Then you might like this cleaning range from Fabulousa I found in B&M.

You can get that from Archer's Peach Schnapps.

Strangely, I never did want to drink any more than the very first taste of it. But I smelled exactly the same.

Peachee · 21/09/2023 23:01

Any white musk knocking about?

GrimGrinningGhosts · 21/09/2023 23:03

Fabulous are amazing at the moment. They have a soap and glory scented range as well which is gorgeous.

Allschoolsareartschools · 21/09/2023 23:03

Oh White Musk was my favourite for years! I wonder if it smells the same, off to B&M soon I think...

They had that too. But fuzzy peach was what I wore back then. I love how the packaging is reminiscent of the old style. The names are all one letter out, and there is no mention of Body Shop but anyone of the right age will know it straight away.

Oh 80s Body Shop Dewberry I do miss you! (Well I miss me being young really)

Its5656 · 21/09/2023 23:06

I was in Tkmaxx last week and they also sell Bodyshop sprays.

StrikeItMucky · 21/09/2023 23:18

Shut up!!.....no prizes for guessing where I'll be at the wkend!
Thanks for the heads up OP, I definitely need these in my life! Did you smell them all? If so, do they really smell like the original products?😊

I only smelled the fuzzy peach, which was exactly like it. I don’t remember dewberry or white musk well enough.

At the risk of sounding like an ad it was only 89p a bottle!

@NeverDropYourMooncup

Just as well I'm not a drinker or I would be off to get some Shock

Luckingfovely · 21/09/2023 23:47

I still miss that blue shampoo which was the mintiest, most awakening thing I've ever experienced. Made your hair turn into straw immediately of course, but such a joy to use!Grin

MumblesParty · 21/09/2023 23:48

The Body Shop still do white musk, I’ve been using it for 40 years. It’s vegan now though but smells pretty much the same.

Ah I had completely forgotten ice blue shampoo, which for reason also gave me a meme pet of cucumber water - I lived the smell of that

VenusClapTrap · 22/09/2023 00:15

Awww Fuzzy Peach and Dewberry. Happy days.

Nomorecoconutboosts · 22/09/2023 00:23

I remember walking up to the door of a Body Shop late one night (decades ago, on a night out) and sniffing the doors - the smell of dewberry etc wafted out. Not as intense as Lush is now, but still strong. The middle bit where the doors closed.

Mummyoflittledragon · 22/09/2023 02:43

I had a Saturday job in the body shop in the 80s. That was the crème de la crème of Saturday jobs. Thanks for the heads up.

lifesrichpageant · 22/09/2023 04:11

has anyone found an "Oceanus" analog? I still miss it!

If The Body Shop had an ounce of sense they’d do a retro range.

I loved The Body Shop stuff back in the day and thought I spelled gorgeous and my sister told me it smelt like Bears Piss, always wondered how she knew how Bears urine smelt. Also agree with someone above who said they should do a retro range.

Ooh! I’m a Dewberry girl. As a teenager I met the girl whose parents ran our local BS shop and I was starstruck, I thought it was so glam.
About a decade ago Body Shop did a pillow spray that smelt absolutely gorgeous- I’ve never found anything like it.
