Crabtree & Evelyn - Iris - Eau de Toilette

This is a straight iris scent, and is quite lovely.

I only wish it were a little stronger (but it would be nice for someone who just wants the tiniest touch of fragrance).


Fragrantica lists the notes as bergamot (no), cassis (no), iris (yes), orris root (no), vetyver (no), musk (no), sandalwood (no), patchouli (no), and Virginia cedar (no).

I don't know where they think all those notes are hiding.  

Price: 1/5 ($70 for 100mL)
Effectiveness: 2/5
Strength: Low
Lifetime: Short
Time: Daytime
Season: Spring

Brazilian Butterfly - BB Delicate Mitt

'Delicate' my butt!

This is like rubbing yourself with Velcro! 
Maybe it is my delicate skin, but this leaves me red, sore, and not happy.

It also feels like it is made of cheap plastic, doesn't lather up body wash, and is unwieldy in the shower.

Don't lie to me and tell me this is for delicate skin.

Don't bother trying this.

Price: 2/5 ($20.00)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent)
Effectiveness: 0/5

The Body Shop - Body Cream - Fijian Water Lotus

I wasn't sure I would like this scent, but I was so wrong! 
It's marine, aquatic, floral and playful!
It is also delicate and quite a fresh scent.

Appealing to me on a 'water nymph' level.

It is less thick than the body butter but thicker than a lotion.

It absorbs well and leaves the skin feeling amazing.

I am SO tempted to buy the perfume of this scent!

Price: 3/5 ($26.95 for 200mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 4.5/5
