If nostalgia had a signature scent, it would definitely be from The Body Shop. Anyone who was alive and breathing in the '90s knows what it’s like to be flooded with memories of White Musk’s heady charm or Dewberry’s zesty sweetness. We’re talking about afternoons spent slathering on body butter like it was a religion and bickering over who got the last spritz of that oh-so-precious fragrance. “Sometimes I still get sad thinking I’ll never smell Passionfruit Cleansing Gel again,” confesses InStyle Australia’s Editor-In-Chief Justine Cullen. “It’s easy to laugh at how attached we are to these scents, but let’s not forget that Dame Anita Roddick was a green beauty guru and crusading for cruelty-free products long before it was fashionable.” 

Fast forward nearly 30 years, and The Body Shop is still rocking the boat with its commitment to sustainability and social justice. Sure, they’ve updated their lineup with cutting-edge eco-friendly products and sustainable packaging, but let’s be real – those classic fragrances that defined a decade still have a grip on our hearts (and our noses). So, if you’re itching for a nostalgic whiff or keen to discover their modern spin, here’s how to find these iconic scents, and their fresh, updated cousins, at The Body Shop located on Ground Floor. 

White Musk Eau De Toilette, $49  

When you want to smell like the good old days without actually having to relive them. 

 

Coconut Body Mist, $22  

The same sweet scent as the iconic coconut body butter, without the elbow grease. 

 

Vanilla Eau De Toilette, $24  

Because your vanilla obsession deserves an upgrade from the classic – and devastatingly discontinued – body oil. Luckily this edition is more chic and more intense but still irresistibly sweet. 

 

Glowing Cherry Blossom Fragrance Mist, $22 

The exact same formula as the Japanese Cherry Blossom fragrance you’ve always loved, just with a new name (because even your favourite fragrance deserves a glow-up).
