My experience using it
It’s a refreshing cologne in a spray bottle. With top notes of green tea, bergamot, lemon, mandarin, camellia, jasmine and violet. Fragrance is very  light mainly because of the  tea and the citrus.

The ingredients for the Eau de Cologne are quite typical of most perfumes. Alcohol, Water, Fragrance, and other citrus fragrance ingredients like Linalool, Limonene, Citral & Camellia Leaf Extract.

Fragrance fade fast- lasts for like 2-3 hours; staying power increases if used in pair with body butter. I think the smell fades fast since citrus notes tend to not have much longevity. One other thing that I noticed is the fragrance is not overpowering at all, sensitive noses- the smell of this is not strong as you think!. This is not just a tea smell, but more of a mix of herbs+citrus+floral. It’s a great unisex fragrance. Only suggestion is – I wish the fragrance lasted a little longer.

I love this body butter. I use it during day time after the shower. It has a pleasant citrusy fragrance. The texture is thick , however, it doesn’t make the skin look greasy. It leaves skin soft and hydrated. The scent of this is strong enough that you can layer this with the cologne and that fairly increase the lasting power of the light scent.

In any weather conditions- Keeping the body moisturized is extremely important. This is definitely my go to body butter along with my Nellie Tier  these days… 

I am totally loving this range from Body Shop and I am going to buy other products from this range as well. If you love green tea/citrusy fragrances, I highly recommend checking this line out. Check the entire Fuji Green Tea range here
