The Perfume

The Body Shop quotes Love Etc... as 'our irresistible fragrance in a lasting eau de parfum: a heart-stopping fusion of jasmine, vanilla and sandalwood notes' (www.bodyshop.co.uk)

My Opinion
_________________________________________________ ______
I love perfume but had found that most were beginning to smell alike. I ventured on a perfume journey finding artisan perfumers such as BPAL and Possets and such like.

I vowed I would never go back to commercial perfumes but stumbled upon Love Etc... by mistake. I was reading a glossy magazine and they had a sniffy pull back tab, I was curious as the packaging looked different for The Body Shop and it looked like it could have been young, fresh yet romantic.

I swiped my wrist over and was instantly hooked. I immediately went to The Body Shop website and ordered the 30ml which cost £14 but you can also get 50ml for £18. It arrived in around five days and I really found like this was 'me' it wasn't overpowering and I didn't feel like it could have only been worn say at night, work or during the day like some other fragrances.

They say that if you can really smell a perfume once you have applied it then it's not the perfume for you, apparently it means the notes within the perfume don't agree with your body chemistry, this however didn't over power me and I would get gorgeous hits of fragrance when I was taking off my cardigan or coat which was really lovely.

I since purchased the heart shaped solid perfume and the body butter. Both of these layers really well with the perfume and are full of fragrance themselves alone. My husband even now gives me back massages or foot massages without grumbling as he loves the scent of Love Etc...

This definitely makes you happy, I felt calm and grounded and confident when wearing this perfume. I was asked so many times what perfume I was wearing by both friends and strangers. I hope The Body Shop do not discontinue this as I would happily buy this every year. I have only just run out of the perfume which lasted me around seven months with daily use.

Seven months' worth of scent for £14 in my opinion is a real bargain.
