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

Another vote for l'Occitane almond shower oil

And another!

I love trying new shower gels from these kinds of posts, but keep going back to Nuxe Reve de Miel

I buy all my family Liz Earle shower gels as gifts, they absolutely love them. The smells are beautiful and the gel itself is really silky and thick so you only need a small amount (it lasts for ages!) and the scent really lingers on your skin. They are £18 but there are often offers either from Liz Earle directly, Boots or QVC to be had.

Interested in this thread?

Ooh, is it anything like Sea Kelp by the Scottish Soap Company?
Both me and my mum loves sea scents.

Not really similar (I love the sea kelp one too!). Smells quite minty. I often buy the solid soap and the handwash.

I can't really describe it well but it's lovely!

Maybe Badedas shower gel? It's meant to smell like horse chestnuts. I'm not sure about this as don't know what horse chestnuts smell like, but I think it would meet some of your criteria.

Wtafdidido · 01/09/2024 22:50

Sakura rituals! The scent lasts all day

Nannyamc · 01/09/2024 22:52

Jo malone.. not cheap but lasts forever...worth spending on

mellowfell · 01/09/2024 22:58

I might try the Rituals Sakura one. I'm too looking for something that lasts long in smell and nice on skin but doesn't break the bank.

Scentedjasmin · 01/09/2024 22:59

Miller and Harris do amazing ones. Usually they are £20, but they have a half price sale on at least twice a year.

II am trying to remember the name of the shower gel - you know the minty ones and they do others as well, I remember an almond one if they still do it.

It’s so famous it doesn’t need a name. Everyone knows “the minty one” 😂

Another vote for Rituals shower foam. Heavenly!

Pippifer · 01/09/2024 23:08

Liz Earle and Caudalie both do lovely shower gels.

StormingNorman · 01/09/2024 23:08

Palmolive Milk & Honey is heaven.

KenAdams · 01/09/2024 23:08

That Loccitane one smells awful. I threw it away.

Molton Brown is my go to. It's so good that when you shower the next day the scent comes off you!

Saying that, I've been influenced by this thread and ordered the Rituals Sakura one.

Friendofdennis · 01/09/2024 23:24

Molton Brown heavenly ginger Lilly is beautiful. TK maxx has lots of great brands to sniff out

I've chosen Korres Santorini grape shower gel, based on good reviews. Hope it's nice, I've liked other Korres products

I'm definitely going to try some of the other suggestions on here too though

They do a body cream, and spray too. They even do the same scent as washing up liquid. It is so nice.

I like a lot of the bath and bodyworks shower gels. At the moment I'm using butterfly which smells like raspberry and almonds. You can buy them in Next for around £14.

WeMeetInFairIthilien · 02/09/2024 06:55

Oh, so many of these on here that I use and love!

I like the Rituals Sakhura, and love the Mehr, but my absolute favourite is the Hamman one. Rosemary, eucalyptus and argan. It takes me straight back to the spa on holiday.

With the shower oils, I actually like the Shea better than the almond. Use soap first to clean, then the oil to moisturise.

The Bath and Bodyworks shower gels are definitely long lasting regarding their smell. There's loads to choose from as well.

I always wait for them to be on offer in the next sale!
