Its pink and white flowers, a little powdery, and something about it reminds me of the 1994 Tropical Splash Barbie perfume (which is ultimate perfume goals).
*It is not a dupe though!!!

Top Note: lime (yes)

Base Notes: Virginia cedar (yes), tonka bean (yes)

Price: 1/5 (~$115 for 50mL)

Lifetime: Long
Time: Night Time

The Body Shop - Spa Wisdom Polynesia - Monoi Body Balm


I got this on a whim a while back.

A nice rich formula that absorbs well.

I just don't like the smell :( 
It's a buttery white floral scent (frangipani and Monoi de Tahiti), which I personally hate.
But perhaps you will like it.

Price: 2.5/5 (can't find the price)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Same Product, Different Scent: Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Therapy - Somerset Meadow
I can't say I liked the scent of this hand therapy... too 'white floral' for me

But I can't fault the formulation <3

Cussons - Imperial Leather - No. 42 Rockpool Hand Wash

This blue beauty caught my attention with imagery of mermaids, beautiful corals and ocean foam (all things I just projected onto the product).

So with such poetic thoughts in mind, how could I not try it?

The scent is listed on this bottle is Indian lotus and waterlily. To me, I smell is a clean, white floral (makes sense with the lily) with a hint of marine scent.
I would have preferred more salt and oceanic for a "Rock pool" name, but you can't win 'em all!

I really liked the blue colour and the lather was superb, needless to say it cleaned the hands well.

Will I buy this scent as a body wash (which I can do), probably not (I want more ocean and less white floral, damn it!), but it's a fun little kitchen/bathroom addition.

Price: 4/5 (rrp $3.99 for 250mL)
Scent: 4/5
Efficiency: 5/5

Avon - Femme - Shower Gel

This shower gel smells like the Avon Femme perfume (think jasmine, magnolia, amber-woods...  white flowers) and is designed to be used in conjunction with the perfume.

The smell is moderate in the product, but the minute this gel is washed off the skin, there is no lingering scent. This is quite disappointing that the scent doesn't last on the skin.

As a shower gel; it doesn't lather well, it angers my whiny skin and doesn't leave me feeling clean.

A 'shower gel that lathers well, leaves you feeling clean and smelling great' solution:
Imperial Leather is my BFF.

Price: 2/5 (rrp $12.00 for 200mL)
Scent: 3.5/5 (not a huge fan of white floral)
Effectiveness: 0/5
