Midnight Bakula
Body Shop (2010)

I've stated in other reviews that I have better luck with Bath & Body Works bath products than I do with their edt's. The same applies to The Body Shop.

I ordered the edt because I came across the shower gel at a clearance bin (shocker, I know!) at TJMaxx and adored it. But the edt was another story.

I would have to add "plum" to the fragrance pyramid, and it is a loud, ripe one that overpowers the patchouli and rose, tipping it into gourmand territory.

This edt is a powerhouse-- the plum makes it too cloying for me, but its projection is impressive nonetheless. Not recommended as a blind buy unless you like big, linear patchouli gourmands.
