I need to buy more sister a lovely scented body lotion for her birthday. She would like something to wear instead of perfume with a lovely perfume. (No clues have been given about notes).
Please has anyone any suggestions as I am suffering with a bug atm and can't get out to try them?
TIA

L'Occitane

Pricy but lovely. I like their almond milk stuff Smile

Angel by Thierry Mugler - lasts ages on me!

nequidnimis · 29/10/2014 23:31

Anything by Jo Malone smells gorgeous and lasts all day.

Clarins Dynamissante body lotion

Valsoldknickers · 30/10/2014 07:10

I second L'Occitane body cream for having a beautiful lingering power.

Their Néroli & Orchidée is beyond gorgeous!

If you're looking for something a bit cheaper I get loads of compliments when I'm wearing bodyshop's shea butter body lotion (not the body butter)

If she likes the Hawaian Tropic scent they do an after sun that can be used as a body lotion. Aren't they the same thing. The scent lingers.
Even thinking of Angel body lotion and I start to get a migraine Smile

LOVE L'Occitane Rose 4 Reines (v delicate floral) body lotion and perfume. I wear them separately not together.

LoadsaBlusher · 30/10/2014 09:54

Was also going to say Thierry mugler angel lotion - really sweet long lasting smell.
Im hoping I get some for Xmas this year as bit too pricey to buy for myself !

hollyisalovelyname · 30/10/2014 10:47

I think Angel is like Marmite - You either love it or hate it.

LoadsaBlusher · 30/10/2014 14:54

definetely holly I only wear it on evenings out now as it's so strong , I know what you mean , I have friends who loyally refill their angel bottles at the angel fountain in Debenhams and others who really don't like it Halloween Smile

FishesTit · 30/10/2014 17:52

Philosophy Amazing Grace, soft and feminine lasts all day on me.

BiancaDelRio · 30/10/2014 18:00

I think I'd actually prefer to rub Marmite all over my body than Angel Grin .

My suggestions are the Laura Mercier Soufflé Body Cream in Ambre Vanille.

And Diptyque Do Son Body Lotion. Gorgeous scent and really long lasting on me. Their Fresh lotion is lovely too.

REN rose Otto

BuzzardBird · 31/10/2014 09:12

Thank you for all the great suggestions, I have something to go on now. Thanks

Fushi - bringer of peace lotion, gorgeous scent

StUmbrageinSkelt · 31/10/2014 10:54

Angel's one I'd only buy if I knew she loved it. ::shudder::

hollyisalovelyname · 31/10/2014 11:02

Rituals do a lovely scented body cream. Mei Dao. It's like a whipped body cream with a gentle subtle scent. They also do a matching body/ pillow spray. Just really soothing and calm. They have concessions in some UK stores, are also online and have a shop near Oxford Street in London. It's a Dutch company
If you don't like Angel you'd probably love this Grin

Fubsy · 31/10/2014 12:31

Liz Earle Silky Body Lotion. I like the bergamot and ginger but obviously it depends what your sister likes.

HeyMacWey · 31/10/2014 16:04

Any of the laura mercier ones would be a good choice.
Long lasting and smell delicious.
