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

Buy a Laura Mercier gift set with three or four different scents. They’re amazing and last longer than my actual perfume, I love getting a whiff of them through the day! Moisturising too Smile

Bath and Body Works for the long lasting scent, the body cream is shea butter based and is nice on the skin.

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

All their creams smell amazing. Bom dia, is probably my favourite. But do love the bum bum cream.

AlDanvers · 04/01/2022 19:12

Oh with the Sol de Janerio, I get compliments all day about how good I smell.

doadeer · 04/01/2022 19:21

Rituals - all of them i love
Bum bum cream - this is more ££
L'occitane almond cream

Those are my favourites

helenabonhamfarter · 04/01/2022 19:29

Yep- L'Occitane Almond

LeQuern · 04/01/2022 19:32

Elemis Nourishing Body Crème. It’s a new scent (blue packaging) and is like wearing cashmere. Beautiful - I use the shower crème too.

Gipsy water by byredo

Bussinbussin · 04/01/2022 20:06

Elemis Monoi for me, it's expensive but the smell is gorgeous, tropical flowers.

Another vote for Laura mercier Ambre and vanille, strong smell that lasts all day and you it sinks in, very luxurious.

Xmasbaby11 · 04/01/2022 20:09

I love the Champneys ones from Boots. Big pots, lovely luxurious fragrance. They feel like good quality - I love the whole range. About £12 a pot but often on offer.

Chattercino · 04/01/2022 20:10

Came on to say Laura Mercier but others have beaten me to it!

Chattercino · 04/01/2022 20:11

Yes! Actually I've changed my mind - Bum
bum cream from Space NK is amazing!

CMhater · 04/01/2022 20:11

@LookdeepintotheParka

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

@Jacaranda75

Can anybody recommend one that is cruelty-free?
@Jacaranda75 The bum bum one is Vegan
Jacaranda75 · 04/01/2022 20:25

@Suzi888 thank you. Do you know if it is cruelty-free also?

HundredMilesAnHour · 04/01/2022 22:15

Yes it's cruelty free. Clearly stated on their website.

Beauty Pie, Super Healthy Skin oil in cream body butter. Smells like holidays and an expensive spa all at once and it makes my skin silky and even toned.

LBB2020 · 05/01/2022 11:06

Another vote for both L'Occitane Almond and Laura Mercier (fig is my favourite)

Beebumble2 · 05/01/2022 12:12

@ShangPie

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

www.ortigiasicilia.com/bath-shower/body-cream

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

I’m also a fan of this make. Fortunately we have a shop nearby that sells it.

N05 coco chanel is lovely 😍

If on a budget, Aldi's hotel range copies the Jo Malone Pomegranate and Lime/Basil fragrances. Last ages.
