Secret # 34 Laura Mercier’s Almond Coconut Milk Souffle body creme

I haven’t been excited about fragrances for quite some time. When I was in Junior High School I wore Cacharel jeans and Anais Anais perfume. Which naturally led me to read the erotic writing of Anais Nin. When I was in High School, my Aunt Julie bought me my first Jean Nate After bath splash Mist. Then in College, I purchased my first bottle of Fracas. That was my signature scent until I was 25. My sister is more of a mixologist with her favorite Chanel perfumes. My Mother has been a devout fan of Shalimar since I was a little girl. Over a year ago, I walked into Blue Mercury which is a less overwhelming Sephoraesque boutique carrying high end beauty products and I was introduced to a body cream that I am officially obsessed with. It is luxurious and delicious and every single day I lather it all over my arms, neck , decollete, tummy and if I have time, my entire lower torso. The smell is intoxicating, sexy and absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling like satin sheets. I have random men and women, taxi drivers, dental hygienists, people in elevators and waiting rooms asking me for the name of my perfume. I have never had anyone say they didn’t like it. Ms Mercier has developed an exceptional product that moisturizes and tantalizes. The body souffle is a little pricey, but I’m worth it and so are YOU!
