Does the Rosehip by Essano body lotion smell like their hand cream - if it does I really need to get some of it

I used up my Nivea body lotion and are using The Body Shop now.

I was using the vaseline cocoa butter one, it does smell great (like a dessert on your skin)! The palmer's spray lotion sounds like a good one too.

Organic Surge make beautiful moisturisers too, containing pure essential oils. The scent I was using was a light/subtle sandalwood and citrus (orange I think?) and it was actually really nice as those scents go well together. The moisturising lotion is great in general too - One of the best I've ever used.

Best smelling products, yumm

nivea and vaseline its great for my dry skin.

Dreamy 20 Mar 2015 12:33 AM

I have tried Nivea Pure & Natural body lotion

I like to have 2 different types of moisturisers, as long as they are both quick drying and very hydrating. One I can wear and not have much of a scent so it doesn't compete with a perfume, and one that is strongly scented to double as both moisture and scent.

You know what, I've smelt all but one of these and I've not liked any of them!

Jlgaddes 14 Mar 2015 8:46 PM

I haven't tried any of these but would love to try Rosehip....It sounds beautiful with it's light texture, perfect

LittleM 12 Mar 2015 2:20 PM

I really love Vaseline. Would have thought The Body Shop to make the list too

Themummabear 11 Mar 2015 7:09 AM

They all look great. I really like the rosehip (#6) brand. I use their cleanser at the moment and it's lovely to use.

Pam_Grills 10 Mar 2015 10:26 AM

I can't go past the Body Shop range, just love it:))

Sootyhere 5 Jul 2018 7:16 PM

Absolutely agree

emzaau 8 Mar 2015 9:36 AM

I love L'Occitane's almond range - they are an affordable luxury!

VivaliciousChic 8 Mar 2015 8:03 AM

I've tried nivea's and its ok. I love the Vaseline Cocoa butter the best! Makes me feel like buying this now, but i will be good amd finish my aloe vera vaseline at home first

Soap & Glory Righteous Butter smells heavenly. Soap & Glory Butter Yourself smells quite fresh and fig-gy!

ren812 8 Mar 2015 3:58 AM

These all sound really nice. I love coconut scented moisturisers.

Dreamy 7 Mar 2015 11:14 AM

I have tried Never pure & natural moisturizer not love that it has a pleasant smell

Scarlett_Angel 7 Mar 2015 3:26 AM

I LOVE scented body moisturizers! Current fave is Smoky Poppy Body Butter from the body shop - love most of their stuff. Also love MOR body butters. The L'Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate sounds lovely! ðŸ’—

Summary 6 Mar 2015 12:59 PM

I love Nivea lotion.

Yohanna 6 Mar 2015 12:45 PM

coconut or chocolate....mmmm decisions

Hayley644 6 Mar 2015 11:09 AM

They all sound lovely, I often prefer moisturisers without a scent though.

Aleesa 6 Mar 2015 10:53 AM

I love the smell of anything jasmine or Gardiner ! A find a body butter always last a bit longer than a normal lotion. The Body Collection which is an Australian brand do a lot of amazing smelling body lotions for a great price.
