Full Orange Blossom

Hold on to your pantaloons, this is a thorough review. Straight off, I love it. I love *many* neroli/orange blossom frags, but some are just terrible. Also, I normally dislike body shop products, their scents are very commercial, some bordering on B&BW cheapness or worse. Now, is this a groundbreaking frag? Heavens no. But this is one they got just right. It's commercial, not niche per se.... Perfectly unisex. It carries the same effortless attractiveness that Neroli Woods has, they are close cousins, if not siblings. Neroli woods is a touch more bitter, and surprisingly not as lasting as the Body Shop's Full Orange Blossom. This is a great midday refresher, a blind reach in a rush, perfect for keeping in your gym bag, office and date night appropriate. It has that cool linen, clean laundry, and beachy vibes. It has a real solar quality that Neroli Woods does not. And rather than shower gel, marine/mediterranean, citrus punch, or old fashioned barber soap, this one is a sexy linen shirt + hot skin in the sun + sun tan lotion + gin Collins. I hope the.body shop hangs on to this. I don't get a strong vetiver vibe like I do with Ferrari Bright Neroli (which is also a touch more green and cosmetic smelling - though it's still delightful) and the bergamot is much more gentle. The breakdown: Initial spray: Balanced and bright floral/citrus, sweet but not cloying, a cool breeze billowing up, and rounded off by the heady indolic sexy vibe that blends beautifully with sweat and heat. 15 mins in: The bergamot is there with the white flowers, crisp and casual. A little sweet and wonderfully fresh, but rounded. Easygoing, noticeable within arms length or from the sun chair one over from you. It's fleeting, airy. 1 hour in: Clean clean clean, with a bit of warm sweat, and a quick change into a fresh shirt. 3 hours in: just a bit more than a skin scent, but still bright and mild on clothes. Still catches into the air, turns heads, generates compliments. It's a bit indescript now, not exactly flowers, or citrus, or musk, or vetiver... its a very natural "sexy person" scent, like they just naturally smell this way. 6 hours in: Barely a skin scent, but still clings to the clothing. It's intimate, and detectable only if you let someone get close enough - within a foot or two of you. It's good stuff. It's going to be my post-gym grab. Worth the price. Fearless, confident, fun, sexy.

Beautiful, fresh, rich orange blossoms! This is a gorgeous fragrance for anyone who likes the fresh, sweet, vibrant scent of orange blossom. It's lovely for spring of course, but it's equally good worn in winter, as it doesn't have any sharp, zesty, citrus notes. This is unusually long lasting and stays true on the skin, the notes don't change with prolonged skin contact. Lovely when sprayed on clothes too. This orange blossom scent is great in that it's not too sweet, some orange blossom scents can be cloyingly sweet and some can be too citrusy, but this one has excellent balance. A lovely, new, high quality offering from The Body Shop.

It really got the same babydoll/gummy bear smell as in Sundazed by Byredo! May be a dupe? But also, because of the woodsy notes, it’s a little like Bal d’ afrique. Definitely unisex. On me it even smells more masculine even though I’m a woman. It’s a warm summer scent that smells even better if you are a little warm or even sweaty I’m imagining?! It’s sweet, but not too sweet, orangey/citrusy and yet woody. The citrus is very strong but not chemical, more orange peel or the small lima you got in South America?! It’s addictive! The longevity is on my skin really good and lasts several hours.

As an orange blossom and neroli enthusiast, I really love this fragrance! Neroli is definitely at the forefront, which gives it a more natural touch, and the vetiver adds a grounding element. I love wearing Full Orange Blossom in summer because of its refreshing qualities. A big plus is also that it smells quite natural, while also lasting easily a whole day on my clothes, which is not always a given with citrus-centric scents. I feel that this deserves more popularity.

I came to BS to buy shower gel and ended up with a bottle of this. I enjoy it very much after training and hot shower. Smell very like very natural orange flower with bitter orange zest. It’s uncommon that citrus doesn’t smell like washing products. In this case it doesn’t. Can be layered with vanilla or wood based perfumes. Silage is medium but with this cost I can spray it twice. Update: obsessed with this natural scent. I even added it to my room vanilla scent.

Omgggg I love it!! Very initial spray is sharp but within minutes it’s heavenly. It makes me want to take deep breaths while wearing it, so I can smell it - it’s so relaxing! It’s a natural citrus/creamy/soft-spicy scent that is fresh, clean, warm laundry vibe. Last very long on clothes. Good Silage. Completely non- offensive. Could wear all year!

Fantastic fragrance! Im a huge orange blossom fan and they got this one right.

Fantastic scent but it has extremely poor longevity! I'm a huge fan of orange blossom, so I just had to try this perfume. I was hoping that this would be an interesting perfume with good longevity, but finding this in the Body Shop would be a miracle. Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen. The scent was lovely and interesting but only lasted for 10 minutes and then became a close-to-skin smell that is really faint. While this is a good green, fresh, and well-blended scent, its longevity is non-existent, so buying a medium-sized bottle for £42 seems like a silly investment. May get one at 50% off, but will pass it at the full price. I found the reviews below quite accurate in terms of notes, I definitely detected cardamom, neroli, and something green in this fragrance. It reminded me of Mugler Cologne (the orange one) and Hermes citrus scents like Un Jardin à Cythère. Investing in a Hermes bottle makes more sense because it lasts longer.

I am a big fan of citrusy perfumes in summer, and I find this bottle pleasant and lovely. Straight to my conclusion: I like it, it's a nice summer fragrance, but if you are expecting any "wow"-factor, then it will disappoint you. After the a few initial sprays, I immediately get the bitter woody neroli. It's fresh, clean and soapy, reminding me of the cleaning laundry hanging under the sun. The neroli here is so dominant that I hardly get any other notes. Then there is a hint of sweetness kicking in, like fresh juicy citrus. However, so far neroli has still been under the spot light. I hardly smell any vetiver. Considering the longetivity and sillage, I would use it as a gym perfume, or something that I would use in the office in the afternoon to brighten up the mood, as it is a quite uplifting smell.

I am an orange blossom enthusiast! Just getting that out there! And...I think TBS have done a good job here! An instantly likeable scent that stayed with me for hours. I didnt feel the need to respray although the sillage is intimate!! Is it my favourite orangey scent...no. Will I have fun wearing it....yes! Now for dewberry to make its come back!!!

I just love Neroli and kinda-unisex-leaning-to-feminine fragrances and this one does the trick. the orange blossom gives it a little sweetness, the bergamot a citrusy undertone (but not too noticeable) and the Neroli a herbal, sofisticated, fresh-but-not-cleaning-product touch.

this starts with a bitter, woody neroli. i get the other notes along with a bit of soapiness. the bitterness softens fairly quickly and the perfume gets a bit warmer. a really nice solid orange blossom for spring/summer.

My favorite of the line - refreshing, simple. However given the longevity and the projection equivalent to that of a body spray, I won't pick it up.

Hinestly, i've had two bottles of it. Mainly because Body shop were my first venture into parfumes, and it served as a replacement for my favourite discontinued scent. But upon reflection, and as i gott deeper into this hobby, it kinda sucks. At least personally. Id spray a bunch on myself and my clothes and it felt like it didn't even last 10 minutes. I'd annoyingly ask friends to check me whenever i would meet them and it was a consistent "nothing", and theyd even go directly to my skin. So no silage and no longevity, which is a shame because i really think orange scents are great for spring/summer

There is something very sickly in this one for my nose, and I’m not sure what it is. I guess it’s the neroli? Because I’ve got so many scents with orange blossom that it makes no sense 😳 I will have to give it away, every time I try to wear it I’m getting a sickly, almost nauseous feeling...

Twenty years ago, I fell completely in love with a now-discontinued fragrance from The Body Shop: Neroli Jasmin. As a medical aesthetician, finding a scent that works in a professional spa environment is a massive challenge. Neroli Jasmin was my absolute holy grail. It was light, clean, and incredibly pretty—subtle enough to be completely safe to wear around clients, while beautifully complementing the calming, serene energy of the spa. Ever since it was discontinued, I’ve been on the hunt for something that could fill that specific void. I wanted a professional, workplace-safe scent that still felt like me. Enter Full Orange Blossom. While it isn't an exact carbon copy of Neroli Jasmin, it is exactly what I was looking for. It captures that same bright, clean, comforting citrus-floral essence, but with a more sophisticated, grown-up vibe, thanks to the grounding vetiver. It’s elegant, fresh, and perfectly suited for a professional clinical setting where you want to smell lovely without overpowering the room.

I have The Body Shop Indian Night Jasmine, which features a very prominent orange blossom note, paired with sweet jasmine. I was curious to see (i.e. sniff) whether Full Orange Blossom bears any similarity to Indian Night Jasmine, and the answer is - no, not at all. Full Orange Blossom is entirely unisex, leaning masculine, because orange blossom is paired with bitter neroli, bergamot and vetiver, creating a fresh, sharp, barbershop-like scent. The obvious blueprint for this category is TF Neroli Portofino, so if you are enthusiastic about that type of fragrance, but don't wanna splurge $$$ on TF's crazily overpriced juices, then the noses at The Body Shop have answered your prayers! I'm not a fan of neroli, so I won't be buying this for myself, but I'm happy to recommend it to those who enjoy sharp citruses. Projection and longevity are okay, I get 4-5 hours on my skin and even longer on clothes.

Went to the store, sprayed this on a strip. Didn't like it at first. Then a day after I took out the strip from my bag, why is it the best thing I have ever smelled? It's like my nostrils being caressed with TLC lol. It stayed on my mind for months but I couldn't get it yet because it was too expensive. Now I finally got a bottle and I LOVE IT. It dries down into a subtle, sweet orangey scent. Sweet herbaly orange fresh green tree bark (?) Unfortunately it is so close to skin. Max projection lasted 3 hours. Pleaseee do not discontinue. (Atleast till I can afford bottles of these..)

I will not say a lot, as you can read details from the other frangrantica members and I agree with the positive reviews of this gem... I first wore it last night and this morning I still smell myself a heavenly divine smell I cannot describe! On my skin lasts for hours and I love it! I also got a compliment from my friend yesterday that a divine smells is around us !

Eewww smells like cheap rose water we use here in the middle east for cooking absolutely not for me this scent belongs to old lady’s and whoever wants to smell like a reeaalllyy cheap off-putting rotten rose 2/10

This is a very linear neroli forward fragrance. It’s soapy and bitter (just like neroli and orange blossom). These are one of my least favourite notes, so it’s not for me. But if you love a simple neroli scent..

to me, this smells very strongly of orange peel and I love it! it has a strong citrus and zesty smell in the opening, but i am yet to purchase a bottle and test the longevity.

I love this, true Orange blossom, just what I was looking for. Only con is it should last a bit longer. I hope they don’t discontinue this.

A very natural orange blossom, not too sweet, not too synthetic, fantastic.
