Favorite Beekman scent?

Wanting to try some Beekman 1802 products, so I'm curious about what scents/products are best. Thanks!

@ShopperGirl15I like most of their scents. My favorites are ylang ylang and vanilla absolute. My favorite products are the soaps, the whipped body creams and the sugar scrubs.

@ShopperGirl15 I like all their scents but Ylang Ylang Tuberose is by far my favorite. I like most of their products but still have not tried everything. I like the bar soaps, body cream in the jar & set of 3 hand washes the best. I think you would probably be happy with their scents since none of them are overpowering to me except the Honeyed Grapefruit but it still smells good & I have the bar soap. Some scents are a little lighter then others. I also like the cuticle cream, lip balms, facial wipes & yyt shampoo/cond.

I like the honey grapefruit and it's not a specifically feminine scent which is nice.

I also really liked the honeysuckle but I'm pretty sure that was a one time deal (bounty box AD)..

Love the Orangeblossom/Honey is mild - the grapefruit was too strong for me. The Violet is beautiful also.

Vanilla Absolute and the Orange Blossom Honey are my favorites in the Beekman line.

I haven't met one scent that truly turns me off except the unscented is just boring IMO. If I had to choose only one scent, my favorite would be Apricot & Honey Tea but I'm also very happy with others. My favorite product is the bar soap. The lip balm is also nice.

Lately I've been reassessing my Beekman purchases (as well as some others) and trying to decide what I really want to continue with going forward and what I don't really need. I've used the lotions that have come in sets and they're OK. The scents are nice, but I've used other products that provide better moisturization for less money. I've been happy with the liquid soap, but it's not something I can't live without Once my supply is used up, I'll be returning to JR Watkins or Mrs. Meyer's for liquid hand soaps which do a fine job for me, smell nice, and are much more reasonably priced.

Ylang ylang and tuberose is my favorite scent but I also like several other scents.

The only products I really love are the bar soaps, liquid hand washes in the brown bottles only (although now I found A La maison de provence liquid soaps I like just as well and much cheaper), their facial wipes, the honey orange blossom shampoo bar and their body butters.

Thank you everyone! How do their body butters compare to Josie's?

I am going to try Beekman face wash in Vanilla and it is sold out on Evine and I just know I am going to love it and their goat milk soap is fabulous but my heart is with TS PINK GEMS SOAPS and I love them so very much and they are so beautiful all over my bathroom............I just love bath and skin and beauty products but I will tell you SKINN has a cleansing cream that is a yellow color and the smell is so delicious and I love it. So I am happy with SKINN.

Ylang Ylang is my favorite scent. I loved it!!!!

I like the performance of Josie's body butter a bit better but the scents of the beekmans are wayyyy better than Josie's. Most of Josie's smells awful imo.

Wow - favorite scent - that's tough. I love the soaps. For me personally I don't like fragrance so my favorite is the pure - it lathers the most and I can wear whatever perfume I want. As far as the other scents go, some I found to be a bit strong. My favorites are the vanilla absolute and honey oat "so far". The only one I haven't tried is ylang ylang. It's on my list. Most of their scents are too floral for me. I would be interested in the new bounty box with a scent called oak moss, but I'm not spending that kind of $$$ right now when I have about 3 years worth of soap bars in my closet. They really last a long time.

As far as the body butter - it is very rich. I like it but I'm not in love with it. I like BB's fragrances better, but it's not an everyday moisturizer for me. I prefer Josie's body butter in unscented or vanilla bean. I add a little of Skinn's essential radiance oil to the Josie's unscented and am in heaven.

Love the Orange Blossom & Honey (which is very slightly tropical), the White Water and the Fresh Air. I give Beekman as gifts and people absolutely adore both the product and the packaging. I always get a lot of very thrilled thank you replies.

Their bar soap is wonderful, and I do like a lot of their other products as well.

What kind of scent is ylang ylang? Think I'll go with their soap sampler to try a bit of everything and have gifts. The facial wipes seem interesting as well.

@ShopperGirl15I forgot to mention the wipes. I like them and will continue to use them for the foreseeable future. I use them to remove surface makeup prior to actual cleansing, to wipe off after working outside on a hot day (keep a pack in the 'fridge for this), and they're also convenient to carry in my purse.

@ShopperGirl15The Beekman Boys call it their 'sexy sexy' scent. Others have compared it to Chanel #5. To me, it smells fresh and clean, not perfumey or florally. If you want to try the ylang ylang soap (and other scents), your best bet right now is to order the 12 days of Beekman set. It has all of the soap scents in a 3.5 ounce size. Then when you find the scents that you like, you can either buy the four pack of the 9 oz bars on Evine (for around $40) or order individual bars on eBay at a reasonable price (Evine charges $15/bar plus shipping).

I agree with @Linmo description regarding ylang ylang tuberose being a more fresh and clean scent. I am not a big floral person or perfumery person. I dint think it smells like Chanel #5 at all but that just goes to show how everyone interprets scent differently!

@HappyDaze I bought a bottle of the A La Maison De Provence hand wash in Honeysuckle. It smells wonderful. I do like it & think it works just as well as Beekman for a lot less money. I still like the South of France hand washes. I bought a couple other scents to try.
