The Body Shop White Musk Lover is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. The Body Shop's White Musk Lover carries a Favourite verdict, a spicy-led wear.

A gentle, 'your skin but better' musk with a peppery kick, White Musk Lover is often called a Glossier You dupe, though some find it a bit too shampoo-like or fleeting. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who love clean, soft scents but divisive for those expecting more oomph.

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.

Its moderate sillage and clean, soft character make it excellent for everyday wear, especially in an office setting where overpowering scents are a no-go. It's also perfect for casual outings or as a comforting bedtime scent, though its lightness makes it less ideal for formal events.

About

White Musk Lover opens with a soft, clean burst, immediately presenting a subtle spiciness from pink pepper that keeps it from being overtly floral. The heart blooms with the powdery, almost ethereal touch of iris, mingling seamlessly with a warm, skin-like ambrette. This creates a cozy, yet fresh musk that feels like a comfortable second skin, settling into a gentle, slightly woody drydown.
