I've got The Body Shop coconut lotion. It smells gorgeous. Pure Fiji body lotions smell amazing.

I actually have the L'Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate, and i love it, the scent lasts all day and the feel of my skin afterwards is amazingly good. I love L'Occitane products, the scents are amazing also including the skin products.

I love gorgeous smelling body lotions and moisturiser.

Natural Instinct's Body Lotion is lovely too. Smells Divine :)

The Essano Rosehip lotion sounds yummy! I love rose scented body moisturisers. The Body Shop has lovely ones too.

I bought the Palmers one to take away for our tropical holiday recently, and I must say, it definitely suited the holiday. My favourite body lotion is a discontinued L'occitane one that smells like Violet scented roses.

I have tried the L'occitane one and it smells amazing! Not only that it's so smooth and creamy without that greasy feeling.

Misy Rose 10 Oct 2014 6:16 AM

I generally like floral scents although the L'Occitane sounds amazing :)

Snazzie 10 Oct 2014 6:05 AM

I like the NIVEA Body Pure & Natural Body Lotion, it really just fresh and natural. I'd love to try the L'OCCITANE Almond Milk Concentrate. L'occitane products are delightful.

Kassalee 10 Oct 2014 5:38 AM

Haven't tried any of the above, but would love to try the L'OCCITANE Almond Milk Concentrate. A recent favourite is Premium Spa Australia's SOS Moisture Balm in frangipani and coconut!

Anita1502 10 Oct 2014 5:20 AM

I haven't tried any of these. I might have a look at Nivea today in the shops. One of the best smelling moisturisers I used was by Aesop. Don't remember the name though.... something with orange rind I believe.

I'd love to try #6! I was in Priceline the other day and I tried an Antipodes hand and body cream (the green one - not the pink one, which I already have). I love the fragrance and that's going to be my next purchase as soon as I get through some of the other oils, lotions, creams and body butters I have.

I've been thinking of getting the L'Occitane almond body wash soon. May have to have the matching moisturiser I think!

Huyen 10 Oct 2014 5:08 AM

i've tried the vaseline one and while it does smell nice and quite sweet - it's not particularly my favourite scent. Though I am biased towards floral scented lotions
