The year-end festive interval is a love-it or hate-it time for a lot of.
On the one hand, who doesn’t love winding down with the 12 months, as folks decelerate, take day without work to spend with family members, benefit from the college holidays with their children, and revel within the Christmas and New 12 months festivities.

However, simply consider the stress all that brings! LOL! 😀
Nicely, Laura Mercier has a couple of Vacation releases to create slightly oasis of calm and encourage that little little bit of me-time, that will help you deal with the stress of the year-end holidays and festivities 🙂
Laura Mercier Ambre Vanillé Luxe Physique Assortment – RM290 | £70
There’s something decadent about gourmand scents, particularly throughout this festive time of 12 months. Whereas I personally discover them slightly wealthy in our sizzling climate, it’s really fairly a homey, heat, comforting scent when the climate turns chilly, or when worn in a cool room.
It’s this that Laura Mercier banks on with their sweetly gourmand Ambre Vanillé scent. After Creme Brulee, this one’s fairly a Laura Mercier basic! 🙂
The scent is unmistakably candy and gourmand, bringing to thoughts a candy vanilla dessert dusted with brown sugar. It makes me consider the brown sugar boba milk teas that’s now so fashionable.
By the way, I popped my brown sugar boba milk tea cherry simply yesterday, and I’ve to say that it isn’t fairly my cup of … effectively… tea! LOL 😛 I discover it too candy and sickly a drink to take pleasure in, even when the tapioca pearls have been fairly comfortable and chewy.
However the Ambre Vanillé Gourmand scent jogs my memory of this. The nice and cozy amber notes heat and floor the candy vanilla and brown sugar base. It’s a scent for somebody who enjoys candy fragrances.

In chilly climate, I count on it to be pretty and warming. It’s a scent that makes you consider heat kitchens and laughter. However when the climate is sizzling and sticky as it’s right here, I wrestle to take pleasure in it. Maybe, in a chilly air-conditioned room. However not in any other case.
What you get within the Ambre Vanillé is a beautiful and good sized number of the next objects, all scented with the unmistakable scent of Ambre Vanillé:
- Ambre Vanillé Honey Bathtub – 200ml
- Ambre Vanillé Souffle Physique Creme – 200ml
- Ambre Vanillé Creme Physique Wash – 100ml
- Ambre Vanillé Eau Gourmande Eau de Toilette – 15ml
It truly is one for somebody who actually loves this scent, or who loves gourmand scents of desserts and candy, wealthy scents. If I have been gifted with this, I do know I might wrestle 😛
However I personally may see myself having fun with the Ambre Vanillé Honey Bathtub or Creme Physique Wash.
The Ambre Vanillé Honey Bathtub is kind of attention-grabbing. If maybe, you fairly benefit from the occasional scent of ?Ambre Vanillé however don’t actually wish to decide to carrying a fragrance that lasts for hours in your pores and skin, this is likely to be one to contemplate.
The Ambre Vanillé Honey Bathtub is a beautiful lush and opulent bathe creme that’s scented with the candy, thick scent of amber and vanilla. It feels such as you’re bathing in a dessert. It smells that lush!
The product is available in a jar, and to be honest, generally is a little treacherous to scoop out, as the feel is viscous. It’s, for all intents and functions, similar to runny honey in a bath. So, ensure you choose it out with dry arms, and the accompanying honey dipper earlier than your bathe. It lathers up very simply into thick, pillowy bubbles and makes each tub or bathe time a deal with!
Be warned that your bathe will scent such as you’ve been baking up a storm. However is that basically a nasty factor? 😀
The scent does linger slightly on the pores and skin, however not as strongly as that of the fragrance, so I do discover it extra palatable.
