Fragrance Sample Edition: Chloe Eau de Parfum

Hi ladies, in this Fragrance Sample Edition series, I will review some of the fragrance samples I have. I hope some of you will find it helpful. So let’s get started with Chloe Eau de Parfum.

Describe in three words?

Crisp, rosy, romantic

What is smells like?

Top Notes: Peony, Freesia, Litchi

Middle Notes: Rose, Lily of the Valley, Magnolia

Base Notes: Amber, Virginia Cedar

For me it just a perfect interpretation of modern rose perfume, youthful, fresh and clean, the first time I dab it on my skin, I get a sweet licthi mix with a lot of roses. It just beautiful. After a few hours I get a soapy and powdery smell mix with some woodsy scent, I believe it is the Virginia cedar.

What kind of woman would wear this perfume?

I  think this fragrance suitable for a wide age range of women. From feminine young  girls to ladylike mature mature women. I can even imagine my 5 years old niece smells like this. This perfume just smells soft and calming. 

What kind of occasion suitable for this perfume?

I think this is perfect for a relax date with a new person, inoffensive for office or class, and  great to use before sleep.

How about the sillage and  longevity?

Sillage is strong and I can say this is one of the most long lasting perfumes I have ever tried. Most of my perfumes just fade after a while. But this one last on me for about  6-8 hours. Definitely outstanding in my experience.

Do I want a full size bottle? 

Yes! Absolutely yes!

Haul + Review: L'oreal, EOS, Eco Tools, The Body Shop

L’oreal Youth Code Pre-Essence

From the advertising:

Give your day cream a hydrating boost with Youth Code Serum. Youthfulness, skin that look younger, smoother & brighter.

Advanced Pro-Gen™ Technology boosts the skin’s recovery power, restoring skin’s youth. The light texture penetrates deep into the skin to dramatically improve skin quality and amplify the effect of any skincare used on top. Youth Code is suitable for all skin types and any age.

In 1 drop: More Radiant

In 1 week: More Refined
In 1 month: Rejuvenated Skin

Sounds seductive and promising right? I hope I find miracle in the bottle but unfortunately this not it. I have used it for about 2-3 weeks now and I don’t see any improvement on my skin. It just a decent moisturizer.

Texture? Watery and runny, absorbs easily into my skin without leaving oily feeling. Smells nice, a light clean, and fresh floral scent, however I prefer no fragrance at all in my facial skin care. Packaging? I love the luxurious thick glass bottle but the ‘long pipe’ is hard to use. It turns messy every time I dip the pipe back into the bottle.

Price?  Rp 250.000,- but I get it for free. If I use my own money I expect a better product. I just get a standard serum that contains these ingredients: water binding agents, peptides, cell-communicating ingredients, antioxidants etc. These are all good. However the 4th ingredient is alcohol - which could be irritating and isn't good for any skin type. If they had left out the alcohol, this would have been a better product.

Will it permanently affect wrinkles in a positive way? I don’t think so. It just going to smooth the skin.  Just like any other regular moisturizer.

The Body Shop Chocomania Body Butter

From The Body Shop website:

"This decadently chocolatey Body Butter gives extra long-lasting hydration. It contains 13 Community Fair Trade ingredients - the most we've ever put into one product. It leaves skin sweetly scented, and feeling softer and smoother.
Wear it, love it, but don't eat it."

I love The Body Shop body butters. When I saw the Chocomania range on their store, of course the body butter is the first product from Chocomania range that I tried. I just want to tell you that I immediately falling in love with this product! It smells delicious! A mouthwatering dark chocolate and a little bit ‘nutty’.

Texture? Some other body butters are stickier (Shea & Cocoa) some others are lighter (Sweet Lemon & Olive) to me Chocomania is just in the middle of that. Moisturizing without greasy feeling. Does anybody know is it limited edition or not? I hope The Body Shop will make this line permanent in their collection because I just love it so much.

Price: Rp 189.000,-

EOS Lip Balm 'Honeysuckle Honeydew'

From EOS website:

Can a lip balm make you smile? We think so. That’s why we invented this one.

Long-lasting moisture. Shea butter & vitamin E. Smoothes on clear. New smooth sphere precisely glides on to lips. Twist-off top. Gluten-free. Paraben-free. Petrolatum-free. Phthalate-free

eos lip balm is 95% organic, 100% natural, and paraben and petrolatum free. Packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, eos keeps your lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth.
directions

Twist off top. Pucker up. Smooth on. Smile.

I got this little ‘ball balm’ form indomakeup.com this is my second EOS lip balm that I have ever tried. Honeysuckle Honeydew smells just like honeydew, it moisturized, and leaves a sweet taste that I like.  Be careful, the packaging tends to get dirty easily but I will definitely try another flavor after I finish this one.

Price: Rp 68.000,-

Ecotools Bamboo 5 Pieces Brush Set

The Advertising says:

• 4 high-quality brushes inside a natural cotton & hemp linen bag
• Soft, cruelty-free bristles
• Natural & recycled materials

This earth-friendly brush set is packed with the 4 high-quality brushes you need to look beautiful. And, it shows respect for the planet:
• Bamboo handle has a low impact on the earth’s resources as it is a highly sustainable plant.
• Synthetic taklon bristles are 100% cruelty free.
• Sleek ferrule is made from recycled aluminum.
• Cosmetic case is made from natural cotton and hemp

HOW TO USE:

Mineral Powder Brush
• Apply powder or mineral foundation all over face in a circular, buffing motion and work inward towards nose.

Concealer Brush

• Use with liquid or mineral powder concealer for more coverage on blemishes and under eyes.

Eye Shading Brush

• Expertly cut to apply and blend powder eye shadows.

Baby Kabuki

• Buff powder over areas that need more coverage.

Just like the EOS lip balm I got this brush set from indomakeup.com. My favorite thing from the set is the powder brush, I use it for applying blush. It soft but packed the pigment nicely. The baby kabuki is also good for applying powder, both compact of loose.

The concealer brush doesn’t work for me to apply concealer, so I use it for applying eye shadow. The eye shading brush is a little bit too big for my eyes shape, so I use it to contour my nose and my cheek.

Overall I really like this brush set. Good quality and small enough to carry around.

Price: Rp 168.000,-

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Rp 89.000,-

From The Body Shop website:

“A natural, targeted solution to help clear blemishes quickly and effectly without over drying the skin. Also helps to soothe blemished skin.”

When I bought this product, I have a hard time figured out how to open the cap. But now I finally master the art of opening this tea tree oil. Just like the description on top I use it on my blemishes, it helps but it just takes time for this oil to dry up the acne. I haven’t found the acne medication that works well on me. Do you have any suggestion? Please tell me on the comment below.

Small Haul and Review: MAC & Etude House

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Review: Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque

On the packaging:

‘This thoroughly cleansing masque may be used for normal to oily skin types to help eliminate debris and dead surface skin-cell accumulation that can clog pores and leaves skin dull-looking. With ingredients sourced from the Marajo Island at the mouth of the Amazonian River, this unique formula is rich in minerals and helps eliminate surface toxins from skin. Our deep cleansing masque helps to purify skin, leaving the appearance of pores minimized and skin refined.’

Directions:

‘Apply a thin layer to a damp, clean skin, avoiding the immediate eye area and allow to dry (approximately ten minutes). When dry, gently remove using a warm, wet towel and gently pat dry. Recommended for use once or twice a week’

My Experience:

When I bought it, I got a sample of Kiehl’s Blue Herbal Gel Cleanser and Blue Herbal Moisturizer. Rumor has it that Andy Warhol was a fan of these products. Pretty amazing huh? I used the cleanser then I put on the mask.

In my opinion this mask has a creamy but watery consistency, is that even makes sense? It smells weird, but tolerable, a little bit goes a long way, so I think I’m going to have a hard time emptying the whole jar. It felt slightly tight after I put in on for 10-15 minutes. After rinsed that off, I noticed that my skin felt smoother, fresher, brighter, and cleaner. The pore-minimizing claim? After I used it, my pores became much smaller, but the effect didn’t last very long. Overall I don’t really recommend this product because I find some cheaper drugstore brands kind of did the same effect.

Price: Rp 300.000,-

PS: the Blue Herbal Moisturizer is amazing though! It moisturized without the oily effect. It just compeletely matte on my face, thumbs up! And I love to try the Rare Earth Pore Minimizing Lotion. Has anyone tried it? Tell me what you think about it.

Etude Hause Review

I went to the Etude House event at Mall Taman Anggrek last week. They were re-launching their boutique, it was crowded but all the girls looked excited. Too bad I forgot to bring my camera, I can’t show you how pretty the interior was. All I can say, everything is very girly, white and pink, with a beautiful shiny crystal chandelier hanging in the middle of the store.

And the best part Etude House gave the first 250 attendees an awesome goody bag worth of Rp 500.000,- (plus awesome discount and amazing additional freebies that day). Overall it was a very fun experience. Now let’s take a look at these little goodies

Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Powder Wash

From the website:

“Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Powder Wash gently exfoliates skin with a powder texture and penetrates pores to absorb oil and residues for a thorough cleanse.”

The powder has a fine texture. It is not harsh, it is not going to tear you skin. I mix a small amount of product with a little bit of water and it dissolves into this milky consistency. It has a slight smell of milk/coconut too. The result? It did clean face very well without being drying or oily. My face felt smooth after use it.

Aloe Moistfull Skin Care Kit (Soothing Skin, Soothing Lotion, Soothing Cream)

From the website:

“Moistfull Aloe Soothing Skin is a gel skin (toner) with enriched Baobab Tree extracts  and Organic Aloe, and supplies instant, full-charged moisture to the skin just like Aloe  juice.”

Buyers beware, because of the ‘aloe juice like’ consistency and the packaging, I almost waste a half bottle at the first time I used it! It didn’t absorb right away to the cotton ball, it spilled everywhere. Just be patient, you’ll get used to it.

“Moistfull Aloe Soothing Lotion is a milk textured lotion containing Baobab Tree extracts and Organic Aloe that soothes the skin with soft and comfortable wear.”

“Moistfull Aloe Soothing Cream is formulated with enriched Baobab Tree extracts and Organic Aloe and supplies full-charged moisture deep into the skin and keeps moisture level.”

I believe the Aloe Moistfull Skin Care Kit is addressed towards people with dry skin. I have oily skin, I tried it and this product doesn’t cause a breakout. It just makes my skin oilier. I definitely recommend this product to people with dry skin.

Dear Darling Ultra Shine Lips No. 4

I was scared when I open the tube and look at the color. It just so bright, shimmery, and orange! Fortunately it goes quite sheer when applied to the lips. Subtle enough for day, glam enough for night. Another plus, it moisturized and has a nice creamy texture.

Pomegranate Mask

I got this mask for Rp 5.000,- a very good deal indeed! But I haven’t tried it yet so I can’t give you my opinion, one girl at the store told me that the pomegranate mask smells really good, Sold! I love nice smelling thing. On the packaging it says this essence mask contains pomegranate that nourish for a healthy complexion.

Black nailpolish

Self explanatory. I also got the nailpolish for Rp 5.000,-

Missing U hand Cream #1 this is “harp seal story”

Because of spending Rp 10.000,- on the nailpolish and mask I got a chance to ‘spin the wheel’ and got another additional gift, so I got this baby. How adorable is the packaging? Very cute right? it does a good job to moisturized my hand. however when typing on my keyboard, I find it a little bit too oily.  So I don’t recommend using this and then typing on the computer or cell phone. The scent? it smells okay, light citrusy scent. Nothing earth-shattering but still a nice smelling product.

And I got the Rp 50.000,- gift voucher and card name holder, thank you so much Etude House

So, have you tried any product I mention above? What do you think about it? What is your favorite product from Etude House? Tell me on the comment below

Collective Haul and Review: Victoria’s Secret, Bath & Body Works, Caring Colours, Revlon, Maybelline

Hi vixen, long time no see, I've been really busy with work, finally I got my first real job! yay! So let's just jump to the review, shall we?

Victoria’s Secret Sexy Little Things Eau de Parfum

My boyfriend gave this to me as my second birthday gift, he’s so sweet right?  It has holographic pictures of Alessandra Ambrossio on the box. The bottle itself is adorable, perfect display on my vanity.

Top notes: osmanthus, apple, water lily

Middle notes: honeysuckle, jasmine, lotus

Base notes: iris, musk, cashmere woods

When I spray it, I can definitely smell the apple, after a while it develops to a more musky scent. I would describe Sexy Little Things as a fun, young, light fruity scent, perfect for spring and summer. Somehow I recall a resemblance between Sexy Little Things with Paris Hilton EDP and Ralph Lauren ‘Ralph’. So if you have one of those probably you don’t want to buy the others because they are quite similar.

Sillage is decent, longevity is ok, not suddenly disappears after five minutes, but not stays all day either. I say it lingers on me for about 2-3 hours, Overall I really enjoy this fragrance. 

Revlon Lip Butter in ‘Strawberry Shortcake

’Revlon lip butter is insanely popular in my country. I notice a lot of Indonesian beauty bloggers are in love with this product too. So to feed my lip butter craving, I got another color called ‘strawberry shortcake’, a sheer barbie pink that looks really girly on the tube. However on my yellow undertone skin (NC25) it doesn’t look right, it washes me out. But I love the formula of Revlon lip butter, so in the future, I will definitely try some other colors.

No flash

Maybelline Lip Smooth Color and Care in ‘Strawberry’

I bought this because at that time I forgot to bring my makeup bag, my lips were pale and dry so I bought this lippy. I must tell you that the pigmentation of this product is amazing! ‘strawberry’ is a lovely medium pink color, I think it suits me. Oh and did I tell you it smells yummy?

Revlon Colorstay Soft and Smooth in ‘Pink Indulgence’

It supposed to be my mom’s but I took it from her (sorry mom, it just so pretty, you too can take any makeup from my drawer). ‘Pink Indulgence’ is a pink lipstick with a slight purple undertone in it, gorgeous! Another plus is the scent, usually Revlon lipstick has a weird plastic smell, but this one has a sheer vanilla scent which I really like.

With Flash

Caring Colours Blemless Balm Cream Everlast

If you don’t like wearing foundation on daily basis then BB cream is the perfect choice for you. It covers imperfections and at the same time takes care of your skin. The Everlast from Caring Colours is containing hazel as astringent to conceal the appearance of big pores, plus cinnamon extract which function as oil sebum regulator, suitable for oily skin. The texture itself is light and creamy. Do not afraid with the color, it is going to match every skin tone, it blends into your skin easily.  

Caring Colours Blemless Balm Cream Fair White

From the name, ‘Fair White’ supposes to whiten your complexion, I notice when I put it on, my skin becoming brighter and fresher. Texture wise, it is drier and thicker than the Everlast. Price for both products are affordable. Overall I really do enjoy using both of the Caring Colurs Blemless Balm Creams. 

Bath and Body Works ‘Warm Vanilla Sugar’ Body Lotion

Because my ‘Warm Vanilla Sugar’ body spray doesn’t last really long, I bought the matching lotion for layering purpose. I believe I have the old packaging, the new one doesn’t look like this. But nonetheless this lotion smells really good! You have to try it by yourself. The texture is quite creamy but absorb really well. Not oily and leaves your skin silky smooth.

Victoria’s Secret ‘Sheer Love’ Ultra-Moisturizing Hand and Body Cream

Again, I purchased this for layering purpose, my ‘Sheer Love’ body spray doesn’t really linger on me. Texture wise this cream is quite thick and creamy, but like the ‘Warm Vanilla Sugar’ it absorbs really well and not oily.

Review: L’oreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer

After reading a lot of reviews online, I have decided to purchase this primer by L’oreal. This velvet matte texture primer is suppose to smooth wrinkles and fine lines, hide pores, and correct skin imperfections. Contains silicon oils and soft light podwers created a smooth formula to prepare the skin for further makeup application.  

Pros:

This product doesn’t break me out. I used to be worry about this primer giving me acne because of the silicon oils in it, but after tried it for the last few weeks I can tell you this primer doesn’t cause blemishes on my skin.

It does hide my pore. I have oily-acne prone skin with big pores around my cheek and this primer conceals everything well. This product makes my pore less noticeable.

It makes my makeup last longer. Before I tried this product, usually after an hour wearing foundation or powder I always had to blot my face with my Clean & Clear Oil Blotting Sheets. After I use this primer I don’t have to blot as much.

This product makes a good eyeshadow primer too. Usually my eyeshadow tends to crease easily but after I use this my eyeshadow stays neat for a longer time.

A little goes a long way. A small amount can cover my entire face.If you pick up too much product, it will be hard to even out this primer on your skin.

Doesn’t have annoying strong smell.

It makes my skin feel so smooth and silky.

Cons:

The packaging can be unhygienic. You put your finger to the pot and transferring germs. My tips: wash your hand before you use it or take a cotton bud and dip it to the pot to get the product out. Use new cotton but every time you use it.

For the amount of product you get I’ll say this primer is on the pricier side, I got mine for  Rp 149.000,- (about USD $ 16)

Overall I really enjoy my primer and I recommend this product to everyone.

FOTD + Review of Clarins UV Plus HP SPF 40 Day Screen High Protection and Clarins Joli Rouge

Hi all Vixens out there, I won Clarins Twitter contest and they sent me this two products. For more giveaways please follow @ClarinsID on Twitter. After more than a week playing with these two things, here I give you my thought about these products.

Clarins Joli Rouge in 731 Rose Berry

No flash

With flash 

I think this is a very nice underrated lipstick. I never hear someone talking about this product before. Such ironies because for me, this is literally the most comfortable lipstick I ever try. Even better than MAC lipstick. Very creamy, very moisturizing, no waxy feeling, long lasting, amazing pigmentation, and nice heavy packaging. The color I have is ‘Rose Berry’, it looks very dark in the tube, but one or two swipes on the lips give me a natural mauve color. Very lovely! Overall I really want to try another Joli Rouge and I recommend this lipstick to everyone.

 Clarins UV Plus HP SPF 40 Day Screen High Protection

This sunscreen is very lightweight. The consistency is like water, very ‘liquid’ and thin in texture. When I apply it on my face it goes on smoothly and slightly sticky, but do not worry because it absorbs quick and dries matte. The downside for me is the scent. I just don’t like the scent, it is not a super strong scent but It just not a good scent for me, I believe everyone is going to have a different opinion about the smell but I just don’t like it. If you don’t mind a little bit scent in your sunscreen then I say go for this product.

Haul and Review: Bath and Body Works, Skin Food, Victoria's Secret, Revlon

Hi everyone, I hope you enjoy this post

Revlon Colorburts Lipstick in Soft Nude

I haven’t found my Holy Grail nude lipstick, so I try this one. The quilted packaging reminds me of the uber popular Chanel 2.55 purse. The top lid shows you exactly the lipstick color inside, I love it. This color looks very pretty in the tube, a neutral peachy nude, but on me, I don’t know… sometimes it looks okay, sometimes it just makes my face kinda ‘green’ and somewhat ‘unhealthy’. Maybe this is not a right nude color for me. Most of the time I pair it with NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in ‘Natural’. I think the combination looks great on my skin tone. I’m continuing my search to find the perfect nude lipstick. If you have any recommendation please tell me on the comment below

Victoria’s Secret ‘Love Spell’ Fragrance Mist

Notes: Chamomile, aloe, cherry blossom, peach

The all time best selling smell from Victoria’s Secret! I purchased this product without smelling it, Adriana Lima did a great job selling this to me through one commercial video. Let me tell you, I don’t love it but I don’t hate it either. It smells fruity to me. I can smell the peach and somewhat I sense an orange too. Juicy, flirty, playful, very ‘teenage’ like because I can’t imagine older women wear it. The first spray is a little bit strong and harsh but the alcohol settles down quickly. Somewhat this product reminds me of car freshener, if you are planning to purchase this particular scent, don’t forget to smell it first.

Sillage: weak to medium, I find Victoria’s Secret Pure Seduction Refreshing Body Mist (the old packaging) is much stronger. I spray the Pure Seduction and my entire bed room smells like it.

Longevity: poor. After all you can’t expect a long lasting scent from a body spray. 

Skin Food Gold Apple Hand Balm

This stuff smells amazing, a light, true scent of green apple, the texture is creamy, not to thick not too thin. It does the job moisturized my dry hand, after a few second it absorbs into my skin and leaves a soft smooth feeling! Awesome! I recommend this to everyone!

Bath and Body Works ‘Warm Vanilla Sugar’

Middle Notes: coconut, vanilla, rice

Base Notes:  sandalwood, musk, vanilla, heliotrope

This one is probably my favorite Bath and Body Works scent so far. It smells exactly like vanilla and sugar, a light sweet vanilla with a sugar sprinkled on top. Very yummy, not offensive, not too powdery, and not too sweet. It just right. Usually wearing heavy vanilla scent on hot day can be unbearable (especially with The Body Shop Vanilla EDT and Burberry ‘Brit’ EDT) but I don’t have any problem with Warm Vanilla Sugar on a hot day. Try it! I think most people would love it!

Sillage: Poor

Longevity: Poor. Again…well this is body spray. I f you want long lasting fragrance, go buy Eau de Parfum or Parfum instead. Even most Eau de Toilettes don’t last long nowadays. For this particular scent I find it last longer when you spray it on clothes. Maybe I should buy the matching lotion to make this scent stays on longer. 

Bath and Body Works ‘Country Chic’

Top Notes: grapefruit, pear, green notes, tagetes, amalfi lemon

Middle Notes: jasmine, African orange flower, gardenia, lily, raspberry

Base Notes: musk, patchouli, Virginia chedar, amber, peach, orchid, praline

Another blind purchase, this one smells exactly like Oriflame ‘Miss O Fashion Princess’ ( the blue bottle on the left with blue atomizer) fruity floral, not too strong, not too sweet, not too sour, not overly flowery, the difference is, Country Chic is lighter. Both Country Chic and Miss O Pashion Princess smell good, I can see this two fragrances loved by so many people, I do want to like this, but I don’t know! There is something about this two that give me a slight headache, I don’t know what, I just recommend you to smell it first before you buy it.

Sillage: Poor

Longevity: Poor

Bath and Body Works ‘Paris Amour’

Top Notes: Mandarin orange, strawberry, cassis, apple blossom, freesia

Middle Notes: Jasmine, lotus, peach, frangipani, pink tulip

Base Notes: Musk, sandalwood, amber, vanilla, coconut

I didn’t buy this one. My friend Novi did (blind purchase too) but she let me to review this product for you. Novi and me will swap a small amount of our Bath and Body Works. She can get my ‘Warm Vanilla Sugar’  and ‘Country Chic’, I get her  ‘Paris Amour’. Fair enough! swapping is a great way to try new product when you aren’t sure whether you will like it or no. We have the chance to try it to think about it before we decide to buy it.  For me Paris Amour smells wonderful! Light but sweet. The first thing I notice when I spray is strawberry, then it develops to a sweet yummy smell, like frosting! Yes frosting! Totally will purchase my own someday, plus look at the bottle! It just looks very cute on my table

Sillage: poor. The funny thing is, I use like one spray on my shirt, after a while, I decided to play with both of my dogs. They licked my shirt like crazy! Maybe they want strawberry and frosting? So cute

Longevity: poor

So do you have any question about these products? Don’t hesitate to ask me on the comment section below. Have a nice day all!

Review: L'occitane Lavender Shower Gel and Body Lotion

I got these goodies from L’occitane Indonesia! I won their Twitter contest so they gave me L’occitane Lavender Shower Gel and Body Lotion. Sweet!

Follow their Twitter @LOCCITANE_ID for more awesome giveaway!

L’occitane Lavender Shower Gel

I took the goodies from L’occitane boutique at Pasific Place Jakarta, it was comfortable and beautiful inside the store, this condition made me really enjoy looking around the store. I feel like a child in candy store! So many lovely products! Plus, let me tell you, two girls that work there were very sweet and helpful. They let me tried their products and they had amazing knowledge about every products. After a long commute from home to L’occitane Pasific Place , the experience was worth it.

So, in the afternoon I tried the shower gel. This gel smells divine, and relaxing. The thing is, this shower gel doesn't foam up well, it doesn’t have a lot of bubbles. But I need to remind you this shower gel is an organic and natural product. Maybe they don’t put so many detergents that create bubbles in the ingredients, that is a good thing right? After shower this product leaves my skin silky and moisturized. Such a luxury!

L’occitane Lavender Body Lotion

Again this natural and organic lavender lotion smells extremely relaxing! The texture is light and absorbed quickly, very nice for a people who don’t like sticky and oily lotion. I think it is a great everyday or every night lotion, especially in the hot summer months because it does have a cooling sensation when you applied it to your skin.  I will definitely repurchase, because this product makes me feel much pampered!

Note to L’occitane: Please bring back Wild Cherry Tree EDT! that one is my favorite…please…please…make it permanent in your stores!
