Juba Perfume Oil The Body Shop for women

I hate this. There is nothing fresh about it, to think it is classified as a fruity floral. I cannot detect any citrus or peach or all those succulent notes which are said to be notes of this fragrance. And it sucks that this awful fragrance has amazing lasting power. Definitely a scrubber. I cannot stand the chemical smell of this. It stings my nostrils.

i've been a fan and customer of The Body Shop since the 80's (mail order through catalogs, shipped from the UK)... and yet i stumbled across this scent quite by accident. i was wearing Ananya (perfume oil, from The Body Shop) and spent an evening with my best friend - he thought i smelled amazing, and i thought he smelled amazing... he was wearing Juba. so we exchanged bottles, and that was...what...15 years ago? more? and i still love this scent. it's a rich, savory citrus (no Orange-glo cleanser smell! and no bitter grapefruit!) but with something else i can't quite describe. when pressed, i call it sandalwood and oranges and it's how i imagine the character Angelica from Elizabeth Hand's _Waking the Moon_ would have smelled.

Also, oddly, on what worked out to be our first date, between my now-husband and myself, i went into a Body Shop (Town Center, Kennesaw, yo) and discovered that the perfume spray of Juba had been discontinued. i didn't have my wallet with me, but he bought me all the bottles they had left. i'm down to my last two now, but i still have a stockpile of the oil and i still wear it when i need a little extra courage, oomph, or just need that certain something.

I liked it a lot 15 years ago, but I remember that I got bored of it in the end.
It's a quite sharp scent, IMO only suitable for young girls and only for everyday use and casual occasions.

Loved this fragrance 20 years ago, have bought it off ebay again, and hope to be as impressed as I was back then.

I am surprised to find it classified as an oriental....this is def a fruity floral to me. It lasts forever, so put the oil on lightly, and it will surround you all day. Very ripe and juicy, and can be strong (this is coming from a loud scent junkie, so watch out!)

This has been my favorite. Please, where Can I find this now? Been searching this for a long time after being discontinued by Body shop.
Longing

I love this perfume oil I'v worn it since I was a teenager in the 90's until they discontinued it in Canada. I'v had so many compliments when I wear it. I wished they would bring it back. I still have one little bottle of it. I guess when it gone that it : (

This is the MOST intoxicating fragrance I have ever smelled. I wore it exclusively until sales were stopped in the US for a reason unknown to me. I bought it online from China for a while, but had such difficulty obtaining it, I chose a new fragrance. I love Juba and would wear it now if I could find a supplier.

one of my first perfumes... i really loved it i used it almost all the time! it turned heads no matter where i been and i received so many compliments. too bad i had to stop using it since it gave me big bad red rashes especially at my wrists!

This was one of my first perfumes. I bought it in December which explains why I now think of 'christmas' every time I smell it. Its very fruity with some woody spice that holds long after first application. I have since replaced this with Calyx by Prescriptives.

very sweet perfumme for romantic girl not my fav, but i like it

Another favourite from a long time ago.
