Review (4/5): An interesting combination of scents
[[ASIN:B000F5HADA Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Body & Bath Collection Souffle Body Creme 12 oz]] is hands down the best lotion I've ever purchased. As much I love the almond coconut scent, I was looking for a bit of a change. I read a lot of positive reviews of the amber vanilla scent, and I decided to try it. While I'm not a huge fan of vanilla (well, I love it as a food, but not so much as a beauty product!), I absolutely love amber-scented products. As I'm writing this review, I'm sniffing the cream, and trying to find the best way to describe the scent. It's not difficult to pick out the individual amber and vanilla aromas; it's the combination of the two that I'm having a hard time describing. As different as the two scents are, they mix well together. The slightly masculine amber keeps the vanilla from being overly sweet. I would say that the amber scent is the more pronounced of the two. This a strong scent; if you're looking for something subtle, you may want to consider another scent.
The quality of Laura Mercier's cream is superb. It's thick, rich, and absorbs well, without any greasiness. As an added bonus, the glass jar is pretty enough to leave out on my bathroom counter.
