The Body Shop Black Musk is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Cécile Matton and Ralf Schwieger.

The Body Shop's Black Musk carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A plush, darkly sweet blend of musk, vanilla and chocolate that feels both cocooning and seductive. Black Musk is an affordable guilty pleasure, ideal for chilly nights or whenever you want to feel mysterious and inviting.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The dark sweetness, vanilla, musk and chocolate give this scent warmth and depth that excel in fall and winter. The powdery, musky base can work in spring evenings but may overwhelm in summer heat.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its sweet, musky and sensual character is ideal for dates and casual outings, while the moderate projection suits some formal events. The intimate warmth makes it less suitable for office or sporty contexts.

About

Black Musk Eau de Parfum wraps you in a plush velvet of black vanilla, chocolate, and creamy musk, accented by ripe pear and a spiced floral heart. Licorice and gentle pink pepper add intrigue to a powdery, gourmand base, while heliotrope and patchouli deepen the sultry richness. Simultaneously sweet and shadowy, this fragrance balances flirtatious warmth with a dark, animalic undertone-making every wear a quietly magnetic experience.
