The review
On paper, Remedial Substance is a strong bet if you want Musk Therapy for less.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Musk Therapy's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $114 per 100ml it costs 57% less than Musk Therapy — the 4th cheapest of 6 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on ambrette and bergamot, turns to orris and white flowers, and settles into white musk, vanilla and sandalwood. That is the brief Remedial Substance is working from.
Top
- ambrette
- bergamot
Heart
- orris
- white flowers
Base
- white musk
- vanilla
- sandalwood
An intimate, second-skin musk with creamy vanilla and orris, comforting and effortlessly clean.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
