Review (4/5): Different?
I have been a huge Laura Mercier Body Souffle fan since the products inception and this is my fourth fragrance from the range. Creme Brûlée is my all time favourite followed by the now unavailable :( French Vanilla. Since I love Amber and Vanilla I thought I'd give this one a try. The consistency once on the skin is very different from all the other Souffle's I've used - you have to really rub it in before you see it absorb, it seems to sort of 'smear' down my arm and doesn't have that same smooth velvety consistency that all the others I have used have. Don't get me wrong, it's still 'smooth' but feels 'dryer' on the skin, not as hydrating or something. The Amber and Vanilla fragrance is not as pronounced as you would imagine but comes together quite well. The initial application is surprisingly fresh, you can definitely smell the Tangerine, Orchid etc floral notes but then becomes warmer once it settles on the skin. I was expecting the fragrance to be a lot warmer than it is however I quite like it, it's a nice change.
