Can anyone recommend a luxurious and scented body cream?

Hello

Looking for recommendations. I used to use body shop body butter, but then I think they changed the formula and it made me greasy. More recently I've been using nuxe, alternating the oil and body cream every other day, however I'm feeling a bit bored of it.

I would love recommendations for something with a long lasting scent that feels luxurious

Thank you

I love the white company Seychelles range are use the shower gel which I’m not really convinced kind of stays on the skin at all once youve rinsed it off but the body lotion is delicious.

Clarins Tonic body lotion (yellow one) smells amazing. The Clarins renew plus body serum is slightly more moisturising but doesn't have the gorgeous smell

Laura Mercier ambre vanille body soufflé :)

no great fragrance but i like the feel of kiehls creme de corps

TokyoSushi · 03/01/2022 22:48

Laura Mercier body souffle is incredible, ££££ though. I'm very sad that mine has run out!

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum cream. I'm addicted to the scent of this but it's also super-moisturising.

Molton brown rhubarb and rose. Gorgeous

Smell like?

Clarins Eau ressourcante silky smooth body cream. It is £££ and frankly the crack of body creams as you’ll be hooked 😂 but your skin feels and smells amazing.

@lolbrador I found the bum bum cream very coconutty/suncreamy smell and overpowering.

And otter stories do a Sicilian Lemon body lotion. It's actually not v expensive but smells so good.

L'Occitane Almond body lotion in the big glass jar. Smells amazing.

Avarua · 04/01/2022 02:58

L'Occitane, all the way.

Can anybody recommend one that is cruelty-free?

WrinklesShminkles · 04/01/2022 08:56

I like the Rituals body creams, they come in several scents and are refillable (some of the tubs are really pretty so you can choose one you like the colours of and put in a different refill). Very nice to use and seem to be cruelty free. They do a few in travel sizes if you want to try them out.

LookdeepintotheParka · 04/01/2022 09:22

Another vote for Rituals body cream! My favourite is the Ritual of Ayurveda (rose and almond oil) which is long lasting and very moisturising.

Big fan of Ortigia Sicilana - super-luxurious presentation and feels very treat-y.

They are cruelty free and have a good range of natural Sicily-inspired scents to choose from. I love the Orange Blossom (Zagara)

JustLikea · 04/01/2022 14:28

Yes to rituals body cream

I'm currently using Chanel No 5 body cream which smells gorgeous and lasts for a good while

Jo malone orange blossom

Loccitane Amande. So luxurious and a lovely delicate scent.
