Reminisce.

Advantages: Smells nice, relatively cheap, memories.
Disadvantages: Doesn't last all that well.

...with a silver lid and the glass is coloured, it goes from clear lilac at the base and becomes almost completely colourless by the base of the lid. There are no pictures just simple white writing on the glass. The scent is as you would expect, musk! This is subtle and soft so not overtly strong or in your face. I find this very feminine and sensual. I can just about pick out the rose scent that is also in it but apart from that the other notes that ...
...hard to pick scents apart. The Body Shop website says "Notes of velvety musk, floral lily and sensual ylang ylang with hints of fresh galbanum and basil combine to create the sensual top notes, provide the initial scent of the fragrance and awaken and stimulate the senses. Notes of velvety musk, oriental jasmine, floral lily and rose combine to create the feminine heart notes and are the dominant notes of the fragrance. Notes of velvety musk, oriental ...

Smelling Gorgeous...again

Advantages: You smell gorgeous
Disadvantages: There is no online puchasing facility

THE BODY SHOP WHITE MUSK EAU DE PARFUM Well, seeing as my most recent ops have a theme to smelling nice, I’ll keep going. I have to admit, I’m terrible for perfume. I’ve got loads of the stuff in loads of different smells. Cheap, Expensive, I’ve got the lot, but smelling nice always adds a nice finishing touch to yourself. THE PRODUCT One of my favourite perfumes at the moment is The Body Shop White Musk Eau De Parfum. It is the kind of perfume ...
...dressing table without being over the top. The box it comes in is a lilac colour with the product name on it. The box and perfume is quite dinky, it is 30ml in size but as it is a Eau De Parfum (I will explain a bit more later) it does last a long time because it is really strong. THE SMELL The smell of this perfume is really nice. White musk is really hard to describe but it has almost a talcum powder smell but more posh and strong – perfume experts ...

Sensual and Alluring

Advantages: read op
Disadvantages: none

...I always go back to The Body Shop's White Musk. I love the Body Spray and use it every day. White Musk is a delicate, sensual fragrance and the musk is very subtle and feminine, not at all like any of the men's musk aftershave or deodorants. I do not like fragrances that are strong and overpowering. As well as the Body Spray I also use White Musk talc and whilst I was in the Bodyshop buying more I noticed a White Musk product that I hadn't seen ...
...it a try. The bath bomb is about the size of a tennis ball and looked a bit like a pumice stone, a sort of mauve grey. It did not smell very strongly of White Musk. I ran the water into the bath and dropped it in, it fizzed up immediately and I could smell the delicious White Musk scent straight away. It turned the water a cloudy mauve grey colour, there were no bubbles. I got into the water and after a few minutes I could feel it softening my skin ...

Advantages: not over-powering, cheap to purchase, feel-good fragrance... for more read on!
Disadvantages: none

White Musk Perfum C/O The Body Shop is a fragrance which is rumoured to be a favourite of Victoria Beckham. Now, with all of her posh dosh ~ it HAS to be good! Enough of her though, here's what i think about the product plus further information about the Body Shops trademark item. White Musk was originally launched by The Body Shop in 1982 (yes that long ago!) and became The Body Shops best selling fragrance. Body Shop describe this product as a ...
...to lift my mood in the way which White Musk does. The fragrance smells comfortable. It is warm, woody, extremely fresh and clean. Ingrediants include vetivert, ylang-ylang & coriander essential oils. It comes in a clear, light consistency & absorbes quite quickly into the skin. There is no sticky feelings left from this frangrance at all. With it being an Eau De Toilette of course, it isn't heavy in the slightest. Many people complain about certain ...

Makes me Feel Sexy and Pampered

Advantages: inexpensive, lots of products in range, make lovely small bottles that make good presents
Disadvantages: None

...I don't suit many of the floral feminine fragrances, but the Body Shop's White Musk range is an exception. I first came across the range a few years ago when I was bought some of the Body Lotion as a gift. The first thing that I noticed was the deliciously light fragrance, not too heavy, but a fresh lingeringly sexy smell. The lotion was very light to rub in, and left no stickyness or residue on the skin, it just glides over it. One product that ...
...the small size bottle 50ml, and it costs about £2.10. You only need a small amount and although it doesn't make a huge amount of lather, don't be foooled, a little goes a long way and is enough to wash all over. It makes my skin feel so smooth and clean. It also makes the bathroom and the house smell lovely after I've used it. My husband was going to buy me some perfume from the range for my birthday, they do the Eau de Toilette, Eau de parfum and ...

I love the body lotion

Advantages: Easily absorbed by the skin, gentle perfume
Disadvantages: None

The Body Shop's "White Musk" Body Lotion is one of the staples in my self-pampering arsenal. I began by using it on it's own, because it's soft, delicate smell complemented the perfume sprays that I tended to wear all the time. It rubbed into my skin beautifully, was absorbed easily and there was no stickiness or greasy residue - important when you have clothes touching your skin , and don't want to ruin the fabric. Ah, but then I began to experiment, ...
...emulsified without any problems, and the perfume was delicious. People at work commented on it, and even allowing for the higher oil content - it wasn't greasy at all, it soaked into the skin and left no oily residue! Wow! Since those earlier days, I have experimented more, and now also add other fragrant oils and a few sprays of my perfume into the blend. The soft gentle floral musk smell lasts all day, it's wonderful. Sometimes, I wake up, and ...

Advantages: Lasts for ages
Disadvantages: Smell gets quite sickly after a while

...A silver spray top dispenses the scent, hidden under the lid. All Body Shop products are keen to boast that they are 'Against Animal Testing', and this is displayed in navy writing on the back of the bottle. This was quite a while ago, so the packaging may well have changed since then. ~*~Price~*~ As this was a gift, I am not sure exactly how much these sell for.

The Sweet Smell of Musk

Advantages: not too over powering, wide variety of products
Disadvantages: does not last all day

The Body Shops White Musk range was recomended to me by a close friend. I had never shopped in the body shop previous of this, but am glad I did- There's loads of other great products in there too! ........Anyway, back to the subject. There are body sprays, lotions, shampoos, bath oils etc. available in the white musk scent at the bodyshop, aswell as the perfume. I love it and cant believe I once lived without it! Its a strong, earthy scent, but ...
...the perfume throughout the day, I dont find it fruity enough for going to a club or somewhere special. I usually find applying one spray to my neck and one on either wrist gives a distinctive musky scent, but is not to strong. If you are wearing it all day you may need to use more of the scent by the late afternoon, but be careful not to over do it! The entire collection of white musk scented products at the body shop are a relatively good price ...

Even A Tramp Could smell clean in White Musk

Advantages: Nice and clean fresh smell
Disadvantages: none

...out, and putting away all the Christmas Presents and finding space for them. I came across a present that I got last year. I put it away and with moving it was like Christmas all again. I come across this purple and silver glittery box and then I remembered what it was, my favourite perfume for everyday. It was the Body Shop White Musk Gift Set. My hubby had bought it as a little gift last year and it just got packed away with the rest of the ...
...surprise. The box is like a hard lid box and could be used as something else like a jewellery box and is of really good quality. Inside it was a lovely purple tissue paper and inside were 5 products that I wil tell you about. The first is quite basic and is just a purple bath sponge on a string. Made of netting. The second item that I picked up was White Musk Bath and Shower Gel in a Transparent bottle. It has the Body Shop log on the front and ...

White Musk Vs "Pure Musk"

Advantages: Soft and aphrodisiac fragrance
Disadvantages: Perhaps the pure musk is better and more economic.

...clear that, in spite of the fact that musk should be the translation of the word "almizcle" in Spanish, the musk and the almizcle aren't the same fragrance. For this reason, I'll define musk with the word "pure musk". I'd want to do an introduction on what is exactly the musk, so the relation with the musk, is very narrow. The pure musk is a substance segregated by a few glands placed in the abdomen of a mammal of the family of the deer, the pure ...
...aphrodisiac. These deer are in the habit of living in the mountains of the Tibet and The Himalayas. The substance is extract from these abdominal glands, they say that to be able to extract it, is necessary to kill them but, as I've read, China grows these deer in captivity to be able to extract the substance to them without need to kill them and, then, they export it to other countries. Because of it, even it does very little, has been of the most ...

Faux musk, false hope

Advantages: Not tested on animals
Disadvantages: Synthetic scent

I have to say at the start that I have used this product only because it was a gift. As many people may already know, the Body Shop's musk product is called 'White' Musk, because it is not real musk. Real musk is derived from (I think) the adrenal glands of reindeer, so for obvious reasons, would be an unacceptable ingredient for the Body Shop or its customers. Although it is laudable not to use real musk, unlike a number of 'brand name' fragrances, ...
...taste, I was overjoyed when the family who normally gives me White Musk gave me Hemp last Christmas!), the fragrance is sufficiently distinct from that of real musk to be easily recognised as simply not the real thing. For this reason, I really have to wonder why it is marketed as musk, white or otherwise. Sadly, for a company that believes in using natural ingredients where possible, white musk fails to score: natural musk is an animal product, ...

Body shops best

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: None

...when I first tried it. The smell really grows on you If you like musk perfumes then this has got to be the one to try. It’s really cheap for such a great perfume and the smell lasts for quite a long time usually with some of the cheaper perfumes the smell wears off quite quickly. The body shop range of white musk isn’t limited to perfume either you can also get soap, bubble bath etc, they also do some great gift sets. After Christmas is a good time ...

Still my favourite

Advantages: Smells great, inexpensive, cruelty-free
Disadvantages: None

White Musk by the Body Shop has been my favourite scent for years now. Apparently I am not alone, because unless things have changed recently, it's the Body Shop's biggest seller. I've always gotten compliments on it -- it's a great combination heavy and light, being both heady musk and fresh, like night sea air. I often think of switching scents, just for a change, but can't find one I like better! Also being from the Body Shop it's cruelty-free, ...

White musk from Body Shop is devine

Advantages: not too over powering
Disadvantages: none

The body shop's "White Musk" is just devine to wear. There is a range of Lotions, Soaps, Body spays, bath and shower gels to accompany the lovely perfume. The scent itself is a little earthy but is not too over powering to wear. It reminds me of a lovely hot summer's day in July, some year's back!! I wear the perfum mostly for work, but I have been known to wear it when I go out on an evening. I can throughly recommend this great perfume to ...

Fresh and clean fragrance

Advantages: 'sexy', refreshingly clean smell without overpowering!
Disadvantages: Purchasing difficult unless on-line, which you need a credit card, or by partyplan.

Personally, I have used all the products in the White Musk range. The shower gel and soap products leave you feeling invigorated, and dare I say a little 'sexy'. The eau de toilette range lasts for hours after sprating just a little, and the bodyspray refreshes the fragrance just right. The body lotion leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth and tingling all over as the perfume teases my nose. I feel the Body Shop have the light, smusky scent spot. My ...
