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.

Chanel Coco. Body lotion or eau de t. lasts ages.

@Lookingoutside

Clarins Eau Dynamisante

Angel body cream (not lotion)

Coco Chanel body cream (Coco, not Coco Mademoiselle)

Just realised I'm echoing Lookingoutside's last recommendation. I also like the Clarins one (Angel is not to my taste) and make sure to get Coco and not Mademoiselle. They are totally different. The latter one smells like when you've just opened a tin of peaches in syrup!

Another vote for Korres!

Their neroli & iris is delicious.

Molton Brown orange and bergamot

Rituals stuff makes me feel bilious when i put it on.

Elemis frangipane or lime and ginger.
Bum bum cream is great.
Laura mercier souffles.

Elemis do a rose one which is gorgeous.

Bum bum cream

Soap and Glory Righteous Butter scent lasts all day on me, it’s a floral-fruity ‘clean’ kind of smell and cheap as chips- £8 for a big pot. Moisturises quite well, too.

Rituals Sakura or Indian rose and sweet almond

Penhaligons Halfeti, rose,grapefruit and spice scented hand and body lotion. Long lasting.

Sorry, wrong thread.

Rituals ritual of sakura smells very soft and flowery but is long lasting.
Dove body cream scent also lasts surprisingly long on my skin.
The Body Shop body butters are also long lasting and very moisturizing.
You can also buy an unscented body moisturizer and mix it with your own perfume.

MrsOk · 12/11/2021 11:06

Body shop moisturisers do smell good and last long.

What I tend to do as well is buy my perfumes during the festive season. A lot of times, you can get them in a pack with moisturisers cheaper than alone themselves.

Thanks for all the great suggestions!
I’m looking at the Bum Bum cream online. I dislike coconut or vanilla fragrances but I like clean, sporty (almost male) fragrances or floral ones. Is there one of the Bum Bum ones that smells clean or floral?
