Actually, I wanted to test White Musk (the EdP) at the Body Shop and came just for that. I’ve heard so many good things, but at that moment, I didn’t like it on me very much. Then I tested the others and found the scent of Black Musk really beautiful, even after wearing it for half an hour.
The fragrance initially smells sweet-peppery, and the musk is present from the start. I can't explicitly pick out the other components except for a bit of patchouli, but it all fits well together. It’s true that the scent leans a bit towards Loverdose.
The longevity is not overly good, but it is primarily an Eau de Toilette, so that’s okay (about 4 hours on me).
I believe the sillage is really relatively low, so it’s more intimate with 2-3 sprays.
The bottle is quite simple and black with a violet label, which fits well with the sensual scent notes. However, it’s always annoying not to see the fill level.
After testing it several times at home, I wouldn’t necessarily buy the Eau de Toilette again. I think there are better and longer-lasting scents in this direction, but the fragrance is quite good.
For teenagers and generally Musk/Body Shop fans, it’s probably quite acceptable, and I can also imagine it on a young lady who doesn’t want to smell too heavily perfumed.
*ADDITIONAL NOTE* after testing it again in this slightly autumnal phase, I find it quite good in terms of longevity!!! As an everyday scent, it’s perfect, especially on clothing and hair! I really like it now! You see - sometimes the perception of a fragrance changes after some time, so never give up right away =)
