Product reviews of Laura Mercier Eau de Toilette - Creme Brulee - May be sent by Ground shipment only
Review: Fabulous, but fleeting fragrance....
Beauty product: 4 Stars
Wow! This fragrance really smells wonderful. It's rich and warm and cozy. If you like creme brulee, vanilla, sugar...you will love this fragrance.
Here's the "even better if"...It just doesn't last long enough. To fix that problem you need to do a couple of things:
1.) "Prime" your skin first with a generous layer of French Vanilla or Creme Brulee Souffle. Au Lait lotion works well too. You really can mix any of the Laura Mercier Gourmande scents! Souffle/Lotion puts enough emollient on the skin to make the fragrance stick.
2.) Ignore the "spray and walk through method" you always hear about. Apply the fragrance directly to your skin. It will be a little strong at first, but will dry down, to a rich and luxurious scent.
So the bototm line, I guess, is that you really need to make an extra investment in the souffle so you can take a layering approach. If you do that, I think you will be completely satisfied with the staying power. If you don't, you might not be thrilled with your fragrance purchase.
Review: smells great, wears off quickly
Beauty product: 3 Stars
I love Laura Mercier p(LM) roducts, in general, because they are an environment and animal-friendly company. The make-up and skin care products I've used from LM are wonderful so I thought I'd try the eu de toilette.
Although this scent is completely decadent and smells wonderful, it wears off very quickly. Within an hour, I cannot tell it's there anymore. Perhaps this is the price to pay for a product that is so well-made with good ingredients. Re-applying is necessary often.
