Gorgeous smelling products

You know when someone walks past you and they smell absolutely lovely? Well I want that smell!

What are your favourite smelling products? Particularly hair stuff because my hair seems to hold the smell of things like traffic or cooking and then I'm paranoid for the day that I smell of bacon!

Should add that I'm not a fan of artificial fruity smells - but if they're the secret to smelling great then I'll give them a go!

I have a lot of neals yard products, and get quite a few positive comments about the smell of them, especially the ones that contain rose. I think they use naturally scented or essential oils in them, so don't smell artificial at all.

I love body shop oils of life products, using the products at night is almost like scent therapy, the smell is gorgeous

I get cooking smells in my hair too so either i mist the air above my head with perfume so it scents my hair or I use benefit bathina body mist which smells really fresh and fresh out of the shower-y

Aveda haircare generally smells lovely. I use Colour Conserve shampoo and Damange Remedy conditioner. Both make my hair smell clean and lovely.

L'occitane products - so so lovely. Have just treated myself to handcream, shower gel and body creme in a gorgeous cherry blossom smell. Perfume wise I am an Alien girl, gets lots of compliments

Birdsbeesandtrees · 01/06/2017 16:53

The soaps and shower gels by noble isle are beautiful.

OCSockOrphanage · 01/06/2017 20:01

Yes, birdandbees, would agree with you!

Madbengalmum · 01/06/2017 20:02

Espa, body and hair products smell lovely and are all natural.

Unicorn81 · 01/06/2017 20:18

Molton brown cloudberry shampoo and conditioner, makes my hair really soft
Lee stafford coco loco shampoo and conditioner, cant stop smelling my hair when i use this
Loccitane hair repair shampoo and conditioner, makes my hair super shiney

Ted baker mint shower gel (just mint colour not smell) with the body lotion and body spray
Daisy dream lotion and perfume
Loccitane almond shower oil and body lotion
Oh yes noble isle is gorgeous too, think its same company that own molton brown
Any shower gel by bath and body works

I find using any perfume with matching lotion lasts all day

Thesp00kykids · 01/06/2017 20:19

Anything from lush Halo

AgentCooper · 01/06/2017 20:22

I was going to say Nuxe too! Huile Prodigieuse and the Parfum Prodigieux are just beautiful, like amber and warm nights and jasmine.

I wear Diptyque Lait Frais body cream every day and it always gets compliments - it's orange blossom.

Jaimx86 · 01/06/2017 20:56

I get the best compliments when wearing Palmers Cocoa Butter. When I've worn it with Armani Elle (in the gold tube) strangers have stopped me in the street to ask about the lovely smell - bit weird - but only thing I've worn with that effect on others! I think the products by Rituals smell gorgeous, but no one has ever commented.

SandysMam · 01/06/2017 21:02

Molecule 02...get so many compliments when I wear it even though I can't smell it myself!!
Also, the Laura Mercier body range is amazing, like grown up sweets...lemon, almond, coconut and mint, absolutely gorgeous.

AlfaMummy · 01/06/2017 22:26

Elemis Frangipani oil is amazing! Do try it.

ihatethecold · 02/06/2017 07:05

I love the smell of frangipani.
When I was In Thailand last year they had the flowers in blossom and the smell was amazing.

ihatethecold · 02/06/2017 07:06

This thread makes me want to go shopping.

hippadoppaloppagorillapig · 02/06/2017 07:11

I love the Champneys citrus blush body range, the cardamom scent is just lovely.

Hair stuff, the Lee Stafford coco loco range is very nice, like coconut. And the new Alberto Balsam conditioner is just like sun cream.

Crochita · 02/06/2017 07:38

All rehab fragrance oils.

All nuxe products.

Clarins body lotion.

Chanel no 5 fragrance and body lotion and hair mist. The hair mists in the Chanel fragrance ranges are lovely.

Chicinwellies · 02/06/2017 08:05

Somebody ban this thread. Must not dash to boots today and try lots of these. Second Laura Mercier products and also Soap and Glory, if I wear anything S and g with coco mademoiselle I'm often asked what I'm wafting. Also like benefit bathina .

Theyrejustfuckingwords · 02/06/2017 09:16

Korres shower gels are beautiful and long lasting...I have quite a little collection growing.
Today is Santorini vine
Yesterday lemon and basil, also I recommend Isle Noble too.
Davinese shampoos and conditioners keep their fragrance and are cruelty free.

Theyrejustfuckingwords · 02/06/2017 09:17

Meant to say I am often asked when using these items

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 02/06/2017 09:23

Boots had a lovely body moisturiser in the Botanics range but stopped making it.

Cowshed usually smells lovely.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 02/06/2017 09:24

Or, if you are in a French supermarket you cal pick a Monoi Tiare body oil.

Cheap and really good.
