Fragrant citrus body wash?

Can anyone recommended a nice one, I really like lemon and bergamot type fragrances, but normal shower gels and washed are not very potent.

Have you tried L'Occitane's verbena? It's gorgeous.

Original Source lemon, lime and orange body washes are pretty strong too and a fraction of the price.

Neom do beautiful body washes.

Jemimatheragdoll · 21/05/2020 10:37

Was just going to mention L'Occitane too.

At the other end of the scale, The Body Shop shower gels have a lasting fragrance so worth a punt.

Australian Bodycare citrus fragrance is amazing! I always struggle to drag myself out of the shower when I use it.

Molton & Brown Orange & Bergamot is lovely. I also like Lush Happy Hippy & White Company Orange Grove.

I love cowshed ‘uplifting’ shower gel - divine!

cloud1183 · 21/05/2020 18:43

Depends how much you want to spend but I definitely recommend Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt hand and body wash

ArbitraryNameChange · 21/05/2020 18:44

Faith In Nature do an orange and grapefruit one

Callybrid · 21/05/2020 18:45

The Weleda lime one is really nice - can get it in Waitrose.

LordEmsworth · 21/05/2020 18:55

Korres do a basil and lemon, and a lime & ginger I think

goingonahairbunt · 21/05/2020 18:58

Empress by Penhaligon is lovely and last for ages in terms of the scent and the bottle!

pippi123 · 21/05/2020 19:15

I would recommend Sedburgh Soap Company. They deliver quickly and their body wash is lovely.

Lampan · 21/05/2020 19:17

In normal times I’d go to TK Maxx and smell at a few! In my opinion though the best citrus body wash is the Body Shop Satsuma. It lasts well on the skin too

MrsRogerLima · 21/05/2020 19:17

Aldi lemon and teatree

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 21/05/2020 20:34

Molton Briown Orange and Bergamont is my favourite citrus showergel

I tried he ABC Citrus (got a duo of the Citrus and the TeaTree -DS likes it) . It smells like furniture polish Sad. I wanted it to smell like sherbert lemons .

DontBuyLangClegCashmere · 21/05/2020 20:35

The Original Mint And Tea Tree people (forgotten their actual name!) do a lovely lemon body wash which I'd recommend.

Beketaten · 21/05/2020 21:36

Liz Earle Orange Flower or Energising body washes are lovely, beautiful formula and great fragrances.

The Body Shop currently has a limited edition zesty lemon body wash, it’s amazing and the scent lasts really well on you skin!

Korres Bergamot Pear

twilightcafe · 22/05/2020 13:30

I love the Korres Lemon and Basil.

MulberryPeony · 22/05/2020 15:15

I got Superdrug satsuma shower gel after a recommendation on here and it is lovely and cheap as chips. I struggle with some lemon based ones as they smell like bog cleaner to me. I let DH use the Korres last time!

SlatternIsMyMiddleName · 22/05/2020 19:31

Original Source Lime. Cheap as chips but still the favourite in our house.

Ifonlyiweretaller · 23/05/2020 00:10

I use an Elemis sharp shower body wash - really refreshing!
