The Body Shop White Musk Smoky Rose Eau De Parfum
The Body Shop White Musk Smoky Rose * £13.00
About 2 weeks ago I received a wonderful parcel from The Body Shop and inside was this little beauty you see pictured above!
The Body Shop White Musk Smoky Rose – Eau De Parfum
This is one of The Body Shop’s best-selling perfumes due to it’s ‘iconic‘ scent. I can’t say that I knew about the range or the scent before I got sent the item to feature on here but when I read a press release on it I knew it would be something which I would love.
I love my sweeter, floral scents like Coco Chanel, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia, Gucci Flora, Marc Jacobs Lola…they’re fresh and sweet at the same time and that’s what I love!
The packaging
There’s nothing special about the packaging however I do think it stands out from other brands due to it’s simplicity.
It looks pretty amongst other perfumes on a vanity table and it’s a good size to fit in your bag easily without it taking up too much room which is good for people on the go or if you like to spritz on perfume throughout the day!
The smell
If you’re like me and you love your sweet/fresh smells then you’ll love this!!
It’s a beautiful fragrance and it’s a fresh/sweet blend, you get the deepness from the smoky rose, the sweetness from the vanilla and a slight fresh/floral scent from the lilies which you can really pick out, blended together it’s lovely….not too sweet and not too fresh, it’s just right!
I think one of the hardest things to do is to describe a perfume or a scent so I would recommend you going in store and smelling/trying the perfume for yourself as it’s always different on different people!
How long does The Body shop White Musk Smoky Rose Eau De Parfum last?
Eau De Parfum lasts longer generally due to it’s stronger scent so I found 1-2 spritz’s was enough to last me from the morning till the early afternoon and for £13.00 for 30ml is not bad at all and would make a wonderful present in a stocking filler for Christmas!! 🙂
The Eau De Toilette is priced at £10.00
Eau De Parfum or Eau De Toilette?
Ok, so this is something most people don’t look at, I’ve heard from a lot of people that they pick the ‘cheaper‘ option.
The ‘cheaper’ option tends to be the Eau De Toilette but that’s because it’s a lot lighter and more delicate of a scent which doesn’t last as long throughout the day.
The Eau De Parfum is a lot stronger in the scent and definitely lasts a lot longer which is why people tend to wear Eau De Parfum aromas for an evening out or spritz once in the morning for the rest of the day! 🙂
Can I buy The Body Shop White Musk Smoky Rose online?
Yes! You can buy the one you see pictured above (Eau De Parfum) AND a lighter version (Eau De Toilette) from The Body Shop’s website.

Aww!!! A lot of people love the original version so I can only assume that you’ll love this too as it has a sweeter note due to the rose in it…it’s beautiful! 🙂 xxx

I may be in the minority about this but I still really like the original White Musk scent – to me it’s so soft and feminine and there’s no other scent quite like it :o). Xx
