Liz Earle Vanilla & Saffron Silky Body Lotion

When I was buying my Liz Earle Skincare Try-Me Kit (review) in John Lewis, I received a sample sachet of the Vanilla & Saffron Silky Body Lotion (£15.25), part of their new bodycare range. There are two other scents in the range, Bergamot & Ginger and Tiare & Jasmine, and each scent also comes in a Creamy Shower Nectar.

As far as the Vanilla & Saffron scent goes, it has top notes of water lotus, saffron and honeydew, a heart of gardenia, muguet and white orchid, and a warm base of Madagascan vanilla, tonka bean and whipped musk. This is a warm and luxurious, yet summery scent that reminds me of something from Hollister or Abercrombie & Fitch. It has a strong, long-lasting fragrance for a body lotion, and makes my skin smells divine. Initially I thought it smelt a bit yoghurty, but then it dried down into a rich and creamy floral that I could smell even hours after application.

I'm not the hugest lover of body lotions, but this has really impressed me. I love the scent, and the way it makes my skin feel. I don't think the price is that bad at just over £15, so I think I'll be purchasing a full size at some point, as well as the matching Shower Nectar. And probably the other two scents... Can you tell I'm hooked?
