Mostly Musk EDP

Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive throwback - some find it an addictive, warm hug while others are put off by its perceived masculinity and weak performance. If you're after a spicy, musky scent that leans unisex, and you don't mind reapplying, Red Musk might just be your jam.
Perfume Parlour's recreation of The Body Shop's discontinued 1988 cult classic Mostly Musk. Fans say it settles to the same warm, sweet skin musk after a few minutes - a faithful nostalgia hit, though some wish it projected harder. A cosy, second-skin musk for those chasing the original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its warm, spicy, and musky character makes it ideal for casual wear and dates, as it creates an inviting aura. However, the moderate Sillage and variable longevity, coupled with its distinct, sometimes masculine lean, means it's less suited for formal events or the office where subtlety is often preferred.
Seasons
The warm, sweet skin musk feels cosiest in autumn and winter but is soft enough to wear year-round.
Occasions
An intimate, second-skin musk suited to everyday casual wear and close encounters rather than formal events.
