What is your go to shower gel or soap? Ideally one that the smell lasts on you after the shower too?
Also I have never used body butter/ moisturiser, should I?
thank you

I use bar soap without a strong smell but DH uses Man Cave shower gels which smell amazing and the smell lasts ages.

The bodyshop showergel and body butters are lovely and the smells stay

I really like Waitrose Essential Pink Grapefruit or Seamoss. And I’m usually a beauty snob!

L’Occitane.

Nesti Dante soap, made in Florence. They also sell shower gels. My favourites: Limonum Zagara, Sicilia and Portofino. Triple milled and huge bars which last forever. The scents are fantastic.

Some of the obscure foreign brands found in TK Maxx have pleasant scents, like pomegranate and verbena (a sort of lemony aroma). They tend to come in half-litre bottles but cost much the same in quantity as more common brands. And they last longer, in my experience.

TreacleMoon. You should be able to find it in Tesco.

I’ve just showered and applied my Chanel body cream which smells lovely imho and the smell lasts hours. So I’d look for a body cream / lotion to give you a long lasting smell as opposed to a shower gel that just washes off
I applied my Chanel to my arms and décolletage and my Nivea body lotion to my legs and rest of my body.

Bayliss & Harding Oud lasts and smells lovely.

My favourite is Savon de Marseille. However the scent won’t last ages on your body. Anything that does will be full of synthetic ingredients. Any more natural and healthy product won’t last a long time on your body as it isn’t full of chemicals
