Orangey Goodness - Neroli Scented Beauty Favs



Earlier this week I read a post by blogging maven LibertyLondonGirl about the fabulous orange blossom scented Naked shower gel which got me thinking about all the delicious neroli-scented beauty products I use.  It's a tricky scent to get right and good ones are few and far between so I thought I'd share some of my favourites with you for any fellow neroli fans out there.

Pictured above: John Masters Organics Blood Orange & Vanilla body wash - a sugary sweet shower gel that has a light orange sherbet style scent which is delicate but still lingers. I adore this and can never resist these mini bottles (despite the fact they are a real pain to get anything out of) at the till in Whole Foods which I pick up along with the Citrus & Neroli Detangler which not only smells divine but is incredibly moisturising despite its fairly lightweight feel when you bang it out of the little bottle. 

The L'Occitane Neroli perfume is sadly discontinued - I'm still making my way through a stockpile I brought back from Paris from a store that was selling their remaining bottles off. It's the most intoxicating, richly exotic fragrance that never fails to solicit compliments, often from complete strangers. I adore this and am beyond gutted that it's gone forever.


Pictured here: Ojon Dry Recovery Hydrating Shampoo and the matching Conditioner - incredible, sexy neroli scent that stays in your hair overnight as well as being some of the best hair products for my dye-nuked hair I've ever found. These both come in those giant bottles too which I tend to get from John Lewis or QVC as they last for ages and work out much better value. Lastly, Origins High Potency Night-A-Mins - one of my go-to moisturisers which has a remarkably peppy citrus scent much zingier than you'd expect from a night cream.

Revlon's Scented Nail Polish - A Commuter Essential


OK so you might think scented nail varnish is a bit childish - I can see that - but since I started using it last year it's become a key component in my commuter arsenal.  Stuck next to the smelly guy on the bus but too British to hold your nose? Strike a pose - holding collar/necklace, touching glasses and leaning on my hand are my winning moves - and let the fruity aromas waft from your nails to your nose, blocking out odours from less fragrant travellers.  The sparkling pink Grapefruit Fizz edition pictured above from the Revlon SS12 Scented Nail Enamel collection, is particularly delicious.  This new range of glittery polishes also comes in Grape (purple), Pineapple (yellow), Watermelon (cerise) and Orange. £6.49 each from Boots and currently 3 for 2
