I'm on my third LARGE tub of this! In the summer it's the PERFECT scent. I apply it at night time after a shower, put on a sweat shirt and sweat pants, and the next morning my legs and arms and chest are soft, smooth , and smell AMAZING. It's a light floral scent, It's not too over powering, it's just right. I highly recomend it! But I would give it a sniff at the store first see if the smell's for you!

The moringa scent is one I really adore- it's a sweet floral that reminds me of lilac when I first apply the buttter. The consistency of this is very smooth and rich, and moisturizes my skin well. On me, the scent fades to a subtle floral scent that blends nicely with my jasmine perfume (and would go well with most floral perfumes). My boyfriend dips into this at times and I love smelling it on him as well!

I love this scent so much! I have gone through numerous mini body butters (cause they fit better in my purse) and have been greatly satisfied with moringa. However, whenever I put it on at work or at school a few people walked passed me and said they smelt beer. I can assume they are referring to my scent, I honestly don't smell beer at all, rather a pleasant flowery scent. I have no clue what they are talking about, guess they haven't heard of moringa bb!

Pros:
- Gardenia type fragrance (white flowers)
Cons:
- provides average moisturisation
- consistency is hard to work into skin
Overall the Moringa line was quite nice as I recieived it as a gift, the only reason I would repurchase this product is for the fragrance, however I don't think this body butter does its job for moisturizing as expected. I prefer the shower gel and soap from the Moringa line.

Got a mini-pot as part of a set with other moringa products. I love the scent in the shower gel but I find this cloying and overpowering.
When I use this I can smell it all day, even ten hours later and I'm sure people ten feet from me on the bus probably can too.
Scent aside, the butter is very rich and moisturising but it is expensive and takes ages to absorb as well as leaving a greasy residue.
I'm pretty unimpressed with this product and I wouldn't buy a full sized one.

I've used this for years, it's good value. Moringa is a sweet lingering tropical smell (drives my boyfriend crazy). Because it's butter, it does leave an oily/greasy film. Am only stopping buying this because I'm switching to "purer" even more organic products (which are double the price...)

Best body butter from The Body Shop. It smells great, not strong, but not too invisible. If you're into floral scents, I recommend this one. I also like how it doesn't get all over the place, it's not runny at all, it stays in place, but it's not too hard either. It also moisturizes my skin all day. I'd always get compliments wherever I go about the scent. It would be great if they made a perfume with this scent.

I love Body Shop butters and this is one of my favourites, I like the floral light scent which is not too heavy, I also like the fact this butter is not too thick but then not runny either, the packaging is also very pretty, I have several butters to use up at the moment, but when they are used I will repurchase this one.

Great smell if you like florals like gardenia or tiare. I love THE way this butter smells as it matches my gardenia perfumes from Isabey. Price is ok for such à large box and it is not too thick. Love it !

i love this product. when you first smell it, its a bit overloading and strong. However, i smelt it when my friend was wearing it and was very fresh, floral and pleasant. You could actually repace this with a perfume cause it lasts on your body for about 4 hours.
It is very moisturinsing, it gives your skin a soft, velvety feel.

This is the best body butter I've ever used! It has excellent consistency and is very creamy and makes the skin super soft and silky. I apply it before going to bed, and in the morning the skin feels so smooth! Oh, and it smells gorgeous! A bit pricey but totally worth every penny!

I love this one - its amazing scent, little floral mixed with vanilla. I love The Body Shop body butters but this one was the first body butter I purchased (my first one was a present - Satsuma butter). I use it for my legs, elbows and hands and it moisturizes very well.

I purchased a Groupon for The Body Shop, so I was excited to check out their products. I've never purchased anything in The Body Shop, since my favorite store is Bath & Body Works-where you can get coupons and free items. So I went and explored every scent-this one, right away- I fell in love with. It instantly reminded me of something from my youth, and later I figured it out-- this scent smells like Avon's Vita Moist face cream that my Mom used to wear when I was a kid-- mixed with old time coppertone sun tan lotion- that's what this smells like!!!! I purchased this and the body wash also. When I opened the tub, it didn't seem to be full to the top and it wasn't as dense as other body butters I've tried, but it still moisturizes nicely. I don't find it strong at all, and I love floral scents. This one is my new favorite I'm sorry that I neglected this store for so long! continued >>

I am absolutely in love with the Body Butters from The Body Shop. I wouldn't know what to do without them. I need them, especially during the winter when my skin needs all the moisture it can get. It leaves your skin soft and smooth, it's very moisturizing and absorbs very well and quite quickly.
Moringa may not be my favorite scent. It's quite strong and floral but it lingers so it's not too strong in my opinion. However, it may be a bit too floral. Therefore, I am not sure whether I'd repurchase this particular body butter... I think I'm more interested in trying the other scents I've not tried before instead. continued >>

I loved this through one and a half small tubs until recently, when I think the product went bad, and the smell changed to something quite unbearable, that I had to throw out the remainder. Too bad, but there are much better body butters in this line than this one.

I seem to have a unique love/hate relationship with this body butter! I don't like the smell at all, but it is a staple I can't do without. I know it's not meant for the face, but once while travelling, I forgot my moisturizer and had to make do with this. Have been hooked ever since, and use it as a morning and evening cream now. It seems to hydrate my face for hours at a time. Ever since I started the hot flash phase, I have been struggling to find a moisturizer that doesn't "pill" on my face. This one definitely does not do that and seems to make the skin under my eyes super soft.
