Korres: What's Good?

I just wonder about this brand, the packaging is gorgeous and I am tempted by it: I signed up for the website and will get 15% off the first order. I love the look of the olive oil soap and of the yoghurt cleanser. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

I was going to ask whether it was pronounced ko-res or kors?

The Greeks say Ko - res

Inspired by this thread I stopped at TKs after work and picked up Korres Black Sugar and Olive, honey and herbs 😊

Santorini vine shower gel is beautiful

The Black Pepper aftershave is absolutely amazing ( with possible aphrodisiac effects ) !

Vicliz24 · 27/07/2026 20:20

@ElsieJay haha yes I absolutely agree 😂

@OvaHere That looks great, I will look out for it this year.

I love their shower gels, the fig one was my favourite but they canned it.

I didn’t know about the advent calendar, that’s very appealing.

Their perfumes and body sprays are lovely. Lefko is a gorgeous summer scent - really fresh and clean smelling.

I also recently got their Sikinos body spray in TK Maxx. I has some decanted in toa little plastic spray bottle in my handbag and it is great in hot sweaty weather to freshen up and feel a bit cooler.

I like the olive oil soap, but my dd bought the Aegan Bronze perfume while we were in Greece.

I think it's a newer one.

If you are going to be in Athens, stop in at Hondos as it was a lot cheaper in there than the normal pharmacies that stock in.

That is one incredible shop!

I swear by the lime ginger body lotion, smells divine!

waitrose used to stock this brand, they may still do. I’ve never bought the olive things that are more popular, but I really liked anything Korres that was pear or fig scented.

Really sadly they don’t. I used to love the fig shower gel.

We had the lime ginger shower gel in our holiday accommodation this year, so this fragrance will always be Cyprus to me.

@ElsieJay haha yes I absolutely agree 😂

If their sales boom massively this year it’ll be thanks to us !! 🤣🤣

It really is a great brand. I used to buy their face masks and scrubs but haven’t seen them for a while. It’s the only shower gel I ever use - the violet one is just glorious. And yes - TKM often has it for a fiver.

CharityShopMensGlasses · 28/07/2026 20:01

Notino often have their stuff cheap :)
I absolutely love the washes and body lotions especially the pomegranate one. It smells amazing!

Highlighta · 29/07/2026 08:34

Slightly off topic, but still on the Greek skincare theme.

I bought an oil cleanser called Clinea Melt Off Balm and it was so reasonably priced. I so wish I had bought more now, as it reminds me off the Clarins Pure Melt that was discontinued years ago.

I also wish I had looked at the rest of their range a bit more, we were focusing on Korres and Aptiva more, but I think this brand is worth a second look at.

UnaOfStormhold · 29/07/2026 08:42

Not summery but the vanilla and cinnamon range smells gorgeous. Must take a look for more of their stuff next time I am in TK Maxx if the stocks haven't been depleted by a sudden influx of vipers!

My nearest Waitrose has Korres -‘not sure of the specific scents on the shelves though!
