best fragrance shower gels

Funny enough, Axe Touch shower gel is my absolute favorite of all time, and I wish there was an EdT that smelled similar to it. Or maybe there is one and I just haven't smelled it.

I really like Commes des Garcons 2 Man, 1000 by Jean Patou, Eau de Merveilles by Hermes, Erolfa by Creed and Rain Bath by Neutrogena.

Crabtree & Evelynn have a West Indian Lime shower gel which I currently use and think is fantastic.

The best shower gels I have tried are Amouage's various offerings, whether Dia, Gold or Jubilation. I also don't think the gender of the shower gel makes a difference as they all smell very good. They are a bit pricey though!

Molton Brown Re - Charge Black Pepper

Hi Larwiz!
It's easier for me to list what I don't care for, since the list is short - L'Occitaine's The Vert. Not that it's bad, just not right for me.


Ones that float my boat:

• L'Occitaine Eau de Baux - even better than the EdT!
• L'Occitaine Cade - think cedar shavings
• Dior Homme - Fantastic! If you like Dior Homme, that is.
• L'Instant Pour Homme - Very manly man
• Infusion d'Homme - Possibly my favorite, which is curious since I don't care for the EdT at all.

If the pleasure weren't so fleeting, I might just throw away my fumes and specialize in shower gels. The intensification of aromas from the heat, the feel of showering water on skin - it's all good!

Givenchy PI showergel works for me.
It almost smells as strong as EdT! Nice stuff!

Despite its rather hefty price tag, I am particularly fond of the Lorenzo Villoresi Uomo shower gel. Potent and luxurious,it is a perfect companion to its fragrant brother.

Creed's Original Vetiver shower gel rocks. And Creed shower gels are strong enough that you actually do smell like you're wearing the scent for a few hours afterward.

I also really like Jo Malone's Pomegranate Noir gel, which is formulated differently than the cologne - it's more of a smoky cedar/red berry/tobacco scent in the gel.

My favorite is Costes shower gel, but I like bars of soap better because I think they leave more scent behind on the skin.

i love old spice pure sport - the sad part is, i get more compliments on my shower gel scent than i do on my frags, ugh such is life.

I only have Encens Flamboyant... which is really nice in shower gel.

I'll second the Infusion d'Homme shower gel, that stuff is crazy good.

Neutrogena Rainbath and Clinique Happy shower gels are my favourites.

Tam Dao and Silver Mountain Water. Both are better than the actual colognes imo.
But i just use Dove unscented bar soap most of the time. That stuff is expensive!

I think the Bulgari Aqua shower gel is excellent, even better than the cologne itself IMO.

Although mostly not scented with Bourjois frags, the shower gels by Bourjois are not just extremely affordable, but good value for money and quite few variations also have gourmand/Oriental notes, while the skin's sensation afterward and the persistence of these shower gel's fragrance notes are very pleasant.

I like Vetiver Extraordinaire shower gel, but it is seriously overpriced. For the money, Bath and Bodyworks Lemongrass Cardamom is fantastic.

4711 Shower gel is wonderful, especially in the morning. Cheap to boot.

Larwiz, I know you want that Kouros shower gel.

Yeah, I know. Its an on/off scent for me too.
But ppl around me seems to like it on me..!

Well here's my collection...mini shower gel reviews:

Pierre Cardin is very true to the cologne but leaves no scent residue.

Obsession is STRONG but soapier smelling than the cologne, and leaves the strongest/longest scent residue of all of mine.

London is nice, maybe a bit more appley and less woody than the cologne.

Corduroy smells more twiggy and less desserty than the cologne, and the bottle is really annoying to open and close.

Dunhill 1934 is watery and weak but pretty true to the cologne.

Envy is lousy. Ugh. Way too powdery.

B*Men is pretty true to the cologne.

Eucris is too thick...had to water it down. Surprisingly refreshing for such a non-fresh scent.

Weekend is really nice, and a great match to the cologne, but thin liquid so tricky to control. May still be my favorite.

D+G is very thick and fairly true to the cologne, but smells heavier which I think doesn't help.

Bulgari is interesting. Greener and plantier than the cologne. Bottle doesn't close as nicely as it should.

L'Eau par Kenzo is too dull and soap-like. But it looks different colors depending on if you look through the bottle the thin way or the thick way.

Eau de Paco Rabanne is too metallic and ivy-like. Very thick, creamy and opaque.

Gendarme and Mugler Cologne are both great soap smells, of course, with Gendarme being moist and lush, and Mugler being sharper, greener, and more citric. Gendarme separates over time into clearer and whiter layers.

Cool Water is really refreshing and very true to the cologne.

Old Guerlain Vetiver is almost too dirty and woody while you're using it, but the residue is a nice smell, close to the old cologne.

Polo Crest is pretty true to the cologne.

Lavender Fougere with Oak Moss and Geranium by Skin Below The Chin. This line is available at Wal-mart in the U.S.A. and is manufactured in Canada. Inexpensive and a wonderful scent --will leave your skin very conditioned.

I'm currently using L'Occitane Eau de Baux shower gel, and it's fantastic! It just skips right to the drydown and lingers for an hour or two. Beautiful stuff.

I really like the Jaipur homme shower gel. In fact, I think it smells better than the juice itself.

Me too. Fantastic stuff!

Wow, something to look for next time I venture into a Wal-mart. I visited the Delicious Brands website and their products seem interesting and of quality. Thanks for the tip.

I like Eau de Baux by L'Occitane. I could bathe in it every day, but I want to leave some for DH.

I also like Encens Flamboyant shower gel.

Acqua di Gio shower gel. Seriously, try it.

I like Farmacia SS Annunziata Firenze
Chia, Hyle, Nero....

One shower-gel which is just a stand-out for me is...."Obsession - For Men"

- Balava

My entire family has been using it since Christmas when I got it, and there is about 1/4 of it left. So I'd say it would EASILY last 2 months for a single person.

How are these body washes when it comes to moisturizing? I use dove deep moisture do these compare?
