The Body Shop Swietenia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Swietenia opens with Bergamot, Bitter Orange, and Italian Green Mandarin Orange, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Mahogany, and Beeswax, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vanilla, and Benzoin. The Body Shop's Swietenia carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one is pure orange blossom and sweet vanilla, an uncomplicated crowd-pleaser that some find heavenly and others a bit much. It's a sweet, warm floral that's either comforting or cloying, depending on your skin and tolerance for sugar.

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.

About

Swietenia opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and bitter orange, quickly mellowing into a lush, honeyed orange blossom heart. A rich beeswax note lends a smooth, waxy depth, complemented by hints of warm mahogany. The dry down is a comforting embrace of sweet vanilla and benzoin, grounded by a soft, woody cedar base.
