Please believe us when we say it’s a game changer, simply because it smells like holidays. Plain and simple. It’s not the usual coconutty smell that most ‘summer scented’ products have. It’s different, it’s much more… boring. Except it’s not boring.

Sure, it’s literally just the smell of suncream, but it’s an instant mood-booster and it fills you with joy. It leaves your skin – and bathroom – smelling like summer. It’s reminiscent of that shower you take after a long day at the beach, the one where your skin feels warm from the sun and is probably a little bit burnt, but you feel content. That’s the exact moment that it captures.

And right now, that’s important for all of us. This £1 shower gel is proof that scent is so incredibly powerful. It can take you back to a very specific moment in time and it can, for a few minutes, make you feel like you’re somewhere else. It can make you forget everything else that’s happening in the world, it’s the perfect bit of escapism, and it’s fair to say we could all do with a bit of that right now.

Nivea Sunshine Love shower gel smells just like a summer holiday (and 5 others to whisk your mind to the beach)
