I quite liked this one at first, but after a few days of using it I noticed that its sharp soapy smell turns into something nausea-inducing (imo), plastic and sweet on my skin when it's warm. My gf said it smells just like a hair lacquer. I'm not a fond of all these clean-fresh-soapy perfumes, but I wanted to try something from this brand. I hate sweet fragrances so I chose this. I hoped it smells like a bar of good soap, but tbh I'd rather describe it as something chemical... Like a hair lacquer or some kind of stinky manicure liquid.

ekoeko

This is really a bathroom fragrance. Nothing more.

Nataliajj

This is good for those who like clean soapy scents.
I love it, it smells like a literal bar of white soap. It’s not perfumy or anything it’s a very literal scent, bar of white soap. That’s it.
I like to layer it with a body mist that smells like coconut and raspberries, and I always get compliments on it because u just smell clean and fresh.
It’s a good layering perfume for those who like smelling clean.

renzhina.eugenia

I can't smell it at all. Similar with all white musk centered fragrances (but I can smell other notes there). I understand that I am just anosmic to musk, so sad :(( it could be a great cheapie. Remember, that some of people are genetically anosmic to musk, and if you notice that it is hard to smell something, that can be because of that

Soap, musk and talc within the same scent’s evolution. What else can you ask for? Seriously.

IVamp

For me? No. Too sharp, too talc-like, too soapy. For my partner? He likes it, IMO it's not my favorite on him, but not bad. Linear, refreshing, clean, freshly washed linen scent. Very long-lasting and projects like crazy, shouldn't be oversprayed. This one is very much a love it or hate it, for less than 5 eur it's worth giving it a try.

lauanevan

On my skin it's so sweet, almost gourmand! I love it!!!

EDIT sprayed too much on clothes, I hate it!!!
have to be careful with this.

Samasama

I love white musk and cool cheapies but this is straight up biting into an old bar of the cheapest skin-drying soap.
Big nope.

AnivadGC

Great everyday scent. One of my favourite musks. I find most musk heavy fragrances annoy me after awhile, kinda makes my nose itch. Not this one, in fact I like spraying this on my blanket when I go to bed and I sleep better and deeper with it. It’s very relaxing and comforting. I like it especially when I have had a stressful day.

It is also a great layering fragrance to wear under my not so long lasting fresher scents. Gives them a base to grab onto.

Amazing quality considering how affordable it is. Don’t expect complexity, it is simple and nice. 8/10

Orange Heart

I'll start with a con - yes, just one. It irritates my eyes after i spray it. Once it settles it's okay, but when i spray it i can feel my eyes sting.
Now the pros - I think of it as a refreshing shower in a bottle. Very clean and fresh, I can imagine it's going to be superb for hot summer days. If I had to describe it using 2 words I'd say "white soap".
It doesn't last very long but considering the price I'm not gonna hold it against it.
So far this is my fave TdO fragrance.

electaplume

Initially, I wasn't too fond of this perfume, but it has definitely grown on me over time. It's become my go-to scent for everyday wear, evoking that fresh, clean laundry vibe. I genuinely believe it's a wise purchase, especially if you're watching your budget or need a convenient option to toss in your purse for quick touch-ups on the go. It's versatile enough for the workplace or a casual day at the park. Surprisingly, the scent lingers impressively, easily lasting for around 5 to 6 hours, though it stays relatively close to the skin.

athpolitou

To me this is much more linear than the notes would suggest, but it's an excellent white musk at a price that you just can't beat. It is not the most luxurious thing on the market for sure, but I love keeping this in my bag to freshen up during the day (it's also very office-friendly) and to spray this after I shower or when I'm at home and want something to pick me up. I also love the shower cream from the same line, the scent really lingers for hours on my skin.

dark-gardenia

Super clean, powdery, beautiful, warm, enveloping and somehow sensual, it's musk afterall. I always thought that you don't have to dive into obscure niche brands in order to smell unique. People are always intrigued when I wear this fragrance, in a good way. I love Narciso For Her, and ever since, I tried to find more fragrances based on musk, of course they are different, For Her is quite dirty and exotic, White Musk is clean, airy and it suits my skin chemistry. Longevity and projection are medium. It reminds me of Italian laundry drenched in the sun or clean white sheets, I just adore it.

Lotte_Liese

On skin, this is straight up laundry detergent, it's all fragranceless soap and nothing attractive. However on clothing, it is a clean, slightly powdery white musk. This leads me to believe that my skin chemistry and the chemical compounds in the perfume don't mesh well together.

Cristina S.

Years ago my mum used to religiously wear this everyday so I will forever associate this perfume with her. It smells powdery, a bit like old fashioned powder puffs that would be used to apply loose powder on the face. I say powder puff and not just powder because this fragrance has a cushion-y quality to it. It makes you think of something soft. It’s comforting, warm and clean. There’s also a matching cream and I’m pretty sure a shower gel as well, in case you really love the smell. I remember it being well lasting but not an overpowering fragrance you can smell from a distance. I would say that if you’re on a budget but you want to smell good and put together, this is it!

ChayChama

This is eloquent, sensual and delicate. Forget about NR or the body shop musk, this so deep, clean🤍, ethereal, and velvety, resembling the scent of freshly washed linen or the gentle embrace of a loved one. Its subtle with a touch of sophistication. It adapts and blends seamlessly, much like a second skin without being animalic. Absolutely my favorite out of Tesori d’orient line. Long lasting. It gets more powdery at the dry down but in a smooth creamy way. So even if you hate powdery scents like me, you’re going to enjoy this one.
I got the bath cream first time and fell in love with the it and I got the perfume for not even 5 euros! That’s the most affordable perfume I know that smells like wealth.

Fierce Swan Scent

This is such a stunning white musk for the price. It has all those bright white indistinguishable florals; starchy laundry notes. But about a minute in I get a very subtle herbal, almost minty hint. I'm an 80s animal so this will appeal to those remembering aldehydic 'hairspray' notes.

Truly excellent for the price, the matching soap is wonderful too.

illas

the notes on the official tesori website are currently as follows:

top notes: ylang ylang, rose, (i don't know what this word means)
middle notes: cyclamen, freesia, jasmine, clove
base notes: white musk, tonka bean, vanilla berries

Kossunmaistelija

Comforting, clean, soapy and sweet. And extremely cheap, which is nice. Pretty feminine but I think it's wearable as a a man. Really nice

lichprincess

Great in theory but to me it has some sort of stinky sweat smell that I notice if I smell it from the bottle. It won't leave me even if I spray it but I do get compliments. I don't feel very clean or fresh when I wear it tho. Not for me.

JDHundredweight

No joke, this reminds me of a Prada fragrance—one of the ones with a luxe soapy vibe, like L’Homme or Amber. The Prada ones smell a little more expensive, but not a LOT more expensive.

SusiLisa_pixie

It's an okay one for me. Does even better in longevity when layered with the bath / shower cream washes, then the body cream and finally the aromatic perfume.

I preferred it in Autumn & Winter but it's just not my favourite from Tesori d'Oriente. My mom loved it and it ended up being her favourite from their Ritual ranges. So I guess that makes my gift shopping for her a tad easier.

vjdism

Clean smelling and the first fragrance I got compliments from my dad haha. Literally a $4 perfume. I would say get it and spray it when you don't want to wear an expensive fragrance (going to the grocery store, I use it all the time)

mamoudaki

Definitely a more masculine scent. Gives off my bfs deodorant vibes. Almond baby powder. Kewl❄️

Fick von Nacht und Tag

Smells like a kitten.
Very Italian, clean, musky, powdery, unisex and long lasting.

Fragility

Use this as an everyday alternative to my beloved Original Musk by Kiehls. TdO White musk is more linear and less floral with an outstanding staying power and sillage for dirt cheap prices. Fell in love with the soap first and I’m glad I found their fragrance as well.

MrsCongeniality

This is the first Tesori d'oriente perfume i don't love, I also don't hate it, it's just allright. I hoped to get a powdery fresh and clean scent, but all i smell is just plain musk.

looleeloo

I know it's a cheapie, but I was so afraid of what I was gonna get! (too many awful cheapies accumulated)
I'm pleasantly surprised. Yeah, the first spritz is kind of strong, synthetic and off-putting, but what happens after some time is this yummy, milky, creamy sweetness.
One day after (17+ hours later), and I can still smell the coziness on the T-shirt that I've slept in.

Htheone

I blind bought this because of the good reviews on our national "Fragrantica" and the low price. First I found it terrible, like others, I thought it smelled mosquito repellent. But as it was already there, I gave it a second and third try, and I realized I like it a lot. My daughter and mother also like it, so now each of us have a Tesori White Musk of our own. I will always rebuy it.

DariaFrancesca74

Taken by a compulsive shopping spree, I emptied the Treasures of the East sector. Having snubbed and / or underestimated it for years and years, despite having appreciated its olfactory performance on several occasions. After reading all the reviews here on Fragrantica I decided to test and live these cheap fragrances, very synthetic but still pleasant, if it goes I will spray them in the rooms ... White Musk by Tesori d'Oriente is a fragrance of the Paolo Cerizza nose therefore definitely a blend with its true identity and not the usual improvised dupe. White musk emerges in its reassuring and powdery nature, leaving a floral scent of rose petals and white flowers amplified by the power of aldehydes. When dry down, the sensuality of amber leaves its mark. I believe it is by far the best fragrance in the line.

heartaura

I got this because it's ridiculously cheap and I just wanted to see how this scent performs and smells. It does open up with insect repellant but it goes away in less than a minute and afterwards it smells like floral scented baby wipes for at least 30 mins. Then finally you get more of the musk but at this point the sillage is much more intimate and it does turn into a skin scent fairly soon after, like after drydown it lasts for like an hour altogether before completely disappearing from my skin without any trace of ever being there. It does smell very clean, powdery and soft and the smell isn't that bad at all for this price if you exclude the mosquito spray opening. I'll probably use up the whole bottle eventually but I'm not sure if I'll repurchase because of the baby wipes smell which isn't really my cup of tea. The powdery florals with the musk are nice even though I'm not the biggest white floral girlie. All in all this is an ok fragrance and has matching shower and bath gel options as well as deodorants if you want to maximize the baby wipes vibes you totally can for an affordable price.

Vulcan35

Had they toned down the vanilla a bit (surprisingly vanilla is not mentioned in the notes) this would have been the perfect musk, but maybe they needed this to be more feminine than masculine for commercial reasons. I currently use it as an after shower fragrance cause it does feel a bit soapy and clean (I mean this both in a good way and a bad one, it depends on my mood). Very good performance, I need exactly this musk, only in a more masculine tone to not just use it after showering but before sex too! Any ideas? (6.8/10)

AmazonianCat

I usually use it in the evening after a warm shower. It smells nice and clean (reminds me of soap). It is quite strong and long lasting, 2-3 sprays do the job. When I wake up I definitely still smell it on myself. Great perfume for the price. 👍

perfumehuntern19

This perfume is actually super easy to describe. This is basically Nivea but better in a bottle. It's a more complex version of the standard Nivea cream that comes in the blue packaging. It has a musky powdery white floral scent, a bit soapy on the drydown. I don't think I would ever wear this alone because it's not really my thing but I definitely think it could pair really well with other fragrances.

Skinterpreter

Very nice. This is the only one from today's (rather unsuccessfull :P) blind buys I really, really like. Very affordable (almost for free) just like Byzantium. Nice, simple, almost warm white musk scent. It's rather soapy but still with a very slight hint of vanilla to it. So clean, with a powdery quality. Very enjoyable. :)

Sleekdecadence

This the smell of the original cosmetic powder. Not the sweeter one but the spikier vintage one.
Reminds me of a special era from the past: hanging feather boas among beret hats and the scent of thighs worn legs but in a good way. Sepia tones on leather books. Lonely crystal vase holding withered bouquet under dusty velvet drapes.

HeavyBeatsUK

Great performing, sexy, unisex musk. Whenever I wear it, I get hundreds of compliments. I feel so attractive when I wear it. 10/10.

alexz_88

Soapy, more amber to me than musk. I don't recomend it unless you're looking for a fragrance that you can spray on yourself after a shower. It was very cheap so that's why it doesn't hurt as much that I'm not a fan of it.

Coco_fab

Tesori di oriente is basically my teen years and young adult hood ! I first came across this beautiful scent when I was about 12 years old in my hometown in Sicily. It was love at first sniff and it was my signature for many years.

A few weeks ago I got Coco Noir and it smells like the more mature , sophisticated sister of it and now Coco Noir is my signature scent but tesori will always stay in my heart because it molded my passion for fragrance and prepared me for the big Chanel !

Tesori di oriente white musk , opens with a fresh flowery powertet scent, the dry down hugs you with warm musk notes and it literally hugs you for the time you wearing it !

lizomicke

Smells like a bar of soap. Like the ones old people have.

Katiaviene

The sent of freshly laundered clothes. After a while - freshly ironed clothes. Gosh, it's awesome for a white shirt day. Although wouldn't call it a fragrance.

chimidoro

I think this is absolutely wonderful and I use it to fragrance my home.
It gives off the most homely and clear, clean & fresh, warm & slightly powdery scent. A really glorious white musk, not too citrussy or like a bubble bath. It's more on par with, say, The Body Shop White Musk, but not as floral and heady or powdery as that, definitely leaning more toward that than, say, Jovan Musk. I have not tried Jovan Whiite Musk (yet) but given the votes on that smelling similar to this I'll be sure to buy some.
I am not trying to insult the scent by saying that I use it as a room spray, it's just that I wore TBS White Musk in my youth, using the bath products and musky oils/candles, so the scent was often present on all of my clothing/fabrics and in the air of my bedroom. I have therefore formed a strong attachment and association with comfort and safety - based around this sort of fragrance, and it's an impression I'd like my home to give to visitors.
This doesn't make my home smell like a perfume has been used, it smells like a nice candle has burned or like the home has just naturally developed this sort of fragrance based on a mixture of human movement and cleaning products used around the house. Very nice. It's almost buttery. Smooth and gentle in character, never muggy or overpowering.

kat716

Very affordable.. Great performance. A simple white musk that doesnt dissapoint.

ViouAmara

Clean, yes, but delicate. The delicious softness of a baby talcum, this as a simplistic minimalism. A tiny spray is enough to enjoy the palpable soapy and powdery sweetness.
Thank you Tesori.

gmr1967

When you want to wear something linear, clean, discreet but persistent. It never disappoints. Low cost? Yes. High performance? Yes

gmr1967

Beloved fragrance of this Maison. Hints of clean, freshness, when you want to wear a linear and mononote perfume with a remarkable persistence and a medium but very pleasant trail. A timeless fragrance, ideal for all seasons, not demanding. Here is the explanation of a considerable number of admirers. Congratulations to this company!

Bad_Girl_Bex

HELP! I THINK I MAY HAVE OVER-SPRAYED!

I'm an "over-sprayer" by nature. I've been around enough fumes however, to know (for the most part) which one's to spritz with liberal abandon, and those which require a tad more restraint. Today however, I misjudged a scent and now I feel as though I'm getting a "cloying" frag-induced headache.

White musks are usually pretty straightforward, right? I grew up with a bottle of the Body Shop White Musk EDP, the perfume oil, the body lotion, shower gel etc...and was used to being able to douse myself in lashings of the stuff. I also had Jovan White Musk which again could be applied with gusto, along with a zillion other cheapie body sprays and oils and whatnot, all bearing the name 'White Musk' over the years. The only one ever to give me any problems was Monotheme's version which to me seemed to have an almost cinnamon-ish harsh note it in. But other than that, they're almost always a safe bet.

Enter Tesori d'Oriente White Musk. Okay, so, in my defence, I was trying to get rid of another perfume I'd been trying out on my wrist earlier...a perfume which on the dry-down was just a never-ending reek of sweaty Arab flip-flops. So I really needed a clean, bright note of something to clarify my olfactory senses and drench out the Extrait du Kuwaiti Khazi that was annoying the frick out of me. So I did the usual thing I would with a white musk, I grabbed it and spritzed it about 8-10 times on my wrist, on my neck, on my clothes, whatever and then OMIGOD IT'S SO FRICKING STRONG! WHY DID NOBODY WARN ME HOW POTENT THIS STUFF IS!!??

Yeah it definitely drowned out the other stank-brew-residue, but this? You know when a smell is so strong that it almost seems to take on a kind of physical shape and presence? Well this was like some huge, white, icosahedron, steam-rolling around my apartment and scoring me a big fat natural 20...whilst hitting me upside the head with a tonne of aldehydes, some lilac and a load of concentrated laundry detergent. All nice notes...IN REASONABLE DOSES!

This was not a reasonable dose. Yes it was all my fault, yes I'm a moron; will I do it again? Yes of course I will. I'm a moron remember. But boy did it ever shock the shit out of me. I mean, it's starting to die down a bit now. Well, either that or I've burned through every last nerve ending leading to my olfactory bulb and murdered my sinuses beyond repair, but at least the headache is abating somewhat.

It's a weird one when I try to compare it because it has the cool toned almost metallic feel of The Body Shop's White Musk, but it has the more fragrant aspect of Jovan's White Musk. It's synthetic as all hell, but if I wanted to smell natural I'd forgo antiperspirant and waft about the place like a sweaty old hippy. No, synthetics are awesome. But they really do need to be applied cautiously, because sometimes they can really slap you upside the head and spin you face-first into the middle of next week, if you aren't careful.

But if you're in the mood for some chaotic neutral in your fragrance armoire, then it's totally worth the £7.99 I paid for it on eBay. In future I will use it MUCH more sparingly, but I see it largely as a potentially useful base from which to layer other fragrances upon. 7/10 would definitely do it all again, lol.

Agnesca

This is only my first impression of thi sperfume and I really don't know what to think of it.... I smell white musk all right but also a very generic and fake sweet ness that reminds me on some cheap and also cheapsmelling vanilla deo from my childhood. I think this could soften if the drydown became more calm and silent but the longevity and sillage is just too much for me with this perfume as if it wouldn't ever calm down to a softer, less loud and harsh smell. I will test it again for sure and I may change my opinion but now I really think that this is a little bit on the 'vulgar' end of musks, too artificial and linear. Can be very good for layering, though.

notnotevil

Very nice powdery white musk, and I notice lilac instead of jasmine. Very inoffensive, and very long lasting. Out-of-shower clean as other suggest, and almost androgynous.

food.is_life

Smells very comfortable, like going to sleep in freshly washed, soft bedding. The powderyness is reminiscent of a high quality deodorant. Overall, feels clean and cozy.

jolieshirley

Un très joli musc blanc à un prix imbattable.
Une douceur enveloppante, sensuelle, irrésistible.
Il a une bonne tenue.

Les flacons alu de 100 ml sont pratiques à transporter et il y a une gamme coordonnée; je suis si fan que j'ai acheté le savon. Une marque sans prétention, un excellent rapport plaisir/prix, je craque à chaque fois que je pars en vacances en Italie.

PerfumedParrot

After my post on the forum asking for the best soapy/detergent scents, someone suggested this. I stipulated that I wanted “clean with no vanilla” (as I can’t stand it) so this sounded like a perfect blind-buy.

But immediately I detect vanilla, even though there’s none listed. My nose knows vanilla when it smells it. To me, the concept of smelling clean isn’t smelling sweet, and this is ultra vanilla sweet.

In a nutshell; Tesori D’Oriente’s ‘Muschio Bianco (White Musk)’ starts off like a sweet Johnson & Johnson’s baby oil but the dry-down becomes Donna Karen’s ‘Cashmere Mist’.

It smells like the sweet skin of a baby, when I wanted luxury soap.

giuseppe98gp83

Some time ago:
I run to my grandmother's bedroom and suddenly I drop what seemed to me like a simple aluminum souvenir. She arrives, worried, since I had crashed doing overthrow a lot of things. Immediately afterwards I ask: "Grandma, what is this strange gray bottle?". So, she removed the cap and sprayed into the air. At that moment I think I had one of my first contacts with what I called "perfumed air". It was love at first sight, so much so that I stole it and sprayed it on my little legs. Over time I realized that it was a woman and from there also understood what it means to have a broken heart. Now I grew up, a lot of time has passed but that scent I could never forget. The clean, the beautiful, the pure in one (underrated) fragrance. Nowadays I continue to study it and to fall in love with it continuously. One of the few perfumes that can be worn all year. A beautiful floral-powdery and only for classic,wonderful women like my dear granny.

ambrata

I guess you might appreciate this if you like white musk, but I suggest not to blind buy it, the projection is very strong and it lasts A LOT.

To me it smells very cheap and fake. It can definitely cause headache and strong sneezing, therefore I couldn't use it even just for spraying in the air. Had to give it away. A total disappointment.

KrissyKris

Came to a hot city today in Europe and walked into DM store to strengthen my deo collection

meliecat

To my nose it`s a blend of Jovan Musk Concentrate and The Body Shop`s White Musk..Pleasant, long-lasting and great value for how good it is! I bought all 3 bottles available at my chemists..

Midnight Lady

I get moderately fresh musk with aldehydes, somehow I would guess I smell also a citrussy vibe but not listed...

Feels nice, out of shower clean, soapy. Perfect good to go cheapie for spring. Will probably get a bottle myself. Might also feel nice as spring bedtime scent.

LadyIva

This is a lovely little cheapie. I have the entire Tesori d’Oriente White Musk collection, which, aside from this EDT, also includes a solid soap, liquid soap/body wash, deodorant and body butter. This EDT is a lovely, clean, fresh and just a little kinky musk scent, with above average longevity. It’s so much better than the sharp, acidic TBS White Musk. It’s great on its own as a simple, unassuming everyday frag, but also excellent for layering - for example, I layer it with Diptyque Eau Rose to get a gorgeous, long lasting rose-musk combo.

pavi_ne

I am a musk lover and this cheapie did surprise me a lot. It's very clean, creamy, soothing. In comparison with TBS, this is much smoother, TBS surely has a bit sharper vibe. And I have been told I smell like summer by the seaside. Yes please!

Albertos

clean and soap scent! very fresh! summer scent. Nice!

Suzy Schnabel

And now I prefer THIS to Nasomatto's C-White... ( too dirty LOL ) Really good stuff.

Suzy Schnabel

A clean musk. I prefer China White ( not so clean ), but if u do love clean white musks, this is a very cheap but interesting option. ( myself am anosmic of most musks , like N. Rodriguez, but C.White and this one , I CAN smell )

Pez_Enelrio

It reminds me of some old deodorant spays nannies are using:D but actually I like it, and for the price its really a nice musky fragrance, also to combine with others that on me turn out too sharp or too sweet.

Shwets

This reminded me of Avons Soft Musk and the initial phase is quite an animallic white musk like the type in Clair de Musc.

The dry down is my favourite (clean musk) and it lasts for so long on the skin - considering its a body spray.

So

Indeed a fascinating soapy-powdery-clean-intimate aroma lingering more than 12h on the fabrics and long enough on the skin. I didn't expect having such a marvellous surprise for such a good price. Love it !
And thanks for the tip - someone before me - it is outstanding for layering with other perfumes !!!
I also acquired the deodorant, the shower gel and the body butter and I am even more pleased with all of them. I kind of like better the smell of the deodorant - on me - than that of the perfume. And the cream - warm and discreet - a true pleasure.
Thank you Tesori :-)

The official notes from the Tessori website are these:

Top Notes: Aldehydes, Jasmine, White flowers
Middle Notes: Pink *- I have no idea what that note is
Base Notes: Musk, Woody notes

NataliaChudo

I use this number for layering with other more expensive ones-today I was wearing it with Datura Noir-the outcome is wonderful!I still prefer the older discontinued version of White Musk of The Body Shop,though. Nevertheless,this little affordable fellow is good for its price.

rihabi

i don't know if it's unisex, but i'm loving the musk and amber combo.. it's intoxicant and sensual. it smells best when it's sprayed on the neck zone, or behind the ears. the lasting power is poor..oh why :( it should've been worked on better. but honestly i adore it and would say definitely 'Yes' for a repurchase.

nm4

On my opinion this frag is unisex..amber,musk..it is very longlasting with good projection,ultra cheap price but outstanding quality..

Nikkafragrance

It's totally musk and it's very potent - I sprayed it on wrist, after a three hours I took a shower and it's still radiating from my skin. The scent is nice and unisex.

LadyPilot

If you are looking for the ultimate musk scent, do go for this one! It's so intense, long-lasting and overwhelming - as I hate musk, all I could put up with was the shower gel which gave me enough of this scent. But for anyone who loves musk, this is a must! And the price is just great for this quality and longevity.

Le_Coeur_Gothique

First of all, let's get something straight. I'm a total sucker for white musk. It's my staple "weak at the knees" perfume note. Now, I know that white musk is considered to be a tender and dreamy note, something that is usually associated with babies and innocence and cleanliness and stuff, but this one is the bully of the white musk class! It singlehandedly puts all other classmates to shame, stomping on them relentlessly and stealing their pocket money. And also proving that in some cases niche perfumes are nothing more than a farce and/or way overrated. No? Well, let's say that you can buy some 15 bottles of it for the price of one Montale White Musk. Now, according to statistics this would mean that Montale White Musk is 15 times better than Muschio Bianco. Well dear statistics, I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but it's not. It's not even better on an one-on-one scale. And how could it be? Muschio Bianco is a linear, yet gorgeous and "I'm done with subtlety!" blast of the best white musk money (just a little of it) can buy. As for its longevity, the only way to get rid of the damn thing any time sooner than it decides to get rid of you, is to have it surgically removed. How does almost 24 hours of pure white musk mayhem sound for a single spray? To me it sounds like potential of being in white musk heaven for a year, for as much as a cup of coffee costs. Better deal anyone?

Very synthetic to my nose & not aromatic at all I am afraid! Lasts forever....

HeavyBeatsUK

I like the fact that this is a white musk fragrance but that it has heavy sillage so it can be smelled by others. If you smell your wrist close up, it smells like baby powder but the cloud around you smells like musk. My only complaint is that the white musk lacks the sexiness of White Musk by Swiss Arabian (lacks sillage), and lacks sexiness altogether :( It is more of a clean smell in the style of baby products.

Agafia

I used to dislike this one, but I tested it on myself in extremely hot weather, and guess what...I love it! I'm happy that it's not as popular as in Italy.

Allinug

Smells good from the bottle but not on the skin, so discusting sweet. Is it the soapy smell that makes it so sweet or what? Where is that fresh clean smell...Sorry but I don't get the good reviews.....there is nothing good about this perfume, it's awful.

Legolas

Great quality for the price.. It's cheap,but it dosent smell cheap,and it is very long lasting,quite good projection also..

anthe

It stays on the skin 'forever' :)

dezaval

Really nice and easy-to-wear fragrance. It's affordable but not "cheap". You must be a white musk fun to enjoy it. Very elegant, sensual and sparkling! I would recomend it mostly for day wear in autumn or spring, because it's quite light for winter and quite heavy for summer. Somehow it makes me feel happy. I'm wearing it these 2 last weeks and it's a smashing hit!

djuzz.becuzz

It's a clean, sweet & powdery musk... Very long lasting!!!

Lidell

Pleasantly clean. Though I'm not really an admirer of musk scents, this is definitely the most wearable and sophisticated along with the Montale one - and it lasted for 7 hours on my dry skin. Outstanding quality for really low price.

This is a very clean and refreshing smell. I often use a white musk shower gel, and this perfume makes me feel as if I'd just got out of the shower. After about thirty minutes the amber starts to surface, making this scent sweeter. Sometimes I even spray it on my bed linens.
Simple but very nice, and totally affordable, as it's ridiculously cheap.

annetw

Very straightforward, simple scent:
White musk all the way from opening to drydown!

Very affordable, decent sillage and longevity. On it's own I think it is too boring and synthetic.

So I mainly use it for layering with scents that I think could use some extra musky oomph :)

(For example, Agent Provocateur - that's supposed to be quite musky but the rose is too dominant for me. So there comes my bottle of Tresori d'Oriente White Musk, to the rescue!)

rougetnoir

I just got my bottle for 3.95 euro in Rome in a drugustore (acqua&sapone). I use it as a perfume or body spray, after shower, before sleeping, and lately I use it to layer other perfume.
it is a delicate perfume, if you like musk and don't want to spend a fortune, it's for you!

Lakambini

Must be my nose, but I don't perceive the reputed similarity between this and the Body Shop's White Musk. Rather, I got something very clean and soapy. . In addition, it's remiscent of a Johnson's baby oil (mineral oil) I used as a kid, which makes sense since so many personal care products have been impregnated with synthetic musks since the 1950s.
The fragrance does not develop, simply fades from the skin in 2-3 hours (faster I suppose during summer), so this is one of those you must carry in your purse if you want to smell consistent. Or spray it on your shirt -- the fragrance is mild enough not to be over-powering. Fortunately, the canister is light and handy. I like, rather than love White Musk-- one of those old reliables you can grab without a moment's thought, or lend to a friend without worrying about her rocking your signature scent. :)
UPDATE: I've taken to layering rose scents over this -- a Marks&Spencer rose soliflore bought way back in 2005, or some Bulgari Rose Essentielle. Wow! The combination of rose, violet and musk is soapy, deep and long-lasting.

ROSU VERONICA

Foarte bun acest parfum, te indragostesti de el pe masura ce trece timpul. Pe pielea mea este cel mai potrivit parfum de pana acum. Eu sunt din Romania iar aici se gaseste aceasta gama de paroduse.

Bandit

It's hairspray, alright, but a nice one and still it smells musky-soapy-clean as well. You cannot go wrong on trying this, it's so dirt cheap and I guess a great summer frag, when you only want to smell clean, nothing else.

Mellyhelly

This one is quite good in its kind and very inexpensive. You can find it in many drugstores in Italy for about 7 euro.
Many people here rave this perfume and I... hate it!
Sorry but this is for me one of the grossest invenction of our era: the white musk! What is this white musk?? Just a single chemical note made in lab for very cheap cost, especially this kind and used in so many products with a violent exposition effect.
Shampoo, clothes washing, fabric conditioner, floor detergent, soaps, bathfoam, body creams, air freshner (sprayed in the elevator!!!!)... and then perfume on top!
You go to the cinema and you smell WM from 4 rows apart. You go to a restaurant and the waitress wears WM and she kindly bend towards over you to serve. You line up at Post Office and someone is wearing WM (usually tons) then you enter elevator and the lady in charges for cleaning sprayed some WM to keep "fresh" after cleaning...

No more animal stuff (better so for animal's sake), not a "plant" as many people think and SA go on telling them ("What is WM?" "Oh, yes, it's natural! It comes from a tree..")
Think of one perfume you really dislike or feel unconfortable with and think a world scented with that smell! This is how I feel with white musk of any brand. For sometime the whole world around me smelled of White Musk, especially TBS version then all the great variety.
Some are more awful than others, but that note in itself is very disturbing for my nervous system and it probably IS dangerous for your nervous system on longterm, like synthetic vanillin.
The more this fashion will fade and eventually die the happier I will be.
Tesori d'Oriente Muschio Bianco will follow its alikes in the cemetery of White Musks.
I much prefer Mirra in the same line if I had to choose one.

ION

Here we have a bolder version of Body Shop's "White Musk"!
It is very nice and maybe the best smell from this Italian line of grooming.
I find the 250ml body shower not thick enough (consistency wise), really, I always end up consuming more product than I need.
Nothing else to say here, for most people this EDT that sells for no more than 6 euros, is all the fragrance their nose and mind actually need.

soonflower

Had it, at first liked it...after few times I was bored with it. It's not complex, smells all day long - musk, musk, musk.
Not for me, but still...not a bad fragrance.

demonia

when my team worker wears this one,she just turns me on with the scent of it:D

blueberry

Pretty longlasting for the price- it lasts on clothes for weeks! A pleasant and relaxing musk vibe, the EDT works fine with soap/shower gel/body lotion. For the lovers of musk it's a bargain!

Amarilia

Iam a fan of musc scents, and Tesori D'Oriente white musk is really nice and long lasting indeed. I love the whole body line of Tesori d'Oriente, and white musk is my favourite. I use this as a body spray,over the body lotion, and the wondeerful clean and soft, slightly powdery musc scent lingers on skin for many hours. This a lot better than Body Shop white musk. Bravo!

allexa27

very good musc scent
