White Musk (1981)
by Body Shop

As most sensitive and active aroma buffs know...memory and smell and emotions are powerful allies.

This scent does push me over the memory lane bridge..like reminding me about something that happemed in a former life. But the so does a $20 a quart old perfume called Blue Waltz.....as does Channel #5.....mostly memory. When its a good vague memory ...cow pies can smell good. And vice versa...

Face it....we are creatures of habit, addiction and subliminal ingrained reactionists and prisoners to our sences...espeacially smells.

White Musk reminds me of something somewhere good. But it could Have the opposite affect on anyone else. I believe that is why you see such mixed reviews here and elsewhere.....the subject.....by its very nature camt be very objective...but must forever remain subjective to each individuals experiemces and personality and sensitivity.

At that time of the 80's the floral-musky smell of the lovely Ilaria, my former baby girlfriend of the first youth, easy, optimistic and casual but wonderfully fragile while becoming a young women. She used to hug me closely with her small and firm brest pressed on my chest and used to cry sometimes, leaving on my shirts the wet of the tears and the delicate but sensual smell of a baby teenager that was growing as woman. A dreamy and nostalgic smell that is a valzer of floral notes, fruity accents on a woodsy and silky base of creamy musk. Surely an uncomplex juice but fitted with evocative power and romanticism. Great longevity and projection.

I have always loved this scent. It's simple and warm. It reminds me of growing up as a young woman. You only needed a little dab otherwise it was 'White Musk' overkill! lol! :)

White Musk is a very plain, very linear white musk with a distant background of powdery florals. It's unremarkable for either good or bad, but when Tom Ford is selling very similar fragrances for hundreds more, this just may be worth investigating into...

As soon as I sampled this I was taken back to my 8th grade homeroom. Big hair, acid washed jeans, oversized pullovers....you get the idea. Not that there is anything wrong with any of those things, but this is a straight 80s trip. Prepare yourself.

Smells nice but non-descript. It just smells clean. So generic that no one will dislike it. Nor will it turn anyone on. You just smell generically nice when you put it on. On me it smells too light and does not last beyond half an hour. On the other hand it is my mum's all time favourite. It smells lovely on her and I can smell it for hours and hours on end on her. So I am quite baffled at the outcome...
