Can you suggest some inexpensive (pref under £15) gorgeously scented shower gel please? I fancy some. I like woody, fruity (not sickly) nutty (almondy) and flowery scents, dislike metallic or harsh scents. Thanks

Goodwash Sebon Sydyn (Sports wash). Made locally to me it’s guaiac wood and bay leaf, and absolutely gorgeous. A little over your budget but a little goes a very long way.

I just got a sample of the Occitane Almond one and it's fabulous. I usually use their Verbena one which is fresh and citrusy.

I came on to say both of these ! Pure luxury 😊

Korres has got so much choice. Often sold at TK Maxx for a good price

I like Lush 'Lord of Misrule'. It's very green, too, which makes me smile.

standardduck · 01/09/2024 16:02

Caudelie has some lovely ones - I like the yellow one.

L'Occitane. I am a bit over the almond and the verbena now ( after years!) still lovely though and there are loads of others to try.
Neom also good
Both expensive however.

I'm another M&S fan. Bronnley also do a range that are good dupes for Jo Mallone.
I'm always surprised by the love for l'occitane almond oil which I find greasy and slightly rancid smelling. The lemon verbena one is much better.

One of the nicest I have used, is this from Champneys but it's expensive and discontinued. If anyone has come across a dupe, that would be amazing.

Another vote for Ritual foaming shower gel - my current favourites are Activated Charcoal (weird name tho) which is citrus, bergamot and peppermint and Mehr which is sweet orange and cedarwood.
Just under a tenner 😊

WitchyBits · 01/09/2024 16:16

EqualityDuck · 01/09/2024 19:51

Rituals - Ritual of Sakura, is my favourite. Is cherry blossom and rice milk.

Question: the l'occitane almond oil one; does it foam up? The 'oil' bit is a worry.

I've been on the hunt for a nice shower get too OP. I bought the Nuxe shower get and was disappointed. Their face oils smell amazing but the shower gel - nope.

I spent 20 mins sniffing every single shower gel under 15 quid in M&S and ended up buying one of their own ones:

the only gripe i have with this is the fatness of the bottle it's hard to balance it on the side of the bath 😂

Rituals all the way. My fave is Ritual of Mehr. Also Korres as a pp said.

jalopy · 01/09/2024 21:45

Rituals - Sakura shower gel. Absolutely divine.

Meadowwild · 01/09/2024 21:46

If you are not snobbish about them, Baylis and Harding Rose and Geranium is stunning.

HeyPrestoAlakazam · 01/09/2024 21:47

Espa do gorgeous ones and fairly reasonable on Look Fantastic.

Avon Senses shower gels.

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 01/09/2024 21:50

Not really a gel, but L'Occitane almond shower oil is gorgeous.

I bought some for my hospital bag in the hope that my first shower post giving birth would make me feel human again. Really need to buy some more.
