Body wash doesn’t often come high up in the pecking order of the beauty routine. It’s got gold encased lipsticks and Tom Ford make-up to fight against. But just like it’s non-glamourous but very essential friends, toothpaste and deodorant, it an essential daily go-to. It’s critical, in fact. 

So it’s music to ones ears when a body wash comes along that makes the mundane bloody marvellous. Like this one. Inside this simplistic packaging is what can only be described as quite possibly, the most delicious wash on the planet. Like, the kind of thing that smells so divine you almost want to eat it. But don’t. One large whiff sends you into a sunny, flower-filled garden in deepest Somerset where you are sipping on an ice cold elderflower cordial while the soft breeze flits through your hair. Surrounded by rusty tubs and trays and terracotta pots of white and blue and baby pink geraniums.

Use with a slightly cautious approach – it causes all sorts of time-wasting and day-dreaming. Of the good kind, but still…
