Bring back Milk Bath!

SliceofTosst · 27/01/2026 21:49

I loved the original rose perfume. When they stopped doing it with the oil dropper it changed the lovely smell.

MrTwisterHasABlister · 27/01/2026 21:50

Oh no! This is bad news - this and the horrific White Musk can get straight in the bin 🤢

Pineapple Face Mask was brilliant though.

YY to this!

Aw Wowsers. Doubt I will buy any - don’t want my memories tainted if it turns out to the vile, lol.

I wonder if next Christmas we’ll all be getting those weird little baskets with shredded purple paper in the bottom with shower gel and soap and bath pearls? You’d always find them at car boot sales covered with clingfilm with burst oily bath pearls and the soap had gone all white and scratched .
I did like the body shop but I preferred its slightly later version , when they brought out the kids range with satsuma bubbles and licorice bubbles, and squidgy soap.
And then in the late 90s , early 2000s when they brought out some brilliant make up items . They used to do a chalky pearlized eyeshadow that looked iridescent white in the palette, but when layered over eyeliner turned metallic green like dragonfly wings. God it was cool. and those swirly pearls that were a kind of guerlain dupe. We used to go in a grab a few to crush from the tester as teenagers to bronze ourselves up in the club on a Saturday night! Ahhh memories ❤️
And remember you could book in for a free makeover for a night out? That was lovely.

Blimey, that's a blast from the past.

Ice blue shampoo please, I'd love that to come back!

BundleOfChimneys · 27/01/2026 22:07

I have been searching for a decent alternative to the pineapple face wash for years and failed.

I really hope they bring back the original White Musk. The vegan version just doesn't have the same depth to it and after decades of wearing it I stopped because it was a waste of money.

I wouldn't hold your breath for the Dewberry, they've probably arsed that up as well by making it vegan.

Bodyshop has always been vegetarian though? I can't see how much difference that would've made to musk.
And.. they have scaled back their veganism.

I'm maybe being thick here, but what could dewberry have in it that isn't vegan?

I remember dewberry at the body shop, but can’t remember what it smelt like. Can anyone describe it?

They removed honey from the recipe which changed the perfume.

Was that the powder stuff in the cloth bag?? I loved that! Around 1998/9 they had a gardenia one and it was glorious.

Please let Ananya be next.

The original white musk contained honey (apparently) which was removed in the newer vegan version. Maybe the original Dewberry also contained honey?

Honestly, if they just reverted back to their original model and products the business would flourish. Us Gen X/millennials would start shopping there again for nostalgias sake and they would get a whole new generation of teens who would LOVE that stuff.

I would love to get my hands on one of their burgundy velvet scrunchies again. I loved that thing.
And their woody sandalwood essential oil. Heaven.

I actually emailed them suggesting this last year and got a reply basically telling me that nobody thought it was a good idea.
I still say it would make them so much money because we'd all be out immediately spending a fortune.

evilharpy · 27/01/2026 22:39

I can't get too excited about this as Jubilee do a decent dupe (they have an Ananya one too I think). However if they bring back ice blue shampoo I will be very happy indeed.

AgentPidge · 27/01/2026 22:42

I loved Dewberry! Mmmmm

AngryLikeHades · 27/01/2026 22:46

I found out about 2 years ago that I could get my Dewberry scent from Amphora essential oils.
Just in case anyone needs an alternative.

Couldn't agree more with you guys. As a teen in the 90's, me and friends loved treating ourselves to their lovely things. The smaller sizes were budget friendly and felt like real luxury to us.

Another thing I'd love to see again is the Dove Original scent bath foam and body wash. Absolutely loved the smell.

Shellythesnail2333 · 27/01/2026 22:53

Bloody hell Dewberry was strong! I remember putting on lots of testers of the bodyshop perfume oils, when in town, and could still smell them hours later. Loved all the fruity smells in there :)

Yes - my mother could. It smelt like ‘sweaty flannels’ apparently! Or at least it did on me, just as I was half out the door on a big night ‘out out’.

I remember it more fondly as a fruity/berry smell, quite heady and ‘full’ if that makes sense. Like a mash up of strawberries, blackberries, raspberries. Loads of people hated it and complained it gave them a headache (was in the days of Poison and other powerful smells).

Wjdbxb · 27/01/2026 22:57

I so agree that they should go back to their 90s heyday. I would buy everything! I feel like Gen Z would love it too.

Mostly Face Wash from Lush is a slightly reformulated version of one of the old TBS face washes (I presume the Mostly Men one - I’m pretty sure it smells identical to one that my dad used to have from there) and it’s really lovely stuff. I don’t like Lush’s politics much so avoid them in general these days, but make an exception for this.

catin8oot5 · 27/01/2026 22:58

Fuzzy peach was amaaaazing. Better than dewberry

Ninarina · 28/01/2026 03:09

ANANYA was the most delicious scent, I doused myself in it

Agreed! 🤣

It was certainly VERY STRONG !😊
