The Body Shop has launched White Musk Breeze, a new musky floral flanker to their best-selling White Musk fragrance:

The notes feature lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, plum, peach, leafy green, elemi, rose, jasmine, lily of the valley, aquatic notes, ylang ylang, tagette, carnation, white musk, cedar wood, patchouli and touch of vanilla.

The Body Shop White Musk Breeze is available in 30 ml Eau de Toilette ($17.50); matching body products are also available. (via thebodyshop-usa)

    I do wish they’d bring back Japanese Musk rather than all these White Musk flankers. I almost don’t want to try this because it’ll be gone in a month or two even though it sounds lovely and perfect for spring. Knowing my luck, I’d fall in love with it, as I so often seem to do with LE frags or those that are destined to be discontinued.

    Yes, the old Japanese musk was terrific. The UK stores still carry the JM perfume oil; they also sell another perfume oil I don’t remember from the 80s/90s but would like to try: Woody Sandalwood.
    I wore White Musk throughout my teen years and still have an affinity for it, since it basically reminds me of myself. I was not at all pleased by the other flanker – what was it? Midnight musk or something? But I can’t wait to sniff this flanker the next time I’m at the mall.

      Midnight Iris? That was the only one I liked!

    @ mjr17 – I can highly recommend woody sandalwood – a blast from my teenage goth / rock chick years that I thought was gone forever. When I saw they’d reintroduced it I had to have a bottle. I’d saved the last few drops from my last bottle for years and, tbf, it lasted unbelievably well – even though it was in a plastic bottle!

    To me, it’s one of the v.few perfumes of theirs that *doesn’t* smell ‘Bodyshopish’ if you see what I mean – the polar opposite of the headache inducing Dewberry. If the majority of their perfume oils are for teenagers exploring scent for the first time, Woody Sandalwood is for a grown-up woman (or man!)

    It’s very rich, long lasting, mellow and comforting and definitely comes into its own in Autumn / Winter. If you like carnations, musks (dirty musks, not ‘white musks’), spices and Serge Lutens then give this a try – it smells way more expensive than it costs and could easily be passed off as an exclusive niche fragrance.

      Yeah, you don’t tend to get tons of lasting power at this price.
