White Musk for Autumn

The Body Shop's White Musk
(15ml of this "perfume oil" goes a long way)


The fragrance designers for the Body Shop are really talented. I wrote about the fragrance Moroccan Rose here, where I say that it "wins hands down" as the rose scent for the summer, beating out recent "designer" rose perfumes.

Now, a more autumny scent is available, although it has apparently been in the store's inventory for many years (since 2005). Here are some reviews for White Musk Perfume Oil on Fragrantica, a popular perfume discussion board:

Miss Guerlain:
Can`t find any faults in this light loveable fragrance. It`s ultra-feminine, sweet. And also sexy & innocent at the same time!! And so cheap too, great!
Wristsniffer:
It's light, clean, polite, sweet, and romantic...
Coco76:
soft, powdery feminine scent. very simple and beautiful and not too hard on the pocketbook either. smells more expensive than it is.
faceon:
Ive had lots of compliments after wearing this, which is a bit annoying as it is the cheapest of all my perfumes!!! :-)

I think the body lotion is really good too - especially as a base for something else maybe...
Choctawamama81:
This has to be one of my favorite musk scents. It's delicate, subtle and has a wonderful powdery feel.
Once again, as with the rose in Moroccan Rose, all three notes in White Musk are infused with the signature musk scent:

Notes for White Musk:
Top: Lily, Musk, Basil, Ylang Ylang
Middle: Lily, Musk, Jasmin, Rose
Base: Orris (Iris root), Amber, Patchouli, Musk,
Vanilla, Peach, Jasmine, Oakmoss, Vetiver, Rose

The Body Shop designs understated yet unique bottles for its perfumes. White Musk's small, round flask is no different.
