FULL ROSE
Imagine the smell of a fresh, blooming rose on a dewy morning. That's the fresh, aromatic, floral scent of The Body Shop's new Full Rose Eau de Parfum.
Extracted from hand-picked rose flowers in Grasse, France. This natural absolute represents the sweet-smelling petals, geranium leaf embodies the crisp, green leaves of the rose bush, and spicy, aromatic cardamom symbolises the spiky thorns.
Responsibly cultivated and farmed, these flowers are traditionally harvested in May, when they're hand-picked at dawn by experienced pickers. They're processed later the very same day to preserve their freshness, creating a rose absolute of the highest quality.
FULL IRIS
Surround yourself with the soft, woody scent of the full iris flower. Intensely beautiful iris concrete represents the powdery petals, piney juniper berries embody the aromatic stems, and soft cedarwood symbolises the woody roots of this new Eau de Parfum from The Body Shop.
The natural iris concrete used in this fragrance is one of the rarest raw materials used in perfumery. It's extracted from iris stems, grown and harvested over three years in the South of France.
The Body Shop also uses an upcycled iris ultimate. Processed stems are reused in a second distillation, to extract the remaining scented molecules. This new raw material has its own fragrance character, with hints of juicy raspberry.
YLANG YLANG
Full Ylang Ylang is a spicy, white floral fragrance, crafted with radiantly floral ylang ylang essential oil, representing the plant's smooth, floral petals. This is blended with fragrant black pepper to represent the spicy aroma of the plant's branches, and sweet, creamy vanilla to embody the velvety leaves.
The Body Shop uses natural ylang ylang essential oil extracted from the flowers, which are hand-picked on the island of Madagascar. Only expert, local farmers know when the flowers have reached optimum maturity. This is when they're harvested using traditional farming methods, to supply a fragrant oil of the highest quality.
ORANGE BLOSSOM
The bold orange blossom absolute that defines this Eau de Parfum represents the aromatic petals, while fresh bergamot embodies the juicy fruits. This is blended with the woody fragrance of vetiver, to symbolise the crisp, green leaves.
The natural orange blossom absolute used by The Body Shop in this fresh, citrusy fragrance is extracted from orange flower buds, hand-picked in the Nile Region of Egypt. They're harvested very early in the morning through a traditional method, which involves shaking the branches of the trees with long sticks. This causes the flowers to drop onto carefully placed rugs, where they can easily be collected.
