What Shower Gel Relaxes You

Thread Starter 
Whenever I want to relax from the stress of school, I use my Terre D'Hermes shower gel, Aqua Di Gio body gel, or Gucci I and II Pour Homme shower gel. What shower gel do you use to relax after a hard day.

This sounds emberrassing, but just for the fun of it, I pretend I am in the Herbal Essence commercial.

I've just recently gotten into this one - it's awesome! Also, I really like The Dreamer shower gel. I haven't gotten around to purchasing a bottle of the EDT, though. When I went to Arizona to visit my parents, my dad let me use some of his Burberry Brit shower gel, & it was VERY nice.

I always use Magno. It is a kind of ambery-woody scented gel that comes from Spain. In fact, it is made in the province of A Coruña, where both my parents were born. Apart from the sentimental attachment, I find that its basenote character works very well with most of the scents I wear.

Céline Pour Homme is a great relaxing shower gel. Its somehow calming and uplifting at the same time

Aramis Surface on a hot day because of the mint. Otherwise, Aramis Havana, Diptyque Eau Lente, Jil Sander Feeling Man, and TDH.

Another in the Rainbath votes here. I used to entertain on a cruise line that used the whole Rainbath line in the stateroom bathrooms, so the smell brings me back to the ships

You are the only person I have ever heard of who WANTS to remember their time "on the boats"

Roger&Gallet Extra Vielle shower gel, soap, cologne, everything. I would breathe it if I could...

It's because I wasn't technically crew so didn't have to stay in crew quarters. Crystal treats their guest entertainers as passengers and only about 30 minutes of work a day

Rainbath again...but also a friend of mine who is a distributor of Body Oils makes me a shower gel called 'Lick Me All Over'. Now I do not like the Oil but the shower gel is amazing.

Fragrance On,

Otto

Erolfa shower gel is amazing. But, perhaps it's more energizing than relaxing. I find Bigelow's Mentha Body Wash to be quite calming.

Avoid the reformulated Burberry that looks like a drinking tin. I love the cologne but the shower gel is something I beg to differ on; it is way too sweet.

My new fall and winter shower gel, Tramp by Lush. With that name most of you guys might give it a miss, neither wanting to smell like the female or male image of the name. But it is deeply earthy and grounding and quite unisex, possibly a bit tilted to the masculine. Notes of horehound,melissa,oakmoss and patchouli.Intensely deep green, a small amount generates generous suds and it also works surprisingly well as a shampoo.

The new CE Bigelow Green Hair and Body Wash is nice, and it lathers HUGE. VEry good stuff with a smell very similar to RL Polo Blue.

Yup, not just accords- actually on the ingredient list- common names for two plants, both from the huge mint family, but not at all minty.

I picked up some Rainbath after reading so many positive comments on it. Alas, it's not really for me. Is it my imagination or do I detect something vaguely "Brut-ish" in there? In any case, I'm reverting back to my standby Eau des Baux. Terrific cedar/tonka combination.
