The Body Shop Black Musk Night Bloom is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by Cécile Matton. Black Musk Night Bloom opens with Red Fruits, Pepper, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. The Body Shop's Black Musk Night Bloom carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Black Musk Night Bloom is a crowd-pleaser that punches above its weight. It's a modern fruitchouli that smells richer than its price tag, drawing compliments left and right, though some wish its performance lived up to its initial charm.

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

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile enough for the office without being overpowering, and its 'sexy' yet 'fun' character makes it a strong contender for dates and casual evenings. It's too playful for formal events and unsuitable for sport due to its deeper, warmer notes.

About

This one kicks off with a vibrant burst of red fruits and a surprising hint of pineapple, given a lively edge by a whisper of pepper. As it settles, a sweet, creamy floral heart emerges with ylang-ylang and a subtle rose, softened by heliotrope. The dry-down is where the warmth truly shines, with a smooth blend of musk, earthy patchouli, and creamy vanilla, underpinned by comforting cedar and sandalwood.
