White Musk Sport
Body Shop (2010)

White Musk Sport does stand out slightly among The Body Shop's other offerings and most generic men's fresh fragrances in its pairing of musk with other fresh elements (in this case citrus). I liken it to Nautica Voyage N-83, which does with musk and sea notes what White Musk Sport does with musk and citrus notes. Of course there are floral elements, as well, but WMS is dominated by the musk/grapefruit/lemon grouping. The citrus isn't so pungent as in C.O. Bigelow's Elixir White, which is better a slightly cheaper, but WMS is so soft as to be able to withstand a barrage of sprays. That speaks to its weakness too, in terms of both projection and longevity. I regard this as sub-EDC; it makes Tommy Bahama seem like Tom Ford. But WMS and other Body Shop items have their place---light, refreshing, and best when not needing to be long-lasting.

Great fresh scent for a young man This was my very first EdT, which I used to wear at boarding school. Three years later I have now bought it again, and I am amazed by how many memories scents can awake. It all came back to me: history lessons in the morning and illicit alcohol consumption at night. It is quite saying for this scent, I think, that although it might feel like 'something everyone has tried before', it is nonetheless strong and unique enough for me to connect it with distinct memories. It is the Sports version of the original White Musk, which I have never tried, but I find it can be worn outside of sports, too. It starts out as a very citrusy and fresh scent, and gradually turns into a more masculine leather-like scent in the drydown. Longevity is great, and it will easily last you half a day or a night. For its price (16 pounds or 20 pounds bundled with a deodorant and shower gel), it is a steal. It is a great everyday aquatic summer scent, which will not make anyone go bankrupt. Adding to that, I have on several occasions received unprovoked compliments from females when wearing it. In conclusion, although it might be slightly generic, it is a good scent, especially for its price and longevity.Pros: Fresh aquatic scent, good longevity, great priceCons: Not the world's most original scent
