The Body Shop: New! Scents of the World ~ #Review

The Body Shop has been inspired by international aromas and created five (5) new scents.
This collection is the first containing "100% organic alcohol and global sourced natural extracts".

The Body Shop has five new scents: (left to right)
Japanese Cherry Blossom - Fruity & Floral
Indian Night Jasmine - Spicy & Seductive
Atlas Mountain Rose - Amber & Musk
Madagascan Vanilla Flower - Amber, Frangiani, & Vanilla
Amazonian Wild Lily - Green & Fresh

It come in either the Eau De Toilette 50ml (C$25) or the Perfume Oil 15ml (C$16).

I never knew but did you know perfume oil is the "strongest and longest lasting form of fragrance?  Alcohol-free, they are ideal for use on skin sensitive to alcohol-free fragrance."  This perfume oil does not leave you greasy.  Once you rub it in, it quickly dries and leaves a matte finished.  I'm in love.

I had the opportunity to try out the scents and  I know they will all make you smell lovely and sexy.  I can't tell you which like more because I really like them all.  I would have a hard time choosing one or two at the store.  I like the size of the perfume oil so I could easily put them in my purse for a light, quick touch up if I needed it.  My daughter was sniffing them and told me she like them too.  She likes them so much that she asked if she can put some on too.  Why does my baby want to grow up so fast?

This would be an ideal Valentine present for all those ladies who loves perfume.  I am thinking of getting one or two for my mom's Mother's Day present.  She is a big on perfume.  She wears them everyday and she will actually finish a whole bottle...down to the last drop.

This collection "contains 100% Community Fair Trade alcohol made from sugar cane obtained from the CADO co-operative in the Cotopaxi province of Ecuador."

I did a little experiment - I have blended two fragrances (Madagascan Vanilla Flower & Atlas Mountain Rose) and created another scent I really enjoy.  It would be fun to experiment and create something new you might like.

Available in stores and online February, 2013

    Glad you like them so much! I would love them too. I would love to try the Japanese Cherry Blossom. Fruity and floral all in one seems so nice, plus I like the pink bottle!
