Eau de Parfum

The Body Shop Black Musk Eau de Parfum is a unisex scent that sets a soft, creamy warmth of musk, vanilla and patchouli beneath a fruity, sweet opening. It opens with bergamot, pear and pink pepper; the pear brings sweetness while the pink pepper adds a light spice. In the heart, liquorice, heliotrope and ylang-ylang give a powdery, gourmand softness. The base of black musk, vanilla and patchouli dries down woody and oriental. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with leisure and daily wear leading and evening also suiting it. More than half of voters read it as feminine. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) and Lancôme La Nuit Trésor à la Folie have a close profile.

Victoria's Secret · 2026

Fruity · Sweet · Synthetic

Eau de Parfum

Victoria's Secret Tease Strawberry Bisou Eau de Parfum is a fruity, sweet and creamy gourmand, built for women and reading like a strawberry confection. Strawberry comes first, vanilla orchid softens the heart, and marshmallow settles at the base. The result leans less toward fresh fruit and more toward a sugary, creamy dessert. The gourmand and synthetic accords add to that candy-counter feel, so the sweetness stays front and centre throughout. If you like strawberry and marshmallow scents, Enrico Buccella Marshmallow and The Dua Brand Strawberry Cream & Marshmallows have a close profile.
