Initio Parfums Musk Therapy Extrait (Tester)

Description

Musk Therapy is Initio Parfums Privés' velvety musk meditation — bright bergamot and mandarin over a blackcurrant-magnolia heart, sinking into an overdose of white sandalwood and pink-white musk. Launched in 2021, this unisex Extrait was built around the idea of scent as relaxation: a milky, addictive musk accord designed to feel like a second skin.

FAQ

What does Musk Therapy smell like? A creamy, milky musk — bergamot and mandarin up top, blackcurrant and magnolia at heart, resting on white sandalwood and layered musks.

Is it men's or women's? It's unisex — a soft, skin-close musk that suits anyone who prefers subtle, comforting scents.

How long does it last? As an Extrait, it performs well — typically 8-plus hours, though the sillage stays close to the skin throughout.

Is it loud or subtle? Subtle by design — Musk Therapy is meant to be an intimate, comforting scent rather than a projecting statement piece.
