New cheapie shower gel line at CVS (and one of the scents is really good!)

Have any of you seen this new cheapie shower gel line at CVS? They're $1.99 each (12 oz) and the bottles don't have a brand name but they don't say CVS either. The only company listed on the back of the bottle is the distributor, so I'm not sure if this is a house brand or what. Anyway, here are some pics:


As you can see, there are two men's fragrances ("Sport" and "Refreshing") and the others are: "Tranquil", "Escape", "Fresh" and "Romance".

Let me break these scents down for you:

Sport and Refreshing: Both are your standard men's shower gel fragrances. Nothing new here at all, but they are highly scented.

Tranquil: Your standard aquatic shower gel fragrance. Smells like any other drugstore shower gel that has the word "water" or "ocean" in it.

Escape: Aaaah, now HERE is the one that stand outs! Do you remember a few years ago when suntan lotion was a super popular note in women's fragrances? I remember that everyone was nuts over any perfume that smelled like Coppertone (here's an example of a scent everyone was especially crazy for). Well "Escape" has that suntan lotion note, but I also detect some coconut and cocoa butter in there. This was an unexpected surprise and I think it's worth $1.99 for the fragrance alone.

Fresh: A very pronounced cucumber note--almost just a straight-up cucumber scent. Very much reminds me of a BBW scent.

Romance: Another BBW dupe and this time it's Sweet Pea. All the way.

For $1.99 a piece, these definitely do not lack in fragrance--they are all highly scented. As for the ingredients, they look to be your typical SLS formula.

Have you seen these in your local CVS stores? Are you thinking about picking one up? I'd love to know.
