Davines OI Body Wash 280ml

Let's be straight about this one: most people buy it because of how the OI range smells.

It's a hydrating body wash and it does that job well — very gentle on skin, creamy foam, left soft rather than tight. But the reason it exists, and the reason people pick it up, is that they've fallen for the scent in the shampoo and want it everywhere.

What you'll notice

The lather is rich rather than squeaky, and skin doesn't feel stripped afterwards — worth knowing if shower gels usually leave you dry or itchy. And the scent lingers: that warm OI fragrance, on skin rather than just hair.

Who it's for

Anyone already using OI who wants the scent head to toe. Also a sensible pick if your skin doesn't get on with harsher body washes. It makes a good gift for the same reason — recognisable, and it feels like something rather than a functional shower gel.

Who it's not for

If you've no attachment to the OI fragrance, you're paying a premium for a good body wash rather than a great one. That's a fair trade if you love the smell and an odd one if you don't.

How to use it

In the shower, on wet skin, rinse. Nothing complicated.
