Fijian Water Lotus

This has been the first TBS EDT I ever bought as a young adult. I sniffed everything from similar product ranges when I was in the store. I was drawn to this little baby blue gem. My sister found the scent heady, but I didn't and still don't. I also still don't know how to describe the scent. It's not like any other that I'm familiar with. Whenever I use this EDT, it settles nicely on my skin. Fresh top and middle notes that project very well for almost two hours mellow into soft sweetness that stayed close to my skin for almost eight hours. The scent grows sweeter (but not sickeningly so) when my body gets warm. I can detect whiffs of the scent throughout the day; I absolutely enjoy it. I think this EDT is good for all occasions - casual, work, formal. It all boils down to how well it reacts with one's body chemistry.

Such a beautiful fresh scent that got me realising aquatic scents can be really damn nice. This will only last an hour at best sadly but it's just so calming to smell. It makes me feel like I'm around some really elegant garden while swimming in a beautiful pond nearby in complete serenity. I like that it feels straight to the point with what it claims to be, and I do believe it holds up to that extremely well. Don't however expect much complexity from anything by the BS, because my overall experience with them in terms of fragrances has been basic. That's not a bad thing by any means, but I know everyone's got their own preferences for what they look for in a fragrance, and I'm sure some may want to experience more notes in their perfumes than what the BS can offer. Just beware of that :)

This is something I wouldn't have imagined to love the way that I do! Fijian water lotus is a perfectly balanced floral aquatic with hints of mandarin, apple, and a hearty dose of may chang (the herb of tranquility). I've seen the notes on this page change a lot and now I'm not entirely sure what is in fijian water lotus. For a long time green apple was listed. Anyway what you can expect is a citrusy, uplifting aquatic floral. I have the perfume oil and it lasts about 6 hours with moderate projection. An aquatic fragrance without any off puting calone notes or that does not smells overly synthetic is a rare find for me, and I must say I am a big fan of this!

I am not a fan of aquatic scents but I fell in love with this one instantly. It is in fact the first aquatic scent that I bought for myself. It turns into a floral, sort of citrusy scent as it dries in my skin and keeps me smelling fresh all day. Anybody who's seen me spritz this on immediately compliments me then asks what I'm wearing. Longevity is very poor though and I end up spraying it all over maybe thrice or four times during the day. It lasts 2 hours on me I would say. Lately I've been layering it with the British Rose scent as it draws to the end of my day and it turns into a pleasant, warmer scent. I still wish it'd last longer on my skin though.

I love to dabble in aquatic/blue fragrances and have at one time or another owned one. They are my go-to relaxing scents after a day on the beach or following a hot working day and a nice cool shower. TBS Fijian Water Lotus reminds me of Oceanus but they are not the same. FWL is less salty ocean and more sweet fresh water pond. It has a cool quality like that of an early morning walk through a tropical garden with a bubbling water fountain and dewy petals. It has decent longevity and although not the most exciting smell on the planet, I crave it often for the calmness it brings.

I have both the body mist and EDT and tend to use both together which gives better longevity. Love this for work and particularly for warm, rainy days in the summer (we get a lot of these in the UK!) It's not my usual kind of scent as aquatic fragrances aren't my bag but I really love this. I first sprayed it in store and kept sniffing my wrist all day. The opening can feel a bit harsh like air freshener but it quickly settles down into a lovely delicate summer floral on my skin. I'll definitely repurchase this as it has now become my summer go-to fragrance.

There literally is no difference between this and the fragranced body spray. The body spray is half the price and you get double the amount, which is amazing considering the body spray lasts a good while! I've been able to still smell it on my skin the day after using the body spray in the morning. This is lovely and fresh, not sweet at all and smells a bit manly, not my normal choice, but I still love it. Even if you prefer sweet smells, test this out, you may be surprised and like it like I do.

never really liked fresh scents that much. BUT THIS ONE?! i loved it and i found some similarities with the recent rituals scent “océan infini” and “fleurs de himalaya” ..let me know if someone tried it out. Wanna know if I’m the only one thinking this. Actually Jean Paul Gaultier La belle paradise gave me flashbacks to fijian water, so rn I’m very invested in finding a dupe.

Before it was discontinued, I've had like 3 bottles of this. Definitely one of the most memorable perfume I've had, the first perfume that made me want to know more about perfumery. I think it complimented my own scent very well, an ex and some of my friend said it's smells amazing on me. I missed it so much, please lmk if there's a dupe for this 😭

Simple, likeable, like a fresh summer breeze. I absolutely fell in love with this perfume when I first bought it. It is one of my favourites ever since. For everyday use. Very light, butterfly-like. Note. On my skin after a while smells like soap/air freshener. Poor/moderate longevity. I'm 21 years old. Love fresh and aquatic, tropical perfumes.

Adore this perfume! it is so fresh and crisp, I felt like I was on a tropical vacation the moment I tried this scent. I love the aquatic, lotus notes. Perfect for summer time.

Love this...opening a citrusy. After awhile middle and last notes reminds me of channel chance eau fraiche.. woody and smoky. Too bad no staying powers

So sad it's discontinued, was my favourite aquatic perfume considering I've never found an aquatic perfume I even like. Perfect scent for the summer!

The opening is a bit too sharp for me, but I just love the dry-down. It's a soft, sweet, non-soapy scent that I can smell on myself every few hours!

sooooo fresh and beautiful scent! right now my favourite auquatic! beautiful blue bottle too

Very nice without being overbearing!

I have the fragrance oil of this scent, it's a lovely, light, summery scent but not a timid one. With the sort of fragrance it has (light, aquatic, herbal, and slightly floral), the silage is not overbearing, but this is definitely a lasting scent that makes itself known. However, this may be due to the fact that I own the fragrance oil and not the EDT. I think it's beautiful, perfect for a bright summer day - perhaps off adventuring in some foreign country (for some reason this scent makes me think of Japan). It is floral, but not sweetly so, aquatic, but not in a marine way, and though the herbal-ness of it is not a flashy part of it, it's still far more present than most body shop fragrances. I really enjoy this, it seems to be much more complex than my other fragrances from the same house. Though, again, this could be due to the fact that this is my only oil, the others are body sprays or EDTs. 6/10

I owned this last year and was reminded of it when I found and purchased 3 gift sets from Marshall's for my BFFs as Christmas extras. Very aquatic and fresh, easily likable and completely inoffensive. I think it's somewhat similar to Aqua Di Gioia. The opening is a bit salty at first but it settles quickly. For an EDT, it lasts quite decent time with nice projection, I sprayed one on my sweater(shhh...don't tell), have since taken it off, and I can smell it every time I walk into my bedroom. I think it's a very appropriate gift scent, because while it might not be a favorite or standout, I think it's a very friendly scent. Plus, can't go wrong with The Body Shop.

This fragrance is quite unique. This smells like a skin scent; reminds me of walking by a tropical beach as the sun shines high above the sky. It’s surprising how they can pull off an aquatic summery scent without being fruity or too citrusy! The initial notes smells like bitter orange peels, the vibe that you get when sipping cocktails in a resort’s tiki bar. Afterwards, the sharpness of the orange is replaced by a combination of a salty scent that kinda smells like the skin during a hot sunny afternoon, and prominent watery light florals which lasts until it dries. This fragrance basically smells like crushed flowers diluted in water. It’s nice!

I got an edt bottle, and although I never expected to like this, I ended up loving it. It's definitely aquatic but on my skin it's so super soft and floral, feminine and lovely. Very inoffensive, it doesn't make you smell like you're wearing perfume but rather like YOU smell that good naturally, which I love. On me it isn't too sweet at all. It's crisp with a sweet citrus undertone. Refreshing and light and beautiful. Not the best longevity (around 5-6 hours on me on a good day), which would be the only con I can come up with. Definitely a spring and summer favorite.
