Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter: A Delicious Review!

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Link)

Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter has simply got to be the most scrumptious body butter that I have ever tried! It smells divine, and while Perlier describes it as "pleasantly scented with the sensual notes of honey and oriental woods" I do pick up a slight sweet earthiness to the scent. Interestingly, the scent seems to morph into a chocolate-tinged honey on my skin, but soon fades after application.

This "marvelous melting body butter" is formulated with the rare honey from African Black Bees that has been combined with Royal Jelly. This beautiful concoction deeply nourishes the skin leaving it supremely moisturized and hydrated. While I would most certainly argue that Imperial Honey Body Butter is well-suited to year-round use, it is absolutely and positively winter perfect! I realize that winter in Los Angeles differs markedly from, say, winter in Toronto-- but it has been getting quite cold at night here, and this body balm has been a skin-saver for my dry winter skin.
As you can probably tell from this picture, this is a rich and dense body butter, but it really does effortlessly melt into the skin. The texture is soft, creamy, buttery, but not in the least bit greasy or unpleasant. It leaves a lovely light protective veil on the skin, and the final textural presence is that of the high quality Shea Butter that was chosen for this body butter.
Ingredients: AQUA (WATER), BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER (BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER), THEOBROMA CACAO BUTTER (THEOBROMA CACAO (COCOA) SEED BUTTER), ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE, PERSEA GRATISSIMA OIL (PERSEA GRATISSIMA (AVOCADO) OIL), BEHENYL ALCOHOL, PEG-40 STEARATE, STEARYL ALCOHOL, DIMETHICONE, GLYCERYL STEARATE SE, PENTAERYTHRITYL DISTEARATE, STEARIC ACID, MEL (HONEY), SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS OIL (SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS (JOJOBA) SEED OIL), CETYL ALCOHOL, ROYAL JELLY, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), PHENOXYETHANOL, CARBOMER, IMIDAZOLIDINYL UREA, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, TETRASODIUM EDTA, BHT, METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE, COUMARIN.
Overall assessment: Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter is simply divine! This is yet another reason to love Perlier!

  1. I love rich dense body butters. This looks like a thick creamy boost of hydration and what can be better than a chocolate scented goodness!
    Have a wonderful day :)

  3. I just got this body butter and the scent was atrocious, which is unlike Perlier. Glad I read your review, I probably got a bad batch.

    1. Hi Sandy,

      You know, it might just be that you don't like the scent. This does not have the regular scent of Perlier's Honey products-- this has a definite woodsy earthy sweet component that comes through when you sniff it in the jar. With my body chemistry this subsides when I put it on, and then it morphs into a chocolate-tinged honey sort of scent. The scent is, in my estimation, uncharacteristic of Perlier's Honey products. Of course it is possible that if yours smells atrocious that it is turned, but it may also be that this unusual scent just doesn't appeal to you!! :-)
