Katie was ahead of her time with this channel! I feel like she should come back and give it another go-round. So many more people watching youtube now - I NEED Katie’s take!
I so wish Katie was still reviewing fragrances. There’s something about her that most other fragrance TH-camrs lack. That special quality that is quite alluring and evokes a genuine interest in what she’s saying. Outstanding channel. ❤💐
I always enjoyed your review. When you explain things, you can somehow take me into a journey or a movie where I can imagine how a person could feel when you smell this thing, not just straight fact reading from a sheet. Thanks, please do more Men's fragrance review
BO Voile de Fleur is pretty, and pretty distinctive as far as gardenia/jasmine perfumes go. If you can't find it online anymore, try Estee Lauder Tuberose Gardenia.
TF Extreme has a complexity that makes it more of a "grown up" fragrance. I do love how leathery it is, offset by the dark fruits. And to answer you TF Amber Absolute question earlier, it's great stuff - I wore it non-stop for about a year. It's a friendly, resinous woody scent, not particularly "ancient" smelling. It's long lasting with a lot of throw, so a bottle will last you a while.
Synthetic raw materials can be as costly to produce as natural material. Synthetic does not necessarily mean cheap. Having said that, there is a ridiculous mark up on designer perfumes from the original cost to produce. The do it because they can.
Good review, i think that it's one of those cases where the smell it's over the price, the longevity is as expected but its a really good signature scent.
Not only will this be great for an 18 year old, it's marvelous with acoustic guitar. (I don't think I've been asked to match fragrance to an instrument before now!) White Musk for Men is an excellent unobtrusive fragrance, and indeed, will make beautiful music with all the band members' fragrances, because it's subtle.
Hey Katie great review like always how is longevity? And did you get your husband to wear it to see if it lasted then same amount of time as yourself? Just some quick thoughts.
I don't think wearing perfume, commercial or otherwise, is bad for you. Commercial perfume is very stringently tested, and it is more highly regulated than even food! Besides, typically, one doesn't bathe in the stuff, it's just a spritz here and there. Many of the aromachemicals that are in perfume are also in detergent (and therefore in our clothes that touch our skin), shampoo, as well as food flavorings. I'm not worried about it.
I'd say Body Shop Love Etc, Chloe L'Eau de Chloe, Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Flora Nymphea, Jennifer Aniston, and Fresh Sugar. They're all fresh and youthful and not overpowering.
just bought this fragrance. I can't stop sniffing it ! it is really amazing. Like you said a strange combination between fresh and sexy. Better than the woman version. Love your reviews Katie !
I'm head over booty in love with this but I feel that it does not last that long. I wonder if perhaps I grow anosmic to it after wearing it for a bit or if it really has just vanished all together. And that makes me want to cry. How do you feel about its staying power?
Oh Katie, just love you! Who else could offer us resinous resin, billy goats, and...a fork in the eyeball?? Fantastic! Definitely want to try this one. Thank You! :) Julie
No. He's not really oriented towards wearing fragrance, but he'll occasionally wear something from the very nice collection he's amassed courtesy of his loving wife. He likes Donna Karan Fuel in cooler weather and Hermes Voyage in warmer weather.
I love this one! So much better than the version for women. Btw, have you tried Skin by Clean? It has that white musk going on, but with a fruitiness that is not sweet. Hmm, does that make any sense? In any case, it's my favorite "white musk and more" scent.
Hello Katie! Your reviews are more fun and clever than those by any other reviewer. Now, I just watched a review of yours: eau de pamplemousse rose and I had a question for you. I read somewhere that ALL perfume contains chemicals that might be bad for you in the long run. I found that idea scary as I wear cologne every day. A source says Jean Claude Ellena never wore perfume himself. It reminds me of a friend who worked for Coca Cola and she never drank soda. What do U think about this issue?
Katie, do you think this is a good one for an 18 yr old, male? I am assuming since you like it, it must be eminently likable. And, didn't you say cuddly? This old aunty doesn't want to give him something 'inappropriate.' Besides, I wonder if musician's wear fragrances anyway. They may intrude on one another. Who knows? Would it go with acoustic guitar?
Your comment made me laugh, because I'm the same as you: I go to the same perfume (and make-up) counters so often that I feel self-conscious and like I need to go under cover. Thanks for the SunKiss tip - I'll investigate.
I haven't smelled the men's version, but the women's one makes me feel like I need a shower when I use it. It reminds me of when someone has body odour and sprays on scent to try and cover it up. Sorry to lower the tone! I think men suit musk more than women though, so I can see how it could be 'nuzzleable'!
Hello Katie :) I love your videos, I find they're really helpful as when I want to buy a perfume I always hear what you have to say about it first. I was searching for a summer fragrance and came across Saharienne by YSL. Needless to say I absolutely fell in love with it the moment I sprayed it on my skin, but I find it isn't that long lasting. It would be great if you reviewed it :) xxx
Could you maybe do a review of Ambre from L'occitane? It was discontinued, but now it's back, yay! It's my signature scent and everytime I wear it, I get compliments. Also strange men on the street sniffing my neck, but thats ok, haha.. I've worked for L'occitane and I would get questions about this fragrance almost on a daily basis... I'm really curious to see if you like it as much as I do! Thank you in advance :)
I hate the whole gender label on fragrances (i understand girls dont want to smell manly so labels are there). I like a male sent but with a mixture of feminine sent into it too, probably cause i dont want people to look at me and say why are you trying out women's fragrances.
Katie was ahead of her time with this channel! I feel like she should come back and give it another go-round. So many more people watching youtube now - I NEED Katie’s take!
Literally, we need her now more than ever
I so wish Katie was still reviewing fragrances. There’s something about her that most other fragrance TH-camrs lack. That special quality that is quite alluring and evokes a genuine interest in what she’s saying. Outstanding channel. ❤💐
Thanks indeed!
I love Body Shop's White Musk for women. Scent is so soft and comforting. It is not an expensive perfume but absolutely very nice.
I love that you are not just focus on high-end perfume brand.
Well, I never knew you did this Katie.
Grew up watching you on TV in the 90's, you've not changed much!
I always enjoyed your review. When you explain things, you can somehow take me into a journey or a movie where I can imagine how a person could feel when you smell this thing, not just straight fact reading from a sheet. Thanks, please do more Men's fragrance review
This one is simpler and lighter. Prada Amber pour Homme is in the same ballpark for sure, but it's a bit heavier/soapier. The choice is yours.
BO Voile de Fleur is pretty, and pretty distinctive as far as gardenia/jasmine perfumes go. If you can't find it online anymore, try Estee Lauder Tuberose Gardenia.
Good suggestion for white musks. I remember liking the Suede and the Jasmine ones from that line.
50% off body shop uk ends tonight everyone.. and they have this fragrance in stock too..for a bloomin change
No idea. Such a visceral reaction! It's always a safe bet to give a fragrance a test drive for an hour or so before you buy it.
TF Extreme has a complexity that makes it more of a "grown up" fragrance. I do love how leathery it is, offset by the dark fruits. And to answer you TF Amber Absolute question earlier, it's great stuff - I wore it non-stop for about a year. It's a friendly, resinous woody scent, not particularly "ancient" smelling.

your reviews are really a pleasure to watch, great poetry, almost :)
Hmmmmm, Musk, Sandalwood and Amber-ish. Those are my favourite notes in men fragrance and I'm totally sold! Thanks again Katie..
Is there a major difference between the male and female version of this fragrance? The Body Shop sells both.
Synthetic raw materials can be as costly to produce as natural material. Synthetic does not necessarily mean cheap. Having said that, there is a ridiculous mark up on designer perfumes from the original cost to produce. The do it because they can.

White Musk for Men is an excellent unobtrusive fragrance, and indeed, will make beautiful music with all the band members' fragrances, because it's subtle.
Is the white musk for men still available with white musk/sandalwood/vetiver in 2022? I just can find a lavender white musk...
Solid review as always Katie! Good comparison on the Labdanum
What is your preferred white musk scent?
Hey Katie great review like always how is longevity? And did you get your husband to wear it to see if it lasted then same amount of time as yourself? Just some quick thoughts.
Think you'll be happy: it's a can't-go-wrong smell and you got a good deal!
Love this stuff! I have 3 bottles and I spray everything from my skin to my bedding!
Didn't use the husb as a time-lapse guinea pig. Longevity is average: 4 hours or so.
Thank you for your video! I really wanna hear about how a woman would say about wearing this!
Hi Katie, could you do a review of Red Musk by The Body Shop? :)
I love white musk sport more :) Love the added grapefruit vibe
I don't think wearing perfume, commercial or otherwise, is bad for you. Commercial perfume is very stringently tested, and it is more highly regulated than even food! Besides, typically, one doesn't bathe in the stuff, it's just a spritz here and there. Many of the aromachemicals that are in perfume are also in detergent (and therefore in our clothes that touch our skin), shampoo, as well as food flavorings. I'm not worried about it.
love this one, so glad you reviewed it! I think it is nicer than the 'women's' white musk!
I'd say Body Shop Love Etc, Chloe L'Eau de Chloe, Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Flora Nymphea, Jennifer Aniston, and Fresh Sugar. They're all fresh and youthful and not overpowering.
i just bought this one via a groupon coupon ($10)so I couldnt resist getting it. Hopefully I won't be disappointed.
Would you say it's more feminine or masculine????
I'm late, but I just bought this for myself as well as the women's version.
Thanks. It's my Little House on the Prairie Sunday best.
just bought this fragrance. I can't stop sniffing it ! it is really amazing. Like you said a strange combination between fresh and sexy. Better than the woman version. Love your reviews Katie !
I've reviewed it: check my Fragrance Name index on the front page and click on "Bottega Veneta".
This White Musk "for men" is very neutral in the olfactory sense. It doesn't smell after-shavey or anything, so it works just fine on women.
This is a good one for the "universal spritz".
I'm curious what you think of the woman's white musk from the body shop. how is it different?
I'm head over booty in love with this but I feel that it does not last that long. I wonder if perhaps I grow anosmic to it after wearing it for a bit or if it really has just vanished all together. And that makes me want to cry. How do you feel about its staying power?
I love this one!Thanks Katie!
Oh Katie, just love you! Who else could offer us resinous resin, billy goats, and...a fork in the eyeball?? Fantastic! Definitely want to try this one. Thank You! :) Julie
I bought the white musk perfume, and the fragrance is very soft and durable
which would be more suitable for a woman to wear Jovan white musk for men or TBS white musk for men?
Love all your reviews. Can you do Bottega Veneya?
Both are equally delish and acceptable on the ladeeeeez.
No. He's not really oriented towards wearing fragrance, but he'll occasionally wear something from the very nice collection he's amassed courtesy of his loving wife. He likes Donna Karan Fuel in cooler weather and Hermes Voyage in warmer weather.
What's going on is that I was scarred by a rose thorn when I was 3 years old.
I love this one! So much better than the version for women. Btw, have you tried Skin by Clean? It has that white musk going on, but with a fruitiness that is not sweet. Hmm, does that make any sense? In any case, it's my favorite "white musk and more" scent.
I've not been without this one since I discovered it many years ago. Nuzzleable (sp?) indeed
I LOVE your top or i dunno...dress? It's gorgeous! Love the style and colors.
Hello Katie! Your reviews are more fun and clever than those by any other reviewer. Now, I just watched a review of yours: eau de pamplemousse rose and I had a question for you.

Neroli 36 is perfect for hot weather.
They are different. I prefer the men's White Musk.

This old aunty doesn't want to give him something 'inappropriate.' Besides, I wonder if musician's wear fragrances anyway. They may intrude on one another. Who knows? Would it go with acoustic guitar?
The female version of this smelled incredible to me in the store and when I got it home it made me literally sick to my stomach, any idea why?
Your comment made me laugh, because I'm the same as you: I go to the same perfume (and make-up) counters so often that I feel self-conscious and like I need to go under cover. Thanks for the SunKiss tip - I'll investigate.
I LOVE THIS PERFUME !!
Could you do review on Clean, any Clean? I love them, specially Warm Cotton, but I would like to hear what You think =)
yes, right!? And the bad thing is that tomorrow is sunday...
I LOVE VETIVER
Heh! I'm glad it's creamy sandalwood and not shrill synthetic jasmine.
So glad, thanks!
I haven't smelled the men's version, but the women's one makes me feel like I need a shower when I use it. It reminds me of when someone has body odour and sprays on scent to try and cover it up. Sorry to lower the tone! I think men suit musk more than women though, so I can see how it could be 'nuzzleable'!

Haven't tried it.
Lucky me! Actually, I do meet a lot of people of eyebrow scars.
i love body shop fragrances
Would you please review Antidote by Viktor and Rolf?
yes!
Haha, I know you you mean. But I'm sure my mom didn't think it was so cute when she saw blood gushing out of what she thought was my eyeball.
Uh..."resinous resin." Not one of my most "descriptive descriptions."
Hurrah for wordpower!
U are unique!!! God bless u!! Kisses from Dubai!!!
I love this one...nice and soapy :)
Could you maybe do a review of Ambre from L'occitane? It was discontinued, but now it's back, yay! It's my signature scent and everytime I wear it, I get compliments.

oh.... I’m totally ordering one for my boyfriend for our cuddling sessions now!!!
If perfumes and colognes consist of synthetics, why are they so pricey? especially designer...
Not a usurper, because Keihl's Musk has more oomph and dirtiness. The Body Shop one is tamer and mellower.
Staying power is okay, about average.
I find the Body shop's white musk smelling kind of cheap
I like your dimples
oooh, a usurper to Keihl's Musk?
Bottega Veneta... :)
that perfume nice but not long lasting
"works equally on guys & dolls" makes extra sense if a doll says it ;)
Obviously you have not understood the reference...
nothing better than nuzzable. in a man x
I hate the whole gender label on fragrances (i understand girls dont want to smell manly so labels are there). I like a male sent but with a mixture of feminine sent into it too, probably cause i dont want people to look at me and say why are you trying out women's fragrances.
I find Tom Fords White Musk collection better... maybe because I have a Tom Ford fetish...he-he
so hot!
Uh oh, one person think perfume is for girls
What poke in the eye!!? This fragrance is like water, dissappeared off the paper strip in 1 minute, Tested it inside The Body Shop.
