What's the worst smelling shower gel you have used?

[OneUmberJoker]

The one you least prefer
I would say foamburst

The imperial leather sweeties flavoured ones - love hearts, etc.

A pine fragranced one from Aldi that smelt like toilet cleaner.

Lush's Snow Fairy and the Lidl dupe Winter Queen... way too sweet for me!

I really dislike anything pine scented and I also dislike the Baylis ones, they are just crap.

Some chocolate smelling one I got many Christmases ago. It was just wrong! 😂

Anything with grapefruit - to me it smells like sweat when it’s in a body wash!

I struggle to like any unless they are expensive, (usually gifts) I prefer a bar of Wrights Coal Tar soap myself.

Agree with grapefruit smelling terrible, though I liken it more to cat piss then bo.

Also not a fan of vanilla unless vv expensive. Cheap vanilla is very sickly

That tea tree one - Original Formula - that inspired a viral SM post. Yes it does burn your flaps, but it also smells like Ecover bog cleaner. 0/10.

The blue ones are always horrible

Echo this
I smelt a grapefruit shower gel in Boots earlier and it was vile. I also hate anything vanilla scented, it gives me a headache!

A melon scented one from Lidl, truly vile!

Not the worst but the Source Tea Tree shower gel really wakes you up when it gets in your eyes!

This is giving me " Alan Partridge and attractive divorcee Jill" vibes.

Someone once gave me a tropic gift set of 5 mini shower gels - every single one smelled lovely in the tube but when used had that sour stink of sick

Controversial probably because lots of people seem to love it but L’Occitane almond shower oil. I treated myself to a bottle from Amazon and was so disappointed as it smelled really unpleasant and not almond-y at all (I was hoping for the smell of Vidal Sassoon shampoo from the 80s). Suspecting I’d somehow received a fake or it had gone rancid, I went in a branch of L’Occitane just to sniff a bottle off the shelf but no, that smelled the same! A kind of dirty, greasy smell 🤢

I think they try and fail to be like Molton Brown. I do like their liquid hand soaps though!

I had a really expensive Italian shower gel and was so looking forward to using it - but it smelt like furniture polish.

This thread is a gift to anyone with a Secret Santa recipient they detest.

Anything from soap and glory-I can’t stand the smell of that whole range.

I actually hate the loccitaine citrus one. I got given a huge bottle of it and put it in our guest bathroom hoping guests would use it up. My MIL saw it in there and gifted me the full range of it the next Christmas!

Yes smells like sick.

I really don't like the smell of anything with black pepper in it - seems to have crept in a lot with hand creams

I came on to talk about this! It smells like playdoh.

The Neal’s Yard honey one - it had a whiff of fish, to me.
