I know this is long. I’m so sorry but it’s all relevant. To me is it but my apologies in advance. It’s broken up into sections 4 sections.
1) Here’s how I got to the fragrance: I had an unsavory experience with an Angels Bread decant. Due to the scam I needed to bounce back so I went to Neiman&Marcus. I asked for a “liner sweet vanilla” with a $300 budget. Surprise, surprise they didn’t have that but I tired different vanillas with rose, apricot, including vanilla powder. Not for me. I told her I want thick and sweet. She showed me Musk Therapy, and I was taken aback. I’ve never smelled anything like this. I asked if it had vanilla in it. She said no. I sprayed my arm with Musk Therapy and omg that was so incredible. I bought the set right there.
2) First Impression : I get home with it and I start experimenting with my body care collection. I went to sleep with it after my shower and sprayed it the next day. I can safely say this musk is extremely addictive and sensual. There’s no vanilla note listed but on skin it pulls the most creamy decadent musk, thick fluffy cloud, a white wedding floral arrangement, and thick White Sea Island cotton drapes all around. This fragrance smells like what I’d imagine an Angel playing a harpsichord would literally smell like.
3) My thoughts: This is a stand alone fragrance and doesn’t need a layering combo. This is a signature scent. I’d be perfectly fine if this was the only perfume I ever wore again. Because I’m extra I will be pairing this with Vanilla Lace lotion by Victoria secret. That’s the perfect lotion for this bc it enhances the creamy aspect without taking from the perfume because I do believe this is a masterpiece fragrance. To my nose Musk Therapy, Vanilla Lace, Vanilla musk oil and Angels Bread have similar “musk”. Not only are those amazing fragrances but also I get so many compliments when I wear them. There’s something sharp about the musk that I pick up on with all the fragrance I listed. It’s sharp but it’s not pungent sharp. It’s like fresh cut flowers sharpness that’s blended very easy and smooth. It’s faint but it’s there.
Take my review with a grain of salt because this is my 3rd niche fragrance. Seriously this fragrance is so freaking beautiful. It’s so pretty and dainty but powerful and calming. Like HOW! So sweet and thick but still airy and light. Refreshing, magnetic, soft, loving.
4) The Breakthrough: The perfume feels like a hug from your therapist who you know is completely outa range to handle your true thoughts and emotions but one day you decide to open up about your past and you both cry together and she gives you the best advice ever with her expensive make up ruined. It was advice in the form of a diagram so you can process your emotions, feelings and thoughts on your own. She gave to tools that you needed and for the first time she understood you but it’s bitter sweet because she’s just like everyone else.
Why do I have to cry and scream to be heard when I’ve been talking this whole time. You’re thankful for this moment and you never see her again on purpose because you don’t like anyone seeing you raw. If she was more experienced maybe, she would’ve picked up that you’d flake out when she got too close.
This therapist at the time was brand new, bright eyed and confident. Grew up privileged and fresh outa college, not much older than you in a time when you really need guidance newly into adulthood. At the same time you’re as stubborn as an ox so you don’t take advice but you do take tools for life. Musk Therapy.
