I love a good shower gel or creme, and I want to try some new ones. Whats the nicest scented ones you have used? Are Molten Brown worth the money? Any recommendations welcome!

Opps, I meant shower cream!

Depends what you like, I'm a sucker for sugary sweet scents and like the immensely cheap Boots own brand Berries shower gel, around 75p!

Bluebellberry · 02/02/2021 15:14

I don’t mind sweet, the only thing I dont like is banana or cherry scented things. Will have a look at Boots one!

Elemis Monoi shower cream is my most favourite thing in the world (after Dd of course!)

It is utterly divine.

Molton brown Gingerlily is gorgeous and lasts all day.

youbigchump · 02/02/2021 15:38

L'Occitane Almond shower oil. It's pricy but lasts for ages.

Flippyferloppy · 02/02/2021 15:41

Current favourite is Nuxe Rêve de Miel. I absolutely love the smell (and it's quite long-lasting too)

another vote for L'Occitane Almond shower oil

I bought the one with the pump top, its been a major consolation throughout the lockdowns, a daily luxury. They sell refills, too.

Rituals foaming gel - cheap enough that you can use lots guilt free. Ayurveda and Karma are my favourite. Plus you can layer up the scent with the exfoliater and body cream www.rituals.com/en-gb/bath-body/body-wash

Or the Decleor shower products smell amazing.

Another vote for Heavenly Gingerlily by Molton Brown

I've switched to bar soap now but I used to like Molton Brown Vetiver & Grapefruit (still use it as bubble bath).

Scottish Fine Soaps Au Lait is lovely too. They used to do one called Tangled Rose which was gorgeous, although I don't think it's available any more.

DH really loves Acqua di Parma Colonia shower gel. It's gorgeous, I keep catching little whiffs of it after he's been in the shower.

I love Molton Brown Templetree and Body Shop Satsuma shower gels. I also think Clarins bath tonics smell amazing and you can use them as shower gels and bath foams.

lookdeepintotheparka · 02/02/2021 18:12

Korres Fig shower gel smells amazing or I love their Santorini Vine in summer.

Molton Brown shower gels are lovely. My favourite is Jasmine & Sun Rose but they are all nice although sadly a bit expensive for everyday use!

Meggymoo777 · 02/02/2021 18:14

Oooohhhh, I really love the Imperial Leather Cotton Clouds. Smells like a dream 🥰 I always stock up when it's on sale!

ScalpHelp · 02/02/2021 18:16

I love the soap and glory sugar crush and rich and foamous shower gels. The first smells like refresher sweets (in a good way) and the other is vanilla. Beyond that, the quality of the product itself is good too. Shame I can’t use them any more!

itssquidstella · 02/02/2021 18:24

I like Rituals Dao and Jo Malone Pomegranate.

itssquidstella · 02/02/2021 18:24

Rituals Chadō also really nice.

tobee · 02/02/2021 18:34

Tangled Rose (as mentioned upthread) is available as a hand wash so you could use in shower. It's lovely.

Nivea Sunshine Love smells lovely and summery. Like the sun lotion. In fact Nivea do a few good ones.

Crabtree and Evelyn La Source is reminds me of the sea.

I always think you can't go wrong with a bit of 4711 for citrussy freshness.

JaceLancs · 02/02/2021 18:37

I don’t really notice much of a difference in shower creams currently using original source lime and coconut milk
I prefer to spend more on bath products and body lotions
That said I rediscovered badedas in a bargain shop in December all of £3 - wish I’d bought a crate of the stuff as I’m loving it and haven’t seen it since

Pigtailsandall · 02/02/2021 18:52

My husband uses a waitrose own brand pink grapefruit shower gel which smells lovely. I prefer unscented ones as I have a sensitive nose and I feel like it mingles too much with my perfume otherwise

LBB2020 · 02/02/2021 18:57

L’Occitane almond shower oil and Lush olive branch or rose jam are my favourites

Iamthewombat · 02/02/2021 18:59

Roger & Gallet. Unsurpassed.

MissBattleaxe · 02/02/2021 18:59

I had a huge bottle of Korres Peach Blossom shower gel with olive oil for Christmas and it smells incredible. I love it.

thenightsky · 02/02/2021 19:02

@JaceLancs

Badedas is available in Boots and Superdrug.

Plussizejumpsuit · 02/02/2021 19:06

I love faith in nature brand. Especially rose. Its vegan and lots of natural ingredients if not all natural. Tesco, Holland and barrat and various organic shops have it. It's about 4 or 5 pounds a bottle.
