As per reviews, I was hoping for banana to shine through… not a non-descript fruit salad.
Nice, but too fruity sharp for my liking.
The opening kinda reminds me of ylang buyoancy (banana rendition?), with that almost-there-but-not-quite yellow floral sweetness.
So potent I need to water it down with a few spritzes of coconut.

Should be renamed “Potpourri”

I have had TBS Dewberry on my mind lately and the eBay search provided enough bottles with a hefty price tag. I couldn’t see spending $70-200 on a 1OZ bottle of oil so I opted to try this first at $3 on Amazon. Im sure if I had a time machine and went back to 1992 to compare this to my beloved Dewberry, I may pick up on the differences, however without that little bottle of oil side by side, I can smell no difference. This immediately transported me back to Kim’s driveway, picking her up to head out to Caffeine or the Limelight, or wherever the Rave was that night. This is such a great memory jogger, even if it isn’t for everyday for me, the nostalgia is worth the wear. Fruit has given me back some great memories that have been long gone.

Oh yes 100% agree this is Dewberry. Of course Fruit may have been around longer but the Body shop introduced me to this fruity tropical cheerful and comforting perfume. I love it!!
Goodness me – I could do a box of these. Get it if you love well blended fruity scents. The sharp tart fruits stop this being too cloying and unbearable. But less is more as its a powerhouse.

Easily the best $6.00 you can spend on eBay.
Agreed with Gigi the Fashionista, that this is a 100% Cassis scent.
I’ve encountered several incarnations of this beauty:
‘Chinaberry'(1993, small perfume oil shop in Cambridge, MA)
‘Cassis’
‘Dewberry’ (Body Shop)
‘Uplift’ (Peacock Parfumerie)
It makes you want to jump for joy.

All I get is pineapple and musk. Not really that fruity. Longevity is brilliant, given that I could not wash it off as easy as I would have wanted.

TBS Dewberry dupe. If I want to go back to Jr. High, all I need is a whiff of this!

I’ve been wearing ‘Fruit’ for a few years now, every now and again. I didn’t think this could possibly mimic any western scent in existence until I came across a vintage bottle of Liz Claiborne (in the yellow, red, and blue triangle bottles). After the top-notes of LC faded a bit, I was astounded: here was ‘Fruit’, by golly! A dry, spicy-fruity chypre that calls to mind those deep magenta, fruity potpourris that everyone seemed to have sitting in a bowl in their living-rooms in the ’80’s.

So happy I decided to try out a few of the Al Rehab oils! This one is no exception! Fruit undeniably starts off with a bit of a synthetic edge that I admit was initially off putting. I am forgiving of this, because I believe this “chemical” may be necessary for it to be the amazing powerhouse it is! It does not take very long before the magic begins though, and Fruit unfolds into a most delightful and unusual scent experience. This oil is quite strong and the impression is of somewhat spiced cooked fruits initially with a faint mull wine accord, and then it morphs into this mixture of rich, ripe fruits that give off a fabulous natural sugar note. This is great stuff!

I agree with the review below. I loved dewberry do I love this!
wishgy – :
This is very much like TBS Dewberry, I would say 85-90% like it. I was pleased when I found this in my stash as I gave my TBS Dewberry perfume oil away long ago. If you love (and miss) Dewberry this is worth a try.
I don’t associate this fragrance with teenagers, I associate it with the 80s and 90s at a time when the world seemed a lot less complicated. Like the original this packs a powerful punch if used too liberally – I recall newspaper stories of Dewberry stinking out offices and workers being disciplined for doing so.
Sadly, off topic, I agree with people who say that The Body Shop has lost its way. This is often the case with organisations whose founders die or quit the day to day running. I hope it finds its mojo again soon, hopefully when it is sold.

Sweet, bright, and uncomplicated. Teenage me would have loved this one, but this isn’t quite what I’m looking for these days. If someone walked into work wearing this one, I might give them the side-eye. This smells like a middle school locker room after all the girls have given themselves cheap body spray baths from bottles containing pink liquid. It doesn’t smell BAD, just a little too young for me.

This is very sweet if worn on its own, but I layer it with other perfumes and then it comes into it’s own. Layered with just about any perfume, Fruit makes that perfume a perfect summer scent. I have layered it also with other Arabian Oils, and they also have been successful, so for those of you that thinks it’s too sweet, before throwing it or giving it away, try layering with something else, you might be pleasantly surprised, I know I was.

Fragrance Review For Fruit By Al-Rehab
Notes: Pineapple, kiwi, grapes, banana, green apple, mandarin orange, grapefruit musk
I never imagined an Arabic perfume could contain so much fruit. This is by far the fruitiest fragrance not only of the Al-Rehabs which are namely incenses, ouds, rose, patchoulis ambers and sandalwoods, but fruiter than even most of today’s fruity florals. This is a cornucopia of delicious fruit. Usually some fruit fragrances contain abstract bunched-up together synthetic fruit scents listed as Fruity Notes but each fruit scent here, though chemically recreated to resemble fruit, is very detectable and can be enjoyed as the fragrance wears for a long time (over 5 hours). Pineapple and mandarin came at me first, very sweet and citrusy. The grapes came next, but it’s clearly a cassia/cassis scent. This is my favorite fruit note however so it was a pleasure to pick up on the scent. A green apple is also clearly present and it’s well paired with the citrus. Grapefruit stands out and the kiwi is also there. The banana note is accurate and because it’s rare to find banana notes in fragrances I treasure it. The dry down is pure musk, which brings this fragrance back into the Al-Rehab realm. It’s musky and spiced up. I think that this fragrance is perfect to wear in the summer whether you’re male or female. The fruited scents to me are not at all feminine but simply fruit scents. The musk gives it a masculine touch. It’s totally unisex. If you’re a guy who wears fruit notes in your colognes even if it’s just citrus this has enough citrus as well. It’s really very nice. Highly recommended and the price is very affordable.

The scent is so sweet I find it incredibly cloying, gave it away. Just sweet sweet sweet.
рудый – :
This is a bomb! I put one swipe down my arm and it’s crazy big. It’s a fruit and musk bomb. Mostly peaches even though they are not on the notes here. Just be careful to apply conservatively. Very simple and I’m sure I’ll appreciate it quite a bit when summer rolls around again.

For me, it’s an explosion of fruit salad that is heavy on the banana. Although it is labeled for women, it could easily be unisex. Well worth the price, even if only for occasional use.
gkm1994 – :
Fruit is simply an explosion of sweet nectarines, with a bit of white grape for astringency, and a more concentrated version of the pink berry (circumstantially “black currant”) from Al Rehab’s own Silver scent. I suppose there could be a hint of synthetic kiwi in there, too. But mainly it’s this huge, super-sweet peach note, and to be honest it smells very much like the real deal. Al Rehab has this odd way of taking simple notes and giving them “lift” in much the same way Creed does with its perfumes. Like novembertrees says, Fruit is basically fruit salad in perfume form, but it has the Al Rehab lift to it. Its white musky drydown is only a little sour but altogether well done. For $3, you can’t go wrong here. I actually find girly-girls who wear pink shirts and sweet fruit perfumes really sexy.

I smell fruit salad with a definite musky drydown. Good staying power, not a ton of sillage. I like this.

Reminded me of a cheaper version of TBS Dewberry.
