    I love this fragrance. It has great staying power and smells wondeful on me. It's not that over powering sickening flower smell that bonks you over the head with a bunch of cheap flowers dowsed...

    I agree utterly with nefferttitti. the drydown is a soft lovely oriental amber, but to have to wait till it gets there....no way. On me it smells like perfume spilled into an ashtray before full...

    Initial is a beautiful, versatile scent. Appropriate for the office or a night on the town, it's the fragrance I go to when I need something classical in structure and "middle of the road". It's...

    This is a very strange perfume. Because first it is really very bad - very peppery and masculine, but later it dries down to something very pretty, delicious and sensual!!! I would purchase it if...

    What at first is overpowering and a tad old ladyish dries down to the most delicious bourbon vanilla. Creamy and delicious i want to eat my arm. What can i say... vanilla based perfumes usually...

    This is a very plain fragrance on my skin. I can hardly smell anything of the top notes, middle notes are hardly existing on my skin, too, but the drydown is completely boring, linear sharp-floral...

    This is my signature fragrance and has been for two years. I get so many compliments on this scent that I may never switch. It is not easy to find ... but definitely worth the effort.

    As a fan of clean/fresh scents and fruity florals, I'm always on the lookout for a nice departure from my routine. I tried Initial when I was looking for a good fall spicy scent. Sadly, it didn't...

    This is a complex scent..could be unisex...very spicy, deep and rich. I like the bottle design, too. Would save for a rainy/wintery day. Reminds me a bit of Perry Ellis Woman. ***Update: I still...

    If I breathe this one in softly, I love it as it is a somewhat unique floral oriental. If I take a really deep whiff I dislike it as it smells perfumey, masculine and generic. Confusing! It is nice...

    This is a beautiful fragrance. On me it's very soft, like a cashmere sweater, and very feminine. I wouldn't call this spicy, since my perception of spicy is Poison or Coco, but I know that's very...

    I got this at TJ Maxx for a good deal, and I'm glad I did. The bottle itself is so-so, but the fragrance is lovely, so soft and sexy, as well as ladylike. If you like some spice, sandalwood, and...

    I absolutely love this divine and elegant fragrance from Boucheron. INITIAL is, in a sense, "Sex in a bottle." It's warm, seductive, sweet, and sensual. It's classified as a floral oriental, but...

    I received this in a swap (thanks Alicia!) and I just had to review it straight away. This is a gorgeous fragrance! It's everything I searched for and never quite found in Guerlain's Orientals....

    At first it was very peppery. It dried down to a nice scent that I can't describe. Lasted very well, too. It's just not "me", though.

    I hate the EDT bottle. It's hideous. I like the EDP bottle with the little teardrop much better. As all Boucheron fragrances, this seems to have great lasting power. It's a spicy, what I consider...
