The lingering stench of dove gradual tan moisturiser

[TheCowThatLaughs]

I put it on last night, had a shower about 2 hours later, then had another shower this morning where I scrubbed with a shower puff thing, and I can still smell the horrible fake tan smell! I think that fake tan does smell exceptionally horrible on me for some reason, but surely 2 showers should shift it?! Am I doing something wrong or what?

No, it does last for aaggggeeessss

I love the smell, so maybe I'll come and sniff you

It smells like dirty laundry to me! Is it just the dove that lingers so long, do you happen to know?

Yes, that unmistakeable biscuity smell. Nothing quite like it.

So I can either be white and fragrant or slightly orange in patches bronzed and smelly?

I think they all smell weird. I've tried many different brands, but always that strange scent overpowers any niceness.

I've never noticed a smell with the Dove one - it's the only one I've found that I can cope with!

Dove is particularly grim, Garnier one is much nicer and so is palmers (but that's chocolately)

Dog biscuits. They all smell of dog biscuits.

Ah right so it might be worth trying a few different ones then? Thanks everyone

I really don't mind the smell! I know some people think it's awful, but it never bothers me.

I think it smells really strong on me though. Maybe it doesn't smell bad on you Cointreau?

I found that the Dove one had far less of a biscuity smell than other similar products. Perhaps I have a crap sense of smell or you have a particularly sensitive sense of smell.

And it also seems to absorb all the other smells I've tried to cover it up with, eg perfume and a strong-smelling original source body cream

I think I do have a good sense of smell, Bunbaker

I have a hyper-sensitive sense of smell (detest the smell of normal Dove stuff) but this one is fine for me.

It must be my skin chemistry or something. It smells really horrible. I forgot I'd put it on and walked into my living room and thought it smelt dirty in there and wondered why, then realised it was the smell of me

i could still smell it after two showers!

Same here Green. I'm hoping to get rid of it later after a 3rd shower.

They all smell on me, but I find the garnier one the worst. I can bear it though.

I know what you mean. It's not unbearable for me either. I'd like to smell nice though, ideally.

The smell is from your skin reacting to the tanning ingredients in the product, all self tans cause the smell but some try to cover it more with fragrance.

The Garnier summer body mostly smells of apricots, not so much the biscuity smell I find

I like the smell! Biscuits is hardly the worst thing to be smelling of.

Smelly and doesn't last

On my it smells of dirty laundry. Biscuits would be fine!
