   For months, I stalked this at Sephora, huffing it during each visit but refusing to pay $25 for a small bottle of body wash. I finally bought it as a special treat after my husband sniffed it and fell in love. It’s not the most moisturizing body wash on the market, and the strong fragrance probably isn’t the best for your skin. And, of course, the price is absurd. But damned if it doesn’t smell absolutely incredible. Like pistachio and vanilla and caramel. I haven’t been this enamored of a gourmand-type scent since my brief but passionate fling with Pink Sugar back in the day. The scent lingers nicely but not obtrusively. My husband and I managed to make our bottle last a year, and I even bought him another bottle as a gift.

   Grab a bottle of this stuff during a FabFitFun sale. The smell is divine. Not drying. Lathers up very nicely with a bath poof. Just pricey for shower gel. May repurchase if I can get it at a sale price.

   It’s just delicious. Smells heavenly, you don’t need a lot to wash your entire body. Makes my skin soft and super clean without drying it out.
   It’s expensive for a body wash but in my opinion if you are willing to splurge, absolutely go for it.

   After falling in love with the body mist I needed to have more of this incredible scent. I bought the set of the shower gel and th e Bum Bum cream. This is a nice, silky shower gel that, like everything else in this line, smells fabulous. It’s expensive but a little goes a long way.

   This has the PERFECT scent for summer — kind of vanilla, maybe kind of coconut. There is nothing else quite like it.
   I absolutely love the way it smells. It also does not dry out my skin like other body washes tend to do. My skin feels pretty soft after I shower, even if don’t moisturize my skin afterward. The packaging is very cute, I love the way the bottle looks.

   I guess if I had one critique, it would be that the smell doesn’t linger very long once you’re out of the shower. But then, I’ve found this to be the case with most body washes so I don’t really hold that against the product.

   I would definitely buy this again!

   I got the set with the bum bum cream and the shower gel and really like both products. The shower gel is rich and creamy, it lathers well, cleans well and smells great! I would re-purchase the set but not individually unless it was on sale.

   I bought the duo that comes with the shower gel and Bum Bum Cream from Sephora. The Bum Bum Cream has great ingredients, and I have given a separate review for that by itself.

   This shower gel smells a bit sweeter than the cream, has a nice lather…but in my excitement to try it, and assuming the ingredients were as good as their Bum Bum Cream, I just didn’t stop to read the ingredients. I have a preference for nature’s intended ingredients, though I can look over some if their EWG rating isn’t terribly high and the product is good. The Bum Bum Cream had next to no nasties, and I was surprised and disappointed to see the shower gel filled with them. Sulfates galore, alcohols and carcinogens. No wonder it doesn’t’ moisturize. You literally can get better at a drug store. I won’t be repurchasing, much less spending $30 on a shower gel filled with ingredients that trash the only skin you and I will ever have.

   An amazing shower gel that moisturizes the skin really well. It smells amazing- like vanilla. Does not cause my skin to become irritated or itchy. I love it and will continue to purchase it. I usually apply half an ounce to my bath puff and it lathers really well and rinses really clean without any residue.
