July is drawing to a close, so it must be time for our annual shower census....do tell us about the scented products in your bath or shower! How many scented shower gels and/or bar soaps are in your shower right now? And do tell us the names / products. If you have any great scented products in other categories (hair care?) tell us about those too.
Or, as always, just talk about something else.
Things that were in my shower last year, and that I still have (or have replaced): Nesti Dante Emozioni in Toscana Villages & Monasteries bar soap, Shikai Yuzu shower gel (an oldie but goodie), St. Ives Pink Lemon and Mandarin Orange Exfoliating Body Wash (cheerful, cheap as chips).
New this year: The Body Shop Mango Bath Blend (mixes nicely with the Shikai Yuzu and that is how I usually use it), Alba Botanica Mega Moisture Coconut Milk shampoo and conditioner (too heavy for me, but I am using them up slowly), Garnier Fructis Damage Repairing Treat Shampoo + Papaya Extract (I love the smell but it doesn't do my hair any favors), Aveda Botanical Repair Shampoo and Conditioner (a splurge, but I adore the smell and it's also the best shampoo and conditioner I've ever used for my slightly dry, frizz-prone hair).
My shower gel game is weak at the moment — I need a trip to Lush! I am looking forward to hearing what you all have been using and loving.
Note: top image via Fireclay Tile, and shows their 3x6 Subway Tile "in calming Rosemary with contrasting grout".
I have Old Spice shower gel, Cremo Citron & Vetiver body wash, and Olay Age-defying body wash. I also am trying to transition to soap. I bought several, and I am currently using 1802 Beekman goat milk soap in Meadow Lark. It’s hard to get used to soap since I have been using body wash for decades.
I use soap only occasionally, and agree, it feels weird now. Why are you trying to go back to soap?
Mainly for the fact that there is less packaging. My tiny town does not have recycling, so I think soap packaging is better than a plastic bottle. Doesn’t Lush have package-free shampoo?
Ah, good reason.
Yes, they have package free shower jelly thingies too.
I never got on the body wash train, so I’m still using bar soap, as I have for decades. I like that a bar of soap lasts for a long time. Whenever I tried using body wash or shower gel, I just seemed to use so much of it that a bottle never lasted long.
I am with you Lisa D, and there are so many delightful bar soaps….
Me three. I won’t turn down wonderful-smelling shower gel that comes my way (e.g. Orange Verte minis from Fairmont Hotels), but I don’t buy it for myself because of the plastic packaging and because I find it dries out my skin. I much prefer goat milk soap, which I get at trader joes, or from various Etsy sellers when I want scented bars. Bonus: Most Etsy sellers will sell their “odds and ends” soap pieces at a discount, which I use as guest soap for overnight guests.
Love Shikai Yuzu, but am out at the moment. I’m slowly using up some C&E shower gel in the blue La Source scent, which I decanted into an empty Bigelow hand soap pump bottle because I really don’t like C&E’s slick plastic packaging. There’s always some Rainbath in our shower too – used infrequently but steadily, and we have gallons of it in reserve. My shampoo/conditioner line-up is KMS Tame Frizz and KMS Moist Repair, which work best if I don’t match them up — Tame Frizz shampoo works better with Moist Repair conditioner, and vice versa. My hairdresser agrees! And there’s no scented soap in there most of the time — I’ve been sticking with Basis soap because it rinses very clean, from skin and from the shower floor. My skin is happiest with Basis, but occasionally a Mediterraneo soap makes a brief appearance if I’m feeling indulgent. ?
Commando so far, but will spritz Paris-Deauville for a haircut appointment this morning. Happy weekend, all!
Rainbath! Oh, memories… of mom yelling at me to stop using this as it made a mess of the shower! LOL. Loved the smell of this.
Me too … it does take some effort to rinse completely, and that dark color doesn’t blend with anybody’s bathroom. ?
I also love Shikai Yuzu as well as their Sandalwood.Shower gel.Their formula has been kind to my sensitive skin.
Ooh, sandalwood – I should try that one!
Yes!
Thanks for the reminder about Mediterraneo soap. I think it may need to make an appearance in my BeautyHabit cart and then on to my bathroom soon.
Hello, lovely NST people!
It’s been a while, but I’m trying to adjust to this socializing somewhat with people again situation. I don’t know why that has affected me as far as visiting websites and blogs and commenting. It’s not you, it’s me, trust me.
Robin, since we’re both vaccinated now, do you want to meet up in King of Prussia sometime? As of 2019(?) they had a LUSH store. I don’t know what’s happened with the KIng of Prussia mall in the last couple of years. I know some stores in and around the Exton Mall closed. If you’d like to e-mail me, the address is neyronrose at gmail dot com.
I haven’t even updated my Goodreads entries on books that I’ve read and reviewed lately. A lot of that has been silly romances with werewolves and the “alpha/omega” trope, so it’s a little embarrassing. (LOL!) But I can’t deal with heavy reading in my fiction books.
For non-fiction, I’ve been reading my gardening books. The older books have some interesting insights into the “heirloom” flowers that I’m trying to grow.
In the shower, I just used up LUSH’s “Fair Trade Honey” shampoo, which is one reason I’d like to visit the store. 😉 Otherwise, I mostly just use Dove cucumber and green tea soap, one of the few scents that my mother can stand. Sometimes I use a little of the coffee-vanilla scrub that the talented Koyel made. 🙂 I have dozens of kinds of scented soap, and at least a dozen other shampoos and conditioners with floral or spice scents, not to mention floral-scented lotions, but those are a no-no here at home.
Take care!
I want to hear more about your fiction romance/wolves/alpha book recommendations.
Coffee-vanilla scrub — yum, yum, yum
Will seek this out pronto!
Neyronrose, I am vaccinated but also very worried about getting the delta variant. Have not been in a mall since before the pandemic, so do want to visit a Lush store but not sure I am ready!
Hope we can meet this fall, we’ll see how covid is looking in PA.
Nice to see you Neyronrose! Dove cucumber and green tea is still in my shower from the spring.
I’d love to hear about the wolf/romance series!
I started researching growing vegetables like tomatoes and peppers. My first sprouts just popped up!
It’s late in the season, but I thought I’d try it, see what happens. If I’m successful, perhaps I’ll try lettuces next. 🙂
Good to know you are well, neyronrose!
I enjoy reading about gardening even though I only have a balcony with highly unfavorable light for plants. I also enjoy seeing and gardens in my neighborhood. About a month ago I was sniffing every peony I could reach from the sidewalk and concluded that the idea of a peony note in fragrance is a bit absurd, given how much variation there is. Many were so-so, but I did encounter one that had the most wonderful slightly musky fragrance.
Enjoy summer!
Happy Weekend everyone!
We have a return of hot again so I’m refreshing myself with Le Jardin de Monsieur Li.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CRs6tdJh4_J/?utm_medium=copy_link
Right now in my shower there are Felce Azzurra Green Tea and Ginger shower gel, from Avon: Wilderness (lemon&eucalyptus) and Tranquil Moments (lemon&blackcurrant)
We are expecting hot this week too!
I love and need this poll!
Benjamin Soap Co. had a product that I’m desperate to replace — a body scrub made of sugar and some type of oil. It was incredibly moisturizing and the scent was juicy, Valencia oranges. Sadly they don’t make it anymore, but I did try their rose/lavender version of this which lacked the moisturizing component – it’s just scented sugar. So I’m on the hunt for a replacement!
Other loves and currently in rotation:
– Rose Jam shower gel (we shall never part)
– L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil (use more for smell and moisture, not a cleanser)
– One With Nature Peppermint Dead Sea Mineral Soap (a solid, strong smelling peppermint body soap.. lasts and does the job well)
– Aesop Geranium Leaf Body Scrub (splurge and worth it for the smell alone; scrub is meh)
SOTD: TBD; just up and enjoying a chill on the couch with coffee, but thinking I’ll do Rose 31 today
I use the L’Occitane bar soap in rose every once in awhile. I will look for the almond oil
If you have to pick a ride-or-die shower gel, Rose Jam is a pretty good one to pick. I bought a bottle once, the 8-ounce size because anything more seemed so splurgily expensive and I couldn’t find a way to justify it. (And I’ll buy like four solid scents at a go, but shower gel is beyond the pale? I don’t know how my brain works.) I used it very sparingly and never bought another. Maybe one day. I have the body spray, anyway.
Yeah, it all depends. Shower gels I tend to use on days I’ve not been out and about and probably can skip the shower all together TBH. They are for a lighter wash.
Otherwise, I use the bar soaps, which means the more pricey products tend to last quite a long time for me 😉
Bath and Body works has some good sugar scrubs. Looks like one called Sunshine Mimosa might be good.
I have this one! It’s very scrubby and exfoliating and foams up when rinsing, so you smell VERY nice and not greasy at all. Plus the scent is uplifting!
I recently cleaned my shower of all the little bottles that I had in there but wasn’t using on a regular basis so it looks a bit barren at the moment! That being said I have Lush Nana shower gel (which thankfully for me does not smell like bananas but like their let the good times roll facial cleanser) and their incredibly minty Magic Crystal scrub. The scrub’s not for daily use but about once a week makes for a wonderful wintry blast in the middle of this hot summer. I also have a honey soap I cannot remember the brand name of that I buy from the fancy stationery shop downtown. It has such a beautiful aroma!
SOTD is St Julep from imaginary authors! Mint is just so nice right now!
You smell great today. That IA is so perfect for summer and really fun to wear. ?
It really is! Thank you!
I want a banana shower gel, so I’m disappointed Nana does not smell like it! I did not like The Body Shop’s banana but have finally used up that bottle.
I have a feeling banana is probably just a hard smell to nail? Anything banana scented has never actually smelled like a banana to me. Kudos to you for finishing the bottle! I probably would have let it languish on a shelf in my bathroom for a couple of years before tossing it…
Yes, that might be it. I do like CSP Vanille Banane, so I don’t mind a fake-y banana in general.
Hi, all – I’ve missed reading and posting the last few weeks but we’ve had guests, guests and then more guests. So this will be quick as we still have guests! And more in August. Somehow I’m managing to also work during this time, but I’m not managing much else.
I just finished my Lush Happy Hippy which I loved, and will repurchase eventually. At the moment, I am fairly obsessed with sea salt bar soaps – primarily for hands by the washbowl in my bathroom rather than in the shower. I have Pre de Provence, A La Maison de Provence (thanks pl67) and Swedish Dream Sea Salt soap and love them all.
Happy weekend!
I need more Happy Hippy too! And do hope you are having fun with all the guests 🙂
Yes, great fun!
We have guests arriving tomorrow! Hope you’re having some fun with yours.
We are, thanks!
I love Pre de Provence soaps!
Glad you’ve been having fun with your guests, D! I’m about to start a bottle of Happy Hippy, which will be perfect in the hottest months of the year.
Ciao everyone.
Having a great time drinking my chai with my in-laws.
For the farmers market, the tomatoes are starting to come and I am happy..
SOTD is two sprays of Ninfeo Mio and Jo Malone Mimosa and Cardamon. An interesting layer of scents.
I just finished reading Boyfriend Material. it was a light fun read, and I finished most of it while carrying out my jury duty service.
For the Shower Poll I am a creature of habit I have used the same shampoo/soap forever, so nothing of interest to report here.
Very interesting scent combo!
And agree, tomatoes are here! Will pick up some tomorrow on my weekly farmer’s market jaunt.
They are so delicious.
Are you the one you loves YSL Libre? I was walking behind someone at the market and she smelled so good, I asked what it was and she said YSL Libre intense or something like that.
Yes! No! Did, and now I don’t. It’s just too strong. I’m sure it smells good out and about, but on me all day it’s headache inducing.
What is your shampoo/soap? If you’ve used it that long, it must be good stuff!
For the hair I have used TIGI Copyright Volume shampoo, because my hair stylist uses this at her salon so I buy the biggest bottle. For soap, this is embarrassing, I use caress bar soap and occasionally the rose one from L’occitane and Saforelle for my more intimate areas…Told you I was boring!
No, not embarrassing or boring at all! Great choices.
Caress soap is lovely!
Love Mimosa & Cardamom. Adding some fig to it sounds intriguing.
Mimosa & Cardamon is one of my loves too. Ninfeo Mio is a favorite of mine. Somehow they are both working together beautifully
Love Mimosa and Cardamom! I liked that AG perfume but have never picked it up when it was available in the nice colored bottle… Now it’s too late.
One bottle of Soap For Everyone in Citrus Mint, one of the very few scented body washes my husband can stand. (It’s almost impossible to find an unscented one that isn’t expensive and/or harsh: Soap For Everyone makes an unscented one but we tried it once and it has a vague industrial-chemical smell that I had to cover up with orange oil. This one does the job, and, being men, we use it as shampoo, too.)
One bottle of Nuxe Rêve de Miel Ultra-Rich Cleansing Gel For Face And Body, which I got on sale (I wouldn’t have paid full price!). I genuinely hated the scent of it at first, but eventually, since I was damned if I was going to throw it out, I got used to it. It smells sort of harsh and detergenty, but, I eventually conceded, in an interesting way.
One dish of Edwin Jagger shaving soap in Sandalwood, because I shave in the shower — the whiskers are basically copper wire and need a bit of a soak before they’ll consent to being hacked off without bloodshed. Shave cream and toothpaste are the only toiletries I ever splurge on.
And that is all. Today I’m wearing I Profumi di Firenze Limone di Sicilia concentrate, an intense blast of pure Italian sunshine. You can almost taste the yellowness. Doesn’t last long, but it’s heaven while it does.
That’s so funny about the Nuxe. I would have assumed it would smell so perfect that I’d never want to buy anything else. And that is exactly what is happening to me with Aveda Botanical Repair shampoo, which I guarantee I would have hated 10 years ago.
Shampoo: Honest orange vanilla. It also works as a body wash but I don’t use it for that since I’ve got something else at the moment.
Conditioner: Paul Mitchell lavender and tea tree oil
Face wash: Aveeno Calm + Restore I’ve developed rosacea since moving to New Mexico and this helps a little.
Body wash: B&BW Sunset Glow, which is delicious and caramelly.
Bath: I use either epsom salts or Bathing Culture bath salts. Let’s just say bubble bath and I unfortunately do not have a pleasant relationship!
SOTD: Alice and Peter Showy Toffee.
Bonnyhill face scrub in black tea and sugar. I would love a perfume like that: just black tea and sugar. Olay body wash in shea + lavender. And Herbal Essences shampoo and green tea + cucumber. Now I don’t use the conditioner because then my hair looks super oily. Would love to splurge on some after wash hair oil that would make my hair look shiny & beautiful.
SotD = Japanese Cherry Blossom body lotion and EdT.
Ooops I was going to post this as my today’s comment. Sorry!!
CHI makes a shine spray that’s really nice. It has a very fine mist which makes it hard to overdo.
Ohhh I take a note of that. Thanks a ton!!
What is CHI, please? I’d like to try that!
It’s a hair product. Here’s a link for you:
https://www.ulta.com/p/shine-infusion-hair-shine-spray-xlsImpprod4730013?sku=2113780&cmpid=PS_Non!google!Product_Listing_Ads&cagpspn=pla&CATCI=pla-1218016567897&CAAGID=108111962393&CAWELAID=1593413985&CATARGETID=330000200002750695&CADevice=c&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIg_ekooL_8QIVmm5vBB3JzANJEAQYASABEgIeMvD_BwE
I switch out my shower products seasonally, so for summer I currently have the following:
Wavertree Pineapple, Coconut and Lime bar soap
LUSH Rose Jam shower gel
B&BW Banana Vanilla shower gel
Body Shop Night Jasmine shower gel
Carthusian Sicilian Orange Peel shower gel
I’ll make the switch to Autumn in September. ?
I’m quite seasonal too, but for some reason I’ve managed to use my bath products year round ok. The Rose Jam I think of as more for colder months, so I do tend to reach for it a little less during summer, but I just go for long without it!
I like Rose Jam all year, but I have such an embarrassing bounty of bath and shower products perimeters must be set! ?
Winter for me is more rich vanilla, eggnog, spices, a fabulous cocoa orange from Philosophy, that Rose Jam gets lost in the mix.
Oh my, this sounds amazing having a seasonal rotation! I need to diversify stat.
Hi all, I have been absent for the last couple of weeks, because while moving heavy stuff around home and organizing the top of one of my closets, I slipped and fell from a ladder and badly hurt my lower back, neck and fracture my left ankle. I have been in severe pain that I am managing with muscle relaxers, pain killers and anti inflammatory pills. I should start physical therapy at the end of next week. Hope to start feeling better soon.
I stopped by because this is one of my favorite polls. I am going to enjoy reading everybody’s comments. Soap bars and gels is my second weakness after perfumes. I already lost count of how many I have. Currently in my shower:
1. Pre de Provence Verbena soap bar.
2. Sunaroma Peppermint soap bar.
3. One with Nature Dead Sea Mud Mineral fragrance-free soap bar.
4. B&BW Aromatherapy Tea Tree & Lavender shower gel.
5. B&BW Aromatherapy Tea Tree & Lavender Essential Oil Mist, which I spray on after my shower before bedtime.
6. B&BW Aromatherapy Eucalyptus & Tea Essential Oil Mist, also spray on after my shower at bedtime.
I am commando and hope to be back to my perfumes soon. Have a great weekend everyone! ?
Robin, can we do this poll twice a year, so we can share the shower options for hot and cold weather? Just a suggestion.
I kind of agree! This is one of my favorite polls.
I agree!
Agree – I always find lots of fun new things in this poll. (Which, of course, is just what my wallet needs. But it’s important to get clean now and then and it might as well be fun, right?)
Oh, no! That sounds like a horrible fall, I’m so sorry. Rest and heal, and hope you feel better very soon.
I’m always telling my husband when he goes out to be careful and yet, homes are filled with all kinds of trouble!
Glad you posted, pfl67. Here’s to healing!
How awful…I’m so sorry to hear that happened to you! I had physical therapy last year for a torn rotator cuff, and while it obviously isn’t the same situation as yours, I will say it helped immensely so hopefully it does the same for you.
I’m so glad you posted! Very sorry to hear about your fall. Wishing you a smooth recovery and sending hugs????⚘??
Omg I’m so sorry pl67!
I live in fear of falling off ladder. Hope you are healing nicely.
So sorry this happened, pl67. Hope you can find diversion from all the aggravation here & elsewhere. Sending healing mojo.
I’m so sorry about your fall. Hope you are feeling a bit better and are healing well. I am very glad to see your post.
So sorry to hear about your accident. Here’s to feeling better and healing quickly!
OUCH! Hope you mend quickly!
Falling twins, get well soon.
Ouch!! Hope the PT goes well and you are back in good form soon.
So sorry PL67! I hope you feel better soon…sending you hugs.
Oh, pl67, I’m so sorry about your fall! I hope you start to feel better soon too!
So sorry to hear about your fall! Get better soon!
Oh, no, PL67! Glad you will start PT soon and I hope you are feeling better soon.
Ouch, ouch and more ouch! Hope you are feeling better soon!
I’m so sorry you fell and injured yourself! Falls are frightening. I hope your pain lessens ASAP, and the PT helps you when the time comes.
I am so sorry about your injuries. Thanks for posting so we can all send you healing vibes. I hope the pain improves quickly. Hugs!!
So sorry to hear about your injuries. I sure hope the pain is being managed. sending you a gentle hug.
Oh no pl67! Sending you wishes for physical therapy to work wonders and for swift healing!!
Hope your perfumes can start bringing you comfort again soon.
Glad to hear from you but sorry you’re in pain. Be extra kind to yourself and get better soon!
Oh no, I am so terribly sorry — but was worried so I’m glad it isn’t something even worse. Very good luck with physical therapy!!
Of course we can do this twice a year. Just added to February calendar.
Thank you, Robin! Looking forward to be in better shape soon.
And thank for doing the What’s in Your Shower poll, twice a year. So exciting! ?
Oh wow, what a nasty accident! I hope you recover quickly. Sending healing vibes your way.
I’m very sorry to hear of your accident! I hope your PT and recovery go well.
PerfumeLover67,
So sorry to see such you endure a fall like that. I hope the medications ease the pain and PT helps. Maybe, you will get a little rest in.
Nice goodies in the shower! Thank you for getting us this poll twice a year.
Feel better, rest up.?
So sorry to hear about your fall perfumelover.. I hope you are healing well, and managing to take it easy.
PL67, I am sorry to hear about your fall. I’m glad you are on the path to recovery and hope that it goes smoothly. Sending hugs and healing vibes your way.
Late to this!
I hope you heal and have a respite from the pain you are experiencing!
My shower doesn’t have much. Gotta keep hives in check.
Bioderma shower oil is very gentle and a giant bottle lasts four months or more.
Neutrogena unscented sesame body oil
Oribe shampoo for silver hair. It’s expensive but again, one bottle lasts about four months. Phyto detox for scalp. Gentle but gets products out of hair.
Using body glide under my bra has helped keep rashes down this summer.
So as I head to the shower after 11 delicious hours p, post shower will be Satori.
my kids use Bioderma shower oil in the winter months. It keeps their skin soft and I love the light scent.
Is the Oribe a blue shampoo? I am looking for a good one.
No Robin, it’s not. Purple shampoo was darkening my hair so Oribe had just come out with a collection for silver. It’s a creamy silvery blue that brightens. I have the conditioner too, but don’t use very often as my hair is a tiny pixie.
You can get at Sephora or online at Amazon. I love it.
Thanks so much!
I’ve used Oribe hair products before and found them luxurious and delightful. I’ve been tempted by the silver shampoo and might buy some for myself as a little treat soon.
Lately have been pretty loyal to Shikai’s Starfruit shower gel, as I find it non-drying.
Would love to hear from anyone who splurged on the recent Chanel limited edition No 5 bath products (don’t think I’ve ever tried a Chanel shower gel).
My fave shower gel so far from a perfume house is Piguet’s Fracas. It used to come in a screw top bottle which I found inconvenient, but now it’s on Piguet’s site in a squeeze tube.
The Chanel no 5 bar soap is nice but doesn’t seem to lather very well. I have the CM shower gel and lathers very well. I do like the lotions.
I have officially broken up with the shampoo/conditioner routine, and now use Pura D’Or cleansing conditioner. It has totally changed my hair. It has a lovely rosemary tea tree scent.
I also still have a bottle of Avalon tea tree shampoo, which I only use about once a week.
Those, and a bar of Aegean camel milk soap, are all that’s in my shower.
Same here — I’m a curly girl, and shampoo makes my hair frizzy. I use Cantu co-wash, which is inexpensive and works well for me.
I’d love to hear more about the co-wash. Do you think it would be cleasning enough to use post-workout?
Do you think the Pura D’Or is cleansing enough to use post workout? I love the idea of giving up shampoo.
Late to this:
With cleansing conditioners, they can be used everyday, but if you are super sweaty after a workout, just consider RiNSiNG your scalp and hair without additional product. Then use your styler.
Currently in my shower… first there’s the ‘always gotta have’ stuff:
– Body Shop Olive shower gel
– Lush Sleepy (I always have something lavender available, not usually Lush but Sleepy is pretty nice)
Then there’s the seasonal stuff, generally citrus scents in summer:
– Lush Happy Hippy
– L’Occitane Citrus Verbena
– Fresh Senorita Margarita
– Molton Brown Bursting Caju & Lime
– Yes To Shower Cocktail Revitalizing (grapefruit / orange / kiwi)
Shampoo/conditioner is Pantene, those giant Costco bottles, whatever they have as long as it’s not the ‘moisturizing’ shampoo stuff that turns my hair into a sodden grease ball, yuck.
I finished off Senorita Margarita last summer. Loved it! One of the few scents I’m tempted to buy again.
I just have so many it’s hard to justify a repeat but that one is so perfect for summer.
It is fun, isn’t it? Smells just like a classic frozen margarita.
Yeah I have years worth of shower gels in my stash. Hard to justify anything new (though at least I go thru shower gel a whole lot faster than I go thru perfume!)
Oh, and SOTD is Perfumer H Mediterranean. Fig and bitter greens, which is fitting me just right today.
I’m a big fan of the MB Bursting Caju and Lime, especially in the summer.
Shampoo and conditioner are mostly Klorane (I rotate thru a bunch of their scents since they no longer offer my two favorites, Magnolia leaf and Papyrus milk)
Deep conditioner mask is either Carol’s Daughter Monoi or Klorane Mango butter
Bar soaps are Crate 61 (sweet almond or lemongrass), Nova Scotia Fisherman (a variety), or Sugar Bubbles Bath Bakery (Annapolis Apple Blossom is a favorite)
Shower gel is usually Living Clean Monoi oil or Le Petit Marseillais Apricot and Hazelnut (which isn’t stocked locally anymore)
Bonus: I have been watching a bunch of soap making videos on YouTube and I love how intricate and beautiful the ones by Creamy Obsessions are… just really bummed that she doesn’t ship outside the US
Oh, another rabbit hole to go down with soapmaking! How fun!
Totally engrossing with gorgeous end results. Enjoy! 🙂
Soapmaking sounds great
Currently in my immediate shower area is the following:
Shampoos
1. Johnson’s Baby Shampoo
2. Marilyn Miglin Pheremone Conditioning Shampoo
3. Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition
Conditioners
1. Garnier Whole Blends Honey Treasures
2. Finesse Lustrous Color Conditioner
Shower Gels
1. Vitabath Spa Day Lime Citron Basil
2. Skinn By Dimitri James Pink Grapefruit Exfoliating Body Wash
3. Lush Almond Blossom Shower Gel
4. Lush Ginger Shower Gel
5. Method Man Bergamot & Lime
Exfoliating
1. C&E Tarocco Orange
2. Bobby Brown Beach scrub
Soaps
1. Chanel No. 19 soap
2. Shea Butter Jasmine (brand unknown)
Extra
1. Yves Rocher Brilliance Shine raspberry vinegar rinse
Clearly I have a problem!! This excludes products inside the bathroom vanity of shame. Although some of these bottles are nearing the end and I’m trying to use them up thus becoming an empty.
Bathroom vanity of shame, lol.
How is the Vitabath Spa Day Lime Citron Basil, you like?
I do like it! It’s more lime forward but you can smell the basil in the background. Sadly the scent doesn’t stick around too long although it would be a nice layering shower gel with a favorite Guerlain or Chanel scent featuring similar notes.
Thanks! The Pomegranate & Blood Orange in that series looks tempting too.
In the shower I have Atelier Orange Sanguine shower gel, The Exotic Perfumer glycerine bar soap in passion fruit/guava, and a big 39 oz. bottle of Tresemme Luxurious Moisture shampoo. I have more stuff in the cabinet but it takes me a long time to use products up.
My tomatoes just keep getting bigger but no riper, so I turned the water off and I am hoping the stress makes them red, as it’s past time for them to be ready to pick.
I’m wearing Mediterraneo today, it’s hot.
Lol, does stress make tomatoes turn red? I know nothing about gardening.
Passion fruit guava scented soap sounds divine!
My shower looks mostly like the candy section of the grocery store: Snow Fairy shower gel and body conditioner; a small amount of Rose Jam (from a big bottle bought 3 years ago); egg-nog shower cream; a shower cream that smells a lot like Sleepy but from an inexpensive local brand; scrubee; Satsuma shower gel; Adriatic Peony (body shop shower gel).
What do I use the most? Dove soap…
Me too it’s Dove soap, white as the pink one is not sold in the UK.
I’m using the white one too. I like the scent a lot – and lately I’v not been wanting any intense smells in the shower: a light musky rosey cleanliness is just fine!
Dove user here too! I use Dove at my dermatologist’s recommendation, because my skin is so dry. I like the lavender Dove.
That sounds really nice actually. I love lavender.
There is a lavender dove!!!?
I remain faithful to Fenjal, creamy shower gel and the creme Bath oil which I use exclusively when I take a bath.
Also shower gel in vanilla & raspberry by Original Source which I discovered when I moved to the UK (they have a great selection of scents) mango is also a favorite, one 100% kaolin soap from Provence and Dove soap. Also Fenjal body spray and The Natural Deodorant Lemon and Geranium. Shampoo is E45 dry scalp.
Also…discovered that Fenjal has a fairly nice body lotion…
Oh yes, it’s excellent it was released at the end of the seventies ims.
Reading all the comments, I’m realizing just how boring my bath and shower are! I use Dove Lavender soap, at my dermatologist’s recommendation, because my skin is so dry. I also use unscented sesame bath oil for the same reason (unscented because I don’t want to interfere with my SOTD!). But Portia suggested a wonderful use for the hair oil that came in many gift sets for SJP Stash — I don’t use it on my hair, I put a few drops in my bath with the unscented oil, in the evening. The whole bathroom smells wonderful.
My hair products for shower and bath are also very boring, but I might upgrade to some of the Zara Emotions products, as I like their scents a lot.
I’m a bit of a maximalist with regards to everything, but the urge to elaborate and complicate everywhere really does a number on how well I function. I realised I might NOT want a mega range to choose from every time I want to wash…
My bath/shower gel collection is plentiful.I prefer the LUSH shower gels to their bath bombs and have Rose Jam and Happy Hippy as staples.I love tea scents as well so have Elizabeth W Sweet Tea and L’Occitane Bergamot Tea Bath gels.In the summer I like to use The Body Shop.Coconut Shower cream and have a little bit of TBS Virgin Mojito left also.
My other staples are Shikai Yuzu and Sandalwood shower gel.
Other fall/winter favorites are TBS Vanilla Pumpkin and Vanilla Chai.
BBW White Pumpkin shower gel is good also.
My shower currently has Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner (the original one with the green cap), BBW Butterfly Showers, Vanilla Bean Noel, Aromatherapy Black Chamomile and Dark Kiss shower gels, BBW Coco Shea body scrub, and Cleen Beauty Acai facial scrub (from Walmart, very nice). Usually use either Dove unscented soap or a goat’s milk soap from the farmer’s market on my face.
SOTD so far is Scents of Wood Plum in Cognac (thank you, H!). Will probably switch to something lighter later since it’s really hot here today.
Hot here too! Does the original herbal essences still smell like the original formula from way back when?
I think so.
Rainbath. That’s it, summer, fall, winter, spring. Yep, I’m boring like that, but I love it, and it works for everyone in the family. My college daughter even loves it so much that I send some with her to school. I get the biggest size at Nordstrom rack which seems to always stock it. Shampoo and conditioner currently is Kenra volumizing formula in the big size from Ulta.
Holy cow, it’s hot here!? Not complaining though because the sun is out and it’s gorgeous. Started the day in Assam of India. Ran some errands and that has faded so now I’m in Chanel Biarritz. So pretty.
In non-smelly news, we got a camp postcard from madtownteen today that said she’s having a great time. She leaves today for a week of canoeing and setting up campsites each night. I hope she has good weather. I texted my college daughter a couple of days ago to see how it’s going. She’s there as camp staff. She texted me back “I’m having the time of my life”❣️ So happy for them both.
The painters started on our house yesterday! Excited to see the transformation, but feel bad for the painters, the weather forecast looks like some real scorchers are coming up.
Rainbath and the Body Oil is pretty awesome for the whole family- it smells so fresh and is a good player with other scents!
I agree! If it came in a perfume, I would wear it!?
So glad both daughters are well and having a great time!
Thanks Robin!
Thanks for the camp update! I don’t know why, but I feel very invested in kids/ young adults having a great summer this year.
Wait, never mind. I know why. It’s because last summer was so stinky for the young.
Lol, yep, that would about sum it up! My college daughter sent me a picture of the two of them together when my youngest got there and they looked soooo happy. It warmed my heart.☺️
Sounds like a good canidate for a holiday card picture. Glad to hear madtownteen had a successful bus ride there and that both kinds are having fun at camp.
Thanks Vee! It will definitely make the annual photo calendar for the grandparents.
Lush Rose Jam shower gel, SMN Melograno bar soap & shampoo, Bath & Bodyworks Noir shower gel.

Melanin Hair & Body Oil
Dr Jart Body Lotion
Dr Jart Body Oil
Shea Moisture Coconut shampoo
Melanin Leave in Conditioner (minty herbally fresh)
Kai shampoo & conditioner (once in a blue moon)
Bonus:
Laundry Detergent: The Simple Truth Organic Orange Bergamot. I bought this by accident and I am glad I did : the laundry smells incredible when done, especially when dried outside!
Oh, how strong is that detergent? Would love my sheets to have a nice mild smell of bergamot.
Kai hair stuff would be lovely…
Late to this- sorry!
I just washed all the slipcovers on my sofa and my bed linens this past Saturday and dried them outside. Very gentle mild soapy bergamot scent and the house smell lovely when the linens were inside. But it is not at all overwhelming!
I am always late, so no worries….and thanks!
These are in rotation for summer… Yves Rocher Grapefruit Thyme Shower Gel (which I think is discontinued grrrrrr…), Pacha Dirty Hippy soap, a very small bar of L’Occitane Mandarine Verveine soap, Korres Olive Pomegranate Shower Gel and Olive Blossom Shower Gel, escents “Wash and Bubble” in the Rejuvenating scent which is grapefruit and bergamot – I would use anything with that scent from their line, it’s so good – they are a company based in BC, Canada. Last of all a big bottle of Crabtree & Evelyn Avocado Oil Bath and Shower gel before they disappeared and came back all “reblanded”… can I get another grrrrrrrr? I loved their Aloe Vera scented products too. ?
LOL at “reblanded”, but sorry!
Those escents products look tempting.
Haha! C&E’s packaging over the years was beautiful – particularly those with botanical illustrations – so much character. Do check out escents. We used to have a couple of shops in Toronto but now it’s online only.
Oh man, I miss that Avocado bath and shower oil!
Yeah, I’m rationing what I have so it lasts a while! The new C&E packaging is reaching out to a younger target market so I wonder why didn’t they maintain that product line… the avocado is practically a religious icon among that age group! ?
I go kind of high and low in my shower. Le Labo Mandarin shower gel (thank you Nordies notes), B&BW Grapefruit Froze’ shower gel, B&BW Warm Vanilla Sugar moisturizing body wash, Necessaire Bergamot body wash (thanks to springpansy and the swapmeet), Pantene Hair Volume Multiplier shampoo and conditioner, Garnier Fructis plumping treatment mask, Clinique Pep Start 2 in 1 exfoliating cleanser, St. Ives avocado facial scrub.
I usually have the Shikai Yuzu shower gel in the rotation, but will wait to get more of it, since I went on a B&BW bender recently.
SOTD was Zoologist Musk Deer in the morning – very much like Musc Ravageur. Ran a couple of errands and tried on clothes at Target. The dressing room was oppressively hot, so I didn’t tarry. Spritzed some Mandarine Basilic when I got home. ?
I agree, it is like Musc Ravageur, but somehow gentler.
Did not see this poll coming, and just happened to shower today with Viva La Juicy shower gel, from a Plato’s Closet trip. It is that fresh musk while in use, and then *poof* nothing to smell here, folks. I followed up with SotD Champs Elysees Extrait. I am intrigued with all the Lush fan reports, and want to follow up. However, I am sure I will be sticking with my Dove Sensitive Skin bar soap. Mr. Mossy is sensitive to many soaps, and not a user of fragrance, so I just go with the flow.
P.S. On today’s shopping trip, in the Kroger “Manager’s Special” bins, there was a bottle of Alberto VO5 Strawberries and Cream shampoo for seventy-nine cents so *how* could I resist! Looking forward to that one.
What a great deal! I’d use it as shaving cream if nothing else.
Good idea!
We have a tiny house with one bathroom so my husband and I share everything. In the summer it’s all about Dr Bronners liquid peppermint soap, it’s been that way for years. There’s just nothing better than coming home on a hot sweaty day and having a cool peppermint shower, ahhh. He uses Tree Hut sugar scrubs in different scents, right now it’s lemon/blueberry. I use Olay in shower body conditioner (used to just be called lotion) and I’m not sure what scent it is. Pantene shampoo and conditioner and a bar of local soap from soapygnome.com, Rock Star, a salt and patchouli soap. I just bought their new avacado soap and I’ll be using it on my face.
I love Dr Bronners lemongrass (it’s our hand wash), I should try the peppermint.
I miss the old bottles that said Dilute Dilute Dilute!! I used to dilute it one to one with water but I find it’s better straight up these days.
I don’t dilute it either…I wonder if they started diluting it themselves?
I’m very boring with shower and shampoo products. Matrix shampoo and conditioner, Lux bar soap – all the more money to spend on perfume 🙂
I’ve done my first test of Spell 125, I’m not sure what I think yet, but looking forward to more testing.
That is a smart way to think of it!
My bath/shower gel collection is plentiful.I prefer the LUSH shower gels to their bath bombs and have Rose Jam and Happy Hippy as staples.I love tea scents as well so have Elizabeth W Sweet Tea and L’Occitane Bergamot Tea Bath gels.In the summer I like to use The Body Shop.Coconut Shower cream and have a little bit of TBS Virgin Mojito left also.
My other staples are Shikai Yuzu and Sandalwood shower gel.
Other fall/winter favorites are TBS Vanilla Pumpkin and Vanilla Chai.
BBW White Pumpkin shower gel is good also.
I wish the Lush bath bombs had less dyes and sparkles – I don’t need it on my skin and I certainly don’t need to scrub it off my bathtub on the regular! It’s a shame because some of the scents are so tempting.
I just can’t justify the prices for a Lush bath bomb for one bath.Too much pressure! I usually broke them in half to get 2 baths from one of them,but then went to the bubble bars where it was easier to get multiple baths from one bar.The shower gels last much longer and I can use them in the shower or the bath.
The Lush price increases have definitely influenced the products I buy from them now.
Oooh my favorite poll question!
In the shower:
Lush Flying Fox Shower Gel
Korres Japanese Rose Shower Gel
Savon Orizia (Orizia L. Legrand soap line) Verveine de Venus bar soap
Formulary 55 Narcissus bar soap was just finished today and the Orizia just replaced it
Giovanni Smooth as Silk Deep Moisture Shampoo. It smells like the old Sunny D drink. Do they still make that?!
Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Fortifying Shampoo
Love Beauty & Planet Delightful Charcoal & Bergamot Delightful Detox Conditioner
Carol’s Daughter Monoi Intense Repair Rinse Out Treatment
Skintimate Coconut Delight shaving gel, smells like B&BW Coconut Lime Verbena
Coming up soon because my shower gels are almost finished:
Lush Happy Hippy shower gel
L’Erbolario Accordo Arancio shower gel (mandarin, bitter orange, Chinese lantern)
Wearing Arquiste Boutonniere tonight in honor of the little row of gardenia bushes I just found in my neighborhood. Talk about a heavenly smell. I might take be sneaky and snip one soon hehe. They’re in front of a large condo building and are pretty plentiful so I wouldn’t feel bad.
Took a walk with the boyfriend this afternoon, as we usually do on Saturdays, and we ate some insanely tasty tacos for lunch at a new-to-us restaurant. It was a perfect day to eat outside and drink a cucumber mule. Wore some 4711 Lemon & Ginger body spray.
Oh, I will have to look for the Skintimate Coconut Delight — used to love the BBW CLV.
Insanely tasty tacos + cucumber mules sounds so lovely!
I was inspired so chose Coconut Lime Verbena for my SOTD. I bought a bottle from eBay last year.
SOTD = Frapin 1270
I now have a FB!

Powder Room hand soaps:
– Just thunked Orla Kiely Geranium
– replacement Method x Lisa Congdon LE Soft Vanilla (the one with the tiger motif). The soap smells like musky vanilla
– Method Green Tea + Aloe foaming hand soap
You have a great Lush body spray collection! I have been tempted to buy Let The Good Things Roll for the fall but it isn’t in stock in any stores nearby right now.
I try to stop by when I’m near one. A month ago there were zero body sprays and last week there were several choices.
I’m currently looking for orange blossom scented body products if anyone has any recommendations?
Me too! Me too! I adore orange blossom.
Senteurs d’Orient makes a great orange blossom bar soap–looks like they’re currently sold out of the body size, but the hand soap is available~
https://usa.senteursdorient.com/collections/ma-amoul-soaps/products/orange-blossom
Thanks! This line looks so nice. Add to basket ?
Bottega Veneta Knot Body Cream
This may have been discontinued? Wth. Geez..they can keep producing crappy sweet musks..but get rid of the good stuff..sheesh. I am losing faith in the perfume industry lol
https://www.glossier.com/products/body-hero-daily-oil-wash
Orange blossom and Neroli!
Jo Malone should have some products.
I have some orange blossom lotion from Panier des Sens, which I really like! They have other orange blossom-scented products too.
https://us.panierdessens.com/collections/the-absolutes/orange-blossom/
Some years ago I found a bottle of their Provence-scented shower gel for dirt cheap, and I adored that scent. I think it’s the same as the Soothing Provence scent which is now on their website; it was very citrusy. I might have to buy some to compare ;). I’ve also tried their rose geranium shower gel, which was also good. I sound like an ad, but I have no affiliation!
My parents are coming home from California Tuesday night and it’s going to be some cleaning projects that need to get done before they come home. All of my packages arrived by Friday and most of the evidence (packages) are dealt with.
I have tons of bath and body products and most of it is Amouage. Epic, Lyric, Memoir, Honour and Dia. Chanel is no 5 and Coco Mademoiselle and BBW Cucumber Melon. Most of the time I use Dove bar soap.
In CM edt right now and don’t know what I will wear after my shower.
Hi Dawn. How is the Amouage Lyric bath/body stuff? I love Lyric in cool weather.
Lyric bath/body products are fabulous. The Amouage body products are still expensive on discounters.
Thanks. No surprise on the $$$.
Thank you all for your well wishes. They are deeply appreciated and very uplifting. See you soon again ?.
Shower roll:
-TJs TeaTree Tingle body wash. I am oddly addicted to this.
Gimme all the Mango!
-RawSugar Raw Coconut Mango body wash.
-BB&W Mango Sea Salt (anyone know of something similar?)
– Honey Mango shaving cream
– Klorane Mango deep conditioner
-My beloved Olaplex shampoo & conditioner. Smells grapefruity?
-Grapefruit goat milk bar soap (brand unknown).
– Bits & bobs, etc.
I really should drive out to TJ’s. I am off tomorrow and my do it late morning.
I love scented body products. But they have to compete with the multitude of hair-conditioning products! The joys of having curly hair.
Gels: Chanel No. 19 shower, Neutrogena Rainbath shower gel, and Clarins Eau des Jardins shower gel.
Soaps: Roger & Gallet Sandalwood soap and Baudelaire Provence Sante Linden soap.
R&G sandalwood soap is so nice 🙂
It’s so enjoyable. Sad that it’s difficult to get in the U.S., it used to be everywhere! :/
I love Linden scented soap this time of year!
In my shower:
• The Unscented Company solid bar shampoo and conditioner
• Uriage Xemose oil wash (close cousin to the Bioderma body oil that everyone loves here and that I usually use)
Sadly that is it! Getting product envy looking at everyone’s lists.
As well I have typically lived in cities with hard water so have been a bit leery of soap products, but just got some lovely info from a soap maker on what ingredients can make it more suitable!
Apparently if the soap has EDTA or sodium citrate (chelators) included, that will solve soap residue/scum issues if you live where the water is crunchy like me!
Layered Byredo Gypsy Water oil perfume with MFK APOM pour Femme today, and it’s a glorious combo.
We have hard water too…we keep a water filter on the showerhead, that helps.
SotD = Masque Milano’s Tango. We had some heavy rain today (I love cozy rainy weather) and was so glad to own Tango in my collection.
Love Tango! For me it surprisingly works both in hot and cold weather.
For me too. I live in FL so it is hot here in the summer even when it rains. Yesterday when my lil’ lied down for a nap, I also had a little snooze. While lying around in my bed I enjoyed… smelling Tango on my skin and clothes. This is how much I like it. I just kept sniffing myself…
10.5 hours sleep. Cleaned my house yesterday, did laundry and got out the scale for today’s official diet Olympics.
I am manifesting 17 pounds gone all gained during covid.
A massage later today and some time on my inside bike. I can do this.
SOTD Trish MCEvoy mandarin and ginger lily, a perennial favorite for summer.
Congratulations! Very impressive results.
2nd that … go apsara!
Way to go, Apsara!
I’m very impressed with everyone’s bathroom products collections.
My looks like nothing at all:
– Ormonde Jayne Ta’if shower gel that lost its fragrance but still works.
– Last drops of Annick Goutal Musc Nomade shower gel. It still smells divine, I’ll be sad when it’s gone.
– Caswell Massey Sandalwood soap-on-a-rope. This is my third bar, and I’ll be getting the next one soon.
– Living Proof Full Shampoo and Conditioner
– Oribe Gold Lust Shampoo and Conditioner
It was interesting to see how different everyone’s tastes are. But it looks like I’ll be getting the leading favorite (by the number of mentions) – Shiksi Yuzu.
I give up trying to fight my autocorrect for the brand name of that Yuzu gel – I didn’t know all those variations it tried to change it to existed as words!
You can buy ShiKai Yuzu by the gallon and when I see one, which is rare, that’s what I get.
There’s an OJ shower gel?
I do have some of the Rose Jam sg , some coconut strawberry soap and rose soap(Yardley for a buck each)..rose spray..a box Youth Dew Powder is in there somewhere. I had some rose body butter from Natrual Grocers..but odd..the scent wore off and now is just an unscented lotion! Smh. Coconut dental floss haha..some Penhaligons Lavendula cream what’s left of it——did they discontinue Lavendula?! Tragic. I have a creamsicle type of scented sun block or at least it smells like that to me lol..Nivea cream cause it smells amazing. Some Wild Madagascar BBW perfume spray which was given to me..but it’s just used as a room spray lol. Also some Mad About You BBW spray..not used much. That sums it up! I have no excuse to smell bad lol
Ooooh, who makes the dental floss?
I’m going to make a wild guess and say CocoFloss. I have it in coconut and strawberry. It’s nice flat unwaxed floss that doesn’t shred.
At one point they had a 3 pc set called Neapolitan that had vanilla, strawberry and cocoa reels. I would have bought that in a heartbeat if I wasn’t already set.
Yep…that was a daily lemming here eons ago, and I have tried it.
Cocofloss
Thanks, I have tried that one!
Very late to the poll, but I was traveling yesterday and settling into my home earlier today.
Shower gels: Rose Jam, Bathing Culture’s gel (favorite shower gel ever, even beating Tramp) and Beauty Pie Super Healthy Skin (smells like oranges)
Scrub: Ouai scalp and body scrub
Lotion: Dream Cream
Body Oil: Bathing Culture’s, Aesop Breathless, Manifest by Provision Scent
Hair (mixed ip because I’m trying to use stuff up): Kevin Murphy Angel Wash shampoo, Dae conditioner, Bread Hair Oil, Kevin Murphy Killer Curls, Dry Bar Whiskey Fix hair paste
SOTD is Pacifico by Snif. Blind bought based on notes and it’s an absolute winner. I actually just looked to see if I could get a backup bottle, but it’s sold out. So happy I went for the gamble.
It Takes me literally years to finish a shower gel, because i use just a tiny amount, so my Skin does not get dry.
At the moment i have
Betty Barty Musk
Korres Fig
Biagiotti Roma
Truth or Dare
Moist Diane japanese shampoo for dry hair
Fanella No Yellow shampoo for grey hair
A Lush shampoo bar, maybe its seanik??
I’m wowed by everyone’s collections, so varied and impressive! My list is simple in comparison. I have some Molton Brown Orange and Bergamot shower gel (a gift), some Lush hand soap that I don’t know what the flavor is ?, but it’s pink in a little flat slice like out of a roll cake with a red rind (?), and lacks much scent (another gift), plus regular white Dial soap for the shower and Mrs Meyer’s lavender soap for hand washing. John Frieda No-Frizz shampoo plus one of his silver shampoos (purple stuff). I feel kind of Spartan compared to other people! My SOTD is from my newly acquired FB (last week), Acqua di Parma Bergamotto di Calabria, in the exquisite ceramic blue bottle with gold and white floral decorations on it. I succumbed to the lure of the beautiful bottle–the scent is nice too especially for summer. I keep forgetting to take and post a picture of it.
That IS beautiful! Congratulations!
I’m in Mandarine Basilic again today, but layered Vetiver of Haiti from The 7 Virtues on top as an experiment. Zara Vetiver Pamplemousse is on my radar for some reason, so this is probably close enough!
I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Dog park for us this evening when it cools off. I made peanut butter rice krispie treats because I can and might take some to the dp for the two leggeds.
I just dropped by to say that I found a US store/website that carries Perfumer H (Lynn Harris’s own line)!
https://www.tiinathestore.com/collections/beauty
The actual shop is in Amagansett, New York, in you’re anywhere near there.
The beautiful handblown glass bottles are expensive, but the 50-ml size is fairly affordable.
They don’t offer samples on the website, but I plan to contact them and ask.
Chiming in late, getting some great ideas, just what I need at the moment.
I’m a bit thin on the ground; my favourites for summer are Roger and gallet Bois de Orange shower gel, Lush Happy Hippy, which I also need to restock on, and Rose Jam. I’m going to get another scented bar soap from National trust shop soon, they are beautifully scented and moisturising. The rhubarb one is gorgeous.
