Black Musk

I'm in love with Black Musk from The Body Shop's "fucking motherfucker" nocturnal vibe, there are reasons for this, including intense affective involvement with the girl (a naked and raw Pocahontas of beauty) from the my city! Oh heavens, what a crazy and pleasant world this perfumery world is, I can't live without it, ever! Leaving naughtiness and affections aside [...] Black Musk is a perfume for ulterior motives, even though I still consider its predecessor Red Musk a little superior, a perfume for meeting more than two, for accurate hunting and for do well at the time "H" and after the "H" too! It already opens peppery and slightly sweet, heating up with every movement, reverberating a dense and obscure odor like from its bottle. I feel a slight citrus content that doesn't advance much, because here the notes are widened and propelling one against the other. It becomes an exuberant floral, slightly oily, due to the Ylang Ylang note and highly sensual, already with perceptible nuances of moist woods and sprinkled by velvety touches as if it were a soft cover that would envelop and never let go! Its base is earthy, warm and very vanilla, but with bitter touches of Chocolate and a lot of Musk, but it's very Musk, very Musk, to say: CHEGAAAAAAAAAAA! I believe that because of the final combination, we are faced with the exceptionality that resulted in Black Musk! Speaking for myself, the perfume has evolved and stayed longer than expected, something like 10 hours in a row. I'm happy for the text and context that it always represents for me! (GREAT DANGEROUS).

This is soooo good. If you want a ELEVATED ‘Little Black Dress’ perfume this is the one. It’s not an exact dupe for Black Opium, but the same vibe is definitely achieved. I really like black opium but I would say this smells like her rich auntie. It’s classier but still extremely sexy, no less sweet, just sweet in a different way. My dad bought this in the EDP for my mum for Christmas 2020 and I was blown away by how good it smelt when she put it on. It was genuinely one of my favourite fragrances I’ve smelt on her, it suited her so well. That also lasted ALL DAY on her with absolutely beast performance all round so I ended up buying my own in the EDT soon after. The EDP definitely lasted longer but there was quite a big price difference so it makes sense. The EDT still performs well (better than some EDPs out there). This is a deep dark perfume that is just so smooth and warm and sexy, and I feel it would suit women of all ages, if you give off mature, classy vibes. It definitely smells like MONEY!! Even if you’re not into dark perfumes that much... I still think many people would be surprised by how much they would enjoy this. This is DEFINITELY a hidden gem in my opinion and I urge anyone to give it a chance if you’re reading this. BUY IT!! And to all those disappointed with the performance... invest in the EDP if you love the smell... it’s so worth it and lasts LITERALLY ALL DAY

What a nice little surprise! I have the oil version. Black Musk is a chocolate/vanilla musk scent, very subtle, only slightly fruity at first. This is like a baby La Nuit Tresor with the licorice note, which I love. I'd say, this is a good wear anywhere scent especially for people who aren't allowed to wear perfume at work. You can safely add the oil to a lotion to give it more real estate on your skin, or even better yet add another frag on top like La Nuit Tresor, or Chopard Wish, or La Petit Robe Noir, or really ANY chocolate and/or vanilla licorice scent. Really versatile. I'm curious about the spray version, but the oil is very nice. Don't expect monster sillage but the longevity has been good on me. I sprayed Outremer Vanille on later in the day (since I always carry a travel size) and it just woke the scent up again. It's a love for me!

Got the perfume oil of this and LOVE LOVE LOVE! I've had it for about 2 years now, and recently it seems to be not as strong as it previously was. When it was my daily my husband couldn't stop complimenting me on how I smell. He'd say I smelled like a yummy cupcake- warm and vanilla. (As a side note, light perfumes fly off me- but strong perfumes tend to wear well.) It would last about 4-6hrs on me, with the scent being close to skin. This wasn't a compliment getter, but an impression. If I gave a hug, I might get a compliment but people I met would later comment "you always smell so good." But, after not wearing it for a couple of months I've returned and it doesn't smell like anything. Could very well be due to improper storage, so I will definitely be buying a new bottle.

The EDP is a very warm, sultry and comforting scent. I get lots of milk chocolate, almond (heliotrope), vanilla and musk. I can pick up only a little patchouli, pear and licorice. It’s definitely sweet, but not sickly sweet or cloying. It’s soft. I think it’s a versatile scent which could be worn day or night and would be a crowd pleaser (but only for those who get close enough to smell). Pretty safe blind buy for gourmand lovers. Don’t expect a dark beast though!

I really, really like this! It is fruity gourmand, similar to what others have said. I do not detect musk but that's not to say it isn't there. I bought the body mist and hope I don't regret that - and should of bought the EDT//EDP instead? (they were more expensive -- yikes!) I love this :) Dark -black- musk is sexy, sweet and creamy YUM Doesn't seem to have good sillage or longevity though!!! URGH! >.

It's my favourite perfume after Kenzo by Kenzo. I have the EDP. It smells so good and has very good silage and is very very long lasting. I've got compliments wearing it. People just stand there in shock and say: oh what's your perfume? It smells like vanilla and it's woody and a bit fruity and something so enticing and dark that hugs you warmly.

I must admit I'm rather obsessed with Black Musk, the EDT is good, but the EDP is superb, it's so rich and dark, the notes are beautifully dark and heady. On my skin the vanilla/pepper combination is beautifully smooth, smells so good and lasts really well. The only thing I don't get a lot of, surprisingly is musk, who cares, this is a cracker.

Strange.. The mist version lasting longer than the edt and edp version on me :| Layer it with a coconut/monoi scented lotion or fragrance then voila! You get Bronze Goddess eau de parfum And also, the edt and edp version smells almost like Fantasy while the mist one smells more like Black Opium flanker

I have the edt - I prefer the edp, but this was a gift, and I am very impressed! I find it similar to Deep Euphoria - I don't detect any vanilla/chocolate, just a beautiful spicy light musk. Layering with Jovan Musk makes it last all day with soft projection. Longevity is great on clothing.

My favourite of all body shop frag. It is sweet gourmand-ish fragrance that is suitable for a night out with friends. Not loud, but it's just enough to make people notice you. It is not offensively sweet, but it make people around you comfortable. Longevity is a homework though.

I have the perfume oil of this and this has to be the body shop's most complicated scent unlike all of the others being very simple, it's a sweet, sensual, and it has so much depth, it's unique but it kinda reminds of a sweeter black opium without the coffee note

Been obsessed with this fragrance for years, smells so sexy. Sweet with a hint of spice, I wish it lasted longer. This can sort of be achieved by layering the oil and perfume but still not the greatest staying power. Very affordable for everyday use

I think it's safe to consider this as a unisex perfume since this perfume also smells great on a man; its base notes really gives someone a nice and warm yet sexy image; I agree with anyone who mentioned that this perfume was made for cuddling.

The mist version reminds me of zara femme (hypnotic poison dupe? Idk, never smell it lol). I love this scent from the first sniffed, it's sweet rich a little bit warm but not overwhelming. Longevity? Blah. But it's a mist anyway so....

Not the biggest fan of black opium. Thankful this isn’t reminiscent of it! I’m obsessed with this I got the EDP but I need the oil!! Edit: I smell the black opium now. I still like this oil I think it’s a more suitable version for me!

It's remind me Black Opium YSL and Black Orchid by Tom Ford, it is sweet buttery delicious bit spicy and musky in dry down, love the EDP the most because it is sexy sensual and alluring.

Purchased the oil. Couldn't be happier with the scent! Black opium vibes, loving the coffee and pear in it. Definitely a winner. Absolutely amazing layered with Lancome La Nuit Tresor.

Love this!!! Used to be my signature. It has sweet notes but it was more spicy on my skin, smells so sexy! But the longevity is like 2 hours, it disappears...

Smells sweet, not overly sweet though, yet seductive with a perfect spice mix. It gives that mature sophisticated feel. Love it! Surprisingly lasts long too.
