My Molton Brown shower gel smells like poo and worse.

Aibu to think Jasmin and Sun Rose shower gel from Molton Brown smell like faeces and urine. Sniffed straight from the bottle, not unpleasant but once foamed all over the body it becomes a whole different olfactory experience. I chucked a buff puff away thinking maybe DH had used it to clean his arse again Grin but it is definitely the shower gel . Can’t even bring myself to sniff my fingers now. Blush

I had a quick look at online reviews for this and they are all fabulous.

I think someone shat in your shower gel OP

Cheeseismymiddlename · 12/01/2021 19:01

@Blue Sussex . That’s exactly what it smells like. Grin

Do you have a cat? They are all bastards.

Missingthebridegene · 12/01/2021 19:02

Are you pregnant!?

Mylittlesandwich · 12/01/2021 19:03

Maybe you produce unusually fragrant shites?

Hermanfromguesswho · 12/01/2021 19:03

Do you have Covid? Makes your sense of smell go like this!

lidoshuffle · 12/01/2021 19:05

" smells like poo and worse ". I'm tryng to imagine what's even worse!

Confrontayshunme · 12/01/2021 19:05

Yep to the PP who says you have Covid. Got a £60 Neom candle from my inlaws and thought it smelled like dried beans. No smell the following day and positive covid test the day after.

CryptoFascist · 12/01/2021 19:09

Jasmine is known to have an indolic (faecal) scent.

Shaniac · 12/01/2021 19:09

I also instantly thought covid. Lots of reports of people smelling faeces with covid.

Jetatyeovilaerodrome · 12/01/2021 19:10

Really? Everything smelling of shit is a sign of Covid? Shock

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 12/01/2021 19:10

Jasmine famously smells like poo sometimes. I don’t think it’s your sense of smell. I once heard it described as “like when you go into a toilet cubicle just after a woman wearing heavy floral perfume has had a big shit”.

CoronaIsWatching · 12/01/2021 19:10

Sniff other things and see if they smell usual, if not book the covid test

1FootInTheRave · 12/01/2021 19:11

I think a grade 4 pressure sore smells worse than poo.

I would get a covid swab op. Lots report unpleasant smells as a symptom.

BornIn78 · 12/01/2021 19:12

I bought a bottle of their Lime and Patchouli hand wash and thought it smelled very strongly of BO.

Cheeseismymiddlename · 12/01/2021 19:12

No cat but my dogs can be little gits. Grin
Not Covid if you trust lateral flow tests.
Interesting comment @CryptoFascist. Going to google it.

Have you had the flu jab in the last few days? My aunt had that and was convinced the water in her house smelt as you describe for about 72 hours. She had the water company out and everything her son (support bubble) said everything was normal and the water company couldn’t find anything. She tested got a COVID test as a precaution which came back negative so is convinced it was the flu jab that caused it.

AnneShirleysNewDress · 12/01/2021 19:13

Get a COVID test OP. I had it in October and after weeks of no smell I now smell poo everywhere Sad

VenusClapTrap · 12/01/2021 19:14

Sansevieria leaves that have rotted at the base due to overwatering smell worse than poo.

1FootInTheRave · 12/01/2021 19:14

Lateral flow pick up only around 50% of positives from what I've read.

Shaniac · 12/01/2021 19:14

I think a grade 4 pressure sore smells worse than poo.

Or C difficile

Mixingitall · 12/01/2021 19:21

I’ve bought Milton Brown from the outlet at Biscester and it definitely sneaky different to ones I’d bought in a shop. I am thinking they go off after a while.

Could it have been a regift or bought from an outlet?

Mixingitall · 12/01/2021 19:21

Molton! Predictive text.

ichundich · 12/01/2021 19:21

Are you sure you don't have Covid?

ladymuck111 · 12/01/2021 19:24

Bought the MIL this for Xmas I hope it doesn't smell like 💩
