Advantages: great holiday scent, really fresh/unisex, classic packaging

Disadvantages: the men's range isn't nearly as nice.

Full marks go to Boots for their botanics range.

I was lucky enough to be given a couple of bottles for free so that's how I first got into it.

What I liked first about the range was the packaging. It is very simple and neutral without being dull. Perfect for macho men who won't be seen near a fussy bottle.

For this reason I decided to donate the shampoo to my other half to try. It was the one for 'normal' hair (even better to pacify his male ego) and it smelt of coconuts - nice and genderless!

Well, he loved it and came out raving that it smelt of holidays!

Needless to say, I got a bit jealous.

I have continued to buy the shampoo 'for him' whenever there is a nice three for two thing going on - and of course I swipe it for myself all the time. He hasn't noticed, bless him. He still thinks I'm a wonderfully generous girlfriend!

I've experimented with loads of products in the range - and because I can easily convince other half that it is a 'men's range' he is happy to slap it all over. Wow, does he smell fab now!?

Boots do do a men's range of Botanics but I actually don't like the smells nearly as much - so I will continue to buy him the 'other' range.

There are a few shampoos and conditioners for all types of hair and they all smell different but very nice. One smells of grass and another of tropical fruit - so again - it's all very wholesome, outdoors, holiday kind of things.

The conditioners have a pump action which is a nice touch. We girls like detail like that.

Both shampoo and conditioner leave the hair clean and shiny.

I've also tried the man out on moisturising deep clean foam - which again smells great (not from the men's range) and got the thumbs up from him.

So, all in all the standard range is the best unisex set of products I've come across and the prices ar
en't bad at all.

Buy them on offer and you'll get a nice little bargain.
