Advantages: nice soft smell, good value for money

Disadvantages: none

I bought some of this aqua lilly eau de toilette today from the body shop, as I remember liking the scent when I tried it a few months ago. I thought that this would make a great fragrance to wear for the nearing summer months. It sort of reminds me of cool water for women but I must say I do prefer this one.

It comes in a clear blue glass bottle of 30ml and has a small silver metal cap to protect the spray top. The bottle isn't particularly pretty or special, but it's more the contents I'm after and don't mind not getting a fancy bottle if it means I only need to pay about half the price or less than I would have for a designer fancy fragrance bottle. This eau de toilette is only £8.50, which I think is excellent value for money.

They also have other items in this range such as body lotions, shower gels, perfume oils etc. You can use the shower gel and body lotion to help layer the scent so that it becomes more intense and lasts much longer throughout the day. I personally find that the scent lasts pretty well and I only need to apply it in the morning to have it last all day.

The scent is really fresh and light, it just smells clean and refreshing. It doesn't have any obvious flower or fruity scents in it, though they mention fruit and flowers on the body shop's website. I did get compliments wearing this and some girls want to know what it is and where to get it. It's not a love it or hate it scent (unlike their vanilla eau de toilette) so I think it will suit most women, especially young girls.

I highly recommend this as a light daytime, clean smelling fragrance for summer.

Summary: great soft summer fragrance
