I love clementines. In the winter, they are the best antidote to depression -- cold, juicy, slightly tangy, mostly sweet. My family buys them by the box (usually two wooden ones at a time) the contents of which disappear very quickly. Whenever I peel one, little droplets of clementine essence spray out and disappear into my sweater, lingering there for the rest of the day and giving me a little lift. The Body Shop Satsuma has exactly the same effect. While I love my musky signature Narciso, I've taken to wearing Satsuma a lot lately because the weather up here has been depressing (grey, windy, snowless) and so is the fact that I'm back in school. The Body Shop's version has that same clementine essence from a freshly-peeled citrus fruit, with an additional little bit of candy, instantly making me feel fresh, happy, awake, and alive. Interestingly enough, Satsuma first caught my attention on a guy's bathroom shelf (at an apartment I AirBnb'd at while backpacking in Europe), which means it can be worn by both sexes -- or really anyone who needs some cheering up. Perfect for the cold winter months. Enjoy!

εïз ❥ This lovely scent got my attention from the Satsuma body butter it was inspired by. I absolutely love this delicious tangerine/clementine concoction . My love for this simple yet delicious scent stems from cases of sweet candy clementines when a great batch pops up at the market. It is also one of my most favorite fruits. I am also obsessed with this scent, and all the products from this fragrance line. This is my favorite to wear in the summer , as it lingers well with the heat. I also like layering this with both the shower gel & body lotion ,for a nice base in summer. On its own it can be a bit weak in longevity ,depending on the person’s body chemistry. I find longevity is great when applied over the lotion and after using the shower gel. If you like fruity scents that smell delicious then give this a try. The sillage on this fragrance is strong. This will always have a place in my collection. εïз ❥

Who else went into The Body Shop in your mall twentysomething years ago (this is far older than 2012--- at least the bath products are) and sniffed around, where you eventually landed on Satsuma and exclaimed, "Wah wah WEE wah, that's tangerine times 1,000!"? That's Satsuma. On my skin, Satsuma perfume lasts about 3 hours. In hair, on clothes, or on a suede purse it's more like 8+. It's juicy, electric, edible, a definite soli-fruit, and fun. It's sweet but great for layering under a hespirides or even over a musky floral like Narciso Rodriguez. It's fairly true that I own Satsuma in some incarnation at all times. It fizzes and lifts the soul.

One of my all-time favorites. This smells just like oranges. It almost reminds me of a very toned down and simplified version of Clinque Happy. The word "groovy" comes to mind for describing this scent because I associtate citrus scents like this with the 70s. Sunny, tangy, fresh, smells like something Marcia Brady would wear. This is a great unisex scent because it's such an unoffensive fragrance it can be enjoyed by anybody. Like most of The Body Shop sprays it's also a good starter scent for kids because it's subtle enough that they can spray a lot of it without nauseating everyone around them.
