Review (4/5): Exceptional fragrance for consumers who like airy florals!
The Bouquet Garni Fragranced Body Shower gel’s most prominent characteristic is its scent. It definitely has the airy, ethereal fragrance of a delicate powder, leaving a pleasant and gentle scent wafting after washing—no additional cologne or perfume needed Though it takes between (an estimated) 1-2 tablespoons of the gel to get sufficient lathering action, once it does, it cleans well and does result in that wonderful fragrance post showering. One claim from the promo text I do somewhat question is that of “perfectly moisturized skin.” I would have to say that any moisturizing properties are just average, not exceptional. Part of the evaluation criteria is assessing thickness and packaging. Thickness is exactly what I would expect it to be, remaining where it’s poured lying atop a washcloth and neither running off nor penetrating the cloth until appropriate action is taken. As for the packaging, the design appeal of colors and shape get high marks. Unfortunately, my bottle is one where the pump would never fully unlock, dispensing only a minute amount at a time, which is both impractical and extremely frustrating. I’ve had to remove the pump and pour, which is much less efficient. Generally, this product would be toward the outside price range of what I would consider, but I do think its exceptional fragrance makes it worthwhile purchase both for a gift or for personal use knowing it will result in a clean, soft fragrance requiring no additional products.
