    Also, if you are wondering what to buy, I can highly recommend the Naran Ji handwash, Heavenly gingerlily body wash for a feminine fresh scent, Travel reviving Cempaka wash or spray for summer and this lovely warm weatehr as it is so cool and refreshing and the scent really does last on your skin, Yuan Zhi wash or spray for if you have trouble sleeping or want to relax.
    I don't recommend the hand lotions, I find them too watery and not that moistruising, or the facial moisturiser as I find it too greasy, you're better off going for Body Shop vitamin e facial moisturiser.

    Thanks hvd201. I haven't tried many of their products, so its nice to get a recommendation. I may get a handwash or spray. They sound lovely. :)

    I am gutted that my free 30ml handwash is out of stock. Does anyone know if they will send it separately when it comes back in stock? Thanks.

    No problem, the above are my favourite ones, you know, the ones you go back to time and time again when you have funds (or glitches) to treat yourself.
    The bodywash does last a ridiculously long time - and yes, I do wash every day! - you just don't need much of it as it's so concentrated.
    The sprays are supposed to be room sprays but I use them as body sprays too, especially the Travel Reviving Cempaka one as it's just amazing to use in this weather (cool and refreshing) and people come up to me all the time telling me how lovely I smell. I would suggest you try the Yuan Zhi one out in store if possible as I've found it's a love or hate one, 80% of people love it, 20% of people hate it and it's a lot of money if you don't like it. Plus no postage costs in store. If you live near Portsmouth there is a MB outlet there where things are slightly discounted which is great.
    If you are thinking of something but aren't sure what you fancy, tell me what you like and I'll see if I can recommend you something you should like. My sister sends me the small bottles fairly frequently so I can try all the different ones out (she is so lovely!).

    I fancy a room fragrance. I hadn't thought about using it as a body spray. Is it safe to use that way?

    I have sensitive skin and I have no problem using it as a fragrance, I sort of spritz it all around me when I'm clothed.
    I like the Rose Granthi (not sure on spelling) one, it is like a modern rose, not old granny type :rotfl: Fresh, subtle, a nice smell.
    Then super refreshing, but only a summer fragrance imo, is the Travel Reviving Cempaka. Lovely.
    Yuan Zhi spray is perfect for if you want to go to sleep and want a nice relaxing fragrance around you.
    Naran Ji spray is quite strong, great for in the loo for man poo as it covers the bad smell up quite well (yes, I fully believe men smell more when they poop than women :rotfl: )

    I've just been looking at their actual skin fragrances. Its out of stock at the moment, but they do a Gingerlily shimmer fragrance which looks nice and refreshing, whilst also giving you a subtle shimmer.

    I'm not that keen, it smells very alcoholic, quite potent and not particularly like the shower gel which smells divine. The shimmery bit is nice on it though and it does last a while, it's just not one I am that keen on.
    It might be out of stock as they have just introduced their new Gingerlily room fragrance so maybe they are phasing out the fragrance, or put production on hold whilst they make the other one?
    Wow, I need to get out more, I know far too much about all of their products!
    Enjoy whatever you buy, I'm going to get either the Yuan Zhi room spray or the Yuan Zhi candle as it is amazing and lasts for ages.
