kinda gives me that same confident aura some Initios have, just cleaner and easier to wear. I love how it feels dressed up but still works casually. Performance is great too, easy 8+ hours on me with very solid projection for the first few. Def a 5/5 from me, no hesitation.
Tbh I was expecting something way more intense because it’s Initio, but this is actually pretty restrained. I get a fresh opening, then a smooth ambery-musky drydown with a clean woody feel underneath. It kinda reminds me of those modern niche scents that try to smell powerful without shouting. I love that it feels confident and put together, but I do wish it had a little more personality because it doesn’t fully blow me away. Still, I keep reaching for it. It’s one of those easy compliment fragrances where people just say you smell really good. Not beast mode, but solid enough for daily wear.
I really like this one. Power Self smells clean and polished, but not in a boring shower-gel way. I get a soft musky vibe with a creamy woody base, and there’s something slightly spicy in the opening that makes it feel more put together. Kinda gives me that “expensive skin scent but stronger” effect. It’s not as instantly addictive as some Initios, so I get why people might want more drama, but for me that’s also the charm. Super easy to wear and it works in basically any setting. Lasts around 6-7 hours on my skin with decent projection for the first couple hours.
This is nice. Very easy to wear, very polished, but I kept waiting for some wow moment that never really came. I get a soft rose with a powdery violet feel and a clean woody base, and it definitely smells expensive in that typical Creed way. The problem is it’s kinda forgettable. Not bad at all, just not something I’d reach for over other floral musks in this price range. It also sits pretty close to the skin on me after the first hour. Lasts around 5-6 hours, which is fine, but for the money I expected more personality. Decent, elegant, nothing special tbh.
This is such a pretty perfume tbh. I get rose, a little powdery violet, and a soft woody base that makes it feel refined instead of sugary. It kinda reminds me of the more polished side of Delina, but less tart and way less loud. What I love most is how wearable it is — you can do brunch, office, dinner, whatever. Super feminine without trying too hard. It’s not beast mode though, so if you want a room-filler this probably won’t do it. On me it stays fairly close after the first hour. Still, the scent itself is really lovely and feels expensive.
This is one of those fragrances where I totally get why people like it, but I’m not rushing to buy a full bottle. On my skin it comes off smooth, airy, and slightly spicy, with a clean amber-musk thing in the drydown. Pretty pleasant. It actually kinda reminds me of the safer side of niche, like something trying to feel luxurious without taking any real risks. That can be a good thing if you want an everyday scent, but if you want the usual Initio punch, this isn’t it. Projection stayed pretty close after a bit, and overall it just felt nice... not special. Solid 3/5 for me.
I really wanted to love this because the name and bottle make it feel super luxe, but the scent just falls flat on me. I get a soft rose thing in the opening with a powdery violet vibe, then some generic woods in the drydown. That's it. It never really turns into anything memorable, especially for a Creed. Kinda reminds me of those expensive department store florals that smell nice for 20 minutes and then disappear. Performance is also weak on my skin, like 4-5 hours max and pretty close to the skin the whole time. Not horrible, just underwhelming and honestly overpriced for what it is.
