The Cream Perfume Company: Review & Giveaway, 2 Winners, CLOSED

CONTEST CLOSED!
I love perfume. I do. I can recall quite clearly that the very first perfume I wore was called Primrose! I can still close my eyes and smell the light, summery fragrance.

In my 20s and 30s, it was Rive Gauche and Red that powered my "dress up" days. :) Fond memories!

So, it was with great pleasure and anticipation that I awaited the arrival of my samples from The Cream Perfume Company!

When it came, I was ecstatic to see the lovely fragrances that I'd been sent -- three Body Moisturizers and two Nuts Cream Perfumes.

After using the products for several days, I can tell you that they are simply amazing.
The fragrances are subtle yet lingering. A little goes a long way but these scents are not over-powering.
If you're like me, you want your perfume to be noticed but you don't want to trigger a sinus / asthma attack or have someone keel over because they can't breath.


These fragrances won't ever cause a reaction like that! Soft. That's the word that comes to mind. Soft, delicate fragrance that moves with you throughout the day. I love it.

I must say that these cream perfumes are also very soothing -- not only for the skin but for the psyche as well. Yes, it IS a form of Aromatherapy. I put on the Lavender Ecume after my shower, snuggled down in the recliner and let the sweet fragrance sweep me away. Very relaxing, indeed.

The Cream Perfume Company offers 100% Healthy, natural and organic ingredients. No harsh chemicals, no animal testing. Effective and safe, only Premium French-Made Perfumes from the Fragrance Capital of the World, Grasse.

Jasmine Floriental



A truly exotic perfume with opening notes of Bergamot Italy, lavender & coriander followed by rose turkie, jasmine, iris, cedarwood & patchouly indonesia.
Closes with a warm & spicy blend of vetiver, civette, oak moss, musk, sandlewood and benjoin.

Mango poudré


Truly seductive scents of mango and cassis balanced with timeless jasmin and candy sugar accord. A tropical favorite with sandalwood, musk and vanilla.

Travel Size Coconut Vanille Lotion


Premium and naturally derived oils and extracts from nature combined with premium French certified organic essential oils to combat dehydrated, sore, inflamed and damaged skin.

Lavender Body Moisturizer
Premium and naturally derived oils and extracts from nature combined with premium French certified organic essential oils to combat dehydrated, sore, inflamed and damaged skin.

Rose Body Moisturizer


Premium and naturally derived oils and extracts from nature combined with premium French certified organic essential oils to combat dehydrated, sore, inflamed and damaged skin.
