Shea

This is wonderful, so far my favorites from TBS's new range of EDT's is Shea and Moringa, the rest are abit 'meh' for me. Shea is nutty and creamy with a clean, woody undertone...fresh yet warm...a simple pleasure that's linear, light and comforting. It is semi-sweet and perfectly unisex, and was a favorite of a recent ex (on himself). I will still buy it and wear it for myself, I'm not the sort who ties fragrances to people. But having smelled it on him alot, I can say that it leaves very subtle trails of yummy clean, warm nuttiness for about 2 hours...it has a sheer, dreamy kind of sillage that could make you feel you're imagining it, and then assume that the wearer just smells naturally good. For that reason, I highly recommend it to those working in health and medical fields, men or women, it's inoffensive, mild and natural. I already have the shea body butter and I can't wait to get this so I can layer over it. Suitable all year round and mild enough for hot days too.

I've tried this twice now and both times have been surprised with how much I like it! Coming in a small one ounce bottle, simply called Shea, I nearly look past it the first time. I tried it in an airport and almost went back into the shop to buy it... I kept sniffing my hand. Soft, nutty, cozy. Even though it's a really affordable price I ended up getting the beautifying oil and shower cream instead. The oil I found to be wonderful, eminating the exactly same soft sent, but was disappointed at first sniff of the shower cream because it really didn't smell the same. Haven't tried that yet but look forward to doing that. Someday soon I'd love to pick up the EDT, which sits close to the skin and doesn't have the most pungent projection, but for 14 bucks, what can you expect? Try it and be wooed. EDIT: Call me crazy but the shower cream and oil simply do not smell the same as the EDT. They are much nuttier to me. Not as soft. Makes me sad I didn't choose the spray. :(

For a year now I've been craving a vanilla scent worthy at all for any price. Yesterday I tried this and thought, where have you been since Bath and Body Works Riceflower and Shea was discontinued? This soft aroma works for days and nights at work and home, and then layered over or under something stronger like a dab of my Samsara EDT from a vintage mini bottle, or even to soften my Todd Oldham when I go out on the town. So now, I want to buy the whole Shea line. Good job again, The Body Shop. So many of your scents are so simple yet endlessly pleasing. Edit: I'm not sure if anyone else has picked up on its slight similarity to Dior Addict, but I make my Addict go further by using one tiny squirt of it then three or four squirts of TBS Shea. Edit 2: it's also a bit like Bvlgari Omnia so it's a stretcher for several things!

Simple and sensual--all warm nuttiness and sweet vanilla. Shea is so skin-like. It has a very natural, light, non-cloying sweetness to it. It smells youthful, artless, and vital. I get a cream-in-oil vibe from it, but non-greasy. It’s sensual and clean and light—like taut, warm, glossy skin, shining with beads of lake water. Many people seem to perceive Shea as a fall/winter fragrance, but for me it's pure summer. It feels _made_ of summer. The longevity is poor and the sillage is minimal, but the bottle is small enough to stash easily in a purse or backpack or a beach bag, and it’s fifteen dollars, so I don't really mind. In a way Shea's ephemerality only adds to its evocative charm.

Very unisex, it starts off smelling like the opening notes of a men's cologne thanks to the aromatic bergomot zest and lavender blend. It is in no way overly herbaceous or citrusy smelling, it's all immediately soften by the light powdery sweet creaminess of shea butter, which has a slight nutty scent. It's a nut covered in a nut butter sort of nutty scent if you can imagine that. It's fresh yet warm and comforting at the same time like a woman's clean must smelling cashmere sweater which has a slight bit of her boyfriend's Cologne still on it. Very unique, I urge you to try it. Aromatic Nutty Creamy Sweet Powdery

At first I was dissappointed because I thought it was a little too masculine. After a couple uses I am glad that I have mistaken the bottle and bought Shea instead of Brazil Nut. Shea is sweet and creamy and yet very clean and fresh. First it smells a little like shaving cream but after 10 minutes the creamy sweetness becomes noticable. It has a good longevity but stays close to skin. It smells very comforting and clean. Great for using after shower or bedtime. And perfect for layering. It gives a warm, nutty and lotion like smell to whatever perfume you layer it.

I might sound insane, but this reminds me a lot of the dry-down of Replica’s Coffee Break. Shea EDT is much softer, but they both have that creamy, clean, soapy yet buttery aromatic scent profile. Shea EDT is a gorgeous everyday fragrance that is also soothing to wear for winding down at the end of a long day. I agree with others who have stated this is a perfect bed time scent as it’s so inoffensive, light, and calming. The price is also fantastic.

I love this. At first, it smells masculine, but as time progresses the scent softens into something nutty and creamy. I find it soothing and relaxing. It's safe to wear this kind of scent in office, it's mild and inoffensive. Reminds me of perfume samples on the folded pages of Vogue magazines back in the 90's. P.S. -- It smells so nice that i bought the body lotion.. the lotion is creamy and the scent is lighter compared to the body mist.

In my opinion this is one of the best affordable fragrances you can buy. It has a warm, clean and sophisticated vibe & is also great for layering. Nothing sharp or harsh here. Totally unisex. The minimalist in me thinks that if I had to have one versatile scent, this would be it... Suitable for any weather and occasion. The only drawback is the lasting power - probably 2-3 hours tops. Other than that, this is a true gem.

I love this fragrance so much it has everything I want in a perfume. Warm, vanilla, nutty, fresh, slightly masculine, comforting. Sadly I need to overspray to get any kind of projection but it smells divine. I found this after looking for a vegan dupe for Armani Lei and it has that same "summer rain on warm skin" feeling I love so much. I will need to stock up soon as I run out so fast :(

I received this as a Christmas gift as the Vanilla perfume I had wished for was out of stock, but what a pleasant surprise this was! I don’t know why I haven’t tried Shea before, it’s definitely one of my new favorites. It’s a warm, nutty and comforting close to skin scent, and I even appreciate it being unisex. I don’t usually like unisex scents but this one is just beautiful.

I love it. It's so soft and inoffensive. Sweet, but not too sweet, nutty, powderry, milky and creamy. At first the alcohol hits kind of strong, but it fades away within minutes. Perfect for everyday. Though it doesn't last long for me, but I kind of like it that it's light, and as it's cheap, it's feels okay to respray it once in a while. Good for layering too.

Natural, earthy, nutty, smells like the best shea body butter lotion cream. A great out of the shower scent. I love to spray this after a shower and applying my scent free CeraVe Lotion. This just wraps you in a hug of clean shea nut butter. To me this really smells like a lotion so some might wish it had more 'fragrance' but I love it for what it is.

I had been looking for this fragrance forever, and I didn't even know it. Smells warm and beautiful. An intense version of all the best things about Shea. Definitely great for fall and winter, because it is the fragrance version of a cashmere sweater, however, it is soft enough to be worn in warmer weather. I would consider it a day fragrance.

Absolutely in love wih this fragrance but stay very very close to the skin.... PLEASE HELP ME to find a match for this and with better longevity and projection (I tried Rochas man, J’ose Eisenberg which are the most similar, tried also New Harleem and Pure Tonka but too strong and don’t smell exacly like The Body Shop Shea

I am a sucker for this scent, such a creamy, beautiful perfume! It just feels a bit too manly for me, which is one of the reasons why I didn't buy it (I wear perfume to accentuate my femininity, not to hide it!), the other two being sillage and lasting power - both too weak for my liking.

The whole Shea line of TBS has an intriguing fragrance, in my opinion... Smells like sexy cleanliness, like woody-smelling clean sheets! It's very linear, but I do enjoy this scent and it lasts about 3 hours on me with soft sillage. Inoffensive, feminine and simple, very wearable overall.

you need this. it’s creamy and nutty while still feeling super clean and light. I love it, especially after a bath or shower. it’s an EDT, so doesn’t have much staying power, but it’s so inexpensive it’s easy to spritz with abandon. I might have to get myself the rest of the shea line lol

This used to be one of the scents I wore a lot during my high school years and I got compliments on it. It's very creamy and nutty. Sometimes I would spray it on after shower before bedtime. It was very cozy and comforting. The only complaint I have is that is not long lasting.

To me this is the perfect 'just out of the shower' bedtime scent. It smells so clean and cuddly and nutty to me, not like you're wearing perfume, but like you just naturally smell good after a shower. Simple, just like the body butter but wonderful.
