By the editors · 2 min readKistna (2002) opens on a classic citrus triad — bergamot, grapefruit, orange — before an herbal-aromatic heart of basil, geranium, and thyme takes over. The base is decidedly earthy: moss, cedar, and patchouli building a dry, slightly woody finish. The overall effect is clean and botanical, sitting comfortably in the male-leaning aromatic-fougère register while remaining unisex in spirit. Named for an Indian river, Kistna reflects The Body Shop's early-2000s tendency toward globally inspired, nature-rooted aromatics.
