Decent but not spendy body wash where the smell stays on you all day

I'd like a body wash/shower gel that smells nice but crucially stays smelling nice all day. I can't afford ones by the big perfume houses so are there any 'normal' brands that will do the trick?

I love the smell of the sanctuary one and the smell sticks around as dp always complains when he uses it

Sorry for abandoning my own thread Blush. Thanks for the rec away. I'm off to the shops tomorrow so will have a sniff.

Soap and Glory ones smell lovely.

I am normally frugal but you must try L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil - the fragrance lasts all day and is great on skin. Smells divine : ) . I think it is about £17 but does last a very long time. Avon So Soft also lasts a while ( and deters mosquitos apparently ).

Boots Botanics is long lasting and a lovely smell IMO.

duvet I was just about to recommend the L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil too.

I buy from QVC- they did a 500ml bottle with a pump + 500ml refill pouch + scrub+hand gel+ foot gel.
Still available but I got TSV price (Todays Special Value)

It really does linger, I smell my arm all day Grin

(There's an Almond Gel but it's not as nice)

Korres showergels are divine, they're about £7. There are Korres stores, or Oliver Bonas and John Lewis stock them (among others), or shop online.

Use a body lotion after shower and you will smell lovely all day, better than wearing perfume.

I have one by Jason I buy it in health food shops it makes the whole house smell lovely.

BettyandDon · 19/10/2013 09:31

Philosophy 3 in 1s are good. bit pricey at £16 but last a very long time. I picked up a load for £1 each at end last Christmas in Boots when they had stock left :)

70isa thanks for the tip on the QVC. You can imagine my delight when I realised my two year old had tipped most of the Almond Shower Oil into the bath ! It was a few years back but am just getting over it lol!

bunjies · 19/10/2013 22:12

Thanks all for the tips. Unfortunately even £17 is a bit too much for me. Something with a built in moisturiser would be great as I don't have much time but probably not doable at lower prices.

I got some Badedas in Waitrose this week, it was £2.20 and it smells amazing. I used nivea in shower moisturiser after it and could still smell it on my arm at the end of the day. Plus my whole bathroom smelled of it

rootypig · 20/10/2013 07:12

Nivea in shower moisturiser OP, fragrance is a bit anonymous, but the moisturiser works.

babyseal · 20/10/2013 09:12

I second the Jason shower gels, I use the Rose one, it smells fab, the fragrance sticks around and it makes my skin so soft I don't often have to use a body lotion. It comes in a huge pump dispenser, costs a tenner or so and lasts for months.

I like these oils for during the day www.weleda.co.uk/travel-sizes/mini-wild-rose-body-oil-10ml/invt/102041

Branleuse · 20/10/2013 10:01

if you like any of the lush smells, I find them good for lasting scent. Flying fox and grass are my favourites
