This month? We try out The Body Shop’s White Tea & Elderflower fragrance mist.
The Body Shop has long been a go-to for everything shower and get-ready related, including its gender-free fragrance mists, like newbie: White Tea & Elderflower.
Prized in wellness rituals around the world, white tea and elderflower have earned a reputation for helping calm the mind and restore balance. White tea, one of the least processed teas available, has historically been associated with focus, clarity and relaxation thanks to its naturally soothing properties and gentle caffeine content. Elderflower, is rumoured to have been used for centuries in herbal remedies and aromatherapy for its comforting floral aroma and mood-boosting qualities. Together, the two create a scent pairing that feels clean, restorative and quietly energizing, making this mist the perfect fit for The Body Shop.
The fragrance opens with sparkling tonic water, soothing cucumber and juicy upcycled apple puree to create a refreshing hit that feels immediately clean and invigorating. An infusion of white tea and elderflower notes soon waft forward bringing a smooth, honeyed and peaceful airiness. As the scent dries down, notes of refreshing pear, warm cedarwood and sensual musk ground it with a calm, skin-like intimacy that feels endearing and serene all at the same time. The overall effect is relaxed, modern and quietly confident.
The mist’s sleek and straightforward bottle taps into The Body Shop’s understated aesthetic. Minimalist and clean, the transparent flacon lets the soft golden-toned liquid shine through, while the simple label is smattered with tiny elderflowers and the brand’s iconic typography. All combined the brand’s naturally inspired philosophy rings true: uncomplicated, practical and refreshing. Products you never want to put down.
