I think I have a love/hate relationship with this. When I got it I was expecting a "fresh" strawberry scent. It smells more like a strawberry eraser...but at the same time I CANT STOP PUTTING IT ON. Then after about 15 min I think I smell like an eraser haha. I bought the small jar and it really does moisturize really well for me. I am pregnant and slather this all over my bell too. Just can't decide if I want more of not....

I am a huge fan of The Body Shop butters and I recieved this one discounted due to being such a regular customer at my local Body Shop. It smelled great when I sniffed it at the store and I was excited to try it out. I got home and after a bath went to apply it and found it very hard to scoop out of the tub. It has a strange texture that made me practically have to dig my fingernails in to get it out. Note that not all the body butters (rose for example) have this consistancy. Anyway, like all TBS butters this is a good moisturizer but I find the smell too overwhelming when I use it for my entire body. I have about five different butters from TBS at any given time and find myself only using this one for my hands, elbows and knees after using the strawberry body polish. I can't take much more scent than that, esp since the smell lingers on my clothes hours later. Will probably not purchase this again but stick to the other body butters.

At first when I tried this in the store, it was love at first whiff. My boyfriend - who loves the scent of strawberries - also encouraged me to buy it, so I did. The body butter goes on like a dream, smooth and even, and moisturizes throughout the day. But... and here comes the deal breaker for me... the scent is too penetrating in the long run. It doesn't smell 100% natural, either. Forget fresh strawberries, forget strawberry jam... this is a synthetic smell. I still use it occasionally and sparsely, but I'd never buy it in the first place knowing that the scent would get on my nerves this much. Kudos for the moisturizing properties, though.

The thing I love most about this stuff is that it really smells like strawberries, doesnt smell artifical at all like some strawberry products can. It's so thick, you scoop it out of the container like ice cream! And it makes my skin so smooth. I would buy it again.

If u want the smell of fresh strawberries, than this product is not necessarily for you, but I love the smell of strawberries and this smells FANTASTIC!
I would suggest smelling it @ the store to c if it is right for you, but if it isn't, there are plenty more scents that you will love! :)

i hated this, for some reason the smell isnt that appealing. it smelled like one of those strawberry scented plastic ruler. ickkkk. it made my skin even drier than it already is.

100 % yum! (not the best hydrater though..)

The first body butter from the body shop I ever bought. Because of the smell I bought it right away and the first day I was in love ^^ It feels nice on the skin and after a few days I could feel the difference.
It doesn't smell JUST AS strawberries but it still smells nice, but can get too much after using it everyday.
I might buy it again when the season feels right.

No matter how much I like the smell of strawberries, there can be too much of a good thing… this body butter is a borderline case for me. On the one hand, the scent is quite enjoyable but on the other hand, it is too much. It's a very artificial strawberry scent after all. It's not the most moisturizing body butter out there either. I'll use the rest of my mini jar, and try to enjoy the scent as much as I can. Don't think I'll re-purchase.

The strawberry scent smells artificial and spoiled
I grabbed the container that stood upright in the light, so when I opened the container, all the butter was melted on one side.
I wish I didn't buy this.
