Advantages: Scent nad packaging

Disadvantages: Poor hydration

This is not a body lotion that I would recommend, it smells nice enough but I was really disappointed with the mositurising qualities, to be honest it felt rather greasy on my skin and even after it was absorbed into the skin it did not feel at all like it should, and for me the hydrating qualities are just not good enough. It certainly does not justify the £15ish price tag that it comes with.

I do like the packaging especially the pink pump action dispenser that is rather cute and the bottle itself is also pink with a gold band at the top. The YSL lettering is also is gold and the two colours combine well.

The fragrance of this lotion is the other positive, it has a nice spicy edge to it with some floral overtones that combine together really well , there is certainly quite a lot of fragrance in this lotion and it could clash with any perfume you might use unless you used the fragrance from YSL that is also part of the range. The problem for me with this product is that it just does not feel very nice on my skin, maybe it is just not suitable for my skin type however I have never considered my skin type to be anything unusual at all.

Overall it has a nice smell however I can get that from a fragrance, what I want from a body lotion is some mositurising qualities and that my skin feels refreshed and smooth after use and with this product I do not get the hydration I would expect and it is a bit greasy when I apply it. Not one I would recommend and I will not be buying it again.

Summary: Not for me
