Gorgeous smelling body lotion, not too expensive

38 replies

I know this has been asked on here before, but I'm struggling to find a lovely smelling cheapish body lotion/cream/moisturiser that I can just slap on every day without it becoming too expensive.

I tend to use White Company stuff - Seychelles and others - but it's a little bit spendy for me for every day use.

Any suggestions? I prefer scents not to be too heavy (musky) or massively fruity like some Body Shop stuff (don't really want to smell like a giant walking mango).

Thanks!

Clarins Eau Ressourcante, not cheap but totally worth it. I’ve used it for over a decade and love it.

Palmer's cocoa butter lotion is one that I always come back to.

I love that smell.

Another for the Sanctuary original orange one- I've had a hot bath (freezing in Yorkshire tonight!) and I'm covered in it head to toe and smell amazing. Off to get in my bed with clean sheets soon. I find the scent very comforting and always sleep well- £5 bottle lasts me maybe 3 months- usually 3 for 2 at Boots.
Leaves my (old) skin very soft and moisturised but sinks in quickly and never sticky.

I love The Sanctuary White lily & damask rose body butter, I get beautifully soft skin and scent.

Cocoa butter is my absolute go to. Nothing else is as moisturising and I don't mind smelling faintly of chocolate all day 😂

I used to like this a lot but I think I overused it and went off it a bit! Might try their other scents though 🙂

Another vote for & other stories!

I have Riviera Postcard, Sardonyx Fire and Arabesque Wood. All very different. Riviera postcard smells like a lemon dessert. The other two are more "grown up" scents - Arabesque Wood is fairly unisex, Sardonyx Fire more of a sultry sort of smell.

I like them because a little goes a long way and I can only use scented things sparingly because my skin is sensitive. The pump top bottles are good and they last ages. It's also quite a light texture which I prefer compared to something like a body shop body butter.
