Well it looks like LUSH has resurrected a shower gel. Normally I would be pretty happy about this since I love the shower gels. I think they are a great value (a little goes a long way) and they are multi purpose (I wash my hair with them too).
I have never smelled Tramp before, but it has be enemy, Patchouli in it. Patchouli and I just don't get along.
What do you think about Tramp? Are you jusmping for joy at it's return?
What do you wish they had brough back instead? It could be a shower gel, or something else.

Tramp isn't a discon across the pond (I think they were planning on discontinuing it, but then the UK forumites were going to stage a naked protest at the factory and that was too much for them to handle so they changed their minds, lol) and I find it's a lovely scent. Patchouli is my number one favourite scent and I love all green scents. It especially smells lovely on my boyfriend and hangs around for a really long time. I find it's the strongest out of all the shower gels, except perhaps for Snow Fairy.
Personally I'd love to see the return of Freeze.

I'm a bit disappointed myself. I've never smelled Tramp, but it doesn't sound like something that I would like all that much. I'd rather have another discontinued round so I can try a bunch of things I've never tried before.
But I know what you mean about wanting more shower gels. I love the shower gels and would love to be a larger line of them.

I visited my local Lush store today. I did smell Tramp for the first time today. It gets so much hype on the NA forums, but I really don't understand why. The patchouli tends to knock you over. I do smell the mossy and green background to it but its overpowered by the patchouli way too much. I gave it a second chance by washing my hands with it at the store. Again, way too patchouli , and it didn't leave scent behind on my skin. It was definite pass for me. Instead, I got some of my faves like Brazed Honey bio-fresh and sunnyside.

I can't stand tramp. Patchouli hates me too, I just can't stand anything with patchouli in it, it stinks and gives me headaches. If they brought back Freeze, then I would be happy, especially since they're already calling for an unusually hot summer out here! A nice cooling minty shower gel would be amazing... but I'll be campaigning for World Peace ballistics when the NA discon round comes! Sweet minty bath bomb, with your gorgeous blue-green water...

I am so with you on all points! Patchouli and I have a hate/hae realtionship. I would love a cool minty shower gel!

I was never a fan of Tramp. Like some of the other posters, I am not a patchouli fan in any way. (I lived with a girl in college for a semester that used to take a bath in the stuff and to this day the scent still makes me a bit queasy!) I would be a happy gal if they brought back Antiphilitron or Ibiza Party Shampoo! I can't wait to find out what gets remade this year.

hmm... i didn't like Tramp...for me that is.
I do like the scent in general but it's not suited for me,i preffer sweet,candy,citrus,fresh & fruity scents.
I gave it to my dad and he's addicted to Tramp now :)
He actually managed to finish a 500 ml (big one)in just 4 months !!
Now he needs a new one lol.

I have never tried tramp. I'm not sure if I would like it. They don't have it in the stores yet... and I'm not putting out the money until I get the chance to smell it.

I've never had the pleasure of trying Tramp, but I don't think I'm going to place an order just to have it. Right now I'm practically drowning in shower gels and I just can't order more. This is especially so now that the discon round is coming up. I need to use up as much as I can so I can feel good about placing a gigantic order then!

It's been back in the UK for ages now, in fact it never really seemed to go as such. Personally i love this stuff, such an unusual scent, like nothing else i've ever smelt, other than Blue Skies, which it smells similar to, but more green than. I'm a huge fan of patchouli, i can't get enough of the scent, so that's no doubt why i love tramp so much! I'm pleased they decided to keep it, it's so disctinctive and irreplaceable, which is why i think they kept it/brought it back. Lush seems to have lost rather a lot of it's distinctive smells as of late to be replaced by horrible, syntheticy stuff that smells just like all the other shower gels etc out there already.

I haven't actually tried Tramp yet, mainly because I can't smell it in the shop, and I like really potent fragrances. I would have much preferred if they'd made a Honey I Washed The Kids shower gel or made Snow Fairy year round. People say it would lose its "special appeal" but I disagree. I'll probably try Tramp when I run out of everything else, but then I don't mind patchouli.

I don't like Patchouli, but I love Tramp.
it's not that nasty, sharp, bitter Patchouli, but a lovely warm, soft Patchouli, and the Oakmoss is gorgeous.
I use it to wash my dogs, as it makes their hair really soft and shiny without annoying their skin or noses.
and on a mans skin chemistry its such a sublime smell
