Mmm, I have been using Satsuma products for years, and if The Body Shop should ever discontinue them, I will stock up on the lotion. Granted, it is not the most moisturizing lotion, but it is one of the best-smelling. Based on the delicious scent of the Japanese Satsuma, a mild but sweet mandarin orange, the lotion is one of my nighttime staples, as its relaxing scent never fails to both clear my head and relax me.

I am a huge citrus scent nut! This one hit the spot. It is a refreshing yet mild mandarin scent. I picked up the glycerin soap, lotion, body wash and body scrub. This is a real favorite for me thats for sure. I love it so much and am afraid they will discontinue it like TBS tends to do often. NOVEMBER 2008 UPDATE: I HAD COLLECTED SEVERAL BOTTLES OVER THE YEARS TO REALIZE I WAS JUST GIVING THEM AWAY AND BUYING MORE WHENEVER I WANDER BACK INTO THE SHOP BECAUSE THE SMELL IS JUST SO DELICOUS TO ME. I AM STILL A FAN OF CITRUS SCENTS ESPECIALLY MANDARIN AND GRAPEFRUITS BUT THE ACTUAL SATSUMA LOTION IS TO GREASY. IT DOESNT SINK INTO MY SKIN. IT SITS AND I JUST FEEL GROSS. I JUST END UP WIPING IT OFF. SO AS FOR THE REST OF MY STASH IM LEAVING THEM IN THE SHOWER AND AM GOING TO USE THEM UP AS A SHOWER LOTION TIL ITS GONE. I WONT BE BUYING THE LOTIONS FROM TBS ANYTIME SOON CAUSE THE FORMULA JUST SUCKS. I STILL LOVE THE SATSUMA SCENT SO ILL STICK WITH THE HOME FRAGRANCE OIL AND SHOWER GEL.

This is a true orange/mandarin scent. I love it. Very exhilarating, refreshing scent. Not sweet or sour. Just right.

I would buy this for the scent alone. A wonderful orangey fragrance and also a really nice cream. It sinks right in and i love it for my legs. It is not the best as far as moisturizing, my legs get a little dry the next day when I use it at night, but for the smell, it's worth it.

It has a good orangy scent to it. It's a good price too. It comes in a simple bottle which is okay. The only problem is that it doesn't moisturize well. It just disappers and does nothing but leave the scent. That's the reason why I won't buy this again.

This is a lovely lotion. It's the perfect scent to layer with citrus fragrances, especially Clinique Happy. It's rich, but not greasy, and it is very fragrant. I also like the cheerful orange color of the lotion itself. You could wear this and skip fragrance if you wanted. The price is not bad, especially for the quality of the lotion.

If you haven't already smelled this you should get into your car and drive to a body shop near you .
It is a delicious sweet orangey smell that almost anyone will love.
