99 replies

Looking for a shower gel or body wash which smells divine and makes me think I'm in a spa! some chance! Preferably moisturising / luxurious feeling and long lasting smell. Happy to spend a bit more than normal.

Any suggestions?

I love anything by Elemis!

Sealover123 · 16/11/2023 08:05

The Lush ones smell good and I find their scent lingers

My favourite isn’t that expensive tbh the Fenjal shower crème, smells amazing, strong fragrance and really moisturises.

Anything from Penhaligons!

Espa is nice. It has a lovely scent and feel. I used a freebie recently and am now so disappointed it's finished.

It's on the Christmas list!

SabrinaThwaite · 16/11/2023 08:09

Elemis, Nuxe or (more pocket friendly) Fenjal.

The Australian Bodycare shower gels - even my bathroom smells amazing afterwards.

The almond L’occitane shower gel is gorgeous, it’s always on my birthday/Christmas list as I won’t buy it myself! The whole almond range is lovely.

Molton Brown

Another vote for Molton Brown - Rose & Rhubard or the blue one (can't remember the name)

Soap & Glory - sugar crush (very zest and smells of lime

I was given some bits from m&s apothecary range as a gift and was really surprised at how high end it seemed for the price range. The scents are very luxurious and spa like, I actually look forward to using it.

The original scent Sanctuary Spa range (available from Boots, amber/peach colour packaging) is a traditional spa scent. Also love the other Sanctuary scent ranges, but that one is the most "spa" like.

Neom
Aesop
Clarins Tonic (yellow) or Relaxing (blue) shower gel - although someone on S&B said they had changed, I'm still working through my stash
Chanel soap and shower gel or bath oil is amazing if you like the fragrances
Elemis, especially British Botanicals

Vanillalime · 16/11/2023 09:00

I love the Elemis shower milk - I think the fragrance is neroli & something? It’s quite pricey, but feels so luxurious and you get the most wonderful lather.

I’ve just treated myself to their green fig shower milk but I’ve yet to try it.

My all-time favourite is Nubian Heritage. You can buy it on Amazon.

davidcameronsshed · 16/11/2023 09:50

Thanks for these ideas!

No to Lush I'm afraid. I've always had a horrible icky feeling when I walk past their shops and find the smell completely nauseating!

Molton Brown are ok but not moisturising enough for my liking.

I'll have a look at the Elemis and Espa which sounds nice.

Bit bored of Aesop but love Le Labo! https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/le-labo-shower-gel/13319703.html

Or, on a budget, Baylis & Harding Oud, Cedar and Amber. Am normally a horror for wanting expensive beauty products but I used this at a friend's house and was v. impressed so went straight out and bought it. You'd never guess it was drugstore.

Two of my favourites at the moment are Pure Greek Olive - Sea Salt Shower Gel
and

Eau Dynamisante by Clarins

Sorry left out that the first one is Korres

Rituals orange and cedar or hamman (eucalyptus). Really lovely spa smell-and it’s shower foam so feels lovely on your skin. Tbh, I find their other scents a bit meh but those 2 are spa lovely.
