Okay, so I normally like Le Labo and Aesop aromatherapy associates Molton Brown all those lovely things but can't justify at the end of the holidays.

What body wash could you get from boots that smells a bit like those geranium fig Aveda kind of smell?

help.

Nivea Love Sunshine smells really good, like the sun tan cream! I got it in Superdrug for £2. Alternatively TKMaxx do some really good shower gels all at about £6.

I like the Aldi ones and also M&S do a reasonable range of shower and bath gels

JulietteHasAGun · 21/08/2026 19:00

Treacle moon, good range of different scents. This one smells like Brazilian bum bum cream. https://www.tesco.com/shop/en-GB/products/315562630

suburburban · 21/08/2026 19:26

I like soap and glory and Aveda

UnderThePressure · 21/08/2026 19:33

I like Sanctuary body wash - Signature scent, it smells really good I think and leaves my skin smelling nice for a while.
I buy the refill pouch because it's cheaper, works out about £7 ish for 500ml on Amazon.

FuriousInventions · 21/08/2026 19:51

Treaclemoon are good. Asda sell a few different varieties or you can order from their website. They smell lovely, a bottle lasts ages, and you can use them in the bath or shower.

Faith in Nature is my go to every time.

MyDriver · 21/08/2026 20:09

Faith In Nature- around £5.

I love the rose one and it's almost a dupe of the Ren I used to buy.

If you like tangy smells they also do a citrussy one, or aloe vera, lavender etc.

Activelife · 21/08/2026 20:16

I only use cheap baby wash about 79p from asda tescos and lidl.

Imperial Leather Rose and Frankincense Bath Soak is unbelievably nice and very, very cheap.
Ditto their Mallow & Rose Pampering Milk

Specialagentblond · 21/08/2026 22:26

try rituals. A lot cheaper than the brands you use but not as cheap as Nivea.

for cheap and cheerful but expensive smelling, Waitrose own is surprisingly nice.

TokyoSushi · 21/08/2026 22:28

Bayliss & Harding, the pink one, but in the black bottle, I think it’s rose & geranium. Also there’s a Dove one in a white bottle with a gold lid, I’ve only tried the pink one of that, but also lovely, around £6 but sometimes on offer.

I love this one too.

Also recommend the Lidl ones that look a bit like Aesop. I think there's a vetiver one and another one.

tobee · 26/08/2026 18:09

If you love the Nivea Love Sunshine shower gel they also do an Eau de toilette Nivea Sun which is gorgeous as well

lidl do some nice l’Occitaine dupes

L'occitaine, aesop, lush and rituals. I found a bottle of badedas lurking in the cupboard (im strictly a soap woman these days) and you know what, the scent gave me a real pick me up. Im hiding it from the men.

I find Baylis and Harding really drying. My son gave me rose scented bath salts in a pretty jar from a local shop which I know sounds very old lady ish but I really loved them! Bath salts are really good for you and cheap I think and you can add essential oils and moisturising oil for the MOST pampering bath.

Radox bath salts are amazing

I don't know that Aveda one but truly believe you can't beat Badedas for a bath. I love how fresh and clean it smells.

This is the best IMO. Absolutely beautiful. ❤️

TK Maxx does loads of Italian bar soap. I buy loads every so often.

DelphiniumBlue · 26/08/2026 19:58

If its for soaking in the bath, you can Imperial Leather bath soak at B&M, under £2 and lovely. I get the rose one.
