White Musk L'Eau

If you don’t like the original Body Shop White Musk don’t be put off by this... they are completely different smells This is a fresh, clean almost cucumber-y fragrance. It’s not complex but it’s also not a generic fresh scent to my nose. It is also very calming and relaxing, despite being fresh at the same time. I wear the mist version and enjoy it every time I wear it. I wouldn’t say the mist last more than 2 hours on skin but while it is on it definitely projects and can be smelt (although I am an over-sprayer). The performance is no worse than Elizabeth Arden’s ‘green tea’ in my opinion, and that’s an EDT. I think the scent itself is for someone who wants something nice and light, but still distinguishable as a fragrance. The vibe is portrays to me is a pretty young woman with clear skin, wearing a matching sage green gym set and carrying a big water bottle with icy water in. It’s fresh and green (but in a palatable way) and clean and just great. Even if you fresh scents aren’t your favourite, I think everyone needs just one... and this should be ‘the one’ in my opinion. I’d like to get the EDT version (but will probs wait until I use up my mist!)

I picked this one up as I had a voucher for the Body Shop. Liked it from the first initial sniff, smells very fresh and musky, definitely a unisex fragrance as my boyfriend loved it aswell. Can understand how it can get sickening specially if you have a headache already however it's perfect for work, after shower and just lounging at home but wanting to smell nice. The longevity is not great with this one though.

I bought the original version back in 2019 and bought the newer version in 2023. The original version lasted longer on my skin than the newer version. However, the scent has always been fresh and beautiful. I think I like this sooo much because I enjoy the combination of cucumbery, floral, and musky smell. Strangely enough, I found myself enjoyed this scent best on a rainy day.

One of my first perfumes. It is a musk perfume (to my surprise I liked it although I am not a musk type of girl) which leaves a clean and fresh scent. But not in a soap or dish type of cleanliness or freshness but like a first whiff in a flower garden or a bite of fresh fruit after eating a overpowering food to refresh. It is intensely suitable for day wear.

was my daily scent when in 2021-2024. i really love how fresh and floral it smells. it's not a compliment-getter, but it is pleasant and nobody seemed to be bothered by it - perfect for my job that required meeting a lot of different people. the sillage is quite intimate which i also liked, unfortunately staying power is pretty bad

Scent-wise, it's such a beautiful body mist in my opinion! Very fresh but not boring. I always feel as if I just got out of shower whenever I wear this. Very suitable for a hot tropical country where I live. The only down side is the poor performance of sillage and longevity

This was my Covid perfume, and it's the cheap one I still keep on my desk at work. If they've changed the formula it was for the better - I don't think I loved it before. TBS doesn't have a great perfume selection, of the half-dozen on offer this was the best one.

This is my second bottle and everytime I sniff this one I was completely refreshed and calmed. My signature ofc because the mix is just perfect. The only thing that annoy me is how weak this l'eau. They need to improve the longevity and the sillage.

A very clean, inoffensive and innocent smell. Perfect for daytime. The opening is very synthetic but the dry down is more floral and soft on my skin.

If water would have a scent and you could wear it on a hot summer`s day.

I love it. Very clean and fresh.

This one was quite of a surprise success for me. I remember in the store I found it quite synthetic on first blast. Figures, as at least 3 of the main notes are bound to be synthetic (pear, lily of the valley and vegan aka synthetic musk). But my friend who was with me kept saying how nicely soft and fresh it smells on me, so I ended up getting a bottle then and there thinking it might be nice and mild occasionally for this awfully hot Mumbai summer. Within 2 weeks I found myself reaching for it more and more often. It really did grow on me especially as after shower scent. So how does it perform on me? First blast as already mentioned I get synthetic fruitiness and lily of the valley. It settles very quickly, however, to a creamy soft pear underlined with an even softer floral vibe. I'm usually not a big fan of pear but in this case I find it super pleasant. I don't smell any rose and also the musk note I personally can't detect but I guess it might be adding to the all over softness/creaminess possibly? After one to two hours indoors (with AC) I cannot smell it myself anymore unless I lift my arm up close to my nose, but others can indeed still smell it, especially if I sprayed a bit on my clothes too. Once I threw on a shirt a second time in the morning and my husband commented 'Why are you smelling nice right after getting up?' The fragrance which I had sprayed the day before still lasted on it. So yeah, I found myself really liking it and people do notice it definitely (in a good way!). I see it leaning heavily on the feminine side. It's a clean satin-y smell with a dash of light fruitiness. Inoffensive, dreamy, hard to overspray. More of a skin scent especially in hot humid weather. Performs better in the AC than outdoors in the heat, obviously. Longevity may seem short for the wearer, but it has a tendency to surprisingly pop up again and get noticed when you don't even expect it anymore. I'm really happy I gave it a try and can see myself repurchasing it. It doesn't have me smitten like my favorite discontinued White Musk Libertine, but it's coming pretty close.

Initially I was hesitant with the release of another L'eau...as I am already disappointed by Chanel N5 L'eau and Jimmy Choo L'eau. And who knows what other Eaux will make me frown again... But this...Why, oh why does the Body Shop underestimate their fragranes, whyyyyyy?? I'm fine with a l'eau, but make it an EDP, it deserves it. I know that White Musk exists as an EDP, but I mean the combination of notes in here to be made in an EDP form. Yes it's feminine, beautiful, soft, fruity floral, with a seamless blend, juicy at times and with a drydown of a citrusy pear. I also think that rose is quite prominent. And yes, you have smelled this before, because the combination of rose-jasmine and/or lily of the valley is commonly used by high end mainstream female perfumes. But here the pear notes make the difference. Also has a small amount of baby powder Projects well for the first hour but later it stays close the skin. People might find it generic, like a lot of fresh fruity girly scents, but to my nose, which I assume is not broken, White Musk L'eau is superior scentwise.

I was Christmas shopping and bought a couple for family, got a free one, and I must say I totally like it..like, not love, but as a fan of musky scents this one is fresh, not too dry or clean, a tad floral, fresh with a green undertone ....very easy to like, and to wear..i even wear it to bed, and there are very few scents I can handle at night...No idea why it is for men too, this is very feminine in my opinion with a fresh floral undertone ..it is snowy and cold today, and the musk smells fresh and warm...I see it as an all season scent definitely...would make an easy gift for anyone who likes soft pretty scents, non intrusive...longevity is weak, but the price is great, so I will repurchase for sure.

This was my first ever "real" perfume, my older aunt persuaded me to buy it and me not knowing any better I bought it and have been burdened with this perfume since 2019. It's become a nalstogic fragrance, but I stopped wearing it in early highschool after the notes started to smell dirty on me, I wish it was cleaner and fruiter, to me it just smells like very synthetic musk, it smelt much better in the store, and in the first few months of wear. I guess I can wear it sometimes when I'm really in the mood to smell like young teenage self. Maybe my body chemistry changed but it just doesn't smell the same, and in fact it smells bad to me now.

I’ve read that the 2024 version that I just got is a reformulation of the original (which I’ve never tried) and that it’s very different than original. That being said, the 2024 version I have is very nice. It’s musky, a little powdery, and has this lovely, freshie aquatic thing to it. I really like this. I think it’s completely unisex and smells inoffensive and very pleasant, I think it’d make a great office scent or daytime scent. It projects a bit for the first couple hours and then after that sits close to the skin and stays very fresh and aquatic.

I was intrigued when I tried this in store. I tend to gravitate towards sweet-smelling perfumes but upon smelling this I liked how refreshing it is without smelling too citrusy or cucumber-y as most of the "fresh" fragrances I've ever tried. I couldn't smell the musk on this. The vibe I get is watery floral. I get compliments if I enter a room right after I spray this. It is not offensive at all so I wear it for office and anytime I wear casual clothes. The longevity is pretty bad. So I usually spray this on my clothes to make it stay longer.

Gorgeous. Same vibe as Marc Jacobs Rain. This, along with White Musk Sport, are, so far, the only fragrances from The Body Shop that I enjoy. If you're into the kind of 'not-exactly-a-perfume' perfume, this is one of them at reasonable price. Peary, cucumbery, white-musky, slightly powdery... other details are already covered in other reviews I think. Downside is it makes me sneeze a lot. Much more than I thought. Other than this, I like it tremendously.

I have the bodylotion but I assume the scent is close enough for me to comment - it is The Body Shop and not too complicated after all? At first I was not a fan but after a few uses I like it enough to google the notes. The nostalgic factor might be strong here as one of the first fragrances ever gifted to me was Eau de Eden and it is listed as similar here by some. Never thought so. Must be the lily in it, as it is not a very current note.

I didn't really expect much of this but after a full day's wear, I found myself loving it! I picked this up during my search for Ralph Lauren's now defunct Cool dupe. The initial hit is very synethic floral but as it faded, the fruitiness came out (pear and strangely, some kiwi). I don't quite smell the musk though. I think this scent works well with my skin chemistry. Will buy again.
