Hey Everyone!  

Welcome back .. 

So as you all know that I am a huge fragrance hoarder 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 one of their EDTs and I thought that I should definitely share my review for them, so today I am going to review the The Body Shop Japanese Cherry Blossom Strawberry Kiss EDT.

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


 Product Description : 




What does the Product Claim:

Our most addictive sweet Eau De Toilette is infused with the scent of Japanese cherry blossoms and refreshingly juicy notes of strawberries, pink peony and amber, so that you feel irresistibly fruity and fragrant. Complete in a retro-style perfume bottle, this 100% vegan scent is the perfect gift for spoiling someone special.


  • Sweet and fruity Eau De Toilette.
  • Retro-style, engraved and multi-faceted glass bottle.
  • Infused with the scent of Japanese cherry blossoms , notes of strawberries, peony and amber, and organic, Community Trade sugarcane alcohol from Brazil.

My Experience with this ..! 


Another Sweet and Fruity addition to my fragrance stash :) 

I am a sucker for sweet and fruity sugary fragrances, and Japanese Cherry Blossom Strawberry Kiss being a sweet and fruity scent I had to give it a shot :) 

The fragrance I get from it is mostly sweet and fruity; sometimes like a Watermelon Candy and sometimes like you are in a farm of Strawberries. It does not give a pungent strong smell so it can be used at day and night time. Although its not too strong but it lasts for a long time. The fragrance becomes a little light slowly but it stays for a long time.

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 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 fruity notes makes it appropriate for day time use and since its not that pungent you can use it at night time as well. The fragrance is in between being mild and strong .. it's not that overpowering but not so light either.


How much does it Cost? !! :

    Fogg Beautiful Secret EDP - Product Review | Shriya Sagdeo | Beautyandthecode

    Hey Everyone!  

    Welcome back .. 

    I am pretty sure by now you will know that this is going to be a fragrance review; me being a huge fan of trying new fragrances, this time around during a recent visit to the grocery store, I got my hands on one of the Body Sprays from Fogg and I thought that I should definitely share my review for them, so today I am going to review the Fogg Beautiful Secret EDP.

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


     Product Description : 




    What does the Product Claim:

    • Soothing experience throughout the day
    • Ensures you 800 sprays
    • Consists of refreshing
    • Long lasting fragrance
    Fogg perfume is an ideal daily wear perfume that has pleasant fragrance. With just a single whiff this perfume will envelop you for whole day. It leaves you with fresh, cool feeling. Once you wear this perfume no need to worry about sweat odor.


    Key Ingredients :
    • Ethyl Alcohol
    • Perfume
    • DEP
    • Benzophenone-3
    • Pentaerethrityl Terta-Di-T-Butyl
    • Hydroxyhydrocinnamate
    • Alcohol(95% V/V)



    Packaging :



    • It comes in a beautiful looking see through Red and Black colored glass bottle with a plastic cap and simple spray nozzle to dispense the product.
    • The list of ingredients etc. is only mentioned on the packaging and not on the bottle so in case you want to monitor what you are using, you will have to keep the packaging with you :P
    • The packaging overall is fuss free, but since it is glass bottle its a little heavy and not very travel friendly.

    My Experience with this ..! 


    Another fruity fragrance addition to my fragrance stash :) 

    The Beautiful Secret variant from Fogg is a Hit or Miss for many, as the fragrance is not that unique and I have seen people preferring the other variants more. The fragrance is typical having hints of unique fruity notes in it and overall impact boils down to the "Fruity" category. I am a huge fan of fruity fragrances and am always in hunt for this category. Although this is not very strong, but applying a tad more than usual gives me an amazing sense of being in a fruity environment. I am sure it will not last that long for me as I am applying in huge quantities. But people with sensitive noses can use it and use it for a good amount of time. Again as it is not very strong so people with sensitive noses can definitely go for it. :)

    Coming to the packaging, the glass bottle has a nicely fitted cap but the overall weight makes it a little inappropriate for travelling.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 fragrance is in between being mild and strong .. it's not that overpowering but not so light either.


    How much does it Cost? !! :

    Fogg Beautiful Secret EDP

    • Amazon - 100 ML of it costs Rs 499/- BUY HERE

    • 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.
    • Very affordable fragrance.
      What did I dislike about this product:.
      • Would have preferred had it been more long lasting
      • Would have preferred had it been more stronger
      Rating !! : 

      Rating would be :3.5/5
