Preferably with a long lasting beautiful smell? What's your favourite?

Korres shower gel - nutmeg is my absolute favourite but it is now discontinued Sad

However most of their scents are nice - mint tea is another one that is lovely, as is Basil Lemon.

Debenhams had them on offer in their sale - buy one, get one free, for their basil lemon, rose and fig scents. So £8 for 2 bottles, felt like a nice bargain (especially as I'd stopped buying them for myself as the prices had rocketed over the last few years, and they'd even got expensive in TKMaxx on the rare occasion they got them in, they used to be in there quite regularly for £2-3 but not any more).

This is the basil lemon one:

YY to L'Occitane Almond Oil (they do a Shower Gel in Almond but it's no as nice as the oil)

Thanks all. I actually have a voucher for l'occitane so I'll give the Almond Oil wash a go!

Well, it's a foam but it smells really nice and is v moisturising, and it's on the cheaper side. It's Fenjal foam in the can.

Liz Earle Orange Flower Body Wash - no SLS - smells divine, great lather, good for the summer months. Elemis do an SLS-free moisturing shower creme, which I also like. The L'Occiane Almond Shower Oil is lovely, but has SLS.

Oh. I thought l'occitane was organic? I didn't realise about the sls.

No, L'Occitane is 'pretend' organic (as I term it)... They give the impression of being all natural but they're not. I can recommend NEOM bath oil (totally natural and usually cheaper on lookfantastic.com, cheaper still if you can get a code and free delivery). I love the Bliss bath oil (Moroccan rose) but it's not for the shower! It is very moisturising. There is a starter kit you can buy of five bath oil fragrances...each for one bath.
REN is pretty good...
The Organic Pharmacy is pretty good.
Jutlique too, also Dr Hauschka.

Yes, I was very disappointed when I checked the ingredients, I thought the same. It does smell glorious, though, and is not as stripping as a lot of other shower products. But having SLS in a quality moisturising product does seem odd, as it is so drying/irritating for the skin.

This is the little set:

Looks like they got rid of Complete Bliss :(
This one is nice though and it looks like they've reformulated to make them shower friendly (also there is 15% off - flashes up on screen - for first time purchasers)...

The Neom looks so tempting. I must stop clicking on these links!
