Pros & Cons
- ✅ My favourite of all body shop frag. It is sweet gourmand-ish fragrance that is suitable for a night out with friends.
- ✅ This is the only perfume my husband compliments me on. Every time I wear it he says, 'you smell so good'.
- ✅ Wow smells so expensive and niche no one will ever know it's an affordable scent.
- ✅ Comfortingly sweet. There's something relaxing about the blend, intriguing even.
- ✅ I'm in love with Black Musk from The Body Shop's nocturnal vibe... it's a perfume for ulterior motives.
- ✅ Beloved signature scent with strong loyal following
- ✅ Long-lasting wear throughout the day
- ✅ Unique musky fragrance profile that's hard to replace
- ✅ A plush, darkly sweet blend of musk, vanilla and chocolate that feels both cocooning and seductive.
- ❌ I can't believe the amount of likes this has! This is by far the worst perfume I have ever come across. It gives me a headache.
- ❌ I really dislike this perfume, sadly. I find it to be way too sweet, almost adolescent.
- ❌ The performance was so poor. I wished it lasted longer but it wears off within 30 minutes.
- ❌ It doesn't last long on the skin and I feel it leaves an alcoholic smell on my clothes.
- ❌ I have the EDP. This is a wonderful fragrance, but it still disappoints me a bit.
- ❌ Discontinued in most regions including US and Canada
- ❌ Limited availability due to store closures
- ❌ No widely agreed-upon dupe exists in the community
- ❌ May overwhelm in summer heat
