Shower gel…. Or cat piss??

I’ve tried to post this three times, I will give up if not successful.

I decided to try a new shower gel, the raddox pomegranate uplifting one and after one wash came to the conclusion it smells just like cat piss Confused

DH cannot smell it apparently and continues to use the cat piss shower gel and every time I go into the bathroom after him, all I can smell is cat piss.

Has anyone else used this shower gel? Did it smell like cat piss to you??

Imperial Leather Fijian waterfall is awful. Realised why it was on offer.

I got a coconut and almond one once to take on holiday. I smelled like a chicken korma!

I have some radix shower gels in the cupboard, the ‘feel uplifted’ with basil and pink grapefruit is quite sharp smelling, the pomegranate and red apple ( which doesn’t advertise itself as uplifting) smells strongly of synthetic pomegranate. Neither smell remotely like cat piss to me.

My sister thinks Dove shower creme smells like baby sick. I love the stuff genuinely hoping I don't walk around smelling like baby sick!

labazslovesliving · 24/08/2021 18:43

my daughter hates Dove she is a carer and she says all the old ladies use it so when she smells it it reminds her of washing bums!

Twitchy DH thinks I’m mad but it’s so strong to me and all I can smell.

Bit gutted at Dove smelling like baby sick as I love it too!

Although wouldn’t mind smelling like a Korma, I love Korma.

Are you smelling everything else normally? I have that one too and while I don't relate the smell to pomegranate I definitely don't think it's cat piss either Sad

GoddamReylos · 24/08/2021 20:00

Eurgh I’ve had the chicken korma one too! I quite like the grapefruit and basil one - the Aldi version is a bit nicer…

I'm going to smell this next time I'm in the shops.

But life is too short to think you can smell cat piss. Chuck it out!

I ove The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit ...my DH says it smells like warm piss Hmm

Not this one but I recently bought an asda shower gel. Mango and something. That's exactly what it smelled like. Cat piss. We have cats and I was searching the house at first trying to work out where the smell was coming from till we realised it was the shower gel. Went straight into the bin after that.

I got a conditioner from primark recently, thought as it was meant to be £4 but was reduced to £1 it was worth a try... it smells like bonfires?!

The men's version of Angel perfume by Thierry Mügler. Very popular in the 90s to be smelt just like men's old piss.
I couldn't stand it.
Everytime anyone passed me with it on it was like walking into a urinal. Gag.

I was staying in a posh hotel a while ago, and they had posh shower gel in the bathroom which was branded the same as their posh spa

It smelt of spunk. Unmistakably spunk

And no, it wasn’t a leftover from the previous guest. The replacement bottle on day 2 smelt exactly the same

There's a perfume I have smelled on some people that is just like flyspray ( slightly better than piss though)

I want to say "Oh what lovely perfume what is it" ? (so I can avoid it at all costs ) but I'm scared they'll give me a bottle !

@70isaLimitNotaTarget

Calvin Klein - I think Obsession always reminded me of Cooper's Fly Spray. I used to wonder why so many lifts and tubes smelt of it!
