Eau de Parfum

The Body Shop White Musk Eau de Parfum is a unisex fragrance that wraps a powdery, creamy musk in a fresh, floral and sweet frame. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate. It is chosen across all four seasons in similar measure, with spring and fall slightly ahead, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office.
