Initio
Musk Therapy EDP
“Warm skin on a linen-covered bed — comfort elevated to luxury.”
Initio's 2021 clean-musk niche — positioned as a lighter, daytime-friendly alternative to the brand's heavier Hedonist collection. A musk-citrus-floral unisex composition with bergamot, mandarin, black currant, magnolia, and white sandalwood layered with white musk and hedione. Performs strongest in spring and summer, daytime, 7-8 hours with moderate projection.

- ●Spring-through-fall wearability unusual for this style
- ●Widely appealing without being basic
Trade-offs
