Hey Guys, As you can see above today's post is about the Body Shop's Black Musk Scent. Available in many different forms such as fragrance mist at £8.50, Eau de Toilette from £13, Eau de Parfum £22 and many more products. I opted to try the fragrance mist and the Eau de Toilette. Black Musk is a complete dupe for Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium perfume which has been my go to for a few years now, but at £52 for 30ml's its definitely more of a luxury perfume to have! I had heard that this was a dead ringer for the YSL favourite and they weren't wrong! It smells exactly the same as my go to perfume! I was over the moon! Now I have a handbag perfume to top up my daily scent! Now YSL last's all day, you can spray it at 9am and still smell it 12 hours later, the Black Musk doesn't quite have the same staying power however with its price tag being lower you can afford those few extra squirts! The Eau de Toilette retails from £13 for 30ml's. This is the stronger of the 2 products that I purchased. It lasts a good 4-6 hours. The 2nd product was their Fragrance Mist and it retails for £8.50 for 100ml. This product isn't as strong, it's more of a subtle scent compared to the Eau de Toilette. It does wear off fairly quickly, but is perfect for a top up in the handbag!
Over all I am so happy to have found a dupe for YSL that has a less hefty price tag, don't get me wrong I will still be indulging in my luxury scent but this is perfect for the handbag or to top up throughout the day. The main notes of the perfume for me are definitely the black vanilla, the pear and marzipan and almond. All combined to make the deep sensuous and sexy scent. Perfect for fall and winter as its a much deeper than the fruity scents that I go for in the summer! I hope you've enjoyed my review on the Body Shop's Black Musk & it's comparison to YSL's Black Opium. If you know of any other dupe's let me know down below! Until Next Time,
