What does Power Self smell like?

White rose, osmanthus and magnolia form the floral heart, and white blossoms round it out with a creamy fullness. A fruity, sweet tone leads, while black pepper adds a light lift. Musk, ambrox and cedarwood gather these flowers on a powdery, clean and slightly synthetic base.

Most voters pick spring and summer, while winter stays in the background. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named settings. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as feminine, though many call it modern. Laura Biagiotti Laura Tender and Essential Parfums Rose Magnetic have a close profile.
