The Body Shop White Musk Smoky Rose Eau de Toilette Review

I bought this eau de toilette along with the perfume and perfume oil from the same range (reviewed them all on IMBB). I have used floral fragrances before, but this is the first time I bought a rose-scented perfume. I always felt “rose” is a cliché scent and would be too overpowering or artificial but the fragrance of this eau de toilette is very mesmerizing and I love it except that it does not last as long.

My Experience with The Body Shop White Musk Smoky Rose Eau de Toilette:

The eau de toilette comes in a beautiful pink-black bottle. The bottle holds 1 fl oz of the product which seems an appropriate amount for the money paid. The bottle has a perfume mister on top, the usual kind which comes with most perfume bottles, I have almost finished the product but the mister is still in a good shape. The bottle is sturdy, easy to store and carry and looks pretty sitting on my dresser.

The fragrance has, as the name suggests, has strong undertones of rose and something smoky like musk but it doesn’t make it unbearably strong. I really enjoy the aroma of this perfume. I apply it near my ears, my collar bones, my pulse points and sometimes even rub a little to my hair since hair holds the fragrance the longest. I love the fragrance and get compliments whenever I wear it.

The wear time of this spray is, on the other hand, not worth an applause. It will last an hour or so on its own but I usually pair it with the perfume spray from the same range and that enhances the staying power to a few more hours but again not as long as I desire and has to be reapplied. So, to enjoy those compliments, I have to reapply the product.

TBS White Musk Smoky Rose Eau de Toilette

This product has the consistency of the usual EDTs, it is colorless and leaves no stain behind on skin or clothes. It doesn’t burn or irritate skin, so I guess, alcohol content is not too high and probably will not darken skin or fake jewelry as most perfumes do. Another thing I like about this product is the short ingredient list (which I prefer in cosmetic products).

I enjoy the aroma a lot but it is highly unlikely that I will repurchase this product because of its low staying power, but it is a perfume worth a try under $20.
