The Body Shop Strawberry Eau De Toilette - Review

Hey lovelies.today i am going to share a review on my favourite and yummiest scent Strawberry Eau De Toilette.I bought this perfume 4 years ago as my bestie's bday present, it's mouth watering strawberry scent made me fall in love with it and afterwards i had to get one for myself and since than it is one of my favourites.Well you can call me a strawberry maniac because no matter how hard i try i can not resist anything strawberry.can you??



Product Description


A sweet and sumptuous fruity floral fragrance inspired by the fresh smell of wild strawberries.
Its mouth-watering scent is combined with energetic citrus and delicate floral with underlying notes of sandalwood and musk. This fragrance offers a delicious intensity

Fragrance Notes

 
Top notes: red currant, wild strawberry and red apple
Middle notes: fruity notes, flowers and wild strawberry
Base notes: nectarine, musk,sandalwood, vanilla and wild strawberry.
 
 
 

My thought


i think the scent is sweet and strong without being overpowering yet refreshing in way that will make you hold on to it.the smell is perfect for the spring and summer season to freshen up the mood.its not exactly like the fresh strawberries, its more like a strawberry syrup but smells better and strong.its so yummilicious i keep sniffing the lid only to fall in love with it again and again.

i must tell its not a formal kind of scent so most of the people won't like it but if you are a strawberry lover like me you will fall in love with it. i like to wear it in daytime after shower,the smell stays for 5-6 hours which is expected from the TBS fragrances, but when i combine this scents with strawberry shower gel and strawberry body butter it lasts longer, almost for 12 hours. 

the EDT comes in simple red coloured bottle with a golden lid and beautiful writing on the front.the bottle contains 60ml of the product.the Strawberry EDT was a limited edition but i can still find it in Pakistan while in UK and USA it was discontinued but in 2012 it was relaunched in USA in a smaller size 30ml along with other fruity smell EDT .e.g Coconut EDT, Mango EDT, Pink Grape Fruit EDT etc.Well i m wondering how would it be like having the mango and coconut perfume so i am most probably gonna buy them but it will have to wait as i have already many scents to use.


Pros

  • Fruity Smell
  • Refreshing
  • Best for summers and springs
  • Budget Friendly
  • The size makes it travel freindly

Cons

  • Not exactly fresh strawberry smell
  • Staying power

Price      PKR 2450, $14 for 30ml

 
i love it to bits <3 have you tried it??

The Body Shop "LOVE ETC...™ Eau de Parfum" - Review

My yummylicious LOVE ETC..... <3


LOVE ETC...™ Eau de Parfum

Product Description

 

Fragrance Personality:

the irresistible fragrance in a lasting eau de parfum: a heart-stopping fusion of jasmine, vanilla and sandalwood notes.
 

Family: floriental
 
 

Notes:

  • Top notes: pear, neroli, bergamot 
  • Middle notes: jasmine, heliotrope, lily of the valley
  • Base notes: vanilla, sandalwood, musk cream

 

*for those who doesn't know about the fragrance notes
 
 

What are fragrance 'notes'?

 

These are the ingredients used to make up the perfume, and can range from plant and flower extracts to synthetically-created molecules. New technology can recreate the essence of almost any scent on earth, with recent examples including candy floss, sea salt and caramel.
 

What do the 'Top', 'Heart' and 'Base' categories mean?

 
Top Notes: Top notes are evident as soon as the liquid touches your skin. These are usually lighter than the other ingredients, and function by shaping the primary fragrance burst.
 
 
Heart or Middle Notes: Shortly after application, the top notes give way to the heart notes. These are usually floral, as most fruity notes are too light for this layer. These middle notes make up the core perfume as it sits on the skin, and it is these layers that define the ultimate dry down, when the perfume settles on to the skin.
 
 
Base notes: The base notes determine how long a fragrance will last, and provide a background on which the heart notes can be appreciated. Interestingly, most fragrances have similar base notes, often including sandalwood, amber, musk and vanilla. This is because there are only a certain number of notes that will last long enough on the skin to form the base of a fragrance.
 
 


My thought

LOVE ETC was the love at first smell :) actually i went to TBS outlet to purchase the LOVE ETC solid perfume as i read some great reviews about the perfume and at that time i wanted to have something to carry in my handbag instead of bodysprays.i never tried solid perfumes so i wanted to try that one but when i went there the salesgirl told me about the liquid LOVE ETC perfumes and insisted on trying their liquid range and i did :) The moment i smelled the perfume i knew i had to buy this sooner or later. at that time i was confused wether to buy the liquid perfume rightaway or should buy the solid one, then salesgirl told me that the solid one last for only 2 to 3 hours but the liquid one lasts longer and also the smell of the liquid was way much better than the solid one.she showed me the cute little purse spary of LOVE ETC in 10ml which was cute enough to convince me into buying.i was in love with it and i knew this little bottle will last me for only one month and i had to have the bigger one so after some time also purchased the bigger one in 100ml
 
i always find strong smells very offending so i prefer sweet ,floral and fruity smells. this smell is  very refreshing, sweet, inoffensive, romantic and yummylicious its not too strong and not too light and kind of every day scent.its a perfect combination of floral and fruity, i mostly smell vanilla and jasmine in it.i have only one issue with the smell which is same for all the body shop perfume is that their smell does not last as long as the other high end perfumes ,they only last for 5 to 6 hours but still i like these perfumes.
 
the purse spary comes in a cute little glass bottle with golden cap and contains 10ml of the product the packaging is cute and colorfull. the price is same as the solid one but smell and staying power is much better.the perfume comes in different sizes 10ml, 30ml, 100ml.the 100ml comes in a big fat glass bottle with a simple packaging.
the love etc range also have Eau de toillete, body butters. shower gels and body lotions.
 
 

Pros:

  • combination of floral and fruity
  • sweet and simple everyday smell
  • travel freindly
 

Cons:

  • doesn't lasts as long as other high end perfumes
 
 
 
 
i will rate this perfume  4.8/5
 
 

Price         1100 PKR (10ml), 5500 PKR (100ml)

 
 must try :) u will love it
