SpikeyVicWhat soap do you use in the shower?
Just opened a new pack of shield and it's hasn't got any scent at all. Either a crappy batch from the factory or this timeline has taken another dark turn for the worse....

Nah, I can smell everything else. Interesting article though!
Well, stranger, I’m glad you don’t have Covid. Sorry about the scentless soap though.
sideoneI lost a large proportion of my sense of smell after getting Covid. It’s rubbish.
Cevilia (they/she/…)Same here. I have smelled precisely two things since March last year. It sucks.
Apepollo11Don’t lose hope - my sense of smell has only just come back, two years after catching it.
I realised it when the farms near us began muck spreading a few weeks ago. Since then, I’ve started being able to smell food cooking, blocked drains, everything.
Thanks! It sounds weird to say I hope one day I’ll be able to smell blocked drains again though :P
Friend of mine got covid and it just sent her sense of smell completely out of whack. Nothing smelled like it did before. A curry smelled like wet trees, she said. My leathery / amber perfume smelled like talcum powder to her. It was so weird!
I typically use Faith in Nature shower gels and get refills. I’ll often go for aloe vera or teatree or similar, neither of which have much of a smell at all, but they do a blue cedar, I think it is, and a lavender and geranium which are both pleasant and rather more noticeable. The l&g is a bit too floral for my preference though.
To be honest, I will often just go with whatever the refill shop I am passing next happens to have to hand these days, which is quite often not Faith in Nature at all.
I do use shower gels but I default to a bar of soap for old school scrubbing. I'll look for those faith in nature gels though.
HossenfefferImperial Leather so I can smell like my grandpa. He’s dead, of course, but I don’t think it was the soap.
Dr Bronner’s Pure-Castile soap. Perfect all-in-one soap (hair and body…. Teeth too if you’re not particular about the taste of soap). Nice peppermint scent is available.
I’ve been using this soap for over 3 decades now.
robocordThat's what I switched to about 2 years ago. Great stuff.
I have a fondness for this soap’s smell as well.
AntimuttRecently I’ve become open to suggestions, too.
Honestly, I’d plumb the depths of nostalgia with these, find some of the stuff you used to use as a kid. Imperial leather, Badedas, whatever it is. It’s a cheap and fun way to really evoke some memories, smell is so powerful.
I grew up in Italy so it’s Borotalco for me.
Lacura. Its a bargain from Aldi.
None. Shampoo and nothing else!
