Le Petit Marseillais Pine and Samphire Body Wash - 250 ml

I love the way this smells and it doesn't leave a filmy feeling when washed away. It's a little pricy for the size, but it's worth it.

Certain scents bring back memories...I have one of being in a beach house in Greece that backs up to some coastal pines....when you open the window first thing in the morning and smell the salt ocean air and the pines, that's what this reminds me of. I wish I could buy other products with the same smell - I would get linen spray and reed diffusers if they had them. For now I'll have to settle for the morning shower with this lovely bath product.

When I travel to Europe, I enjoy buying inexpensive items like this, because they're generally more subtle than the overbearingly fragranced toiletries Americans get to "enjoy". (I don't want to smell like my shower gel all day long, thanks.) Plus, it's a nice memento of the trip, at least for a month or two. I was pleased to find this brand on Amazon, and even at $8 for 250mL, it's quite a lot cheaper than flying to France to pick some up. (It goes for about €4 at a Monoprix in Paris, by the way, so not a huge markup.) A buddy of mine visited recently and couldn't stop talking about how much he liked the smell of this Pine and Samphire wash, so if you're looking for an unusual shower gel for a guy, this is the one.

Very clean, fresh scent that lingers subtly. Not drying on the skin

Love it a lot. This firm seems to find very nice combinations for its soaps. This is my favorite. I use it for my face only as it's gentle enough on the skin and feels cleansing, but never drying. Just right. Wish it were cheaper.
