Nicest scented shower gel

90 replies

Bluebellberry · 02/02/2021 14:03

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!

Another vote for Loccitane almond shower oil...I've been using it for years and years. It smells devine and is very gentle. I adore it and totally recommend.

Another ones for Rituals Ayurveda. Expensive but so nice.

Cheaper one that I always like is the original Sanctuary one. Often on offer in boots.

I mostly use bar soap (and currently using a Soap & Glory bar which I'm loving!) but my favourite shower gel is Decléor's Neroli Shower Gel it smells fab.

cheeseybean · 02/02/2021 19:35

Malin & Goetz Rum body wash or l'occitane cherry blossom are my two faves Smile

teawamutu · 02/02/2021 19:36

Korres shower gel can't be beaten IMO - smells lovely and natural and fab on the skin.

Fig or Ginger Lime are my favourites.

tobee · 02/02/2021 19:37

Has Korres stopped supplying to retailers over here? Suddenly can't see it anywhere not imported.

teawamutu · 02/02/2021 19:44

QVC still had some when last I looked. Am considering just gritting my teeth and ordering from Greece if the only way to get my favourites.

makingmyway10 · 02/02/2021 19:45

Molten Brown fan here. These are my favs

Ginger lily
Cypress and sea fennel
Pink pepper
Russian leather
Rosa Absolute

All lovely and different .L’occitan Almond milk is lovely too

tobee · 02/02/2021 19:46

I found one just now on Amazon and the p&p was extortionate. Presumably since Brexit?

afaloren · 02/02/2021 19:49

Lush Snow Fairy is my all time favourite but I think you can only get it at Christmas. I always buy loads!

Molton Brown Rhubarb and Rose

L’Occitane Almond Oil

L’Occitane Verbena

Bananaman123 · 02/02/2021 19:51

Molton Brown muddled plum, orange or rhubarb and rose are lovely
Bath and body works, any scent but you have to buy from facebook groips as imported from USA
Noble isle willow song
Sanex makes you skin silky soft

@Eaumyword

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.
Agree with clarins tonics. The yellow one is sublime. As is Clinique Aromatics (yellow tube).

Oh rituals karma

TheSockMonster · 02/02/2021 19:57

Original Source Lime is cheap and smells divine. Unfortunately it’s like paint stripper on my sensitive skin, so I have to let DH use it and just sniff him when he comes out.

Does the L’Occitane Almond Oil leave the shower floor slippery?

Is there anything that smells divine but is also ok for sensitive skin?

lookdeepintotheparka · 02/02/2021 20:41

@tobee Korres is getting harder to find Sad

I bought up loads in TK Maxx before Christmas as I'm worried it will disappear in the UK completely after Brexit!

jennymac · 02/02/2021 20:45

Another vote for badedas plus not a girly scent so can be used by the whole family

stringbean · 02/02/2021 21:49

I'm a fan of Le Petit Marseillais shower gels, and stock up at supermarkets when we visit France. The apricot/hazelnut one and olive/lime tree are particularly nice, but I'd take any of them! I wish they sold them in the UK.

Chicchicchicchiclana · 02/02/2021 21:56

The best shower gel is a bar of soap imo. And very big bonus of no plastic bottle to throw away.

Nesti Dante are lovely, and also all the olive oil ones you get in health food shops. TK Maxx have an amazing range of gift soaps at reduced prices. Anything with olive oil or avocado oil usually smells lovely.

tobee · 02/02/2021 22:28

Also I'd add The White Company; particularly Spa Restore and Lime and Bay.
And Urban Apothecary; particularly Coconut Grove and Oriental Noir.

Snowplop · 02/02/2021 22:40

My top three are:
ESPA Fitness shower oil - I cannot describe how wonderful a shower is with this stuff. It really is restorative. Inhale and aaaaaaahhhhh!
Clarins Relax bath and shower concentrate - half the price of the ESPA one but also gorgeous.
Badedas - the old favourite.

hammeringinmyhead · 02/02/2021 22:58

Another vote for Korres Fig and L'Occitane Almond, but also Imperial Leather Sea Samphire and Watermint. It smells like an expensive spa.

Ipadannie · 02/02/2021 23:10

Fenjal shower creme. Smells amazing and lasts all day.

tobee · 02/02/2021 23:18

Ooh and Clarins eau dynamisante

CatChant · 02/02/2021 23:22

L'Occitane Citrus Verbena. Heavenly.

SpeckledyHen · 03/02/2021 08:02

L’Occitane Almond shower gel smells divine and the fragrance lasts on the skin . Doubles as a bubble bath too .
