The Body Shop Nigritella is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Nigritella opens with Green Notes, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. The Body Shop's Nigritella carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive yet intriguing, Nigritella is a creamy, sweet floral that has folks split between 'Hypnotic Poison dupe' and 'just another vanilla'. If you're after a cosy, sensual scent that whispers rather than shouts, this might be 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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for closer encounters, ideal for dates or cosy casual settings. It's a touch too sweet and creamy for formal occasions, and certainly not for sport, but its gentle nature won't overwhelm an office environment.

About

Nigritella opens with a subtle lift of bergamot and mandarin, quickly giving way to a heart of rich, creamy white florals. Jasmine and tuberose intertwine with a powdery orchid note, creating an almost edible floral sweetness. The dry down is a warm embrace of vanilla, soft sandalwood, and a comforting musk, lingering intimately on the skin.
