What a pleasant, joyful experience this has brought me! I can honestly say there is two shower gels right up on top of my list of loves - a limited edition Lux they don't make anymore - boo! and this!
First up, the bottle reminds me of the newer Palmolive bottles, but without the fuss of having to struggle and pull out the tools from the garage to open! It's a slimline, feminine bottle with an easy to open cap.
The scent! Oh my goodness! It smells like heaven in a bottle, a bit strong, but really lovely and it's so long lasting on your skin too!
Five out of five for "it does what it says" - because it really does take you to another place! I absolutely love how refreshed it makes you feel.
It cleans thoroughly and doesn't exfoliate, so there will be no dead skin all over your body as you dry yourself.
Would I recommend? Yes! But only to someone who likes smelling like their shower gel for a couple of hours after. If you don't want to smell like anything to spray perfume or body mist, then this is not for you!
I was gifted a trio of the travel sized bottles by another very generous member who was having a bathroom clean out. Palmolive makes amazing scents for their shower gels some of their shower gels have been favorites of mine. But this was the first time I tried the Ayurituel line. Ayurituel Energy smells of ginger and sandalwood is nice and spicy. Ayurituel Joyous has an Indian mulberry and lotus scent, it smells a bit fruity to me. Then there Ayurituel Tranquility which has a rosemary and patchouli fragrance. This one is my favorite surprisingly as I don't normally go for rosemary or patchouli scents, it's possible there's some other notes in there that I can't place as to what they are but it smells relaxing. When I put a little on a shower puff it lathers up well but doesn't leave a lingering scent. However, if I apply it straight from the bottle and lather it up in my hands then apply it on then the scent will linger for a bit. I can't do the latter to often though as if I do it dries out my skin. Overall if you don't have dry skin and don't mind shower gels containing SLS this is a nice addition to your shower stall at an affordable price for some morning or evening shower therapy. The only reason I wouldn't buy this when I run out because it's a bit drying on my skin and has SLS. But still it's a nice shower gel and was a thoughtful gift.
Tips: It gets even cheaper when it's on sale. If you find it too drying when you apply it straight from your palms and lather it on to your body. Try putting a little on a shower bubble net. You'll use less and so it'll be less drying.
