This is definitely energizing, just as the name says. If you like a fresh engergizing unisex scent, then this is a good one to try. I wouldn't repurchase simply because I prefer a more girly scent.

This is a "must have" for me, especially in summer time. The scent - a mixture of herbal smells with a touch of mint - is so uplifting and refreshing so it's a fixture in my gym bag (a treat after a workout and really something to look forward to) and it's one of my "go to" summer shower gels. Not drying and a nice sensory boost to the psyche! Gotta have this!

This is my all-time favorite body wash. It smells incredible, yet hard to describe--kind of minty but feminine. If you've ever smelled their Madagascar or Rainforest candles, then it kind of smells like those. It's moisturizing but won't make your shower or bathtub slippery. Simply the best.
UPDATE: This is not as good as it was in the past. The fragrance is pleasant but not delicious. I won't be purchasing it again.

I really love this body wash. The smell is really nice but not too strong, if you've used Aveda products before then you'll be familiar with this type of scent. I problems with skin irritations under my arms and I wanted to try something natural and I'm glad I did. This body wash did not irritate my skin and actually seems to calm the redness. I would purchase again for sure!

My favorite body wash to date. It has a minty and refreshing smell but not overpowering. I have oily skin that's prone to bacne and this wash lathers nicely, and gets rid of dirt/sweat/oil without drying my skin. This wash definitely beats Bliss spa's equivalent.

I got this at a Aveda spa for 12.50, the size is 8.5 fl oz. I love this product. I have oily acne prone skin and there are very few scented body washes that i can use that dont break me out and this is one of them. This leaves my dry skin feeling soft and smooth and my oily skin areas like my back clean but hydrated. The smell is something around rosemary mint mixed with spearamint- just like wrigleys chewing gum. This is a great uni-sex body wash my male friends love it but its sweet/minty enough for girls to enjoy too. Mint is my all time top favorite scent and this is my favorite mint body wash. Its worth the money if you dont have dry skin and if you like mint scents. I dont mind paying a certain price for a rare scent. I would highly recommend this as a gift even to males, maybe with the rosemary mint soap bar included.

This stuff smells really, really great and is truly energizing if your olfactory glands are sensitive to smell that way. :) It gives a really creamy and generous lather and is also great for shaving. The only reason I would not repurchase is that it is far too expensive for a body wash. I received this as a birthday gift.

I really love the refreshing scent of this body wash. It's a great pick-me-up in the shower. I got it as a present from my sister. It costs a little more than what I would normally spend on body wash or soap, but I would buy it again, because it's Aveda and they make quality products.

I agree with the previous reviewer, I would buy this ALL the time if I could afford to. It's not outragiously expensive, but more than I'd prefer to spend on a body wash. Anyway...I LOVE the smell! It's, well...energizing. I first used this at an Aveda salon when I showered after a treatment and I just had to get it. It's tingly too. Absolutely adore it.

If I could afford to buy this all the time, I would! I absolutely love this stuff. It smells fantastic and really does perk me up in the morning (especially when I"m hungover!!!). If you don't mind spending a little more on a body wash, I definitely recommend this stuff!

This is my fave Aveda wash. Way superior to the rosemary and mint. This is sweet minty, unlike the rosemary and mint's dry, slightly sour mintiness. A great pep-me-up wash.

My husband discovered it by accident at the Aveda shop--he was rinsing some hair product off his hands at their sink and the SA made him wash with this. He just loved it instantly. Its a clear gel that smells sweet and minty--sort of like mint chewing gum. And as one MUer said, the mint smell disappears after but the "aveda shampoo scent stays". Love sniffing myself after. Leaves your skin tingly, cool and very smooth. It's perfect for my husbands normal skin, but since I have dry skin, I find that I can't use this daily since it dries my skin out.

Rinses clean, smells lovely, a bit expensive.
This is basically Aveda's signature "shampure" scent with some mint thrown in. I love that scent and I love this one. Leaves a subtle scent on my skin after my shower--the mint dissipates but the signature Aveda smell lingers.
A bit pricey, but not as expensive as their shampoos. (I wanted to review this under gels/soaps, but this product had reviews in this category already so I just added mine).

I absolutely love this stuff! It's very minty and refreshing. Really wakes you up! I found it by accident. Just walked into Aveda and started smelling the body washes. I was hoping to love the rosemary mint, but instead, I fell in love with this. It lathers wonderfully. It's a creamy gel so it's not drying. It is costly, but it's all natural-made with ess.oils. You pay $3 less at BBW's for their aromatherapy washes BUT, they still test on animals. So, IMO-the cost is ok. The scent lingers once out of the shower too. I think worth the price, but it is a little costly. Now I need to see if Aveda will custom blend a lotion with this scent. Will buy again and again.

I love Aveda products, and this is no exception. This scrub has a nice, clean, minty smell and does the job nicely. My issue is the price - whoa! I would buy this more often if it were only a few dollars cheaper. As it stands, I'll wait to get it for a gift instead.

I find Aveda products to be overpriced in general and this is no exception. Though the scent would be great in the morning shower, it was way too pricey for a shower gel. Sure it's natural products but then again, you can go to TBS or BBW for that too. Even Lush is cheaper than this! I must admit, it had good lather and it did have a nice minty scent (rather than a fake mint gum one!). I just wish it was more reasonably priced.

I am not a huge Aveda fan, but I had to try the sample I got from the W hotel the last time I stayed there. Boy was I surprised. The scent is a refreshing mint scent- not overly essential oil scented like everything else they have. The gel had tons of lather and slightly tingled my body. I really enjoyed my shower! I give this 5 lipsticks!
