The Body Shop White Gardenia Body Mist Review

After a very long time I thought I should review a perfume or body mist. I picked this The Body Shop White Gardenia Body Mist which I got during a sale for $2 for 100ml!!!! I had no idea how this would smell when I ordered this online but the fragrance freak in me urged me to try this icon wink The Body Shop White Gardenia Body Mist Review I didn’t have any fragrance of this kind in my collection so thought of giving it a try and it didn’t disappoint me.

The scent belongs to the floral musky family and it is a delicate, soft and serene scent, infused with a sparkling blend of lotus flower, gardenia, bergamot and soft musk notes. I hate musky perfumes, especially floral musky ones but I really really like this body mist. Though is it musky, it is mild and hence not disturbing unlike other perfumes that are too strong and sometimes even causes headache. Even I started liking the musky and floral notes these days. icon smile The Body Shop White Gardenia Body Mist Review

When I sprayed it on my skin it feels fresh and at the same time mild. As it is mild this does not last for a long time and that did disappoint me a bit. So I am thinking of getting the body cream from this range and apply it over the sprayed area to lock the fragrance.

Pros

  • Nice smell icon smile The Body Shop White Gardenia Body Mist Review ) I am sure there wouldn’t be anyone who doesn’t like this.
  • Simple and neat packaging.
  • Easy to use spray bottle with lid intact.
  • Easily available in all The Body Shop stores.
  • Does not cause any irritation while sprayed directly on my skin.
  • The bottle is small and light weight, hence can be easily carried with us in the handbag.

Cons

  • The smell does not last long.
  • It is expensive for a small bottle during normal time and hence the best time to get it is sale..sale..sale..
  • This gets over very quickly as this is a small bottle and also it is mild so I keep spraying this again and again for at least thrice a day.
  • I think it is a limited edition body mist. I am not very sure though.

My Rating – :-* :-* :-* :-*

Would I Repurchase? – Yes. Also I would like to try other body sprays from The Body Shop. I have already tried Aqua Lily body spray from the same brand and both were really good. So definitely I will get this again until I get bored with it.

what i know is that a Body Mist is a lighter scent with more of water content. You need to spray it more and repeatedly throughout the day :P
Perfumes are stronger and have more alcohol content AND they are more expensive :P

I have never tried their body mists..have only one of their EDTs…a rose-smelling one..that stays on forever…guess body mists are not really longlasting kinds…
