6-10 hours
The projection of Musk Therapy is moderate, initially extending a polite invitation before settling into a more personal sphere. For the first 1-2 hours, it projects noticeably, creating a lovely scent bubble. After this, it recedes gracefully to become a sophisticated skin scent that remains detectable and utterly captivating for many hours, offering delightful wafts to the wearer and those in close proximity.
Initio Musk Therapy exhibits a beautifully restrained yet persistent sillage. It creates a personal, intimate aura that is noticeable within arm's length, drawing those closer into its serene embrace without ever overwhelming a room. It speaks of quiet confidence rather than boisterous declaration, making it perfect for refined settings.
