Dua Therapy captures the spiced aromatic opening and creamy musk-sandalwood drydown of Musk Therapy quite effectively, with a similar emphasis on synthetic musks and ambroxan warmth. The clone delivers a comparable skin scent experience, though the Iso E Super projection may feel slightly softer and the spice notes potentially less pronounced in the opening.
Dua's version typically shows marginally less sillage and longevity compared to the original Initio formulation, with a slightly more subdued pepper and cardamom presentation. The base accords remain faithful, though the overall depth and richness of the musk-ambroxan blend may not fully replicate Initio's premium oil concentration.

βThis is the first Musk Therapy dupe I try and can say Iβm not fully disappointed. The Dua version is about 85% similar to the original and they even perform the same for me. This perfume lasts about 4 hours on skin and lingers on clothes the whole day. Itβs not super potent, but you can catch the scent throughout the day. In terms of the scent, Duaβs version is a lot more citrusy and a bit synthetic compared to Musk Therapy, but still creamy, cozy, and pleasant to wear everyday.β
βI guess I got a good batch because my bottle is 1:1 and I have a bottle of Musk Therapy. I think Dua did a great job a capturing the profile. Same nice aroma that seems extremely balanced with that musk/floral/fruity scent. Projection is above average also, I get close to 10hrs and can still detect the fragrance with no effort.β
βDua really comes through most of the time, but this is a disappointing miss. Musk Therapy is way smoother and the black currant is far more pronounced. I barely get any black current with this. Dua's version is more of a strong citrus musk, but it's not better. Sometimes they're better and correct flaws, but Musk Therapy was already perfect. Hopefully, it will develop some as it sits, but it seems unlikely.β
