Fijian Water Lotus

Fijian Water Lotus by The Body Shop is a light, refreshing aquatic fragrance with prominent citrus and floral notes. It opens with a crisp, slightly sweet mandarin orange and marine breeze, evoking a tropical garden with dewy petals and a bubbling fountain. The middle notes feature a soft, clean damask rose and lotus, balanced by a subtle aromatic green quality that prevents it from feeling overly sweet. As it dries down, the scent becomes more watery and delicate, with an elegant, almost soapy-clean texture. It’s ideal for warm weather, offering a reassuringly inoffensive, fresh, and calming presence suitable for day wear. Most users report the perfume lasting only a few hours, but it maintains a consistent, pleasant quietness on the skin. While some praise its similarity to Oceanus and its ability to be a calming, signature scent, others note its lack of depth, weak sillage, and the potential for sharp, unpleasant initial notes on certain skin chemistries. It remains uniquely soft, with a delicate balance between aquatic freshness and a gentle floral sweetness.
