The Body Shop White Musk Midnight Iris Iris de Minuit is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009. White Musk Midnight Iris Iris de Minuit opens with Bergamot and Lotus, settles into a heart of Iris, Lily of the Valley, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. The Body Shop's White Musk Midnight Iris Iris de Minuit carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A deeply loved, cosy iris interpretation that's sadly discontinued, making it a cult classic and a much-sought-after gem. If you find a bottle, snap it up.

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.

About

Opens with a delicate whisper of bergamot and lotus, a subtle fresh invitation before the star of the show emerges. The heart blossoms with powdery iris, complemented by the green sweetness of lily of the valley and a hint of herbal clary sage, adding an intriguing aromatic nuance. The dry-down settles into a comforting embrace of soft musk, creamy sandalwood, and a touch of sweet, warm tonka bean, creating a velvety, sophisticated finish.
