My Favourite Scented Body Products

Favourite body products

I was sorting through my skincare box I I realised that most of my body products smell SO good. I thought I would share with you my favourite ones.

Original Source Pineapple & Coconut Shower – The lovely Hayley bought me a bottle of this for my birthday last year & I have been hooked ever since. I’ve been through so many bottles & always have a spare one waiting in the wings. It smells sweet & fruity and leaves my skin so soft. It has the consistency of an oil (not too thin & runny thought) but still lathers up. Its the perfect morning shower gel.

ESPA Optimal TriSerum* – This is such a treat for your body, its so luxurious & feels incredible on the skin. Not to mention it smells like an exclusive spa (and is just as relaxing). As it is quite luxurious I like to use it sparingly & tend to use it once a week, I very much look forward to it and love how It keeps my body hydrated & feeling pampered. I have written a post all bout this Optimal TriSerum so if you want to know more about the skin benefits click through & have a read.

Nip & Fab Mango Body Smoothie – I’m sad to say I think this scent has been discontinued but I know Nip & Fab have other scents available. This mango one smells summery and fruity, the scent lasts for ages on my skin. The formula is lovely & thick as you would expect from a body butter so it is perfect for giving your skin a boost of hydration. I love using body butters & this one is so good. If you like fruity scents then this is for you, its smells like being on a tropical Island.

Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Souffle Body Creme – This stuff smells incredible. I can’t get enough of it. It has a grown up warm sweet smell, not a sickly sweet scent but a luxurious creamy sweet scent that lingers on my skin all night. I tend to use this after I have had a long soak in the bath & I can smell it all night long. Heaven in a pot. I love that it is in a glass jar too it looks pretty and luxurious in my bathroom.

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter – Such a favourite in the blogging world & a firm favourite in my household too. You get so much product for your money & that sweet scent is so familiar. I love applying a generous amount of this after shaving my legs & it leaves them soft & looking great. Its a staple in my skincare stash & I always have a tub on the go. I feel like it never lets me down & although I use other products (like the ones in this post) I always go back to this!

Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier Ultra Nourishing Oil* – Now there is one thing you should know about me, I love Fig & anything Fig scented I’m completely addicted. This Roger & Gallet Body Oil is incredibly nourishing and leaves your skin with a healthy glow & so hydrated but most importantly the Fig scent in this is beautiful. Its so long lasting and smells divine. It has that Fig scent that I love but it has a slight sweetness to it too & I think this makes a really nice Spring / Summer scent.

Valentines Treats From Roger & Gallet

Roger & Gallet Valentines Gifts

Roger & Gallet Rose Collection

Roger & Gallet are a French Perfumery House founded in 1862 by merchant Charles Armand Roger and banker Charles Matial Gallet, their products have such a rich history & they are famous for their perfumes and body products.

With Valentines Day fast approaching Roger & Gallet have lots of collections which would make beautiful gifts for that special someone but I have to say the Rose Collection is the one for me. Roses are so romantic and these Rose scented products are 100% better than being given a bunch of roses.

Roget and Gallet Rose Perfume

Rose Imaginaire is an Eau Fraiche*

This fragrance is inspired by the wonders of nature, and is a sensual and refreshing fragrance. It has notes of tangerine and juicy tones of strawberry, this freshness merges into the velvety scent of jasmine and violet to reveal the milky and elegant softness of sandalwood and patchouli.

The Rose Imaginaire perfume is the ideal fresh scent, not overpowering or heady but light and floral. I know most people think Rose scents are targeted at an older market but don’t pass this collection, I think it is perfect for any age. It’s easy to wear & makes the perfect daytime fragrance. I like that the fruitiness comes through and adds a refreshing twist to the overall scent.

Roger & Gallet Valentines Gifts

Rose Hand & Nail Cream*

Is lovely to have in your handbag or sat on your desk. It is enriched with shea butter and rose extract to keep your hands soft & nourished and it smells beautiful. The formula isn’t greasy, it leaves your hands smooth and the cream is absorbed quickly. A hand cream that does a great job!

Rose Body Lotion*

Formulated with rose petals & almond milk to keep your skin hydrated, smooth and silky soft this body lotion is a little slice of luxury for your body. Its a lightweight cream and is easily absorbed. I love that it has a pump, it makes applying it so much easier & fuss free. I’ve had gorgeously silky smooth legs since I’ve been using this.

I have to say that all three products would make sweet Valentines gifts & if you want to have a look at the full Roger & Gallet Rose Collection you can do here. They have a lovely selection of products, I would say the Rose Imaginaire is just beautiful and it would make such a thoughtful gift.

Do you celebrate Valentines Day?

Ted Baker Christmas Treats

Ted Baker A Regency Romance Collection

Packaged ready to pop into the stocking of someone special this Regency Romance Collection from Ted Baker is just adorable. Reflecting the Britishness of Ted Baker this collection is a nod to Regency Britain and the packaging  features quintessentially English Regency House designs. It’s so pretty, not to mention the sweet bulldogs inside each box. What a lovely touch that is.

This Regency Romance Collection consists of three scents and each of the three scents has a matching Body Wash & Body Lotion. No 1 Bridlesmith Gate & No 1 Langley Court, No 2 Regents Square & Upperbrook Mews and No 3 Furburts Place & Brompton Crescent. They come in pretty pastel coloured packaging which is subtle and looks luxurious.

Ted Baker Packaging

I’ve been trying out two products from the range

No2 Upperbrook Mews Body Lotion*

With an air of lady-like glamour, sweet sugary tones of nude pink with neon accents are used to present the delightful No 2 collection. With a sumptuous mix of freesia, peach and amber, this Body Wash and Lotion will ensure you dazzle from morning to evening.

This is a lovely lightly scented body lotion, so its not going to take away from your perfume. It smells fresh, floral & quite sophisticated. I love that it has a pump, this makes it so easy to use and ensures you get just the right amount of product. It has a light creamy consistency and I like that the formula isn’t too thick it makes it easy to apply to your skin and it absorbs quickly too. I have been using it on my upper body more as I like how this lotion is light and not greasy on my skin. I tend to use a body oil on my legs as they get very dry.

No3 Brompton Crescent Body Wash*

Fragranced with a lavish blend of lemon, jasmine and amber crystal teamed with fresh shades of mint green, No 3 is a little touch of luxury that will leave you feeling royally pampered.

This is my favourite of the two scents I’ve tried, it smells floral and would be perfect for Spring & bright sunny mornings. The scent is uplifting and quite fragrant. If you like your body wash to lather up then this is for you, its leaves your skin feeling clean and soft. I have been using it most mornings as I refuse to accept Winter is here. This is my little slice of Spring. This also comes with a pump which is so convenient in the shower. I wish all body products came with a pump, that would make everything so much easier.

Ted Baker A Regency Romance

Ted Baker always release great collections and especially at Christmas. If you’re looking for a Secret Santa gift or just something beautiful but budget friendly then I recommend checking out this Regency Romance Collection. Its beautifully packaged and the scents I have tried would work well for anyone.

The new Ted Baker Regency collection is now available from selected Boots stores nationwide and online at www.boots.com

Laura Mercier Body & BathLaura Mercier Creme Brulee

Oh my! This Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Souffle Body Creme is simply divine. It’s so luxurious and rich, I love using it. The formula is light but creamy and melts in to my skin. It doesn’t leave a greasy residue or sit on top of my skin, I take my time to massage it in and it leaves my legs especially so silky smooth and very soft.

Now on to the scent, this stuff smells incredible. I can’t get enough of it. It has a grown up warm sweet smell, not a sickly sweet scent but a luxurious creamy sweet scent that lingers on my skin all night. I tend to use this after I have had a long soak in the bath & I cam smell it all night long. Heaven in a pot.

I was lucky enough to get this in my Laura Louise Beauty Advent Calendar & I have promised myself that when it runs out I will treat myself to the gorgeous gift set from Space NK. I can’t be without this now I have smelt it.

Have you tried any of these Laura Mercier Body & Bath products?
