L'Occitane Rose Aurore Body Milk Review

I was gifted this by a friend and how lucky was I. The first thing that struck me about this product was the packaging. It is beautiful and it just screams "Use me!" at you. The next thing was the scent. This moisturizer smells amazing and has a very nice smooth but not too runny texture. My skin loved this and soaked it right up without leaving an oily film to the touch.

I also received this as a gift. I just jumped out of the shower and put a little on my face and smelt it. I then had a look at the back and it said do not use on the face - whoops. I did not experience a bad reaction thankfully. My bottle is packaged similar to the one in the photo but not quite the same I think it must be because it is quite possible it is one intended for distribution to another country. Mine is also a 75ml not a 250 it has a gold screw off / on lid but a little flip top lid on top of that so this is ideal for portion ratios. The packaging is plastic I like the pink and gold theme but it has been seen by me from another brand. The scent is very nice. Old fashioned roses and seems fairly strong when you initially put it on then it calms down I do like it. This is an ideal cream for hands to have in your purse to re fresh and some people may associate roses as an old lady smell but for me it is so nice. Classic and feminine. This is made in France. I have not used anything from this brand before that I can remember but I had a feeling it was a high end one and seeing the price for the 250ml above confirms it. This is a nice little luxury. This product is not thick like a cream balm or butter more like a lotion but not as runny as milk. If I wanted to I would consider re purchasing if I was not on a budget. If you like rose scents this could be for you. It makes a nice gift. I am not sure it leaves my skin looking "radiant" that is a bit of an overstatement but it is a nice lightweight lotion leaving the skin nice and soft.

I received this as a gift and found it so decadent!! As a milk, I don't find this as hydrating as a lot of other products but it is beautiful to layer along side other similar scents after a shower or bath. I am not sure that I would purchase this for myself as it is quite a costly item and I have quite dry skin, where this would be more for scent over hydration. It is a beautiful gift to receive, beautiful packaging with a heavenly scent.
