I’m coming to the conclusion that the people who come up with these world themed perfumes don’t realize that Japan has flowers besides cherry blossoms.
So true!
I’m assuming that’s the same JCB that TBS already sells, just repackaged. They also already sell a Moroccan Rose and a vanilla, and the Indian Night Jasmine sounds not unlike their Neroli Jasmin. Is TBS running out of ideas?
Could be that these are natural versions of existing scents — I’m surprised, given their brand positioning, that they haven’t made more of an effort in the natural arena.
These actually sound quite nice, and Body Shop’s products are affordable and ethical. I haven’t loved every scent they’ve come out with, but I do like the idea of matching scent, shower gel, lotion, etc. and will be on the lookout for these.
