Having just reviewed both the Dewberry and Rose and Cinnamon sprays from the Natural Collection range, I thought it was worth reviewing some of the others I have used. I have to say that I do giggle a little when I see the Natural Collection name, as to me the collection of body sprays is far from natural and seems to be a very synthetic smelling range of products.

In spite of the non natural smell the sprays have, I do rather like some of them. For one thing they are very cheap to buy at just £1.99 for a good sized bottle that holds a good amount of the fragrance. The range of sprays you can buy does change over time to reflect new trends and moods and that way you can be sure your scented body spray is allowing you to keep up with whats in vogue in some way.

I used to like wearing the Dewberry body spray as it offered a fruity floral mix that was pretty and enjoyable to wear. The Rose and Cinnamon spray made me sneeze and cough at times, but was another interesting spray that I used from the collection. Both these have been discontinued and are no longer on sale. I am not too fussed about the Rose spray, but as the Dewberry was nice I hope it returns sometime in the future.

Amongst the range that you can still buy a favorite has to be the Ice Musk spray, which is the ranges take on the Body Shops White Musk. The Ice Musk is very fake smelling and has not one natural thing about it as far as I can tell, even so I really like it and have worn it on and off enjoying the slightly cloying thickness of it that softens to a more musky lighter scent. I have a bottle of this lurking and from time to time will spritz some on after a shower which makes it last just that little bit longer.

One of the Natural Collection sprays that I really don't rate at all has to be the Apple and Lime body spray. It is so strong and fake smelling that I can't stand it. I had some of this in a gift set a few years ago and it sat there unused for ages before I felt I should use it up. I could never get into the feel of this scent at all and found the apple to be too strong and synthetic and the lime that was thrown in for good measure just didn't have that zesty tangy feel that lime should have.

I have also tried my luck with the Samphire and Sea Minerals body spray which comes as sunny sea blue coloured liquid. It has a very nice fresh scent to it that I enjoyed wearing that wasn't too over powering for me at all. Sadly I can't speak so well about the matching bath ballistic as I still have one sorry looking bath ball left and really don't want to use it. The last one took more than 40 minutes to fully dissolve and stained everything it touched a nasty shade of oil blue.

Other sprays in the range right now are a Wild Strawberry spray that is very very sweet and lasts just a short while, then turns a little sour. A Passion Fruit spray which is rather nice and is tangy yet sweet and not too heavy. A Mango and Papaya spray that is fine for wear on hot summer days as it gives a zesty feel which I like. There is also a Vanilla spray which I have never really enjoyed as it seems to much for my nose to cope with.

Over all there are 7 body sprays in the range which should appeal to a wide range of body spray wearers. Some to stand out far more than others and of the existing range I feel the Ice Musk is the one that I like the most, followed by the Samphire and Sea Minerals. As a range the longevity of the scents is rather lacking but at a price of just £1.99 I feel they all offer pretty good value. They are worth looking at if you haven't used them before and I feel the range as a whole ought to get 4 stars.
