Almond-scented soaps and lotion

I have the C&E almond body lotion and like the scent a lot. It has a floral overtone so is not "true" almond like but still, I like it a lot. I found the bodyshop almond line to be a more true almond scent, IMHO. Go to both C&E and Bodyshop and see if you can score some samples, so you can see how it settles on your person.

I love the whole line of C&E body lotions. My favorites are Sweet Almond Oil and avocado.
Hello,
Another place to try is Caswell-Massey. They are famous for their almond product line. Excellent bath soaps, lotions, shower gels, shampoos, talcs. I have most of the almond products they sell and enjoy them. The almond is quite distinct; no mistaking it for any other scents.

I love Almond scents as well!
I was however very dissapointed in the C&E Sweet Almond Oil Shave Cream. It smells almost rancid to me. I tried their sample tube as well and verified that I did not have a bad batch.
I however, love the smell of the Trumpers Almond.
Edit: The C&E Almond has grown on me and now I actually enjoy it...I still like the trumper's almond more however. The C&E isn't as strong or sweet...its more of a warm scent.

Here's a (second) vote for the Caswell-Massey almond line.

Johnny,
You may be the first person to give the C&E Almond a poor review.
It goes to show, YMMV!

I used it for about a week before calling it "rancid" but now I realize that the scent just isn't as strong and artifical as I am used to with "almond" scented products, ie. soaps and lotions.
Thanks for the update!

I just remembered that Kneipp (German Spa-style brand) has some products with almond oil. A very, very nice soap, a facial mask and if I'm not mistaken also a body lotion. Great stuff for sensitive skin.
The Caswell-Masey line of almond products is very good one of my favorites. Col. Conk Alomond balm is another good product as well as their soap. I like how the sent of the balmm lingers for a couple of hours after application.

Pure almond indeed.
Hmmm, has anyone here used the CL Salter Almond cream? I was wondering how it compares to the scent of others...I love the scent of this cream SO MUCH...and I mean SO MUCH, that when I work up a good lather and i happen to get some on my hand inadvertantly, I bring my hand up to my mouth to lick it off! I can't help it, the stuff smells delicious! Of course after I see what I am about to do I come to my senses and wipe, but still! I just wish it would make my face smell like that for the day. :sigh: 
Salter's Almond was the first, and thus far (SCAD in check 
), only almond scented shave cream/soap that i've used. Both the Mrs. & I love the scent -- it is yummy. I do think it leans toward the cherry notes more than others though from what I've read about the others, and what my own nose detects in the Salter's.
I forgot to mention that the Mrs. also picked up some milk/almond scented products at the local L'Occitane that were decent too.
