When PinkCherry.com offered me the IO Relaxing Cleansing Gel I was psyched.  Why?  Because I was sure it was going to smell like the coconut candy I love from Vietnam.  I also have a love for lemongrass as my current favorite food scent is a lemongrass curry from the local Vietnamese restaurant.

The morning after I got the gel I headed into the shower with it.  Upon opening it I was hit with a really sweet coconut smell with a hint of freshness, which was the work of the lemongrass.  Like a candy-herbal infusion.  I totally loved the smell.  If you’re not fond of sweet smells it may not be for you, but the scent isn’t overly powerful, so those of you with fragrance sensitivities shouldn’t have a problem with this one.

The gel itself is thick, so it won’t fall off your hand before you have a chance to lather it up like some thinner shower gels do.  Speaking of lather, it definitely does this really well.  I used a drop the size of a nickel for my entire upper body.  However, my partner had to use more because his chest hair apparently ate some of it, so the amount you have to use will depend on you.

This is definitely a good refreshing gel and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it if you’re tired of cheap shower gels or just want something a little special.  Thanks so much to the great people at Pinkcherry.com for letting me review this!  In Canada?  Try PinkCherry.ca.
