The Body Shop Aqua Lily 2008 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008. Aqua Lily 2008 opens with Mandarin, Pink Pepper, Watermelon, and Apple, settles into a heart of Mignonette, Rose, Violet, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk and Cedar. The Body Shop's Aqua Lily 2008 carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A refreshing, clean aquatic that's perfect for hot weather. It's a divisive one, with some finding it too generic or alcoholic, but fans adore its natural, just-out-of-the-shower vibe. If you love a good watermelon note, this is your jam.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its light, fresh, and aquatic nature makes it ideal for casual wear and even suitable for the office, as it's not overpowering. The weak longevity means it's not ideal for formal events or dates where you need a lasting impression, but it's perfect for a quick refresh during sports or everyday activities.

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Dive into a cool, crisp wave of watermelon and green apple, brightened by a hint of mandarin and a subtle spark of pink pepper. The heart unfurls with a dewy bouquet of lily and lily of the valley, softened by delicate rose and violet. It settles into a clean, airy musk and a whisper of cedar, leaving you feeling fresh and invigorated.
