Description: “Take a mini vacation to
the Mediterranean with body cream formulas created by Italy
First Impression: The jar is adorable and it’s very easy to
chuck in your purse. It’s glass but it’s
pretty thick and sturdy so I don’t think you’d have any issues with breakage. Unfortunately, the full-size jars seem to be
opaque white plastic from what I could tell online, which isn’t nearly as
romantic and I’m trying to get away from using plastics as much as I can. The
particular scent I received in my TestTube was Frangipani (a.k.a. plumeria). Made with sunflower oil and Vitamin E, the
cream feels very rich going on but melts into your skin. I HATE feeling greasy and this stuff turns out
to be as light as a feather. The
fragrance is delightful. It’s flowery
but not cloying and it’s very subtle. You
have to get really close to the skin to smell it. I’d love to try all the scents in this line. Typical ingredients used in Perlier body
cream, depending on the scent, are organic honey, olive oil, citrus extracts,
white jasmine, etc. P & E also
operates their own 150-acre farm to grow the ingredients used in their creams. Nice. The
price isn’t too shabby either.

Rating so
far: 4 – Love it. Will treat myself
for Christmas, birthday, etc.
0 – Too early to tell.
1 – If you want to gross people out for Halloween—go
for it.
2 – Useless, in my humble opinion. Don’t waste your money.
3 – Like it but not worth going into debt for it.
4 – Love it. Will
treat myself for Christmas, birthday, etc.
5 – OMG. I
would sell my mother for the last bottle/jar/tube of this stuff.
