Any suggestions?

Preferably not too expensive!

I like Laura Mercier Creme Brulee but it's about £40 odd squids...depends what you mean by expensive I suppose! To me that is a once a year treat these days.

AnyFuleKno · 20/06/2008 22:00

Oo Jo Malone ones are gorgeous too. Same price range as the Laura Mercier.

Kiehls

Flobberghasted · 20/06/2008 22:01

clarins
get it from feel unique .com

JackieNo · 20/06/2008 22:01

What sort of smell did you have in mind? flowery, fruity, herby (herbal?), woody?

Carmenere · 20/06/2008 22:01

Well I am loving the Body shop body butter atm, it is lovely and cheap so you can slather it all over.

foxythesnowfox · 20/06/2008 22:02

I like Origins ginger range. mmmmm.

I use the Body Shop body butter, but I don't think the smell lasts all day.

I don't hold a scent well, though.

Cloudhopper · 20/06/2008 22:03

I know it probably sounds a bit boring, but the Sanctuary at Boots have a good one - nice strong smell.

JackieNo · 20/06/2008 22:03

I'm using Lush's Karma Cream - smells of patchouli mostly.

Flobberghasted · 20/06/2008 22:03

You hold the smell of fox piss well expat

oh yyes

PussinJimmyChoos · 20/06/2008 22:04

I think flowery....the kind of smell that would make DH go mmm you smell nice, if he gave me a hug...

£40 is doable but as long as it lasts a reasonable amount of time otherwise I can't justify it! lol!

Hmmm, no foxes around here, Flobber. so try again .

DoubleBluff · 20/06/2008 22:04

Soap and Glory body butter is yummy

Flobberghasted · 20/06/2008 22:05

its me cod
am just tyrign to rile

expatinscotland · 20/06/2008 22:06

I think there might be fox piss in some types of posh perfumes, though.

Deer piss, maybe.

Sorry Puss .

PussinJimmyChoos · 20/06/2008 22:16

Should I just cut out the middle man and leg it to the local deer park and get sprayed then??

Possibly. L'Occitane has lovely stuff - their Lavender always smells lovely, in handcreams or body lotions.

expatinscotland · 20/06/2008 22:20

I like Arran Aromatics. Or, recently, I've gotten hooked on this shop, which I can patronise in person and get stuff in the Argyll/Inverary range purdies

Gorgeous stuff!

Just finished off DD1's nursery teachers' gifts in there today.

Cloudhopper · 20/06/2008 22:20

or this one, which i remembered while responding to the hand cream thread:

a bit more expensive but gorgeous

littleducks · 20/06/2008 22:27

the waitrose bottom butter! cheap as chips, smell lingers very indulgent i cant use it on my face for that reason
