Strawberry
by The Body Shop
The Body Shop Strawberry EDT is a singular, uncomplicated fragrance centered entirely on a sweet, synthetic strawberry note—essentially a gourmand candy scent rather than a natural fruit interpretation. It evokes nostalgic imagery of childhood strawberry candies, bubblegum, or early '90s bubble baths, with a prominent syrupy, jammy quality. The scent is light and fleeting, with most agree it lasts only a few hours, though some report longer persistence on clothing. It offers no complexity or development; the aroma remains linear and unchanging, which some appreciate for its simple pleasure, while others find it dull or overly sweet. The body mist version is significantly weaker but may last longer than the EDT, making it a more sustainable choice. The fragrance is universally seen as youthful, girly, and best suited for casual daywear in warm weather, particularly spring and summer.
