We are often asked which fragrances are best suited to Hair Conditioners, Shampoo and Liquid Soaps. I tend to use fruity and sweet fragrances more for Conditioner and Liquid Soap rather than for Shampoo, but most of these work nicely in all products. Of course there are loads more that you may like - such as Coconut & Lemongrass, Cool Water, Shave and a Hair Cut and the list goes on!
- Black Currant - fruity
- Coco Mango - tropical
- Coconut and Lime Fragrance
- Cranberry Fig - crisp, fruity
- Crisp Apple Rose - fruity and slightly floral
- Crisp Green Apple - just like its name!
- Energy - lively citrus
- Juicy Mango - fruity
- Island Escape – tropical
- Kumquat – fruity
- Lemongrass and Exotic Lime Fragrance
- Neroli & Shea Blossom - a balance between citrus and light floral
- Night Violet - floral
- Sage & Lemongrass Fragrance - fresh and lightly herbal
- Shave and A Hair Cut - typical male scent - this is very popular!
- Night Violet - floral
- White Tea and Ginger - elegant and fresh - I love this in everything!
- Yuzu - fruity citrus

Of course these are just my personal favourites, but there are lots of others. I personally don’t care for many florals in my hair, so that is why there aren’t many listed here except Neroli and Shea Blossom and Night Violet - so if you are a floral kind of person - go for it! :)
And never forget BLENDING – this allows you to create your personal list of very best favourites!
