Description
Inspired by the world as a source of beauty, The Body Shop has launched a captivating collection of immersive eau de parfum inspired by some of the planet’s most precious natural scents. Fragrances are created using non destructive “Headspace technology”. There are five fragrances in ELIXIRS OF NATURE collection launched in 2016: Bowhanti, Nigritella, Kahaia, Swietenia and Widdringtonia.
The subtle floralcy of Mahogany flower combined with a sparkling breeze of orange flower and bigarade leaf result in a delicate freshness. This fragrance instantly transports you to the humid planes of Bangalore, South India, as its scent keeps you vibrant and crisp on a balmy evening.

Too sweet for me. It smells of orange blossom but with all of the freshness removed and what remains turned into a sno-cone syrup. I’m glad I didn’t pay full price and I’ll be giving it to my 12 year old daughter. This is nothing like Lutens Fd’O to my nose.

Orange blossom, honey and that specific Body Shop vanilla base. Very pretty and feminine, this is a fragrance I think I will be reaching for a lot during our triple digit summers. It is sultry and lush, but not heavy or overpowering. Really pleasant, a beautiful scent. I wish it lasted longer, don’t know if it is my scent-eating skin or the fragrance itself but longevity is pretty poor. It turns into that “Body Shop proprietary” sweet vanilla/white floral scent fairly quickly on me. Not bad, but I definitely like the opening better! Not a bad blind buy, and for the price I paid (TJ Maxx find) I am thrilled with it..!

Greenish orange blossom + warm woody honey, smells fresh and rather expensive. But the sillage is moderate to low on my skin
wizard – :
I don’t detect any citrus. The warm floral top notes dry down to honey and vanilla.
Fig500 – :
I would say Swietenia is a fragrance that it would be hard to be offended by! There is no sharp opening for me. The citrus is there but just dries down to a lovely honey/vanilla skin scent which I find both comforting and uplifting. Lovely!

They say it’s unisex but it must be a very ‘sweet boy’ to wear this 🙂
Very feminine soft warm scent, medium longevity and sits close to the skin.
Indeed similar to Elie Saab but lighter and more uplifting.
I love The Body Shop. For me, they can do no wrong

My local TBS does not have this collection yet. However, they did have a sample of this.
I like it very much. I don’t find it sweet at all. Just a very intense, green orange blossom. Very well done.
Deroxgyoge – :
I get a highly sweetened orange blossom, nothing else. Like in Elie saab, but to my nose more simple. It is too sugary on me.

Recently I have been obsessing about orange blossom in any form. This is a very nice spring or summer scent, holidays in a bottle, also probably the sweetest I own. Although usually I stay miles away from vanilla, this I am able to tolerate.
Edit: I found out that I am NOT able to tolerate the vanilla in the end. On me it just turns very cheap, cloying, sweet and uninteresting. What a shame.
I ended up giving it to a friend and it smells divine on her, I’m glad it was not a total waste.

This reminds me of Serge Lutens Fleur d’Oranger, went to TBS for a sight shopping and saw the new elixirs of nature collections. This immediately came up to my brain as Serge Lutens because the major domination of the orange flower but with trails of woody notes and vanilla on the dry down, while Fd’O is just purely blooming orange flower. This guy can last up to 6 hours wear on skin.
I don’t really think this is similar to any TBS jasmine/neroli based, this Swietenia is so much better. If you like SL Fd’O but you don’t want to spend so much money this is one of the alternative dupe. But if TBS in your country sells this for $50, I recommend you to buy the SL because 2 bottles of this cost the same with one bottle of SL with less longevity.

This is a nice scent, I am pleased with the new line of The Body Shop fragrances.
A creamy and sweet floral scent.
I can sense orange flower, citruses and vanilla note in it.
It is very familiar smelling indeed, similar to many other orange flower scents, for example crisp Jean-Paul Gaultier Classique scents.
I like it!
Intuignunorie – :
Orange flower power. Smooth and familiar. But.
What does this smell like???
What is this?
Yes, I like it, but it is like a song you know, a tune that plays in your mind but you cannot recall who is singing it. Is it Poeme? NO. OMG. It is the orange flowers’ accord from Jean Paul Gaultier classic! Aahaha, well played Body Shop.

Arka fonda portakal çiçeği ile odunsu bir sahne ve hemen onların önünde biraz şekerli havası olan bir turunç. Kokunun genel yapısı bu. Kalıcılığı bu serinin diğer parfümleri ne kıyasla oldukça iyi. Koku dağılımı makul. Koku ilk 1 saat için unisex sonrasında ise feminen bir hava alıyor. Sanki tüm koku arkasına yoğun bir amber desteği alarak gelişiyor. Yaz aylarında açık havalarda, kışın ise akşam saatlerinde keyifli olabilir. Bence 35 üstü bayanlar için haftasonu kullanıma uygun olacaktır.
