So, the gentlemen of Whom You Know just HAD to try it!!!


Crabtree & Evelyn West Indian Lime returns with a twist to the fragrance and striking new packaging inspired by original artwork found in Crabtree & Evelyn archives.  The heritage collection includes Cologne and Invigorating Body Wash, which have been granted The Royal Warrant by HRH, The Prince of Wales.

Blended in the apothecary tradition, this timeless tonic was inspired by the ingredient rich British West Indies and features notes of fresh limes, lemon, mandarin, juniper berry, elemi (a tree sap), and vetiver blended with nutmeg, ginger, coriander, cedar and sandalwood.

Our panel raved:

I chose this amazing body wash and was impressed to say it is one of my favorites! Since I have been using Crabtree & Evelyn West Indian Lime Body Wash I find that I no longer need to use body lotion on my body. It really keeps my skin soft and hydrated. I love that my skin is supple and soft and people have noticed. The wash lathers like no other washes I have ever used. The smells is amazing and subtle - it is refreshing and really wakes you up.  Typically my skin gets dry and somewhat itchy but with this wash I haven't had that problem. Your skin is one of the first thing people notice about a person so it's important to use the best product on the market. I believe that Crabtree & Evelyn West Indian Lime Body Wash indeed does that. It smells great, hydrates, lathers and goes the extra mile.


West Indian Lime Body Wash is yet another great product from Crabtree and Evelyn.  The vibrant lime green helps brighten up the showering experience even on dark rainy days.  The citrus fresh scent wakes me up and helps my mind and body wake up.  This body wash lathers up great, so just a li'l on a loofah goes a long way and leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean.  Not only does this soap clean you up from head to toe, it also deodorizes your body and leaves the entire shower/bathroom smelling great.  This is not a once-a-week wash, but a great soap to use every day.  It doesn't dull or dry the skin, but rinses clean every time. Crabtree Evelyn never disappoints when it comes to skin care, and West Indian Lime Body Wash brings a little authentic British West Indies to your home shower.

Who says guys and gals can’t share the same body wash, not Crabtree & Evelyn, that’s for sure.  My girlfriend and I had the opportunity to try Crabtree & Eveyn’s West Indian Lime Body Wash over the weekend, and what a cool product.  Smells like a fresh lime and moisturizes the skin better than most body wash products out there.  I am the guy that goes to the store and smells each body wash and makes my decision off that, only to go home use it and realize the scent disappears the moment you dry off, not this body wash.  The scent and moisturizer holds for a good part of the day and it makes you feel fresh and clean.  It comes in a 10.1 oz plastic bottle and unlike a lot of other body washes you don’t need a ton of it to wash your whole body.  I just dabbed a little bit on my wash cloth and I was my whole body, it was great.  This is a product I recommend to men and women as my girlfriend also loves it and she is a body wash product snob.  She was sold on it after a single use, as was I.  This wash gives you a refreshing fragrance and feel throughout the day and no men you won’t feel or smell like a women, I promise.  I give it my thorough approval.


The first time I used the West Indian Lime body wash I could feel it was invigorating and purifying leaving my skin feeling tip top. When having my morning shower it felt like my cares were being washed away. Refreshing and zesty washing with this promoted a feeling of complete well being - what a great start to the day. With the recent hot weather we've been having using a citrus based wash is great because it is not heavy or musky, definitely a body wash worth taking on the summer holidays. It doesn't lather up as much as some other body washes but leaves you feeling so fresh and clean. Well done to Crabtree & Evelyn for another great product, this has now become a must have in my bathroom, this product is by Royal Appointment to His Royal H ighnessThe Prince of Wales for a very good reason.
