Dewberry Perfume Oil

2026 formulation: Still a happy gem. Close to the original. Lushly fruity like if passionfruit had a berry cousin. Softer, gentler and fresher than the vintage. (Not a Beast Mode!) Fades within 30 min to a skin scent. I highly suggest layering it with one of their Dewberry Balm/Butter/Yogurt. More Raspberry, Rosehip and Blackberry are present in this one. Slightly greener top notes than the prior formulations. Eucalyptus hints. Light fresh lemon side note instead of grapefruit. Lily, Freesia, Jasmine come through more in the topnotes. I think it's lovely. It is missing the cocoa butter/vanilla, deeper aspects to the cassis and the more syrupy overripe, almost tropical grapefruit citrus, fruity, peachy accords, but I can live with that. We live in the time of scent-free-offices. The Fragrance Mist is much greener in topnotes, and has a herbal profile unless you use several spritzes to reach an unfolding berry note. The Hand Balm is purer in its Berry accords, but posesses a tomato leaf accord. It layers well with the Perfume Oil.

I made my final bottle last as long as I could up until a couple of years ago. Why oh why does any scent I love get canned? What was not to like about Dewberry: a teenager could buy it with their pocket money, you could refill your bottle and the oil's scent lasted forever on your pulse points. Those rose and grapefruit layers with the berry top note really did it for me. I was a mid-90s teen and Dewberry was totally My Thing in school and college :))) I can't understand why the Body Shop won't sell it on a regular basis like White Musk. There are a lot of us Dewberry ride-or-die fans out there.

Can’t believe it’s back when got email last week, ordered yesterday morning patiently waiting on delivery. Had so many bottles of this late 89, early 90,s checked this forum so many times bought the jubilee scents version which is really close as i remember. Only a matter of days to see, which they would bring back oceanus as it was lovely too and bit like my original favourite New West by Aramis all we need is this brought back and I’d stop searching 🤞

Omg, sooo nostalgic! If I smelled this right now, I would just dissolve into a sugary puddle of pure nostalgia for 1994. I was 13 and completely in love with a guy called Dean, two years my senior, barely knew I existed, haha! It would for sure remind me of him and walking back from school with my pal Sam on hot summer afternoons. It was actually a pretty divine scent.

Used it a lot when it existed a spray edt, then the shop moved, I moved, and we parted way. Got a lot of compliments when I was wearing it, from very unexpected people, may be because it was smelling so edible ;-) I have an old bottle at my mum's place, that did not move with me, and sometime still use it, just for old times sake. And still like it.

I used to move dewberry in my early youth.. so fresh, berry/ fruity and cosy at the same time. 80` s bodyshop really intriguiged me. I was addicted for sure. Now I use pink molecule from Zarko Perfumes as a beautiful replacemant. Dewberry I love all the memories I recall when I think of you. A nostalgic love from me to you

I used this as a home fragrance. I'd put droplets all around the house and just loved the sweet scent wafting elegantly everywhere. I find it fresh, sweet, clean and classic. I've never used it on myself though. I'm not into sweeter scents on my skin but who knows? I might just give it a try!

lets face it! this is a powerful gem that demands a comeback! I want it back! As a collector in my mid 40s I dont need to go over the olfactory memories that this juice summons. Please if you want it back send bodyshop a email...I have started a campian!

Oh wow, Dewberry, what a memory from my high school days... So sweet, young, fruity, though very different than other fruity fragrances. Now I can ́t find it anywhere! But if I did find it, I guess I wouldn ́t love/wear it as much as I used to...

On the initial spray you get that fun loving aroma us teenagers back in the 90s are all too familiar with. I wish the blackcurrant was a middle note and would last longer on the dry down.

I'm not too sophisticated to say I loved it all those years ago and would probably still proudly wear it should the Body Shop ever bring it back!

The shower gel and perfume oil are still good. Really nostalgic scent, my favorite from the 90ties.

EVERY young woman had this oil back in the 1990s. I still remember it's sweet "floralness".

a classic nostalgic scent- men seem to just love it.

Addictive. Sweet, cozy. Like a time capsule of 1998.

THE BODY SHOP PERFUME OIL BAR - WHY , OH WHY DID THEY DO AWAY WITH IT !! Quoting "elderflowers" - " Dewberry is still bottled teenage kicks for me. Now that it looks like being canned permanently, I'm getting a niggling desire to own a final few ml of the stuff – just in case I ever need to trigger a few memory episodes for my own Proustian life-history." I quite agree! Like most of us on this page , i wore this oil circa 1987 - 1992. I recall great excitement when TBS first opened up , the "perfume oil bar" was testing heaven for all us youngsters..... Saturday afternoons were akin to a rugby scrum as we all clamoured to get to that glittering glass and chrome shrine of scent !Dewberry oil is my youth bottled The perfume oil bar was quite new and different at the time , and as us youngsters only choice up until then were the "grown up" parfum counters , usually ran by strict older females who DID NOT tolerate groups of teen girls spraying out there expensive tester perfumes, (and who can blame them! , we could never of afforded the goods , and were just after getting a free dousing of perfume!) In contrast the Body Shop not only tolerated , but they actively encouraged testing , and mixing of oils to make your own " special scents" - , HOORAY ! GREAT FUN !! I think the BS had thus cornered the "teen" market of the mid 80s- early 90s , which was'nt really catered for much back then in the UK. Unlike the USA which has seems to have been always had a vast range of scents for all ages and pockets , we didnt have much to choose from ..........There was the "high end parfum" counters in department stores , and then cheap Impulse body sprays and £1 market stall fake Dior Poison's to be had , and that was it , NO "teen" or "celeb" frags to be had ...........So , hats of to the BS , they catered for us teens very well. I speak of all this in the past tense as I actually do miss the "perfume oil bar" concept. Sat here typing and reminising , i can almost smell the "dewberry" , "sandalwood" , "tea rose" , "patchouli" ( popular with young lads of a rocker or goth persuasion) , and of course the ever popular "white musk" TBS was also of decent quality and affordable. The scents were also innocent and age- appropriate for youngsters , nothing overtly sexy or skanky . My Mother approved of the BS Oils 100% .......unlike my Dior poison dupe/copy which she said was "too old" for me - of course she didnt mean old in that its a "granny scent" , but "old" as in its too suggestive , sexual and a man eater fragrance for a 13 yr old girl to wear. To try bribe me to bin the poison dupe , my Mother bought me a few different BS gift sets one Christmas. DEWBERRY was my favorite. I recall it was a quite a "cold" feeling fruity oil , and therefore it was good to wear in the snowy months. Does anyone remember an oil called "Winter Dew" ....I recall having that as a gift set too. I think you got an oil , a deo spray ( which was strong enough as a perfume in its own right!) and a body lotion. Id love to get my hands on that again . Its too far back to remember the notes , what i DO remember is that it was a gorgeous winter spicy berry/woody combo and i was quite in love with it. All the other girls wore "dewberry" , "vanilla" or "white musk" , so i liked the fact i had my own semi-unique scent too. My mind is made up , i MUST track down bottles , or samples of these scents of my youth. Im pretty sure one little sniff will transport me back to the carefree days of my teens ......... I must confess i havent set foot inside a BS for years , I lost interest when they removed the perfume bar. From doing a quick google , it seems I am not alone. many perfume bloggers have lamented the loss too. These days i prefer LUSH for my natural soaps ect , but you can bet id be RACING down to the BS if they were to ever reinstate there "Perfume Bar" . They would surely regain plenty of "lost" customers such as myself , and I think the teens of today would appreciate those fantastic oils which have been a BIG part of us "Oldies" youth. Happy Sniffing ! And if anyone had any old BS oils they want to sell or swap , you know where to come!

Gosh, I can vividly remember how practically every girl in my school smelt of either White Musk, Vanilla or Dewberry back in the (good ol') days. TBS really rocked in the fragrance department, definitely! And of course I was one of them since I absolutely loved and adored Dewberry. It was sparkling, fresh, fruity, youthful and happy all at the same time, making me feel uplifted during the long hours of school days. I'd love to test it again out of sheer curiosity but not sure if I would like the new version as much as I did feel about the original. It'd be a fun trip down the memory lane anyway, all the way back to my teen years. I guess it would be like meeting a long-lost but once close relative after spending many years apart.

I was pretty excited to test this out at a local Body Shop store. I just applied a dab on my wrist. It opened up with bright refreshing zingy dewy fresh vegetal berry notes, as if you are crushing the berry and leaves with your fingers, quite addictive, fun and nostalgic. I won’t call it juvenile but does remind me of my teenage self in 90’s. It is reasonably sweet but not overpowering. Then, about 15 mins later, it transitioned into musky woody base. Not bad at all for the price, it is one of those pick me up scents to pop into your bag, just to get refreshed after a gym session.

I wore this a lot in my 20s and have not seen or smelt it in years. However, I can vividly remember it and I liked it very much. I thought the main note was blackberry at the time, but am not surprised to learn it was blackcurrant, as I liked another perfume at the same time that definitely contained blackcurrant (I'm almost sure it was by Mary Quant, but have been unable to find out what it was called). I remember Dewberry as having reasonable staying power but not being overpowering (at least not on me - but perfumes often don't seem to last long/smell very strong on me).

This perfume makes me feel nostalgic for my teenage years; it's still my 'method perfume' when I go to a 1990s theme party. Back then I had every Dewberry product – the perfume oil, the eau de toilette (which I still have), the soap, the moisturiser – and believed strongly in the 'layering' principles I read about in magazines. People must have smelled me coming from miles away! These days I find it way too sweet and fruity and it gives me a headache, but I'll always think fondly of it as my first signature scent.
