Advantages: Nice packaging

Disadvantages: Smells like DEET, doesn't lather well

My review on this product is contrastingly different to the others on here so far, as I must confess I am not a fan of this bodywash. I picked up a couple of these bodywashes from Asda, as they were on offer for a pound. I'm not overly fussy with bodywash - something that smells nice and lathers up decently usually keeps me happy.

The first thing that I really don't like about this wash is the smell. It supposedly should smell of orchids, but I have to say that for me, the smell does not resemble orchids at all. To be honest the smell reminds me of the really strong stuff you get in insect repellents - DEET! I know this sounds extreme and it's probably not quite as bad as it sounds, but there is definitely a similarity there.

Secondly I am not impressed with how this product lathers. When it comes out of the bottle it looks like a fairly nice, translucent wash. But upon rubbing onto the skin, or between my hands I just find that it feels more oily than anything else, and therefore building it up into any sort of lather is just hard work.

I have to say that I am quite disappointed by this bodywash. The fact that the name contains the words 'orchid' and 'cashmere' made me believe I was going to get something really luxurious. In addition the packaging is quite attractive and feminine, again leading you to believe that showering with it will be a pleasurable experience. But I do not think I will ever buy this again - special offer or not!

Thanks for reading!

Summary: I won't be buying this again
