The Body Shop Moroccan Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Moroccan Rose opens with Spicy Notes, Lemon, and Rose, settles into a heart of Orange and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Vanilla. The Body Shop's Moroccan Rose carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper cult classic, still mourned years after it was cruelly yanked off the shelves. A juicy, spicy rose that sparked obsession in many, even if it did confound others with its green facets. If you know, you know.

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 spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and 'not too strong' nature make it versatile for casual and office wear, though some find it light for longer events. The fresh, romantic rose profile is ideal for dates, but it might lack the gravitas for truly formal occasions.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Moroccan Rose opens with a bright, zesty burst of lemon and warm spices that quickly gives way to a full-bodied, authentic freshly cut rose. Hints of mimosa and orange weave through its heart, adding a touch of soft sweetness and powdery elegance. As it settles, a comforting base of musk, cedar, and vanilla grounds the floral richness, lending a subtle warmth and smooth finish.
