My lovely l'occitane rose is nearly done, what will I try next? I love natural/soapy scents, nothing minty or chemically though.

Morton brown back pepper

I was coming on to say snow fairy! So good!

I've found three of the biggest bottles last me through the year, November to November. Grin

From most expensive to least:

Mimosa by Philosophy
L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil
Aveeno Stress Relief Body Wash
Dove Cream Oil Body Wash

The mimosa is heavenly, that and the l'occitane are always on my gift wish list. My skin gets dry and they all look after it really well. The Dove one was a v pleasant surprise.

I work about 3 minutes from a Lush and have never been in! Love the sound of some of these so will definitely pop in on Monday.

Molton brown vitalising vitamin abc

Snow fairy is limited edition but Godmother soap smells the same and works well on a body puff in the shower

superlambanana · 10/08/2013 00:44

Clarins bath and shower tonic. Smells just like a spa - so gorgeous!!

I also like Johnson's Baby Calming shower gel - beautiful and fruity.

DaleyBump · 10/08/2013 00:58

I love love love that green Radox one, I think it's called Revive. I've always loved it but I'm currently pregnant and just can't stop sniffing it! Also, not technically shower gel but I love that Lush soap that has the word "sultana" in it. Carried a bar of that around with me for a while! Blush

WafflyVersatile · 10/08/2013 00:58

Neal's Yard geranium and orange blossom.

Currently on radox (or something) damask rose and musk. Very nice.

Body shop satsuma.

NationMcKinley · 10/08/2013 01:03

I'm right dull and like the original Dove shower cream. I've always liked it as it smells so gentle iykwim HmmGrin
We've got some radox stuff at the mo in a cherry scent. It's bright red though so not very natural and makes the shower look like a scene from Psycho......

AngryFeet · 10/08/2013 01:22

This one. Love the smell of mango.

GreenSkittles · 10/08/2013 01:22

My favourite was Lush 'Yummy Yummy Yummy', it smelled like strawberry and vanilla. Discontinued though Sad

Now I like any Molton Brown shower gel.

GreenSkittles · 10/08/2013 01:25

DaleyBump I love green Radox too - juniper and thyme. I've never found anything else that smells like it!

mignonette · 10/08/2013 01:26

My current loves are Yes To Cucumbers which is about £7,99 for a really large bottle that lasts and is sold in Waitrose, Boots and Holland & Barrett amongst other places;

Mugler's 'Angel' shower gelee- not an every day one I know but I get some every year as a birthday gift;

Budget - Those Imperial Leather foams in a can. Love them because you can cover yourself in foam like a weird sea creature. I also like the Radox coconut and have a weakness for anything scented with cucumber or melon, vanilla or coconut. If Hawaiian Tropic made a shower gel I'd buy iy like a shot.

Crabtree & Evelyn Roses and the Lime one too

REN Moroccan Rose Oil for a treat and lasts ages;

This was in last years Christmas gift heap;

I can recommend Nuxe and for total luxury then try E Coudray here. They are the most beautiful looking products and well worth asking for as a special present.

SundaySimmons · 10/08/2013 06:33

Weleda wild rose creamy body wash.

AwkwardSquad · 10/08/2013 07:05

Anything by Korre - gorgeous.

ComtesseDeFrouFrou · 10/08/2013 07:07

One from France by Le Petit Marseillais with mandarin and lime. I bulk buy on our regular jaunts.

Mummyoftheyear · 10/08/2013 07:44

Pink grapefruit by body shop.

InMyShreddies · 10/08/2013 09:09

The Malmaison one - DH nicks it when on frequent work stays there, it's the nicest smell ever!

And Lush, if you're reading, please please please bring back Skinny Dip - it's one you shake to combine, and half was white chocolate and coconut, the other half essential oils, orange and cinnamon. The best smell ever.

Dove cream oil one is the best for my skin though, leaves it feeling soft and moisturised. I have to prioritise this over smelling nice unfortunately.

mignonette · 10/08/2013 10:37

Comtesse We love le Petit Marseillais in our house. Also the Bourjois shower gels sold in France and the Tahiti range. Worth looking for if any Mners are in France....

IShallCallYouSquishy · 10/08/2013 10:41

I'm using Original Source Raspberry and Vanilla. It's amazing. It's my new favourite and makes me think of ice cream

Bexicles · 10/08/2013 10:43

Lush Twilight, I got it in a gift box last christmas it last a couple od days! Gorgeous smell.

RNJ3007 · 10/08/2013 10:43

Faith in Nature - Grapefruit and Orange. Divine!
