I am very fond of Original Source shower gels and find they really help wake me up especially in the winter when I''d rather stay in bed. As I am trying to declutter our bathroom it is great to have shower gel that husband and I both like. Also means I can take advantage of two for one offers!

Recently when shopping I spotted this product on special offer and as hadn't tried that particular fragrance thought we could try it out.

The colour as you might expect is green but a bit of a murky green so not that appealing from my perspective although I suppose does make it easier not to confuse with mint version. Also I had not realised when purchasing that the product is aimed at men so that may also explain the army green choice of colour.

The consistency as with other Original Sources shower gels I have used is nice as it is not too runny and does go a long way. This represents good value for money if you are budget conscious as I am. It foams up well and leaves you feeling clean and doesn't dry out the skin.

I usually associate Original Source with zesty powerful smell that help wake you up your morning shower. In the past I have used eucalyptus oil when have a bad cold and find it really clears my head so was expecting something similar. I was therefore slightly disappointed that this didn't pack more of a punch. It does have a pleasant fresh smell however doesn't wake me up as the citrus fragrances that we have used in the past.

Overall I think this is nice for a change and represents good value for money when on special offer but I prefer lemon version and will revert back to that. Currently on offer for £1 in Boots so may be worthwhile to try out now.
