No. 3 Musk

This has got to be my #1 favorite body mist IN THE WHOLE WORLD. Throw everything away and just get this-- If you love l'eau papier by dyptique, honey child BOO BOO, you're gonna appreciate this so much. I'm a huge fan. As you can tell by now. Borderline obsessed. Ok I'm definitely obsessed. To add: I just bought L'eau Papier in May - last month and my dent is denting... it's already halfway gone. This body mist I can spray without caution AND still enjoy my beloved l'eau papier by spraying 1 or 2 spritz on each side of my neck. I mean it's about 95% similar the only difference of course is L'eau Papier has a little bit of that oomph- you know that "oomph" right? That fancy je ne sais quoi thing. But still, at the end of the day , what we have here is nearly identical to L'eau Papier. No denying. I also got this thinking there's no way the lasting power is any good - was expecting 30 mins to 1 hour tops but it's been going on almost 3 hours and I am still getting a really nice scent bubble. It's amazing honestly. 👏

This might be my favorite B&BW scent- I have the body wash, lotion, and spray, and thankfully they are all consistent in scent. I don’t tend to reach for musks but this is changing my mind. I definitely smell the combo of musk, sesame, milk. I love that this is suitable for use year-round, any time of day, I even use it at bedtime. It doesn’t project a lot, but I don’t mind that this type of scent is more of a skin scent. I wasn’t familiar with Diptyque L’Eau Papier when I bought it. I went to smell it at Nordstrom and was so surprised they are almost exactly the same- Diptyque is just maybe a little sweeter. I think Diptyque is a little better but not worth owning both unless the projection bothers you, and the price difference makes me 100% stand by B&BW!

I just want to put it out there ... I love this scent, especially as a bedtime scent. It smells, to me, like a faint shadow of Rania J's Musc Moschus, which I am head over heels for. There is Musk plus a faint sweetness. Almost a "my skin, but better scent." I'm so reluctant to compare this to Glossier You, as GY is supposed to smell different on each individual. To me, Musk No. 3 smells like a cousin of GY with less pencil shavings scent. Musk 3 also smells more sweet than GY. Musk 3 also does not smell lactonic to me, but it seems creamy though! It is a BBW body mist, so there is a blast of alcohol for a few seconds. I have not tried If You Musk, but I am looking forward to comparing the two someday.

I did blind buy this one and I felt in love at the first spray. I’m a fan of L’eau papier and Not a Perfume. The top note has a vibe of papier. A musky scent, bit of sweet, and the hint of milk are mixed so well. The drydown is almost identical to JHAG. The minute difference is the milky hint in this bodymist that makes it more feminine and softer than JHAG. I dont expect too mcuh from its longevity but it lasts about 3 hours on my skin, which is pretty awesome for a bodymist. Definitely a must-try or safe blind buy for whom who love “my skin but better” scent.

I originally smelled the hand cream version of this with no knowledge or expectations prior. I knew this scent was special right away compared to other BBW products. It smells like a new pack of printer paper. Fresh, warm, clean, cloudy and a little sweet but far from cloying. I'd LOVE if they made this in a more concentrated format. I will definitely be checking out the og dupe for this, L'Eau Papier by Diptyque when I have the funds. It layers really well with Milk by Commodity and also reminds me of Kitten Fur by Demeter.

Musk No. 3 by BBW gives me the comforting sensation of smelling a brand new book. I feel I have pulled a scarf from a cedar chest and smell paper and book binding. Cedar is not listed as a note though. I had a bottle of Jergen’s Sandalwood lotion and Musk No. 3 shares the same vibe. I own the cream and the mist and love them both. I bought a back up of the mist as I do not want to be without Musk No. 3. I don’t know what the other perfumes it is compared to smell like, but if they smell like this, I would want to own them.

I think this is my all time favorite musk smell, if not my favorite fragrance in general to layer with. seriously though I find myself layering this on literally every fragrance I own and it always smells so good and I wish I bought more when they were on sale! like other bath and bodyworks fragrance however, it unfortunately doesn't have a lot of longevity. It would be really nice if this specific musk was made into a perfume because I would really love to smell like this for a lot longer!!

I absolutely adore this scent, it’s one of my favorites from B&BW, but I’m surprised not enough people are talking about the peppery notes in this. Maybe it’s just the mimosas notes on my skin chemistry that comes off as more peppery, but I find this has a very strong pink pepper twang to it that lasts forever. I don’t find a lot of milky notes unfortunately, it’s very much a more clean, soft, peppery musk with some soft florals.

This is what a 2000s mom running errands would smell like, it’s soft and comforting. I like wearing this with jlo glow as it smells heavenly together. It’s something that is quite nostalgic for simpler times. It has a lotion-y aspect to it, meditative and spa like. I’m so glad I have this in my collection ! <3 thanks bath and body works for this lil angel. Songs that would match this is Duvet by Bôa & breakaway by Kelly clarkson

To me this smells like Glossier You to the tee! Which is wonderful because I love that one as well. I always layer the 2 for a fantastic, long lasting result . I'm fairly certain B&BE is not currently carrying this scent, I sincerely hope they bring it back. I have a bottle and a half currently and about a half a bottle of the Glossier so I should be set for a minute as I don't wear it daily.

This is mostly just an aromachemical to my nose. I have the body wash and body cream and I have been forcing myself to use them so they don’t go to waste. The more time I spend with it, the more I do pick up the light sweetness of the rice and milk, but they are still buried under some synthetic musk I must be sensitive to.

I reviewed this a long time ago as just smelling chemical, I’ve completely changed my tune now and of course it’s discontinued. I’m still working through a body cream of this scent and it matches absolutely perfectly with my L’eau Papier. I wish they’d bring it back.

When I say I fell in love with this it’s an understatement, my instant signature from them 🙂↕️ it’s very clean, warm, fresh, and milky. It’s unisex in my opinion, this would smell good on ANYONE ✨

This is the closest I can find to my long-missed Rice Flower & Shea! I love it! This one has more of a musky undertone, but it’s still wonderful. I bought a backup which I never do lol

The power of TikTok... This smells just like L'eau Papier. I bought the body lotion because I just had to know, and they were right! Now I have a nice layering base for LP.

Very authentic and relatively affordable dupe for Diptyque Leau Papier.

Why must bbw discontinue the most bomb ass body mists

Bought one because of the review saying it is an exact dupe of L'eau Papier: This does NOT smell identically to L'eau Papier. The opening is alcohol-y and synthetic, very off-putting, thankfully that goes away during the dry down. Compare the two side by side, you'd notice the paper note is much more prominent in LP while completely missing in Musk no 3. Overall, it is decent but don't expect it to smell exactly like L'eau Papier.

I adore anything with a rice, milk, and musk note and this one was no different! I wish it lasted longer and projected a little better, but it IS a body spray so I'm not super disappointed there. This layers beautifully with anything sweet that you're wanting to tone down a touch or anything with a musk, milk, or rice note :)

This is the closest of a dupe to LEau Papier I could find. About 70%. The rice and musk are there but the floral note and alcohol are more prominent in this one. Honestly not bad considering LP is quite expensive. This works. It may not be an exact dupe but it will not break the bank.
