Being a person with super dry skin (even in summer), I am terrible at remembering to apply moisturizer on my body consistently. I never forget to hydrate my face, lips, hands, or feet; it’s just the rest of my body that gets ignored. Plus, I'm picky with scents in any body products. So unless I'm completely in love with a product, I won't even bother using it routinely.
I recently picked up the Laura Mercier Soufflé Body Crème after getting multiple recommendations in the scents Almond Coconut or the Fresh Fig. After smelling all of them at the counter (several times), I was torn between Almond Coconut, Fresh Fig, and another option (just what I needed!), Crème Brûlée. They also had two other scents, Crème de Pistache, which was okay, and Ambre Vanillé, which I didn’t care for at all. I ended up taking Crème Brûlée home, after asking 20 opinions and taking way longer than acceptable to choose a body lotion.
And… I’m in love. This scent was inspired by Laura’s French upbringing, of the aura and aroma of the French patisserie. It has notes of warm caramel, spun sugar, and French vanilla bean, which blend to create a delicious and warm fragrance without being overwhelming. The consistency is ultra-whipped, super soft, but not greasy.
I absolutely how this product feels and smells. This soufflé has vitamins a, c, and e for nourishment, shea butter for moisturizing, and a ton of other good-for-your-skin ingredients in addition to feeling luxurious.
Overall, I love it. It smells fantastic, it absorbs quickly, and it's super hydrating. Plus, the packaging is luxurious and looks very chic beside my tub. I like to use this right after I have stepped out of the tub or shower, while my skin is still damp, because I find that this locks in the moisture and I end up using less of the product. It's a bit pricey, but it will be something that I repurchase. It's heaven!
