Fully with you on that Weleda body butter and the L'Occitane shower oil! Both currently in my bathroom too. Will investigate the others! Love the film references - so good!
Oh Suzy! Now you make me want to buy everything ! I live in a humid, sticky climate that I don’t need to moisturise as much but I absolutely enjoy too.
In a strange moment of coincidence or synchronicity, I watched Silence of the Lambs last night, for the first time in probably about 30 years. And have also been considering shopping for a nice rose scented body oil. The Officine Universelle Buly oil is now at the top of my 'to buy' list ...
Caudalie Body Creams are not explicitly green, but the mix of almonds and grape give some of that green bitterness, reminds me of a watered-down Chanel No.19. They come in a body butter or a lower priced body lotion.
Bit late to the party but my favourite body creams are the Beauty Pie ones. The texture is heaven and they often match them to their perfumes. My favourites are Brazilian Lime, Fig Leaves & Tea for the summer - so cooling like the best after sun ever - and currently I’m using Le Smash Santal, a sandalwood dream. Also really enjoyed La Poesie Des Chiffres in the winter (this one is still available but the others are coming back).
I love the Lush body lotions and I usually use the one that matches the shower gel I am using. Currently I’m loving Sticky Dates as I’m craving sweet vanilla fragrances. My all time favourite is the Rose Jam.

Thanks love! Think you’d really like the Mirror Water one, and all the others actually. Let me know what you think if you try them 🥰

Thank you so much! I must do favourite shower gels at some point 🥰
I love REN Moroccan Rose body lotion. I absolutely adore that scent and am so sad they discontinued the perfume.
Oh my goodness, yes that’s a gorgeous one. So richly evocative and luxurious in texture, too.
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter or Coconut ranges are both gorgeous smelling & feel luxe yet comfy on the skin.
My plastic surgeon suggested it post abdominoplasty & I’ve been addicted ever since.
The smells fades quite quickly so doesn’t clash with my fragrances just prolongs longevity
Ahhh such a nostalgic scent for me, yes adore them!
You should check out the Caudalie Body Creams, texturally they are like softened butter with the smell of almonds, they absorb quickly also.
Excellent suggestion!

Whoah, scented coincidence indeed! Yessss, it’s glorious, do treat yourself if you can. Xx
Does anyone know of a body product that might push the Galbanum note in a perfume? I love green scents but not foresty green.

Ooh! Will try to find that asap!
FYI I got the body butter with the bitter almond note, I don't know if lotion smells the same.
Green Tea Nectar could be for you. A 500ml pot seems to be available between £10 to £20.
Sisley Eau de Campagne scent is available in body lotion or body oil - both glorious and full of that green leafy galbanum smell!
That is EXACTLY what I want--but it’s out of my budget 😭
I hear you. It is often on offer at myorigines (whom I’ve ordered from several times and always been pleased with) if that helps…?

I’m quite fond of the Korres body creams. I have the jasmine one and the lilac one and usually one or the other matches my perfume.
Ooh not tried the Korres body creams for aeons, good reminder!
