I rarely wear this fragrance as I feel it is pleasant enough but not special. I like the warm honey and amber, but just a tad too much vanilla. However, this is one frag that always gets great comments from others. I wonder that they are from people who are used to high street samey smells, as the same people hate it when I wear my favourite frags i.e patchoulis, CDG incense series etc. This leads me to the conclusion that I would not take much notice of the high street junkies, and always please myself. In summary, Initial is nice but not a first choice for me.

It's not unpleasant but it's a bit too warm for my taste.

initial smells amazing w/ my chemistry. the rose, jasmine, and cinnamon notes really stand out for me, and continue to linger on the drydown. i nearly always receive compliments while wearing this. i use initial when i want to be noticed. also, i can see Quarry's point about this working for a man too. a very secure, confident man could pull this one off. that being said, i really don't smell anything manly about intial. to me, this is a very special floral/oriental for use when you want to feel beautiful and desireable.

If a sticky bun and a closet pomander had a baby, this would be it. In my line of work, I am surrounded by three-year-old children, who think this is the prettiest smell ever. (Ever!) Don't let the pearlescent teardrop bottle fool you into thinking this is a sophisticated scent treat. How mistaken was I!

This fragrance is very soft, powdery and warm. Not strong or overpowering at all. Very comforting and lovely. I feel like a pure girl who's never been touched by a man. And the bottle is precious, it's a gigantic pearl pendant. How beautiful and creative is that?

My hubbie liked this one but said it was a bit too sweet. I agree- too much vanilla to the amber & pepper for my tastes. This is very long lasting & has great sillage. I tried this one twice and I just cannot bring myself to like it much.
