Shower gel with gorgeous scent

59 replies

RickyDinkPanther · 07/06/2014 20:33

I'd like to get my SiL an extra birthday present as the gift she asked for is terribly practical and not something for her. I thought a really nice shower gel is something she would never buy herself and something she can use every day as a bit of a treat.

I can't stretch to Chanel-type body washes, but I recall that Moulton Brown had lovely scents. However they seem a bit passe now! Does anyone have any recommendations? Would like to use a company that will dispatch straight to her as a gift.

I think [[http://www.espaskincare.com/body/cleanse-and-exfoliate/ Espa's] shower gels smell lovely.

snowgirl1 · 07/06/2014 20:41

I'll try that again... Espa have lovely shower gels,

Catswiththumbs · 07/06/2014 20:41

I love this

ChaosTrulyReigns · 07/06/2014 20:42

Rituals have some lovely shower mousses.

fatedtopretend · 07/06/2014 20:42

Molten brown black pepper is unbelievable and the smell lasts all day

If you but L'Occitane Green Tea and Lemon perfume you get the shower gel free. It's very lovely and smells expensive.

Korres is lovely (and 2 for £8) at Waitrose at the mo. The gift sets are nice.

Hairylegs47 · 07/06/2014 20:55

Grass shower gel from Lush lasts all day and is wonderful!

I just used the last yesterday, wishing I could still smell it.

Rituals are great they often of gift sets last time I was there I got £5 off voucher for next purchase.

SuperFlyHigh · 07/06/2014 21:10

I'd also suggest L'Occitane. Sometimes they do nice ones which they then discontinue but v nice.

MissMilbanke · 07/06/2014 21:13

L'Occitane definitely as a lovely gift

But Body Shop orange or satsuma is absolutely gorgeous and probably my favourite even though its not as glamorous !

StairsInTheNight · 07/06/2014 21:16

I was coming on to say Radox fresh mint and lime Grin it's bloody lovely.

Agree l'occtaine is the ponces choice, though.

Iflyaway · 07/06/2014 21:16

L, Occitane is awfully expensive...

Personally, I love Body shop, all natural, loads of different smells and sizes, you could get a small set with bodylotion etc. too.

Neom Organics. Beautiful on the skin, amazing scents that last and beautiful packaging.

Jurlique is great too - great products and beautiful bottles.

YeGodsAndLittleFishes · 07/06/2014 21:17

I love almost all the Crabtree and Evelyn, and love the packaging too.
Do you know if she has any skin sensitivity or intolerances though? If not, something lovely from Holland and Barratt might be god.

I can recommend Espa too, a hotel we stayed at used and sold the range, it's all wonderful.

I second Neom, they are amazing

UncrushedParsley · 07/06/2014 21:21

Molton brown also do a pink pepper shower gel which is lovely. Jo Malone shower gels are lovely, but many Earth Pounds....

Oops. Posted again, bloody phone.

Oh no Super. That's a shame, I love it.

Jakadaal · 07/06/2014 21:44

White Company Vervain or Noir are lovely are the fragrance lasts all day. Also worth a look in TK Maxx if there is one near you as they often have lovely ones. Wish my SIL was like you - I love nice smellies ... She thinks they are 'unnecessary' Wink
