Lancôme: Aroma Tonic, Eau de Toilette

What do you get when you cross aromatherapy with the skills of Lancome?s scientific research team? Aromatonic. I first smelt this when I was given a trial size as part of a goodie pack when I bought another Lancome product. It was so delicious that I kept lingering past the Lancome counter on my lunch hour and spraying it on. After the 10th day in a row, I thought I had better buy it before the lady asked me ?So are you going to buy this or what?? I always find fragrance opinions quite difficult, because more than almost any other product, people have different perceptions of what they like. Smell is one of the most subjective senses, but all I can say as ...  Read the complete review

You know in the winter months when it is miserable outside and you spend all your time cocering yourself up in the hope that you can keep warm, well that is the time of year when your skin can suffer a great deal.

OK we don't have the heat (yet) this summer but if we had to put up with a heat wave that's what I would go for. This is the most refreshing products I ever tried even though the price stretched my purse and I don't usually go for the big names cosmetic companies stuff. Spray aromatonic on, after the shower/bath or just under your clothes in the day and it's just like you've walked under a waterfall of green freshness (cut grasses, citrus, green tea). The other product I liked in the range is the "liquid talcum" with the same great but discreet smell to leave your skin smooth and unclammy for a long time. The perfuming agents for the ...  Read the complete review
