That lovely clean, soapy, just got out of the shower smell

[ComeBackPeterComeBackPaul]

• 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.

Philosophy Amazing Grace or Pure Grace depending upon which one you like the most. They both smell so clean and lovely.

Nivea do an eau de toilette spray in Nivea scent.

Bloody love the Nivea smell. I may buy it.

I prefer the sprays to the roll ons. They're all made with oils which is why they last so much longer than the "real" thing. I've read people say that the Dove one is "too strong" even, that's how soapy it is.

Au Lait soap and other products from the Scottish Fine Soap (I think) company are really lovely smelling.

Yes,you have to go easy with the Dove one for sure 😂

Actually, OP I purchased my soaps at TK Maxx, but I am in Aus, so assumed was different. They have other brands of Italian soaps there (I call them Nonna soaps) which are fine as well!

Thanks Loaf. Just cheered myself up on a Monday night by ordering some!

Oh God, I'm such a sheep! Just ordered some PP Dove and also their 'Oh Lola' so let's see! What is the delivery time like?

Pretty quick, I got the Acqua Di Parma the other day and it was with me in a couple of days (awesome dupe)

@YesQueen What is the aqua di palma dupe? And which aqua di Parma is it a dupe of? Thanks!

Penhaligon's Castille smells like expensive soap - I love it.

@MoonMerry it's a dupe of Colonia

Ooh thanks! @YesQueen

Great recs, am browsing the perfume parlour now...

For those who like soapy smells but their skin doesn't like soap, try Dove bars. They aren't actually soap, they are more like a solid shower gel. I don't like them as much as soap as I don't think anything gets rid of armpit smells as well as proper soap. I never find that the smells linger, though. Trots off to browse perfume parlour...

Imperial Leather soap. The original, yellow one with the little black label. Nothing smells quite as soapy and clean.

Love that and would love a similar smelling scent! At the moment I am all over Dove - the pink soap. Reminds me of either Lux or Camay can't remember which.

Also really love Pears. Have one ready when Dove one is finished.

I've found it @ComeBackPeterComeBackPaul... !!

H&M do some perfumes by top perfumers. There's two that fit the bill:

T-Shirt

And
Above the Clouds
m2.hm.com/m/en_gb/search-results.html?q=above+clouds
Also available as a 75ml

They both smell perfect!

Dove perfume? Ugh.

Someone upthread mentioned JLO Glow and its really is a fabulous freshly shampooed sort of smell. Also, Philosophy Amazing Grace or Miller Eau Magnetic are fabulously clean smelling and gorgeous.

Another vote for loccitane Shea butter. Also Emma Bridgewater Love & Flowers cream or Lush Handy Gurugu (my colleague who always smells lovely and fresh uses these)

The only shower gel that I’ve found that keeps you feeling clean and lingers all day is Molten Brown. Pink Pepperpod or Black Pepper are amazing.

Otherwise use soap. It’s so much better. The White Company soaps smell amazing. I love Seychelles.

It's anything but imo, it's such a heavy scent.

Glow is quite sharp and astringent at first , but the dry down is soft and soapy. I don’t find it strong at all. It lasts a few hours only and it doesn’t have huge projection.

But I guess we all experience smell differently.

I find that Glow lasts for ages. I sprayed it at about 7:30am and can still smell it very strongly.
