The company
Colgate-Palmolive has been know for their production of dental hygiene products and shower products. Not many people know they also produce dog food(Hills). The company was founded in the year 1806 but then they only made soap and candles. Nowadays, the company is active in more as 200 country's where they distribute their products.

The bottle
The transparent bottle has a somewhat broad oval shape. In the shop it looks orange but that's just the color of the shower gel. The bottle has a transparent orange flip top. The labels that are stick to the front and back of the bottle are made from plastic. On the front there is a product description and the logo. At the back there is product information in different European languages. Contact information, contents, refractory life and ingredients can also be found there.

The shower gel, it's scent and it's color
The shower gel has a transparent orange color. Its neither thick or extremely liquid. When opening the bottle, a soft citrus smell comes up. When washing, it creates a small amount of soft foam. The smell of grapefruit and orange gives it a fresh smell. The package mentions cedar wood although I can not smell this in the product. The foam can be easily rinsed of the skin. The smell does not stay long, when the skin is dry the smell slightly noticeable.

My opinion
I bought this shower gel in a hurry, I didn't have much time too choose because I needed to catch a bus. The first time I showered I was happy with it's soft grapefruit smell. This shower gel is part of there 'aroma therapy' range which stimulate sensory organs. However my sensory organs get no stimulations. After a few weeks of use, I did not like the smell that much, it bored me. This showering gel contains essential oils, this makes sure it does not make a lot of foam. These essential oils do not leave a greasy feeling on my skin. The product easily rinses of my skin. After my skin dries it does not feel as soft as I would have imagined when reading the product description. Considering the price, this is a good shower gel. The smell however bored me very quickly. So if you're looking for something special, don't buy this!

Advantages: Does it's job, good price-quality
Disadvantages: Smell gets boring quite quickly
Summary: An average shower gel with the scent of orange, grapefruit and cedar wood.
