I was so excited by this rerelease, and so apparently were a lot of other late Gen Xers/early millennials, judging by how fast it sold out and how long it took to get my hands on it. But it's just a nice fruity floral, with a touch of interest from the eucalyptus. The magic is gone. Maybe nostalgia, but it doesn't match my scent memory. I would possibly rate it higher--I will probably use it as a perfectly nice layering perfume--if not for the disappointment.

    I was ready to snap up a bottle but decided to approach with caution instead and ordered two small body butters (one for me and one for my sister). And I absolutely love taking in deeps whiffs of the tin, it definitely brought back memories. But I also think I don’t want to walk around smelling like this anymore (despite the fact they I use to douse my self in it). I finally got my nose on the perfume oil in store, and it didn’t hit the same.

      The notes are almost completely different from the listing, should never have ordered online without checking. It's nice but generic, and the old Bodyshop oils were distinctive. I'm trying to remember the name of their Australian competitor that was then bought by L'Oreal and lost its identity I have so much nostalgia for their Boronia perfume.
