I got this for free from my boyfriend's mother, and personally, I don't like it. I hate the smell of passion fruit, and it lingering on my skin irritates me. However, that's merely just preference. This is a light, moisturizing shower gel. I find it to be something better for summer months, as it's not heavy-duty enough for winter. It cleans good, like most shower gels from The Body Shop. I think normal skin types will do best with this. It's also long-lasting; 250 ml should last you a while. Just, this product wasn't for me, but that shouldn't stop you from trying.

This is my first shower gel from The Body Shop. Bought it on sale so the price was ok. It smells delicious but the smell disappear very quickly. The consistency is otherwise good, it lathers quite well and cleans just like any other gels. It also lasts a very long time even though I use it twice a day. But it´s definitely not worth the real price. I might buy it again on sale but then i will try another scent.

I love this product ! I'm very sensitive to strong smells, i usually do not like coconut or mango smells because they make me sick, but i love passion fruit when it's actually the fruit itself and not a mix. This shower gel smells exactly of passion fruit, not too strong, foamy and soft to the skin. The only CON may be the price but i usually get this during the sales :p

Smells really good and I use it almost every day - doesn't dry my skin out or anything like some other people said it did. However it is really expensive for shower gel and I was given it as a gift - probably wouldn't buy it for myself!

I really love this smell, it works as good as other shower gels and creams . It stay the first place in my favourite shower gel list.
If you also like fruit smell, perhaps u should try this list:
-2 Lush-The olive branch,
-3 TBS-Papaya bubble bath,
-4 TBS-Mango shower gel, -
-5 Lush- Happy hippi,
-6 TBS-Sweet lemon shower gel - just lauched last week)

I have to use meanly the last bottle of this shower gel because The body shop discontinue this serie here :(.

This gel really smells great and it is really easy to rub and foam up. It doesn't make me itchy at all and the scent isn't too extreme so I would recommend it.

I bought this during the boxing day sale so I thought the price was relatively ok. But at regular price it is pretty pricey, i'd recommend it if you are willing to spend this much for just one bottle.

I got this free when I joined TBS membership. I paid lesser for the membership than I would have paid full retail price for this.
Pros:
This smells really great! Light, fruity and relaxing. Even my bf loves to use this!I do not use this on a consistent basis as I save this for special treats, hence can't comment on whether this is drying to use on a long-term basis.
Cons:
For a shower gel, I still find this rather expensive at full retail price.
I will still buy this again, but perhaps only when there is a discount. I just bought the Passion Fruit Body Scrub at a warehouse sale. Will review on that soon!

Passionfruit lathers well, doesn't leave any film behind - but the scent is the best part. It's fruity sweet, but not overly so and it's not perfumey at all. I love this stuff and plan on buying more.

The light scent of this wash makes me feel really happy in the morning, which is great because I hate getting up at 5:30 every day. The scent lingers but not for too long. Doesn't dry my skin out and isn't tested on animals. Also doesn't clash with my perfume. Will repurchase.

I first discovered this body wash when my mother would open the bathroom door after bathing and leave behind this AMAZING tangy/fruity scent. I used a sample of the body wash that she had left in the shower and I was done! It smells soooo good, and doesn't leave behind a film on my skin (I hate that!) It does not dry me out and the scent is light on my skin. Love this! My search is over!

I'm a sucker for shower/ bath products, and I love fruity smells-- so I will buy this stuff AGAIN AND AGAIN. I've tried them all, and this smell is the one that has stuck... I've already re-bought it twice. It smells great in the shower, lightly moisturizes and keep me coming back for more. LOVE THIS! If I had lots of money I'd buy this for everyone I know.

Got this FOC coz I'm their member and accumuluated enough reward stamps for another free gift - was given a choice between papaya, strawberry and passionfruit shower gel. Choose this one ultimately coz it didn't smell overly sweet or strong. And yep, I love it lots! It doesn't dry your skin unlike their strawberry bar soap, yet another gift from a friend, (maybe that's coz its in bar form, which is naturally more drying, but I wouldn't know for sure) and it lathers pretty OK. Only grouse is the packaging - would have loved if it came in a pump-tube.

I am a huge fan of TBS bath/shower gels. So far, I don't think I've really purchased one that I ended up hating. The fragrance that hits you in the store stays true to form - very straightforward, no weird fragrance-"morphing"-into-something-stinky. Usually fragrances in the TBS shower gels are light enough so that you have all this wonderful smell in the shower and bathroom, but later on, you don't reek. Anyhow, the passion fruit shower gel has a fun, tropical scent. It's dyed purple (!), but smells of passion fruit and also a little bit like something else, maybe grapes? I don't know, but it's not "just" lilikoi or any kind of passion fruit that I am used to...nice though! Same level of quality as a bath gel as the others I've reviewed...i.e., nice lather, rinses clean, skin not itchy afterwards. Excellent. :)

It's a really "in your face" kind of scent in the bottle but it's a lot more diluted and fresh in a steamy shower. I like to pair it with the Satsuma scrub. I think passion fruit and satsuma make an awesome pair.
Uhh, it laters nicely too.

The fragrance of this shower gel is really quite nice (but not as nice as Satsuma). I found it to be really drying though, and it even dried out my hands after the bath. I had to mix quite a lot of jojoba oil into the shower gel to lessen its drying qualities. I might just repurchase this again, but I definitely prefer Satsuma Shower Gel to this. :o)
