The Ipsum Patchouli Rose Body Oil sounds delightful, maybe even good as a perfume

Of the list, I have tried Vaseline and Jergens and both of them are awesome. Next on my list is Brazilian Bum Bum cream. I also love body lotions from Bath and Body works, they smell heavenly

I love anything citrus or coconut scented.

AndreaJW 28 Feb 2020 1:40 PM

I'm not keen on oils for the face or body.

S-P 27 Feb 2020 11:36 PM

I definitely want to try a couple of these products. At the moment my scent comes from my sunscreen- coconut.

IndieAna 27 Feb 2020 4:51 PM

I so want to try the Bum Bum cream, and not just because of the the word bum, lol

Amanda738 27 Feb 2020 9:30 AM

They all sound amazing! :)

Nicoler112 27 Feb 2020 6:45 AM

Using exceptional oil from go to at the moment. The smell is divine! The only problem is the packaging of the product that makes it really hard to use and get control of how much oil u get out, it goes everywhere. I hope they change to a pump packaging as I won't rebuy with the current packaging

Beautybabe140194 26 Feb 2020 9:18 PM

I would love to try the Brazillian Bum Bum cream but it is a bit out of my price range.

Rose_P 26 Feb 2020 4:56 PM

OMG that Bum Bum cream smells A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!!!! I just can’t get enough of it. I’ve got the handcream too. Well, several tubes of it actually haha. I intend to get some shower gel and body spray next time I go to Mecca.

I recently visited aesop at Canberra Centre with my mum and I was treated to luxury by the shop assistant , letting me try stuff as well as giving lots of product demos. It was heaven. Bought some goodies , definitely recommend to visit the Aesop store.

Would really like to try Ipsum Best Skin Patchouli Rose Body Oil sounds divine love aromatherapy oils like Neroli and Patchouli in body lotions.

Yohanna 26 Feb 2020 12:41 PM

Love yum scents. Not much flowers, citrus (as the stuff tends to smell like dish washing detergent) or aquatic or green, the rest great. Used Bum cream (do love the scent, sort of tropical, nutty, and caramelish sweet, but not obnoxious. Like a gourmand perfume) and people seem to like it on me. Also some of the TBS butters (they are on a heavier side. Unsure if they switched to MLM, if so, I will not buy any more). Ans love Ipsum body oil, quite unique , so nourishing! And luxe. I am a sucker for glass packaging too.

A good scent is an essential part of body lotion.

Isabelbolton 26 Feb 2020 11:51 AM

These sound amazing! I love anything with a coconut scent!
