Tea Rose Perfume Oil The Body Shop for women

old fashioned, simple pure rose. actually I prefer this than TBS moroccan rose (ooh maybe just because it's nostalgic property)

use sparingly.

This scent smells just like the white midsummer rose bush in my grandmother's garden, so naturally I love it.

It is, however, an extremely strong scent. You definitely have to be in the right mood for it, and it's not for everyday wear. To me it's an endlessly elegant, sort of old fashioned, sharp and clean yet romantic rose scent. I definitely prefer this to all the other cloyingly sweet, powdery rose fragrances out there.

It was a WONDERFUL pure and simple, sweet and nostalgic rose...I remember it was particularly nice in cold weather. I was a student back then and from those times I haven't find any better rose perfume that will smell better than that cheap and simple The Body Shop oil.
I wish I had a Body Shop near me now, but I haven't in the city I live now.

Rose and violets. I prefer rose alone but not with any other flower...it makes the rose smell sharp and bitter. But still a nice oil. Use sparingly, its strong

tea pose from pws is the only real rose scent alone in my book if you want 'strictly' roses <3

I like it but why when i was wearing it and I entered the room, something thought that someone in the room had sprayed air freshner. lol

In the contest for least expensive tea rose scent, it's hard to believe, but The Body Shop TEA ROSE perfume oil actually beats out The Perfumer's Workshop! Either way, we're talking single digits here, so the difference is a matter of nickels and dimes. (-:

In terms of quality, TPW is better, I think. It has more of the complexity and greenness of roses in situ. But TBS is not bad, no not at all. And, if you happen to prefer perfume oil to spray, this one may serve you well.

The oil itself smells rather sweet to my nose, but once absorbed into the skin, the roses defeat the sweetness. This would be a good choice for low-risk mixing.

This one is just too sweet and synthetic smelling to my nose. And believe me, I love ROSES. Actually what this does smell exactly like is a red cordial drink in South East Asia, 'the rose syrup', which is basically sugared rose water. If you like the idea of sweet, gourmand sugar-drenched rose petals, you'd love this one.

I believe the perfect rose fragrance should not just aim to capture the sweet, velvety fragrance of the flower itself, it should also aim to capture the greenness of its stems and leaves, the earthiness of the dirt it sprouts from and the freshness of a dewdrop gently rolling down it's velvet petal. Yes the sweet, floral note of the petals should dominate in a good rose fragrance, but that's not all you should be smelling, it deserves to be more complex.

That is how a true rose scent should smell for me, it should smell multidimensional and 'real', like you are in a rose garden yourself sniffing on the flower, and the aroma that greets your nose is not just from the flower itself, but everything else that has made the rose a rose :) it shouldn't be just flat and sweet. The closest I have found to a perfect rose fragrance is Evelyn Rose...but it is still not perfect. Someday when I get the moolah, I shall try out one of pricey niche rose-garden scents, but for now Evelyn Rose is just great.

I love the top note!!! very very fresh smell of tea rose!! wonderful.
unfortunatly, the middle note is way too strong for me...... but I still like the base note.

My bottle of this is actually left over from more than 10 years ago when high school friends gave it to me as a gift. I was using it sparingly to make it last because it's been discontinued. It use to be my favourite perfume back then. Now I think it's too sweet and it also occurs to me that something about it smells too sharp, almost prickly to nose.

Still, this is still one of the few perfumes that truly remind me of the pink roses that grew in the garden of my childhood home. Most rose perfumes don't smell like my idea of what a rose smells like, but this one does. The only other perfumes beside this that smells truly like a rose to me are Rose Water from Crabtree & Evelyn and Truly Pink from Vera Wang. Not surprisingly I think all three of these perfumes smell very similar.

I bought this perfume primarily to humour my husband, who chose it over the jasmine oil which I had actually preferred. This is a simple, old-fashioned, fresh pink rose scent. It’s naturally comparable to the Crabtree and Evelyn rose scent, but to my nose the Body Shop one is wetter and less powdery then the Crabtree and Evelyn perfume. The lasting power is acceptable – three or four hours on me – and the price is good. It’s not a favourite of mine, but it can be lovely on a sunny spring day.
