It's no secret that I am relatively picky about scents, hence why I refuse to go into Lush for 99% of the year. But when I find one I love, I'm mad about it. This time it's The Body Shop's Red Musk Eau de Parfum.
If you're into floral, sweet scents, this is not for you. But if you're into deeper, richer, muskier scents, this is right up your street. With a top note of pepper, a middle note of cinnamon and a rich base of tobacco, this is not the typically girly scent usually found at The Body Shop. This intense mix of spices creates an irresistible blend which only gets better as the day goes on. When sniffing from the bottle, the scent is almost overwhelming and smells relatively masculine. However, after a few spritzes on the pulse points, you begin to be able to detect the different layers to the perfume and it becomes warmer and deeper, perfect for those cosy autumn nights.
The best thing about this fragrance is that it lasts from the morning well into the night, unlike many floral scents which tend to drift away immediately after application. I think this scent probably doesn't appeal to everyone, but personally I think it rivals most high-end perfumes for a fraction of the price, costing between £15 - £22. I would recommend spraying it onto your wrist in store and having a wander around town to find out how amazing it smells after a few minutes.
And can we just talk about this gorgeous packaging, and the fact that it has its own box, making it perfect for Christmas gifting!
Love, Milly xx
