The Body Shop Red Musk Oud ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 18 June 2015 11 Comments

The Body Shop Red Musk Oud

The Body Shop has launched Red Musk Oud, a new limited edition flanker to last year's Red Musk.

A new, special edition fragrance for Eid with an intense and distinctly different scent, Red Musk Oud contains 100% pure, cruelty-free spiced musk with hot notes of cinnamon and tobacco.

Additional notes include patchouli, cedar and olibanum.

The Body Shop Red Musk Oud is available in some markets (not the US), in 30 ml Eau de Parfum, 30 ml Perfume Oil and 60 ml Eau de Toilette.

    I would indeed like to know how musk can be both pure and cruelty-free, unless by “100 % pure” they mean “100% completely synthetic”. In any case, at least it will be one oud that won’t be insanely expensive.

      Since all mainstream brands and most niche ones use only synthetic musk, I’m not sure what the 100% pure refers to either. Unless it’s 100% purely cruelty free! Although, since Body Shop is now owned by an umbrella brand that is not itself 100% cruelty free…

        Doesn’t all true musk go to Chinese medicine?

        Also there’s no Oud listed in the notes. An Oudless Oud.How post-modern!

      Agree with Merlin. Nobody can even afford to use real musk anymore. But it does make you wonder what they mean by “100 pure”. I guess, “100 pure non-animal”? Which is the same as saying “100% fake”, although I guess you could make an argument for vegetal musk notes like ambrette.

    I would have loved to try their rose oud/amber oud.

      However, this does sound good.
