Kinda liked it initially. But towards the end, it wasn't as good as the first time using it.

I love this scent. Body Shop is having a 75% off sale, so I purchased for $4, and I love it. Very soothing, yet energizing scent that settles very nicely on the skin.

I got this for really cheap, only $6 Canadian for the 50ml bottle at the Boxing week sale (minus 10% with the Love Your Body card), so my opinion might be different if I had paid $35. So far, I really love the scent. It smells fresh and light, and it's not overpowering. Also, it seems to last pretty long on me. All in all, considering the price I paid, and the quality of the product, I am very happy with this purchase.

I agree with the other posters that say that it smells nice but doesn't last long. I'm a big fan citrusy fragrances and I really enjoy the tart lemon smell of this fragrance, but an hour or so after I apply it, it's pretty much gone. If it lasted longer I would repurchase it over and over because it has great potential. But as it is, it costs too much for how long it lasts.

at first dab i was like "mmm! sweet. zippy." and happily walked around the mall, sniffing my wrists and calculating if i could fit a TBS buy into my shopping list. but the inclination stopped dead there because the scent literally DISAPPEARED within oh, 15 minutes! i, again, blame this on my $#@&% body chemistry. those whose has magical chemistry and retain a scent longer than a couple hours should try this though. it's fresh, clean and really happy-inducing. sigh.

I bought this because I thought I would like it, but something about it just doesn't work for me.

Interestingly, the bath and shower cream and the moisturizer work fine for me layered with other citrus fragrances.

I like this perfume because of the cheery, sharp citrusy scent, but it doesnt let its lemon-ness overpower you. Its a great every-day kind of scent, which could totally work for evening too.

Generally, a pretty nice, unobtrusive scent. Smells better after the bright lemon scent (as mentioned below) has dissipated though.

The opening notes of Lemon Tea on me are very Lemon Pledge and the acidity of it never quite dies down on my skin.

It starts out a stridant bright lemony acidic scent. After about 15-20 minutes, the tea smell starts really coming out and then after approximately an hour it mellows as a darker note emerges and renders it to the pretty much identical smell of Lancome's Aroma Tonic, minus that one's famous lasting power.
This is a well-done if a bit simplistic fragrance that comes packaged in a minimalistic tall rectangular clear glass bottle with a matte gold atomizer. The bottle is packaged in a cardboard cylinder with vaguely Indian art on it. This retails for $35 in Canada and is part of TBS's new "higher end" fragrance line.

This is a tangy lemon scent that makes you feel as if the tip of your tongue just touched a freshly cut lemon. It is tart and fresh and dries down to a very sensual light lemony musk.

The smell is great in the bottle, but around an hour after you apply it, it fades to kind of a lemon dish soap smell. After two hours, it's gone completely. I've been enjoying it by reapplying many times throughout the day, but I wouldn't purchase this again.

I love this perfume so much. This is my signature perfume !Wonderful! Even my mother who has the sensory allergy but still asked me where I bought this perfume becasue it was so nice. Everytime when I apply on it, I feel so happy, it makes my mood feels soooo good. I buy 2 bottles at the same time as I am so afraid if this perfume being discontinued. If I used up the first bottle, I will buy the third bottle immediately.

Overall, I love this, but I expected better staying power for an EDP. Still, being citrus-based, it's to be expected that the longevity is not the best.


Lemon tea is not lemon and tea tree. It is lemon tea. I live in Australia, the home of tea tree and tea tree oil, and I can say with confidence (I once did scientific research on tea tree, so I know what it smells like) that there is not a trace of tea tree in here.


I'm an iced tea fanatic and when I heard of this I knew I had to have this.


I have no idea how much this costs because I got a friend to CP a bunch of Body Shop products from Malaysia for me and just paid him for the lot. I'm in Australia, where they don't have this fragrance. :(


Lemon Tea has notes of Italian lemon tea, some kind of crushed leaves (possibly lemon leaves) and some woody notes which are supposedly cedar, though I can't discern the individual base notes.


Lemon Tea also contains "rose, black Assam tea, green Chinese tea and musk" according to the 2004 Beauty Pages by Thea Garland.


All I smell is my beloved lemon tea and green leaves, but that's good enough for me! I also find myself reaching for iced tea when I wear this. :)


This is a wonderful summer scent, though not a "must-have" like O de Lancome, IMO. If you want something lighter, give this a try, if you can find it.


I've just read there is supposed to be a LT perfume oil! I must get my friend to check it out for me...

I was pleasantly surprised to find a scent that I could wear and like at the Body Shop. To my surprise the is a very nice lemon with a little bit of herbal scent. I think of this as my summer scent but still have managed to reach for this deep into the fall season. This scent makes me feel happy - I might as well wear it all year.

My local Body Shop in Portland, OR just had a remodel, so I decided to stop in. At first, I was excited about the pink peppercorn, but after spritzing it on, didn't like it as much as I'd hoped. I saw the lemon tea next to it and decided to try it on the other wrist. Wow- nicely blended tea scent, not too sharp with the citrus. Just right!

This is a very light fragrance, I love it~! Very refreshing, feel like I'm relaxing under a lemon tree on a hot summer day. May be cuz I love lemon ice-tea as well. This is an amazing new line.. the Only bad part is it makes me constantly crave lemon tea~!!

Part of a collection of five new perfume sprays comprising "Lemon Tea", "Magnolia", "Passion Flower", "Pink Pepper" & "Indian Gardenia". Am not sure whether these are limited edition. LT is a surprisingly good tea-based lemon. The citrus note is understated & blended well with the tea. Very pleasing. Infact I reckon it's almost as good as the tea perfumes in Molinard's "Autour du The" series. The only other one which appeals to me is the Magnolia. I don't like the others for some reason.
