Hey Everyone!  

Welcome back .. 

So as you all know that I am a huge fragrance horder and am always in hunt for new fragrances to test and try. And The Body Shop  being one of my favorite brands, I got my hands on a few of their body mists and I thought that I should definitely share my review for them, so today I am going to review the The Body Shop Moringa Body Mist.

Hope you enjoy reading the review & know my experience with this product.

Body spray, Ultra-fine mist.
Floral body spray for all day freshness.
Blending notes of sugar & moringa extract.
Gentle burst of delicate florals.
Community Trade sugarcane essence from Brazil.

Key Ingredients :

Alcohol Denat. (Solvent/Diluent), Aqua (Solvent/Diluent), Parfum (Fragrance), Linalool (Fragrance Ingredient), Benzyl Salicylate (Fragrance Ingredient), Propylene Glycol (Humectant), Geraniol (Fragrance Ingredient), Glycerin (Humectant), Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extract (Skin Conditioning Agent), Sorbitol (Humectant), Eugenol (Fragrance Ingredient), Denatonium Benzoate (Denaturant).

  • The bottle has greenish Moringa design on it with all the product details mentioned.
  • It also has this sticker at the side of the bottle that has list of ingredients etc.
  • The packaging overall is fuss free and travel friendly.

My Experience with this ..! 


Another Floral addition to my fragrance stash :) 

I am a sucker for floral and sticky fruity sugary fragrances , and Moringa being a floral scent I had to give it a shot :)

The Moringa variant from TBS is a Hit or Miss for many , as the fragrance is unique.. and the Moringa variant has gain popularity for its uniqueness . The fragrance is floral but not typical white floral ones .. it is somewhat different .. It has hints of white floral fragrance with sugary notes in it and overall impact boils down to the "Floral" category. 

Moringa is basically found in the foot hills of Himalayas and now it is grown worldwide. Moringa leaves and tree is considered to be under the super food and that's where moringa gained its popularity. 

Coming to the packaging , the glass bottle and loosely fitted black cap makes it inappropriate for travelling but if you are someone who is careful while carrying your fragrances you wouldn't complain about that.The fragrance lasts just about decent . .mostly somewhere between 3 to 4 hours , not more than that , after that you simply have to spritz the goodness again to get the fragrance to last longer. The blend of sugary notes and floral notes makes it appropriate for day time use rather than night time. The fragrance is in between being mild and strong .. it's not that overpowering but not so light either.


How much does it Cost? !! :

100 ML of it costs Rs 795/-

What Did I like about this product ?:

  • Fragrance is pleasant , feminine and good for day time wear.
  • Since it is not overpowering it can be used by folks with sensitive noses.
  • Lasts for good 3-4 hours.
  • Quite unique fragrance.
    What did I dislike about this product:.
    • Expensive
    • Would have preferred had it been more long lasting
    • Packaging with glass bottle and flimsy cap makes it difficult to travel with.
    Rating !! : 

    Rating would be :4/5

    • The gel consistency is just perfect, neither too thick nor too thin.
    • The fragrance is of the shower gel is just like fresh lime and mint which lingers for like 1 hour after bath.The name explains it all .. it's truly is Virgin Mojito in a bottle :) 
    • Product details are mentioned on the bottle. 
    • Packaging is simple, sturdy, basic, decent, handy, travel friendly. 
    • Lathers really well.

    My Experience with this ..! 

    I bought this shower gel to gift it to a very dear friend and when she used it and raved about it I felt the need to run to the TBS store and get myself a bottle of freshness too :) 

    This shower gel variant is so true to its name. It smells exactly like Virgin Mojito .. so fresh .. so zesty .. the lemon fragrance gives you a zesty kick that is needed to feel fresh during the bath .. It lathers really well, even without a loofah, just rub the product on your wet hands and you have enough lather in no time. A walnut size amount is enough for whole body and one bottle lasts for a month if used regularly. The fragrance lingers for about an hour, after which it fades gracefully. The gel consistency is just perfect , it's neither too runny nor too thick.

    The packaging is simple yet efficient as it is recyclable (I am so proud that TBS is an environment friendly brand). It is travel friendly as well. I love this one so much because it makes my everyday bath experience very relaxing and enjoyable. Also the shower gel does not strip off the natural oils from my skin, so it is not drying, specially during winters. All and all I love this product, will highly recommend using this one. There are many other variants as well to try out :) 

    How much does it Cost? !! :

    The Body Shop Virgin Mojito Shower Gel 250ml - INR 345/- You can find them on all popular shopping websites as well as TBS stores

    What Did I like about this product ?:

    • Gel consistency is perfect.
    • Lathers really well.
    • Doesn't strip off natural oil from my body.
    • Smells amazing.
    • Packaging is simple.
    What did I dislike about this product:
    • It is expensive.
    • This variant gets sold out really soon, so it is little difficult to find it at times.
    Recommended to use ?? 

    Yes, it is a nice product to try out.

    Fogg Ossum Body Mists - Product Review | Shriya Sagdeo | beautyandthecode

    Hey Peeps !  

    Welcome back .. 

    Fogg came up with a series of Body Mists for Women called Ossum and me being a huge fragrance hoarder, I had to try them all :P and as the title suggests I will be reviewing these products for you guys. It comes in 4 variants; Pleasure, Delight, Romance and Blossom.

    To know my experience with these, stay tuned till the end !! 

    Product Description :




    What does the Product Claim:

    Fogg have launched this series Ossum in 4 variants namely: Pleasure, Delight, Romance and Blossom. All 4 variants claim to have Aqua component as the Base Note with Spicy, Floral, Fresh and Fruity components as the Top Notes in them. 

    Pleasure :



    Delight :



    Romance :





    Blossom :







    Packaging :



    • All 4 variants come in a Cardboard Box which contain a Plastic Bottle which in turn are color coordinated.
    • All 4 variants come with a cap and normal spray mechanism. I love the spray mechanism for these as it gives a really fine mist.
    • These mists come in 2 sizes; 190 ml and 115 ml. I personally will prefer 115 ml packaging as it is smaller in size and I can carry it in my purse without any fuss.
    • Some details are mentioned on the front of the bottle with some Holographic content. Moreover, some details like ingredients etc. are mentioned on the back of each bottle.
    • The cap is a little lose for some bottles and one might ending losing it if you carry it when travelling.
    • Packaging is simple, sturdy, basic, decent  handy and travel friendly 
    • There are 4 variants, catering to 4 fragrance categories : aqua/fresh, fruity, floral and spicy respectively, so there is something for everyone. 

    My Experience with this ..!

    All 4 of these have Aqua fragrance as their Base note with varying notes as Spicy, Fresh, Floral and Fruity as the Top note. All 4 are strong and long lasting. Individual reviews coming up:
    • Pleasure - This one comes in a Aqua Blue color bottle. This one has Aqua and Fresh fragrance. It is not completely fresh like Cinthol :P, but it has Fresh and some Floral notes to it. I absolutely love this fragrance. This one is easily my favorite of the 4 variants.
    • Delight - This one comes in a Purple color bottle. This one has White Floral components as the Top Note and Aqua components as the Base Note. This is my second favorite of the 4. If you love Long Lasting mists, go for this one as this is easily the most long lasting of these 4 variants. It will easily last for around 5-6 hours.This fragrance is the strongest and most long lasting one out of the 4 variants.
    • Romance - This one comes in a beautiful Pink bottle. This one has Aqua and Fruity notes in it. If you like Fruity fragrances, then you are going to love this one. This is also very long lasting and on the stronger side.
    • Blossom - This one comes housed in a Orangish Red bottle. This one has Aqua and Spicy fragrance. If you are someone who likes Aqua with Spicy notes then I highly recommend using this one.
    All the 4 variants are on the stronger fragrance category, if you are someone with a sensitive nose then Stay Far Away from these fragrances .. If you are someone like me .. as in .. who enjoys long lasting strong on your face kind of fragrances .. this could become your next favorite .. especially the purple variant :) 

    In terms of my personal liking .. I love the purple variant (Delight), followed by Blue Variant(Pleasure), followed by Pink Variant(Blossom) and last is spicy red variant(Blossom).
