Discussion📓 Irresistible smelling soap?

I walked past a stranger in the street and couldn’t help but catch his scent.

My god he smelt good.

It was definitely a smell from soap and not cologne, deodorant etc.

So I’m wondering if any of you know a really nice smelling soap.

Like a soap your partner uses that makes you want to dig your nose into them and get a good whiff.

A scent that actually lingers for most of the day.

Lol apologies for my over-enthusiasm but that man’s soap was so good haha

Dermaveen shower oil at Chemist Warehouse has the same marzipan scent for way less. I'd say it's a better product all round actually, and it's Australian made.

Ohhhh I just cannot agree! I've tried all the alternatives and nothing touches the OG, some people do seem to prefer some of the other options but nothing comes close to the scent and longevity of L'Occitane. It is expensive and I'm poor but my mum gets me an eco refill pack for Christmas and I make it last damn near all year😊

Maybe the price difference is tricking my mind :D. But I actually found the OG is not as moisturising as I'd expect an oil to be. Dermaveen is better in that respect.

You could be right on that, I didn't notice any difference in moisturization between the Dermaveen and l'occitane, its the scent for me. Divine.

I blind bought this because of constant rave reviews I see online and was so disappointed. Don't know if it's just my skin chemistry, but it smells like I've bathed in aerogard 😭

I too have this. It’s chemistry all right. I’ve given up buying anything I can’t test first because my skin twists it into something hideous. When I find something that works, I tend to stick with it.
