I
Iaire
A pure floral composed of notes from cyclamen, freesia, carnations, lotus and white lilies, with musky and woody undertones. Light, airy and calming. If you are fond of Issey Miyake's L'Eau D'Issey, you will find Iaire to be remarkably similar.
Impulsive
Featuring a heart of sweet citrus, Impulsive blends top notes of pink grapefruit and mandarin, middle floral notes of sweet white clover, lily of the valley and white orchid, and base notes of warm musk, white amber and cotton wood. A close complement to Kenneth Cole's Reaction. This is a clearance scent.
Iris Florentina
A core note in many a famous perfume, iris is an outstanding floral that you will likely recognize in many fragrances once you have smelled it. Since ancient times, the iris has been a symbol of power and majesty. Egyptians placed the iris on the sceptre of their rulers and the three leaves in its blooms symbolized faith, wisdom and valor. The French kings adopted the fleur-de-lis as their heraldic symbol, which is in fact a stylized depiction of the iris. Also known as orris, irises have some similarities to violets but its aroma is richer, deeper and less fleeting. An unforgettable floral.

Island Plumeria
Plumeria, also known as frangipani, is a tropical bloom known for its outstanding perfume. A lot of people associate this beautiful floral scent with Hawaii, and no wonder! Plumeria is one of the most often used flowers in Hawaii’s famous leis.

Jack Frost
Vanilla and mint, what a combo! Sweet and creamy, yet fresh at the same time. Similar to the Yankee's Candle favorite.

A synergistic fusion of fresh jasmine flowers and vanilla. Soft, relaxing and harmonious. If you like the Jasmine Vanilla in Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy line, chances are you'll like this one too.
Just Musk
This feminine musk is sweet, sexy and clean all at once. If you like Jovan Musk for Women or musk in general, then you have to try Just Musk. This scent is perfect for a romantic night out. Simply seductive!

Jadiora
A radiant blend of orchids, Damascus plum, Amarante wood and musk that should be in the shopping cart of any lover of Christian Dior's J'Adore.

Kashmir Noire
Inspired by the warm and luxurious softness of cashmere, this is a fragrance that mimics the same feeling of well-being in the olfactory sense. With notes of saffron, masala spices, clove, nutmeg, pimento berries, white pepper, broom flower, patchouli, rose, incense, and bois de miel. Fans of Donna Karan's Black Cashmere should want to wallow in this sophisticated indulgence.
Kimono
Kimono is a more informal interpretation of the discontinued Shiseido fragrance, Zen. On a base of exotic woods composed of sandalwood, cedar, birch and horse chestnut, Kimono has a heart of green cypher and moss, balanced by sweet florals such as jasmine, iris and plum blossom. An exotic and sensual fragrance.
Kon Tiki Custard
Thor Heyerdahl probably would much rather have eaten this while sailing to the South Pacific aboard his raft, Kon Tiki, rather than his rations. Think of The Body Perfumery's Kon Tiki Custard as a delicious crossing of a traditional french crème brulee, a cup of Indian masala chai, ripe juicy mangoes, pineapples, creamy coconut and the most concentrated Tahitian vanilla you can think of, all on a bed of precious dark teakwood. The result? An off-the-charts creamy/sweet/spicy gourmand scent with a tropical twist.

La Principessa
How many of us have entertained dreams of being a princess? Probably more than we are willing to admit. Whether you are still in the closet about them or way out in the open, The Body Perfumery's La Principessa will let your fantasies take flight. Coming straight to you from fairytale land, La Principessa is a lustrous fruity floral with a gourmand influence, combining soft waterlillies with apple, clementine, apricot skin, pink guava, tahitian gardenias, mimosa, tuberose and musk on a golden throne of amber, dark chocolate, and vanilla frosting. Still of two minds about this scent? Here's the clincher: If you like Vera Wang's Princess, you will like La Principessa. Romantic and playful, this delightful scent will make you feel like a princess with all willing to do your bidding (because you smell so good!)
La Vie En Rose
La Vie En Rose, the timeless love song of the sung by Edith Piaf, begins this way:
Des yeux qui font baisser les miens (The eyes that make mine lower)
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche (A laughter that gets lost on his mouth)
Voilà le portrait sans retouches (There is the portrait without retouchings)
De l'homme auquel j'appartiens (Of the man which I belong to)
As a tribute to this song, The Body Perfumery's La Vie En Rose blends the seductive scent of dark crimson roses, sweet milk, vanilla with a hint of honeyed almonds.
Lavender Poundcake
A blend of lemon poundcake and lavender essential oil that treads the line between foody and herbal perfectly. While this is not a dupe of Philosophy's Lavender Poundcake, don't let that deter you. In our humble opinion, this is even better.
Leather
If your first thought when you saw this scent is "ooooh, spank me! ", then this fragrance is for you. The scent of soft, buttery leather is bottled here, be it of a new leather jacket or the leather seats in a Mercedes. Great as a blender to add a little "Grrrr" to your custom scent, as a room spray, or in all products for leather lovers.
Lemon Meringue
Just like that lightly sweet and refreshing filling of a lemon meringue pie, made of lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs and sugar. Keep winter doldrums or cloying summer heat at bay with this lemony fresh dessert treat. If you like Tutti Dolci's Lemon Meringue, then not only will you enjoy this scent, you will also love these fragrances on our catalog: Angel Food Cake, Chocolate Fondue, Cinnamon Frosting, Mango Sorbetto, Pineapple Clouds, Raspberry Granita and Sugar Wafer.)
Lemon Verbena
Made with a variety of lemon oils, this effervescent blend will wake and brighten you up like no other. With sparkling top notes of lemon, with a touch of lime and peach, on top of a base of rose, geranium, and green lemon leaves, The Body Perfumery's Lemon Verbena will leave any fan of L'Occitane's Lemon Verbena replete with satisfaction.
Lemongrass Fizz
Lemongrass with a touch of sweet vanilla is blended with something extra fizzy to tickle your senses. This fragrance is an exotic, zesty delight! If you like Star Boutique's Thai-tini fragrance, Lemongrass Fizz is your kind of scent.
Lilac
This magnificent floral must be smelled to be believed. A core component of many famous perfumes, these aromatic flowers give off a perfume that is univerally well- liked. Whether buying a gift for someone else or for yourself, you can't go wrong with this fragrance. Don't have lilac flowers in bloom? Fake it.
Lily of the Valley
A strong, true re-creation of one of the most fragrant flowers of spring. Lily of the Valley, also known as muguet, is delightful as a single note perfume. This phenomenon must be smelled to be believed!
Lime Sugar
Zesty lime burnished with brown sugar with hints of lemon peels and bergamot. For those of you who love lime but want something not too tart, give Lime Sugar a try. It'll be hard to resist slathering this one all over.
Linden Green Tea
A green, spa-like scent, Linden Green Tea starts off with herbal notes of green tea and vetiver, and combines them with notes of orange blossom, ginger, lemon and a breath of linden blossoms. If the color green can be expressed in a fragrance, this might be it.
Living
Our version of J. Lo's Live fragrance is a sweet, fruity indulgence combining notes of orange, lemon, pineapple and red currants with the scent of violets and peonies on a base of sandalwood, vanilla and musk. Very bright, cheerful and full of fun, this fragrance is a poster child for the motto "Life is for living." A sniff of this will blow any unhappy thoughts out of your head!
Lost in the Labyrinth
This is a sensuous and elaborate olfactory labyrinth of cherries, fresh grass, warm woods, incense and resins, luscious amber, vanilla, almonds and soft musk. You may smell different things in this scent depending on your mood. Altogether quite magical: ethereal and whimsical at times, and mysterious and seductive in other circumstances. Truly a scent that you can get lost in! If you are a fan of People of the Labyrinth's Luctor et Emergo, this scent should be right up your alley.
Love Comes Softly
This is a scent that can accompany you from your morning commute to a night out on the town. With notes of green mandarin, bergamot, green apple martini and lavender, and a heart of patchouli, orchid, and narcissus is layered over white amber, red cedar and sensuous musk. An adaptable and chic fragrance that bears a striking resemblance to Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely.
Lychee Fruit
Lychee, also spelled Lichee, is a fruit of Chinese origins, with a thick rough red skin, sweet translucent flesh and a brown seed core. This fragrance embodies the fruity, floral nuance of the Lychee fruit. The delicious notes of citrus, rose, jasmine and violet with a musk undertone will make your mouth water.
|
Lady of Tangier
A scent that can easily grace the throats of the graceful and mysterious veiled women of Tangier, releasing alluring wisps of sweet peaches, spices, lush florals, rich musk and sandalwood.
Luv U
An effervescent, happy, spontaneous scent bursting with white grapefruit, lemons, blood orange and red currant at the top, tempered by cool greens in the middle and exotic woods, musk and tonka bean in the base. Frilly, fresh and fun. If you like Moschino's I Love Love fragrance, you will most probably like this scent as well.
Lait Sucre
This fragrance is a delectable blend of sugar, vanilla pods and rich milk. Super creamy and buttery, it's impossible to resist. Possibly better than a real mug of sweet hot milk with vanilla! A perfect choice if you are a fan of Comptoir Sud Pacifique's Calin Matin. (If you are looking for a less heavy or rich milk scent, be sure to take a look at our Sweet Milk fragrance.)
Lavender (Essential Oil)
Good old Lavender, straight up! Made with lavender essential oil, which has a sharp astringent quality, the scent is extremely true and authentic. This oil is also good for minor scalds and burns and in alleviating headaches and nausea due to lavender essential oil's many healing properties. (Lavender essential oil is an extremely potent component in custom blends and is not recommended at a usage rate of more than 5% without overwhelming other scent components). Note: Those who are pregnant should use essential oils only after consulting with their physicians.
Lavender Coconut
A lovely blend of fresh lavender petals infused with soft coconut milk. Enchanting, relaxing, calming, inviting, and a bit sexy! Reformulated April 2007
Lavender Vanilla
Lavender has long been a staple of aromatherapy. With qualities that soothe and relax, Lavender is joined by vanilla in this fragrance and this duo is a time-honored combination that will smooth your cares away.
Lemon Extreme
Real pure lemony goodness, made with a good dose of lemon essential oil from Argentina. Household detergents have given lemon a bad name but The Body Perfumery’s Lemon Extreme will banish any aversions you may have to this awakening and cheerful citrus delight.
Lemon Poundcake
This most edible of our lemon fragrances, Lemon Poundcake is a mouth-watering blend of lemon, angel food cake and vanilla. The sharp citrusy scent of lemon contrasts perfectly with the warm sweetness of cake and vanilla. One of the most popular foody scents around here.
Lemon Sugar
This addictive fragrance of fresh lemons and sweet sugar contains top notes of essential oil of Italian bergamot, yuzu, mandarin, and lychee flower, a middle of orange blossom and ginger flower, and base notes of oakmoss, caramel, and white sandalwood. Sweet and just a smidge tart, just like a tall glass of sweet lemonade. If you like Fresh's Lemon Sugar, The Body Perfumery's Lemon Sugar definitely belongs in your shopping cart.

A cross between a full-blown lily at the height of its intoxicating fragrance and a juicy summer sweet cantaloupe. Match in heaven? Surely you'll utter a resounding "yes!" once you catch a whiff of this addictive fruity floral.
Lime Kiwi Sorbetto
Green lime, sweet kiwi and a touch of juniper berries and eucalyptus in an icy blend that will cool you down pronto like an air conditioner turned on high. Not too sweet and very fresh.
Lime Margarita
This vibrant fragrance combines tart lemon, sweet green lime and mellow Mexican agave. This feisty scent comes with a tequila kick! So genuine you can even smell the rim of salt around the glass.
Linden Blossoms
Linden is a single-note floral that was popular in Europe (think Unter den Linden in Berlin or the linden trees in the poems by Goethe) long before it made it over here. This scent is a dupe of the linden offered by Fresh, and unlike most florals you are probably used to, it doesn't have the typical flowery sweetness. Green and fresh, with a crispy edge that's almost but not quite spicy, our Linden Blossoms combines bergamot with a heart of rose, geranium, jasmine, muguet, and ylang ylang. Bottom line? Floral haters, maybe even you can be lured with this fragrance.
Londinium
Who would have guessed that this lonely Roman outpost in the British Isles would have turned into the bustling cosmopolitan metropolis called London today? Londinium is a fragrance epitomizing an independent and confident urban lifestyle. Casually elegant with notes of clementine, honeysuckle, rose, tiare flower, jasmine, peony, sandalwood, patchouli and musk. Don't hesitate to give Londinium a try if you like Burberry's London.
London Lemon Curd
Traditionally, lemon curd was served as a spread for scones at English afternoon tea. A delicious tart, soft, thick, spreadable cooked cream, it has more lemon juice and zest and a more buttery taste than lemon filling. This wonderful fragrance is sweetened with real vanilla, to balance the tartness of the pure lemon, sprinkled with a hint of sugar and with notes of lemongrass, litsea cubea, and orange oil.
Luminous
This floral perfume has lily as a strong dominant note, supported by rose, musk, orange blossom and jasmine. A quick way to tell whether you will like this perfume: If you like Jennifer Lopez's Glow, you will love Luminous. This is a clearance scent.

Mad for Marshmallows
The sweet delicious scent of these fluffy white confections will tempt you to take out a spoon to eat our creations. (But please resist!) Those of you who long for Philosophy's Melting Marshmallow Souffle, why not buy our excellent version instead and save a bundle? Amazing in our body butter, body lotion and body wash.
Madrigal
Madrigals are songs for two or three unaccompanied voices that were developed in Italy in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. Inspired by the simplicity and beauty of these compositions, The Body Perfumery has blended the trio of creamy gardenias, sweet myrrh and spicy cardamom, rounded out by a sprinkle of frankincense and peppercorn, into a fragrance that like madrigals, is a joy to the senses.
Magnolia Belle
This Southern belle is more multi-faceted than you think. The glorious and intoxicating fragrance of a blooming white magnolia dominates, but should you possess special nasal acuity, you might also detect hidden hints of grapefruit, orange, ylang ylang, hyacinth, freesia, tuberose, muguet, plum, vanilla and musk peeking around this belle's hoop skirts. Even Scarlett O'Hara would be impressed.
Mandarin Green Tea
Mandarin, bergamot and other citrus notes accentuates a core of green tea with a touch of sparkling ginger root. Fans of Annick Goutal's Eau de Sud or Eau de Hadrien should find this scent equally intriguing.
Mango Lassi
A traditional Indian fruit and yogurt drink that is absolutely delicious! Our olfactory version combines notes of ripe juicy mangoes with rich cream, rounded out with a hint of honey and pineapples.
Mango Macadamia Nut
This tropical indulgence mixes the sweet nectar of sun-ripened mango and peach with the distinct scent of crunchy toasted macadamia nuts. One sniff will have you thinking, "Hawaii, here I come!" Delectable, addictive and one of our top 10 scents.

Mango Tea
If you are a tea lover like myself, then even the whiff of tea calms you down and lowers your blood pressure. This scent is a fusion of sweet island mango and black Ceylon tea, with underlying notes of pineapple, clementines, vanilla bean, and white musk. Fruity sophistication in a bottle. This is a clearance scent.
Maple Violets
A unique blend of sugar maple and wood violets that will appeal to both floral and gourmand lovers. This fragrance has the distinctive sweetness of maple sugar that is mellowed by the clean floral scent of wood violets. Worth a try if you are looking to stray off the beaten path.
Mayan Gold

Spicy florals dance with dark truffle, vanilla, incense, ylang ylang, bergamot, sandalwood and fruit accords.
Midwinter's Night
Ah, the smell of a midwinter's night in the country! This woodsy fragrance is warm and smoky, and blended with tangy fruits and pines for that crisp cleaness of winter night air.
Mint Julep
Fresh and icy sweet, this mint julep will sneak up on you like the real thing. Mint julep is made from a blend of mint syrup, ice and bourbon. The last time I had one of these (at Oak Alley, the famous Louisiana plantation house), I underestimated the amount of bourbon that was in the drink and well, let's just say that it felt *great* going down and just leave it at that. This scent, sans the bourbon, will remind you of just how refreshing a tall cool glass of mint julep can be.
Moroccan Mint
This is scrumptious blend of spearmint, peppermint and corn mint, with just a touch of black tea to provide a stable, full bottom note is as cool and crisp as a breeze in a hot desert. Sure to become one of your favorites.
Ms. Poison
Darkly dramatic and slightly sinister, this fragrance is not for the timid. Ms. Poison, our interpretation of Christian Dior's Poison, is a femme fatale in a bottle. Ms. Poison is sweetly daring, spicy to a fault, and did I mention bold? With notes of coriander, pimento, anise, orange blossom and vanilla, Ms. Poison is both luscious and lethal. Someone you want to be? Oh yes. At least behind closed doors.
Musc de Narcisse
If you are a musk lover, be sure to try Musc de Narcisse. This well rounded and perfectly balanced musk is just right in every dimension. Musc de Narcisse is a scent that is timeless, warm and extremely sensual. Fans of Narciso Rodriguez For Her (and we feel compelled to mention that a 0.34oz perfume roll-on by this designer sells for USD$62 at Nordstroms and is identical in size to The Body Perfumery's perfume roll-ons), you are put on notice!
My Luscious Lychee
Combining the distinctive sweet, clear nectar of lychees with the green freshness of palm leaves and a touch of vanilla, this luscious fragrance spotlights the scent of this most delicious asian fruit. A serious contender for the "I have no idea what this fruit is but I absolutely love it!" category.
|
Madagascar Vanilla Orchid

Magic Hour

This is a pungent, exotic blend with notes of black pepper, elemi, nutmeg, ginger, juniper berries, clary sage, sandalwood, ylang ylang, cypress and musk.
Mandalay Plantation
A scent that will put you in mind of an old Southern plantation house, with two-hundred year old trees dripping with Spanish moss and wreathed in the narcotic haze of fragrant tuberose planted by the lady of the house. An enchanting floral anchored by moss, rosewood and mahogany.
Mandarin Martini
A bubbly concoction with top notes of mandarin, grapefruit, sweet orange and tangerine, and middle notes of passionfruit, black currant, and ginger. Very fizzy!
Mango Mandarin
This fragrance is absolutely irresistible. It is a unique blend of freshly sliced mandarin oranges and tangerines on clean base notes of ripe mangos. On the green side, and is fresh, clean and tangy! This is a clearance scent.
Mango Peach
Sweet and fruity and reminiscent of The Body Shop's discontinued Mango Peach, this peppy fragrance is a juicy blend of mango and peach in equal parts. This cheery scent is terrific to wake up to!
Mango Sorbetto
The smell of a scoop of cool, sweet mango sorbet, livened up with a touch of raspberry and lemon to add extra dimension. Summer refreshment at its best.
Maple Pecan Streusel
This sweet and nutty blend of maple, pecans and cake will make your mouth water. Have this one on hand for one of your dessert moods.
Masala Chai
Just like an authentic cup of strong spicy Masala Chai, brewed from a blend of black tea, cardamom, cinnamon bark, ginger, cloves and nutmeg. Calling all chai lovers! You won't regret giving this scent a try.
Mayflower Baby
If Benefit's Maybe Baby is your type of scent, then you will love our Mayflower Baby. Top notes of peach, apricot, white ginger, citrus and water blossom, with a floral middle of jasmine, orange blossom, rose and poppy. Sparkling and flirtatious, this blend of soft fruits and white blossoms finishes with base notes of musk and sandalwood.
Milk Bread
This scent will make your stomach growl. A delectable blend of crusty french bread fresh from the oven, steamed milk enriched with vanilla sugar, and a hint of toasted almond honey.
Minty Apple
Zap Macintosh apple with a hint of mint and jasmine, and voila! This fabulously interesting scent is born. Also with notes of black pepper and clary sage for strength and density.
Monkey Farts
OK, I can't resist adding this one to the list, since it's such a fun name. What does it smell like? Everything that a monkey eats! Strawberries, banana, a bit of kiwi ... it's a good fruity sniff. Bottom line: Only if you have a sense of humor! But wouldn't you love to say to someone when they ask you what you're wearing, and you tell them .... oh, Monkey Farts??
Mother Earth
The gardeners among us will instantly recognize this scent of freshly turned earth. A take on spring and renewal that differs from the usual sanitized green herbals. Make no mistake, however, this is a clean earthy scent, surprisingly good alone and in blends to act as an anchor for airy notes. It's the smell of dirt but not a dirty smell. Clear as mud?
Musk Melon Cantata
This is a scent that you cannot afford to miss! The scent of a ripe musk melon is like no other, a little less sweet than cantaloupe and with an intriguing musky and white tea underpinning that catapults this scent into the must try category.
Myrrh
The other, lighter half of Frankincense & Myrrh, Myrrh itself is intoxicating! This scent composed of rich sandalwood and cedarwood mixed with sweet vanilla stands well enough on its own that The Body Perfumery is offering it as a separate fragrance.

It has been used in perfumes for courtiers and queens alike. The Body Perfumery offers you a lovely interpretation of the true scent of the Italian orange blossom in our version of Neroli di Orsini.

Osmanthus
Osmanthus flowers come from a Chinese evergreen, and in China, where they're used to scent tea, they are known as Kwei Hwa. This exotic fragrance is floral-fruity, astringent and fresh. It's been described as a combination of jasmine with a suggestion of plum and raisins. If you want to combine it with other fragrances, I've already done one for you (see China Tea, a blend of Osmanthus and Green Tea). This is one of my favorite florals. If tea- like fragrances appeal to you, then Osmanthus might surprise you.

This fragrance blending together mandarin, bergamot, vanillin, jasmine, orange blossom, coriander, tagette, amber, and oakmoss is a terrific choice for an evening fragrance. Fans of light florals should steer away from Oriental Fantasy, but if you like mature, dark, woodsy spicy scents, then there is no better choice.
