MUSK THERAPY X POWER SELF

The white musk opens soft and clean, but the sandalwood in the base gives it a grounding warmth that lasts well past lunch. I layer the two and the powdery dry-down on my skin feels like a calm confidence boost, not perfume-y at all.

I was skeptical about layering two scents, but the bergamot in the first one really does settle into the sandalwood nicely on my skin. Wore it to work and got two compliments by noon, which never happens for me.

The bergamot gives it a bright lift that keeps the white musk from feeling heavy, so I can wear both layers even in this heat. The sandalwood stays close to the skin but lingers for hours, which is exactly what I wanted for daily use.
