White Musk

Parfumour’s Interpretation of The Body Shop White Musk

The Body Shop White Musk launched in 1981 as one of the first commercially successful synthetic musks, ethically sourced and deer friendly, and quickly became one of the most recognisable fragrances of its generation. Clean, slightly powdery and gently floral, it is still made today more than 40 years later.

The Story Behind the Scent

Our interpretation captures that same iconic clean musk signature: a soft aldehydic opening, a gentle floral heart and a clean powdery musk drydown.

We build it as a long lasting Eau de Parfum with a high perfume oil load, made in the EU, so the comfort lasts far longer.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We build ours as an eau de parfum with a high perfume oil load and sell direct, so you get the same clean powdery musk character with strong projection and longevity.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a clean powdery musk scent.

Common Questions

Close on the signature: a clean, slightly powdery musk softened by gentle florals, the iconic scent millions have worn for over 40 years. We build ours at a high concentration for strong projection.

Is it stronger than the original?

We build ours as an eau de parfum with a high perfume oil load, so most people find it projects and lasts as well as, or better than, the original release.

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style, so you can enjoy the character at our price.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
