I recently received a lovely package of 8 mini lotions and body washes from Perlier, a bath and body brand that is completely new to me! It’s always fun to try new brands, right? Perlier is an Italian brand that focuses on natural ingredients to provide the best possible skincare benefits! Oh, and did I mention they don’t test on animals? Their products remind me of something you’d use at a spa or a really nice hotel…but maybe that is just because they are all miniature! Let’s see what I think of these scents!
Shea Butter: I don’t like the scent of shea butter, but this product adds the revitalizing scent of citrus, which made it one of my favorite scents. The body balm was not what I was expecting, in a good way! I was expecting a greasy, vaseline-type product, but in reality it was a thick body butter. I loved it! The shower cream has the same great scent with a great lather- it hasn’t given my skin that “tight” feeling and hasn’t broke me out…in fact, none of the scents did!
Honey Miel: I’m one of the few people in the world who isn’t nuts for the honey-scented products. Thankfully, this scent had a lot more floral notes in it, so I do enjoy it. The body balm is not the same as the shea one, it’s a much lighter formula, just like lotion. The body wash was the same & did the trick!
Olivarium: Whenever I think of olive oil products, I immediately think a hot, greasy mess. This formula combines Italian olive oil (duh), with Lycopene from tomatoes, to bring in some antioxidants. I really hated this scent, but the products work well. They describe it as an herbal scent reminiscent of an Italian spa, but to me it smells like weird bananas..I have read another blogger review and it was their favorite scent, so it really just depends on the scents you prefer. The body cream sinks into the skin quite quickly, I just like to mix it with a better scented lotion to mask the scent. The body wash was a lot better, and the scent didn’t irritate me, since you wash it off.
White Almond: And last but certainly not least, the white almond line contains sweet almond milk along with white almond oil, which make skin soft and supple. The almonds are from Italy as well, and the scent of it is divine! It’s a fresh scent combined with a sweet marzipan scent. I ran out of this one first, in the lotion and the body wash!
Overall I’m really impressed with this set- it’s great if you travel a lot, or just love trying new things like I do! The Perlier 8-piece mini set is available exclusively on HSN for $19.95, not too shabby for a lavish spa experience in your home, right?
