My Thoughts
First, let's talk about the scent. According to Nourish, "organic fig and apricot mingle with notes of organic citrus, apple, and currant in this delightful fragrance that’s at once warm, refreshing, and utterly enchanting." To me, it mainly smells like apricots or peaches. But then, thinking about it now, I'm drawing a bit of a blank as to what figs actually smell like. Either way, the smell is fresh and fairly light. It isn't overpowering and it's only slightly noticeable on my skin after I shower. If you wanted, you can also layer the scent with Nourish's other fig products.
As body washes go, Nourish's is very hydrating. It's a pearly/creamy colour that, silly as this sounds, just looks moisturizing, and it really is. It cleans well, but my skin is not left feeling at all tight or stripped. I will say, if you like a lot of lather, this body wash might be disappointing. It does lather, but not to epic proportions. For this reason, I need a bit more product than with something like Face Naturals and I find it works better to use it just in my hands, rather than on a loofah.
The Score *I've decided to start including ratings, since it gives a really clear idea of how much I like something. Let me know what you think!*
8/10
Bottom Line
I recently included Nourish in a list of my favourite bath and body companies and this body wash is another hit from the brand! I love how moisturizing it is and the fig scent is lovely too. Because of how sensitive I am, I usually stick to products scented only with essential oils, so I'm excited to have found a line with other fragrances that I've been okay using. I'm curious to try out Nourish's other scents now too!
I like the sound of this, I am a big fan of fig scents, I tend to purchase reed diffusers in that fragrance. The combination with apricot sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd like it, it's really nice :) I'll have to try more fig scents in the future!
ReplyDeleteEek! I don't really like the smell of figs for some reason. I see what you're saying about shower gel testing, even if you don't like something that much it DOES get used every day so it's not something that's likely to get wasted if it isn't you're favourite.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful winter body wash. I'm not sure what fig is supposed to smell like either, fruity? lol
