Review (5/5): Sweet Dreams
I love the Laura Mercier line, but I've found the sweet-scented lotions, like Creme Brulee, to be overpowering. I'm willing to keep trying, though, and I'm glad I did. I love the Ambre Vanille Souffle Body Crème
Ambre Vanille Souffle Body Creme comes in a heavy, clear glass jar. The silver lid easily screws off and on and the label is elegant and attached to the front of the jar. It’s pretty and I love having it on my counter.
I'm used to the thick texture of body butter, so I was surprised by the lightness of the Souffle Body Creme. It has the texture and appearance of whipped cream--only it smells much richer! The creme goes on a little white, but once it's rubbed in you can no longer see it. My skin feels soft and smooth and not at all greasy
I find this fragrance to be much more subtle than the Creme Brulee Hand Crème, but it’s still pretty strong. I'm not certain what Amber smells like, but I definitely smell the coconut, vanilla, and sandalwood. As much as I like this fragrance, I do think it's too much for me to wear during the day, so I've switched to using it at night. I drift off to sleep to the scent of Ambre Vanille
I suspect that the Ambre Vanille fragrance isn't for everyone and at these prices, you really want to make sure that you love the scent before investing in it. The souffle texture is a nice change of pace from my usual body butter.
