What kind of scent do you prefer in Skincare?

When shopping for bath and body care, once you've sussed the product you need, be it a cleanser, a moisturiser or an exfoliater, and you've then sifted your way through all of the different formula options, you're undoubtedly left with - the Sniff Test.

Scent can make or break a product, especially in skin care.  If you don't like how it smells, no matter how good the product is, you're not going to use it, right?

We're putting 3 products from the coming-soon Garnier Organics range to the test.  

  • Fresh Lemongrass Detox Gel Wash - cleanses away dirt, oil and pollution without drying skin.
  • Fresh Lemongrass Balancing Moisturiser - hydrates skin all day, refreshes and balances oily zones.
  • Purifying Thyme Perfecting Toner - instantly purifies and mattifies skin while tightening pores and refining skin's texture.

Now, of course, it's you guys who get to review these, but we can tell you something...they smells AMAZING.  Seriously, when the box of products landed on my desk I was surrounded by people asking what smelt so good.  If you like fresh, herbaceous scents, these will pass the Sniff Test for you.

If you'd like to put your hand up to trial these three products for us, why not comment below and tell us two things;

  1. What kind of scents do you prefer in skin care (or maybe you prefer it unscented?)
  2. What type of skin do you have?  Normal, Oily, Combi, Dry, Sensitive, something else?

Get chatting below - we might pick you!

I prefer herby or unscented to floral scents. I find floral smells can be cloying and a little artificial, whereas herby scents are lovely and refreshing! I would love to give these a go as my skin is combination but leans towards the oilier side, so I think these products would be great to help bring my skin some balance, without stripping it!

I have very thirsty skin!! I need to moisturise every morning

Honestly, I don't really think about how a product smells before buying it, it's all about the benefits. If it has a horrible scent, I'm immediately put off but generally, it's not a big issue. My skin is probably more combination and I'd love to give this a go.

I prefer a herb-y scent, its more refreshing and just makes me think its doing something healthy and good for my combination (with dry flaky patches) skin.

Love a fresh scent that gives a fresh association. One that's not too in your face or synthetic but natural based. Thyme is my all time favorite herb smell I'll be definitely be trying this toner when its released. Also super keen on lemongrass cleanser.

Garnier has got the goods!

This looks amazing

Out of the options I chose herby, if it’s associated with organic or natural products. I also like non scented items too and sometimes even fruity! Or anything that smells clean and fresh. I am not a fan of floral. Don’t like rose or lavender anything.

I have just gotten into more natural herb scented products like By Nature and Goodness so this range sounds like a bit of me! My skin in normal/combo in the summer and dry/combo in the winter.

Fresh smelling products are my thing. Anything too strong can't be good for your skin.

12th February, 2020

Prefer lightly scented products as I find my skin reacts to products that have too much "smell" added to them

12th February, 2020

I have combination skin as sometimes it can be oily and other it can be dry or blemished

I don’t usually buy products because of a scent but more for the benefits for your skin and the environment is also another plus to this stuff

I have dry skin. I dont really decide on skincare products based on scent, a nice scent is more of a bonus.

12th February, 2020

When it comes to skin care, I enjoy a wide range of scents. If it smells good, bring it on! However fresh scents like herbs and citrus are great in the morning, leaving me feeling energized and ready to take on the day. My skin is combination :)

I love fresh herby scents!! I have dry/normal skin

12th February, 2020

I definitely prefer organic skincare, and love the fresh smells of citrusy herbal smells, although I’m also a fan of floral and sweet scents too. My skin is looking very flat this summer with more breakouts than usual, so currently working on that.
