The Body Shop Red Musk Collection*

Summer is creeping up on us, peering over our shoulders and hinting at its arrival with glimpses of sunshine this week, and I for one am very excited! Nothing says Summer to me like pink evening skies, sipping cocktails after work, that warm, almost cinnamon smell in the air and feeling like the whole thing will last forever. It won't of course, but to be able to bottle that feeling and cherish it sounds pretty damn good. And that's exactly what The Body Shop have done with their Red Musk Collection*.

The Red Musk Collection promises a sultry, cruelty free fragrance of spicy, hot notes, and delivers in leaps and bounds. I found the scent to be completely out of my comfort zone of light, fresh flowers; and I felt so much more special and adult when wearing this. I'd liken this scent to a hot Summer evening, with drinks and good friends. Spontaneous nights where anything could happen, making a fire and talking until it burns out... when the Summer feels just a little bit magic. Its as if it's bringing out this whole romantic, nostalgic side of me; which I love. I've definitely chosen the perfume as my choice of scent for this Summer, as I love finding new ones for new seasons. I find it can instantly take you back to that time even years later, when you smell that same scent again. There are also generous size bottles of body lotion and body wash, with the same sultry fragrance. Meaning you can keep that Summer evening memory alive, every day. I found the body lotion particularly beautiful; gentle on the skin and leaves your body soft to the touch. I imagine myself using these two after a day at the beach, when I'll need to rejuvenate my skin in the evening, washing away all salt and sand. If there was ever a fragrant equivalent of a smokin' red classic evening dress; this is it.
