I discovered this scent several years ago and swore off all other scents at the time, determined to make it my signature. The problem was this: it was way too boring after a few weeks.

It's light, clean, polite, sweet, and romantic, yet it's so linear it's really not a whole lot of fun to wear. If you're looking for a very basic feminine musk, this one's hard to beat; if you want a little complexity with your musk and something that says more than just, "I'm clean" - keep looking.

I like the scent especially the bath gell it is long lasting on the skin and layers well with all the other perfumes without overpowering them....

Sorry, I don't like it. It's not a bad stink, but it's annoying, artificial, headache inducing. I doubt it's such a complex scent as the listed notes say.
I smelt WM many years ago for the first time and I sort of like it. It was trendy and I bought a small oil bottle and matching bathgel and lotion. I got bored soon. I much prefered the vanilla oil, something I wouldn't wear today.
WM was all the hype as sexy scent. I think that over the years I've been so bombarded by this ubiquitous note both iN WM and imitations that I just grew fed of it! I don't like to stand close to people who wear White Musk and there are a lot. What strikes most is that people perceives this as warm and delicate and they often overdo it. I smell this like a punch or fast moving cloud that invades spaces of my brain and makes me dizzy. No good for me. I much prefer other kinds of musk.

I guess this perfume works with each persons chemistry.
It reminds me of a clean laundery aroma.It's classic and cheap.

Oh, the memories...this was totally what I wore in grade 10 and I still like the smell but couldn't wear it because it just seems too much like a teenager's perfume to me now.

Out of the crowd of musk scents outhere this stands out by it's purity and a velvety aroma!

It develops so very close to your skin...it lingers around you all day long!Soft milky musk and a floral ylang-ylang lily with hints of a more herbal aromatic scent start this white composition! Then followed by the same milky scent but more intense this time, and the persistent scent is an infusion of jasmin (in there somewhere) a touch of that velvety iris I like so much ...but still maintaining a floral quality with an undertone of a more deep oriental bouquet!
What I've liked was the strong presence of musk, but not animalic...it's tempered here, very lovely balanced with a more demure flowery scent...so better suited for the loving kind!

Out of all the ingredients I smell only musk. Not that it's a bad thing though ;)
I didn't like it much as a perfume and started to use it as a deodorant, and it did a great job :)
The 30 ml bottle is empty now, think I'm going to get something else from The Body Shop.

I had this in high school. Very lovely smell, I adored it. All I could smell was musk too. I still have some (in oil form) and use it whenever I feel nostalgic..

nice... but doesn't last. plus, i don't know why there are listed so many ingredients... to me it smells like musk; nothing more.

This is a nice musk that mixes well with other perfumes.

This is a fine white musk. I can't really complain about it except that it's ubiquitous and I tried to give it as a gift to a friend who promptly claimed it smelled like glue. I wore it myself when I was 14-15 years old. To me, it's soft and inoffensive, sexy in a quiet way.

Kind of cheap-smelling, but not offensively so. Best described as a bit flat and monotone. Reminds me of school...

Nothing great, but nice. Very musky good office scent. Probably wouldn't buy this one again..

Okay so I tested it... It doesn't start to stink, it just smells like musk & amorito. But not strong, and the vanilla really comes out. So nothing special, I wish bodyshop would make more 'invent your scents'.

Why did they change the bottle? My feeling about this perfume is that it's clean, reminds me (not in a bad way) of a design hospital... And this new bottle doesn't give the clean feeling. As simple, good perfume, and I was wondering, could it be possible to mix this with Rougeberry or something? Would give a nice touch. I will try this & let you know ;-)

Very sensual and classy.
But not one of my favorites.

My all time favourite evening perfume! Deep and very sensual fragrance!! The Body Shop also does this in eau de toilette but that one is quite strong, and you can feel the alcohol yaaak! :))

Soirdelune, so did every girl in Scandinavia too :) Simple, classic and nice fragrance but way too 80's for me nowadays.

Every single girl in the UK in the 1980s wore this fragrance. It was light, feminine and easy to buy with pocket money (ie cheap!). Can't believe they still make it. It's stuck in a timewarp! Fond memories, though.

soft, powdery feminine scent. very simple and beautiful and not too hard on the pocketbook either. smells more expensive than it is. My favourite musk and not too sickly sweet and 'kiddy' like the vanilla.

Not so good like Japanese Musk, but still very nice oil perfume.
