  • that's it really, how do I get it? I love the smell of freshly showered people, not too perfumed, just lovely and clean smelling. Any recommendations please.

Are you talking actual shower gel, or perfume?

Either, both, I don't know! I just want to smell clean, fresh and soapy!

Dove shower gel the original one

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 02/06/2019 20:29

I use bar soap.

Palmolive green soap bars. Pack of 3 in Poundland. It smells so clean! Not perfumed, just fresh! Smile

Clean on me shower gel by Soap & Glory. Lovely clean scent.

IHaveBrilloHair · 02/06/2019 20:29

Pears soap, not sure you can get it in a perfume though!

My friend smells like this and it was Burberry 'body' perfume. I like it on me too, but it doesn't smell quite as clean.

NannyR · 02/06/2019 20:32

I was going to recommend the Palmolive green soap bars too - a very fresh, clean smell.

Thallo · 02/06/2019 20:32

Not the coolest brand in the world but I think J Lo's Glow could be described as a clean just out of the shower fragrance.

RhubarbIsEvil · 02/06/2019 20:32

Acqua di Palma Colonia cologne. Amazingly lemony but sodding expensive.

Thallo · 02/06/2019 20:32

Really cheap too.

tutu112 · 02/06/2019 20:32

Perfume parlour make fresh scents like Dove or I think there's even a Lenor scent. Worth a look?

NabooThatsWho · 02/06/2019 20:34

Yes Perfume Parlour, Dove oil. Nivea one is also very soapy smelling.

BellMcEnd · 02/06/2019 20:34

I really love Dove for that clean smell and L’air du temps perfume by Nina Ricci which is all soft and talc-ey

EAIOU · 02/06/2019 20:34

Soap and glory products are beautiful!!!!

EAIOU · 02/06/2019 20:35

Dunno why I'm exclaiming so much 😂😂😂

calilark · 02/06/2019 20:36

4160 Tuesdays do an excellent fresh out of the shower lemony one called Invisible Ben. It is DH's standard fragrance, nice and clean. Lovely.

Jacksback · 02/06/2019 20:37

Soap and glory for me too
Clean smelling not expensive

Careradvice2019 · 02/06/2019 20:38

loccitane Shea butter .. just finished a bar and need to order more , lathers beautifully and I can still smell it for ages after I'm dressed

CarrieBlu · 02/06/2019 20:39

It’s bar soap. Dove or Pears usually. The smell lingers so much longer than the smell of shower gels. If I wash with shower gels I often feel a bit yuck again at the end of the day, but stay fresh all day if I’ve used a bar of soap.

tutu112 · 02/06/2019 20:39

Yeah, do a search on PP for "soap". They do various soapy scents. Can't find the lenor scent. I must've dreamt that. Confused

Careradvice2019 · 02/06/2019 20:39

The soap ... not the body cream ... although the hand cream is gorgeous too .. I have a few tubes on the go

CarolsBiggestFan · 02/06/2019 20:40

Molton Brown Templetree body wash- the smell lingers all day.

NoParticularPattern · 02/06/2019 20:41

Then Palmolive bars here too. I think they might be a pregnancy craving (although I’ve not quite got to the point of wanting to eat one.... yet!)
