I have been given some of the shower oil which I love. I rarely go into city but was in Manchester recently so wandered into the shop. I love the smell of almond and of vanilla so I could have bought plenty if I had the £££
Can anyone recommend any of their products that are particularly good?

The handcream is fantastic - the shea butter one in particular.

NeverTrustAPoliceman · 13/02/2023 07:36

I love the lavender handcream, I use it at night.

Zoetrope1 · 13/02/2023 08:38

Another vote for their hand creams - my favourite is the one for dry skin.

Also the verbana lotion is divine

Cococomellonn · 13/02/2023 08:40

I think all their products are good quality. I'd just look online and order what you like the look of and chances are you'll enjoy it.

I used to like their almond shower oil but think something has changed, and it seems to smell like Play doh to me!
Love the lemony stuff, and the shea, though.

LadyEloise1 · 13/02/2023 08:46

I too love the Almond shower oil.
I love the matching body balm.
But it is very expensive.
I don't rate the hand creams which come in a very small size for about €10 and so are really expensive. But I have very dry skin on my hands and need heavy duty moisturiser. On "normal" hands it would be a lovely treat.

Another vote for the lavender hand cream. I use the lavender shower gel, it comes in pouches so you can refill dispensers without having to throw away a fancy bottle.
the shampoo is excellent, I use it every fourth wash, alternating with an Oat gentle shampoo and an anti brassy one.

I like the rose scented stuff. The only problem is they keep changing the recipe. Years ago they did a wild rose body wash that was absolutely gorgeous. I ended up scouring eBay to buy it.
Have a look on QVC, they often have bargain outs L’Occitane.

Tinytigertail · 13/02/2023 08:51

The almond body lotion is gorgeous. Also love their handcreams.

Girlintheframe · 13/02/2023 08:52

Their soaps are lovely. Smell beautiful, lather well and last for ages

So1invictus · 13/02/2023 08:53

The Divine cream is divine. But very spendy and probably no better than other less expensive moisturizer. But god, it's lovely.

LookItsMeAgain · 13/02/2023 09:04

I love their perfume in gel ranges.

A little goes a long way!

Also if you get the perfume in gel and the hand cream in the same range, it works really well.

100% agree with the suggestion of the lavender hand cream at bedtime. The scent helps me nod off anyway.

chatw0o0 · 13/02/2023 10:11

I like the Almond Shower Oil/Milk and also the Almond hand cream. They also have some nice perfumes in rollerball/purse size (the rose and the cherry scents are very light/pretty).

LadyEloise1 · 13/02/2023 17:34

I wish they'd do an almond perfume to match the shower oil. There's so much love for the oil it seems mad not to cash in on it.

madamsapple · 13/02/2023 17:40

Both the Lavender and the Almond hand creams are lovely.
I too wish they would do an Almond perfume.

Bananaman123 · 13/02/2023 17:45

The shampoo and conditioner, anything with the almond scent. You will get good deals on qvc and their own website normally has free gifts

WeAreTheHeroes · 13/02/2023 18:08

If they did an almond perfume I'd be in danger of eating my own arms!

soboredtonight · 13/02/2023 18:13

Is it this op?

I put mine up where my Dd can't reach it or she'd be washing barbies hair with it.

I use the almond shower oil and the cherry blossom shower gel, the lavender bubble bath and the hand creams.

MarieInternette · 13/02/2023 20:40

Their 15% Shea butter is amazing. I’ve just discovered it for my post holiday skin and it’s amazing. Will always have to use it now. Not cheap but worth it s skin feels lovely after using it.

Tgif2023 · 13/02/2023 20:43

I had a face cream, it was fantastic. Their shower oil was very good too. Can't remember their names, I would buy that brand again even if expensive.

plumduck · 13/02/2023 20:49

The intensive shea hand treatment cream

hattie43 · 13/02/2023 20:49

Divine face cream and Shea butter handcream , two staples for me .

This is lovely and a little goes a long way.

Userusing1 · 13/02/2023 21:24

I like the hand cream, M&S sometimes have it on one of their 20% off beauty offers.
