The Spirit of Moonflower

This is a review for the 'Original' Moonflower. I mean the very first years that the BOdy Shop ever introduced Moonflower. The last couple of years they have watered down this beautiful scent into some cheap synthetic mess (I'm sure the 'new' reformulated scent would make Anita Roddick rolling in her grave)and eventually discontinue this lovely gem. I blame L'oreal for this. Now on to the review: Moonflower, is one of the most delicate, delectable, distinctive floral fragrance that I've ever smelt. At first you will get a big bouquet of white flowers & Jasmine, joined with delicate melon scent, but not to worry because you're not going to get the sweet teensy melon here. It dries down into a soft musky-jasmine base that lingers close to the skin. Sillage is beautiful, amazing longevity. This is actually a jasmine based perfume that I can wear. Other Jasmines will smell like a body odour on my skin. Crazy chemistry reaction right there. This perfume is definitely floral and very ladylike. It's good for day & evening wear. Or maybe your first date. I'm sad that they decided to discontinue this scent, but either way I think it's good for them to do it,so they won't ruin a classic.

Very girlie, very pink, innocent, & so sweet & sexy! On me this Moonflower EDT smells heaven!! & it really reminds me of those pink water-lilys from my childhood summerdays, in the lakes of north Finland (which is known as the "country of lakes")! So this scent brings me totally back to one of the most beautiful places I`ve ever been to . A secret pond in the middle of nowhere in northertn Finland. This pond is filled with rare, & protected pale northern Scandinavian pink Water Lilys. I'ts illegal to pick these Pink Water Lilys, because they are so rare. So just like with this delicate scent, "The Spirit of Moonflower", one has to stick to just closing ones eyes, and breath in these rare water-flowers. Just remeber - No touching! Fairy Delicate fragrance made of northern fairy-dreams.

You cannot imagine how sad I was when Body Shop decided to discontinue this scent, which, in my opinion, was the only one they did right (next to Dewberry, which was also discontinued). Why the HELL does Body Shop discontinue what should be their mainstays?! If Body Shop were the music industry, Moonflower would be number one on the charts. Yes, it's THAT amazing. It's a delightful, almost coquettish pink floral that can be described as the opposite of cloying. Perhaps if I get a ticket to England and picket endlessly at the main Body Shop office to bring it back, they'll reconsider. In the meantime, I'm saving my last 30ml bottle for special occasions, or just when I want a whiff of nostalgia every now and again.

THE BEST LOW-COST PERFUME EVER!i will never get the reason why they discontinued all over the world...i really miss it! it was nothing like heavy expensive perfumes...it brought an optimistic aura to every woman who wore it!it was ideal for casual everyday occasion! even for hot summer nights in the islands...floral cleaniness is the phrase that best describes moonflower...and thats something important that many expensive floral perfumes havent achieved...oh,how i miss it!you could spray your hair with the body mist and get compliments all day long!BRING IT BACK TO THE STORES xo xo

I can't believe I am still looking for this! I hope they bring this back. I remember wearing this and people stopping to ask me what it is. Or, when I spray it on people around me will just gasp and ask what was that smell "it's so good?!?!". Only reason I stopped wearing was when a friend (one of those who asked me what my perfume was) bought one and was using it daily too (so now we have the same scent). I feel that this was my signature scent then and I hope they bring it back because some days I just want to smell like clean and happy spring.

Beautiful floral fragrance. It's very similar to scent emited by jimson weed (Datura stramonium). Maybe more intense, fruity and complex. Phase 1. Cucumber + garden phlox (T-girl) + crown vetch (Securigera varia) Phase 2. jasmine + grapesoda (Daliflor EDT) + grapevine blossom + shy freesia in the background + scent of fresh laundry hanging out to dry in a garden. Try it if yoy like aerial innocent florals:, T-Girl, Tommy Girl Summer flankers, La Chasse Au Papillons, Daliflor EDT, Baiser Vole Extrait de Parfum or Energizing Fragrance by Shiseido.

I loved this little cheapie, so much! It was the only number my then boyfriend ever appreciated. Coriander, a fruity note alike carambola (star fruit, so perhaps the mix of melon and lotus creates that) and jasmine. The other notes are rather muted, providing backing. A burst of fizzy citrus and flowery bliss, it is rather enjoyable. Feminine, good projection but short lived sillage. Worth the small price and a ride with.

This was my signature scent growing up (along with their witch hazel eye cream that worked wonders for puffy, tired eyes) and my heart broke when they discontinued it. The scent comes with many memories and it truly makes you smell like a lady. Longevity was amazing on me. It's the kind of floral and sweet scent that is never over the top. I truly wish TBS would bring this back.

I love love love moonflower! I just can't stop sniffing myself. I used to wear this in college. I was bummed when I found out they discontinued this one. It's so feminine and soft. It smells exactly how a woman in her 20's should smell like. It's perfect and it's one of my favorite scents. The smell is just so pretty.

I love this perfume so much, when this was out I remember going to TBS everyday just to spray this. I bought a bottle but it ran out and it's discontinued now. Does anyone knows a fragrance that's similar to this? This is extremely unique floral scent with a hint of midnight grass and moonlight.

Ohh how it broke my 20-something heart the day they discontinued this beauty. I wore it in my early 20s, and at the time, I considered it the most heavenly summer scent I had ever smelled. It was right up my alley. Quite unique if I recall. I wish they would revive it! Come on, Body Shop!

I really miss this scent. I have a lot of perfumes but this was only one I used and emptied its bottle. The only one I sniffed & took deep-long breath with it. THE BODY SHOP BRING IT BACK PLEASE, PLEASE!!!

Por esos días usaba el aceite, este perfume y tambien mi amado Kenzo Summer. Que tiempos de aromas alegres bellos y originales!, por favor...regrésen la felicidad a las estanterias!

It was sweet but in a refreshing way,something that I always longed for in a perfume but just when I thought I had found the perfect perfume for me Body Shop discontinued it.....:(

Very disapointed that they discontinued this fragrance it used to be my favourite, all i can find now is the oil,the smell is perfect and it always lifted my spirit.

a wonderful little scent. i remeber having this one several years back, loved it so much ,its sweetness,the powdernyness thats so good,and not nausiating at all.

It's such a light, fragile yet optimistic perfume. Really influences GREAT Mood.i miss it so much! why was it discontinued, please bring it back Body Shop!

To me, this smells like the TF Fleur de Portofino. I wish they bring this pretty pink flower back.

My signature scent growing up. So much memories.

The best perfume ever!I miss it!
