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 creams are lovely and the beautiful jars can be refilled so slightly more green than others.

Clarins Eau Dynamisante

Angel body cream (not lotion)

Coco Chanel body cream (Coco, not Coco Mademoiselle)

White Company lime and bay body moisturiser is lovely. Smells quite strong. Fresh and lasts all day. I discovered it when I used a sample bottle in a hotel and loved it.

I love the rituals cherry blossoms and rice one

AtomHeartMotherOfGod · 10/11/2021 18:30

I also like L'Occitane Cherry Blossom lotion.

This stuff smells amazing and lasts ages. I used to be able to buy it in Waitrose but they no longer sell it, and for a while I couldn't find it online so thought it had been discontinued but seems not

Actually it was this one so I don't know if the other link is the new recipe? www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01K7IP4PU/?psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&coliid=I2E140V1805YPF&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&colid=30V6QK0I91WN0

Please not Lush. It’s hugely unethical and gives lots of people headaches.

Neom Happiness is wonderful and lasts well. Jo Malone seems to have really gone down in quality in the last couple of years and the scent just doesn’t last like it used to. Rituals Happy Buddha is gorgeous too.

Tianna476 · 10/11/2021 19:03

The red Clarins one all the way. Such a fresh and clean smell

Holly60 · 10/11/2021 19:08

Place marking

Soapsmith - delicious sophisticated fragrances 'inspired' by areas of London.

mumsey2be · 10/11/2021 19:16

Korres.

Ten rose Otto body oil is very yum.

mumsey2be · 10/11/2021 19:16

Ren!

Whatliesbeneath707 · 10/11/2021 20:09

Wow! Thanks everyone. So many good recommendations. I have made a list from your suggestions & I feel a shopping trip is in order.
It’s a shame that samples are not so easy to come by now.
Thanks again.

Rituals or Rip de Janerio bum bum cream

doadeer · 10/11/2021 21:43

Lol Rio*

justaddcandlelight · 10/11/2021 22:00

Another vote for Rituals. Bath and Body works is also fab. It's sold in Next now and a shop is opening in Westfield if you're in London.

doadeer · 10/11/2021 22:23

@Offredismysister

Talking of bum bum cream, the bom dia bright version is really nice. Good scent, long lasting & it exfoliates too.
Agree! I've been using this week before bed and I wake up still smelling nice. Even my toddler keeps sniffing my arms haha
Nitgel · 10/11/2021 22:25

Rituals usually have samples if you're near a shop

RenoSusan · 11/11/2021 17:34

I am allergic to most scents. If you like one and want to enjoy it please dab it under your nose.

Go shill somewhere else, LifeHasGoneCrazy

I'll second the Love, beauty, planet but change the scent to Mua Mua & Rose.

Remember too that it (perfume or lotion) often doesn't stop smelling, it's you that stops snelling on yourself. Your brain just disregards it after a while but you'll still smell nice to others.

My favourite smell in the world (other than my own babies) is petrol! Not Sure anyone makes a perfume or body lotion with that scent though lol 😆

If anyone knows Amber Noir by Shearer candles, I'd love anything that smells like that too.

Middleagedspreadisreal · 11/11/2021 18:29

Neom. Beautiful!

IdreamofPilates · 11/11/2021 18:35

If you can get it, yhe Aldi Lime Basil & Mandarin body lotion is fab. I've had many compliments about it. Failing that, my other go to's are Tiffany and Estee Lauder Pleasures, both lotions and layered with the matching perfumes (of course). Enjoy!!!
