The Body Shop White Musk Libertine is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011. White Musk Libertine settles into a heart of Cream, Musk, Rose, and Honey. The Body Shop's White Musk Libertine carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a divisive throwback. Some found it a sweet, creamy dream evoking Turkish delight and comfort, a surprisingly sophisticated soft musk. But for others, it was an overpowering, powdery nightmare, too synthetic and headache-inducing. A real love-it-or-hate-it affair, especially now it's discontinued.

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.

About

White Musk Libertine opens with a sweet, creamy embrace, instantly reminiscent of whipped cream and honey-drizzled confections. As it settles, a soft, clean musk emerges, intertwined with delicate almond and a subtle, powdery rose accord that hints at Turkish delight. It rounds out into a warm, inviting skin-scent with a Gourmand heart.
