L'occitane Solid Perfume - Fleur Cherie - Review

 In the review of L'occitane Solid Perfume- Green Tea- The Vert i have written how convenient the solid perfume is.Please check here if you want to see.
Some more facts about Solid Perfume - In Solid perfume there is no alcohol content which makes it suitable for people with  sensitive skin also. The composition is  8% concentration of the extract in beeswax and Paraffin base.


Now i am going to review another variant- L'occitane Solid Perfume- Fleur Cherie


It is a love at first site.Who can resist this cute heart shaped container ?This was introduced as their valentine edition. It really looks like a best gift a boy can give to his sweet heart na?

What is the product description by L'occitane?
"
The Fleur Chérie scent is available as solid perfume, held in a heart-shaped case. The perfect gift for our beloved ones.
All the scented magic of orange blossom in a festive heart shaped solid perfume, for fragrant touch-ups throughout the day.
Dissolve on the skin, Delicately perfumes with a precious and delicate fragrance."

 Direction to use : Apply on pulse points(neck,bust and wrist).
Price : INR 600 for 10 ml. (I got it for 420  on sales)


My experience :

Texture ,color everything same as the Green Tea variant. Compared to Green Tea perfume by L'occitane  this one have a very mild smell.It is a sexy feminine kinda smell.But it is very mild and staying power is like umm..half hour?..yaa..you heard it right,it terribly fails in staying power department.


So i guess other than the cute container it is better to opt green tea variant compared to this one.


I am planning to get Fleur Cherie Shower gel or body lotion or both and then this will stay more time i hope. (I guess i would have posted this before Valentines day ;)


And so boys if planning to gift girl friends this perfume don't forget to gift them Fleur Cherie Shower gel and body lotion also.


And hopes you all had a wonderful Valentines day:)

L'occitane Solid Perfume -The Vert-Green Tea-Review

Most of the perfumes stay on me for a couples of hours only.At present i am using Victoria's Secret Crush which i love and unfortunately it also stay only 3-4 hours .So no need to tell, reapplying is must for me. It is very difficult to reapply perfume while travelling or when in company of  others.Another difficulty is carrying big perfume bottles when you are in vacation,where there is a chance of perfume bottle getting broken and making yours as well as your companions dress soaked in feminine frangance :p (In my case,my husband's ;)). These all made me crave for a solid perfume.

There is a Winter sale going in L'occitane which i alerted before. I used the chance and got two solid perfumes from L'occitane -The Vert-Green Tea and Fleur Cherie Heart Shape Solid Perfume .

They have different variants such as Delice Des Fleurs,Fleur Cherie,Cherrie Blossom,Rose4 Reines,Green tree with Jasmine etc
You can check here


Now coming to the The Vert-Green Tea, we can see what Loccitane telling?
Applied directly on the skin, this solid perfume develops and diffuses its voluptuous scent all day long.

Price:600 INR for 10ml
    In sales i got 10ml for 420 INR.

Now my experience:
Loved the portable small round tin packaging.Very useful to carry around as it won't take much space in purse.

As you can see perfume is waxy in texture but light weight and can get easily absorbed to skin

Easy to use even in public places,just open the tin and dab on. Also I like the fact as soon as you apply it to skin ,it diffuses in to skin leaving no cast or sticky feeling. 


It is a sweet yet not too sweet fresh kinda smell,some where near to Elizabethbth Arden's Green Tea,but not exactly.And one thing it doe snot smell like the green tea we  use to drink at all.Ok, enough rambling  :p. It is a kind of mild pleasant smell good for day time.

Staying power is 2-3 hours. But as reapplication is easy it is not a big problem for me.

So what i liked? :
a) It does not contain alchohol at all.
b) Easy to carry around and apply.
c) Mild pleasant smell.
d) Ideal for working woman.
e) Doesnot leave back any cast or sticky feeling.
f) Pocket friendly.

What i don't like?
a) Staying power only 2-3 hour.

So what you guys think about the concept solid perfume? :)
