Body Shop White Musk perfume

This was the first perfume (eau de toilette) I ever bought as a teenager, back in the late 80s Grin. I loved it and just seen on the website that it’s still being sold… I’m tempted to buy it, for old times sake, but it’ll have to be online as I don’t have any stores nearby. Does anyone know if the scent is exactly the same as I remember it?

Having just googled Body Shop misogyny that's me never buying from them again. Added to Lush. They can both get to fuck.
I'm going to have to look now! Thanks!

Really don't know why The Body Shop waded into this issue!!

Following Lush I guess. Going for the teen market.

@KittenKong What a lovely way they have of rewarding the women who loyally supported them both and made them what they are and discarding us now we are deemed no use . I wonder what Anita Roddick would have thought. I would have expected she would be very much onside with the amazing JKR.
They really hate us don't they?

Yes. It’s quite terrifying.

Shame teens are so fickle with their loyalty then 😆

Yes, too true! I swear when I was a teen they were affordable but now they're just pricing themselves out the market

@KiloWhat

If there's no Bodyshop near you it's worth contacting your local Bodyshop at Home consultant.They might be able to provide a sample so you can see if you still like the scent.

Don't do this they'll hound you to buy something.

Yes, Body Shop at Home is MLM which is an exploitation of (mainly) women. Most people end up losing money and damaging their social network. Most samples would have to be provided at the rep’s expense. Don’t support BS in any form.

AR would have been on whichever side turned the biggest profit! She sold to L’Oreal and kicked off their MLM business in 1994 (BS is now owned by Natura who also own the dreadful Avon). I’m not convinced about the whole Earth mother persona. And today BodyShop backs whatever horse it thinks will work in it’s favour. Banned in my house for years.

Its a REALLY bad time to contact any mlm rep, they will have got lured in before Christmas, made a bit of money guilting friends and family into buying Christmas gifts but now will be realising no one actually wants to buy toiletries every month from someone hounding them every time they meet/chat.
