Smells amazing and gives you a lovely tingley sensation but imagine working in the place that makes it. Sweet Jebus you'd never have a sinus problem again. Our entire house smells of the stuff and our bathroom is downstairs in an extension off the kitchen!

Careful its like a drug. It used to make my balls tingle, but now, nothing. I need something stronger.

You don't notice it once you use it regular. I'd imagine it'll be the same for those in the factory. I can't smell pine fragrance after years of working in the NHS.

I love Original Source shower gels - big fan of the rather effeminate Vanilla & Raspberry and Raspberry & Cocoa at the moment. Chocolate & Mint smells good enough to eat (but doesn't taste good enough to eat, so don't eat it, it's just a waste). Got Liqourice queued up. 🙂

@scotroutes - nettles? Pah, lightweight.

I raise you to level Blackthorn. They would scratch an itch.

^^^^^ haha, we used to use that stuff when we were hand milking a house cow. Lovely stuff for the hands (and udders obviously). Not sure I would want it anywhere near my gentlemans eggs 😯

I can only assume that it's based on previous sales figures, so if they sold 258, 793 bottles the previous year and issued purchase orders to the tune of 2,051,452,111 mint leaves... Well, QED, really.

The mint and tea tree stuff makes a good makeshift shaving gel if needed

I visited a unilever site which produced the stuff. Amazingly it didn't smell, even next to the mixers.
Most of the systems are enclosed so very little vents to atmosphere.

Mates response to using the extra strong stuff was that he had been maced.
I like it, but don't see it for sale very often.

Yep have the black mint stuff at work. My colleagues appreciate my description of how it makes all of me tingle. My only concern is that I'm now hankering for something even stronger!

The perfume is in that gel at around 0.5% dosage, that's half a gramme for every 100 grammes of gel. Come and visit our factory when we are manufacturing a batch of the perfume at 100% strength! Your eyes will water.

We have some raw materials that are so stinky that we have to use them as dilutions to 10% or even 1% in an odourless carrier, otherwise they would just overwhelm everything.

Make a vat of shower gel using x number of mint leaves, divide number of mint leaves by number of bottles made from vat.

I don't think they number the bottles individually 🙂

Can I suggest the "Cooling" one of these:

It's black. Washing with a tingly, black gel is kind of different.

If the wind was in the right direction I used to be able to smell the Alberto Balsam factory about a mile up the valley. Not sure whether it's stopped smelling, shut down or my sense of smell has gone completely.

I expect Alberto Balsam shampoo is now contract manufactured and packed in multi-lingual bottles for distribution all over Europe and Russia, in a massive anonymous robotic factory somewhere in Benelux, operated by three Algerians sitting at a control panel.

That XXX Mint stuff is utterly wrong. I spent about 5 minutes rinsing my man marbles after using that stuff.

Evil.

Without checking the label I would guess that it contains menthol, which has the same "invigorating" effect on the skin as in toothpaste when it dribbles down your chin.

My wife used it once. Wasn't impressed! The extra strong stuff looks like a must.

Remember that mountain mayhem a few years back? Original Source sponsored, and we all came away with months worth of shower gel*

*assuming an average of 1 shower per day

Your bawsack or the shower gel?

ASDA do a rubarb and custard flavour one.

STW has reached a new low. I'm waiting for the thread discussing which are the best scented candles to use whilst bathing.
