I first discovered Perlier products as a teenager and became fast-friends with their scrumptious Honey line of body products, and have purchased them as a little treat to myself ever since. I am somewhat embarrassed to confess that my love of their Honey products put blinders on me, and as a result I am only just now trying their other equally delightful offerings.
I) Olivarium Bath & Shower Cream (Mini 1.6 oz.): Key ingredients include 100% organic Italian olive oil. Olive oil in formula comes from century-old trees cultivated without the use of chemical treatments. Helps create a delicate, herbal-scented bathing experience. The rich properties of pure Mediterranean olive oil makes your Bath & Shower a beauty ritual. This nourishing Bath & Shower Cream gently cleanses the skin besides deeply nourishing it. 

The Olivarium Bath & Shower Cream has this intoxicating herbal scent that soothes the senses. Like all of Perlier's products it is unbelievably moisturizing and pleasant to use. Like the rest of their Shower Creams, it does an amazing job as a shaving cream. The scent is really nothing short of amazing.

I have deep and abiding love for the Honey Shower Cream and Honey Body Balm, and I actually have a visceral reaction to the scent because it has been a constant in my life as long as I can remember. 

The Honey Shower Cream has a deep rich scent that explodes when ignited by the hot water in your shower. It is not only an amazing moisturizing body wash that leaves your skin silky smooth, but it is also amazing to use in lieu of shaving cream.

If you love the scent of almonds and love a very moisturizing body wash- then welcome to nirvana! When I use this in the shower it makes me crave the little fruit-shaped marzipan candies that I grew up eating!! My skin is left utterly soft, supple and hydrated. Like the other Perlier Shower Creams, this one also does an amazing job doubling as a shaving cream.

    1. Hi Naomi! <3 That's strange that you didn't receive it in your email!! I'm glad that you saw the post nonetheless! I have used their Honey range of products for years, but hadn't ever really tried the others-- I just can't say enough good things about the line. I definitely still favor the honey, but they are all quite amazing! The travel set is really cute and there is enough product to last quite a while. Of course the fact that they are offering it at a 25% off discount is even better. I'm super happy with this set-- everything smells scrumptious! If you get it- let me know if you like it, and if you have a favorite! xoxo Helen

  2. I didn't realize that this line was still around! When I worked at a Hallmark store years ago, we sold the Honey Line. Haven't seen it carried anywhere recently though! I do remember loving how it smelled & felt on my skin though!
