Can you recommend a strong smelling body lotion or moisturiser?

I’m looking for a body lotion/cream/moisturiser that smell nice but are also long lasting. I like clean scents and floral ones. With many of the shops not doing samples now, it’s much harder to try new scents before buying but my main aim is to find something really long lasting. I love walking past people and being able to smell their perfume or body lotion.
Thanks.

Rituals.

L'occitane Cherry Blossom, or Vetiver, you can layer the body wash, body lotion and perfume all together.

Laura Mercier is utterly divine! ££££ though!

Jo Malone pomegranate noir or Blackberry and Bay are long lasting.

TheGirlWhoLived · 09/11/2021 23:29

The lush ones are incredibly strong! Also I quite like soap and glory or sanctuary spa - bit more bargainous but great!

Amazing grace by philosophy. Long lasting and smells really clean. Absorbs into the skin beautifully as well.

Chanels body lotion is beautiful. I don't even bother wearing the perfume as it lasts all day on its own.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 09/11/2021 23:44

Sanctuary Spa lotions seem to be long lasting.

I quite like the body shop body butters.

ImustLearn2Cook · 09/11/2021 23:56

I used to combine essential oil with a carrier oil such as almond oil and apply that to my skin to moisturise after a shower and that lovely scent would last all day. My favourite was mixing a few drops of rose essential oil with almond oil. But rose essential oil is a bit pricey.

yes, but too late to take photos.
place marking until the morrow

I was wondering the same!

I have bum bum cream and chanel which both smell very strong but want to try something different.

Bum bum cream has been my choice for a while.
Recently purchased a shower gel, body lotion and perfume from & other stories and it smells lovely and people have commented all day

Another vote for body shop body hitters. My go to!

Whatliesbeneath707 · 10/11/2021 05:58

I’ve never heard of bum bum cream! It made me think of nappy cream 😁 I shall look it up.

Malteser71 · 10/11/2021 07:03

Laura mercier creme brulee.

Athinginitself · 10/11/2021 07:09

Rituals are strong smelling and seem to really last

Offredismysister · 10/11/2021 07:20

Talking of bum bum cream, the bom dia bright version is really nice. Good scent, long lasting & it exfoliates too.

Can you recommend a strong smelling body lotion or moisturiser?
ferretface · 10/11/2021 09:19

Bum bum cream or Laura Mercier body souffle (any of the scents)

Acrackineverything · 10/11/2021 10:10

Jimmy Choo Original body lotion. Smells amazing, lasts all day and I don't bother with the perfume. People who get close to me tell me I smell amazing!

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 10/11/2021 10:12

Soap and glory of you like the smell. It’s very Miss Dior Cherie reminiscing.,

Dreamstate · 10/11/2021 11:35

Another shout for Laura Mercies souffle moisturiser. Always get asked what I'm wearing.

I use cheap body lotion for all over and then apply Laura mercier in strategic places ...its not cheap so makes it go further doing this Grin
