My Experience with Yves Rocher Olive Petitgrain Body Lotion:

The body lotion comes in a small round plastic container with a flip lid. The packaging is very sturdy. The flap lid sometimes gets a little difficult to open as it’s a little tight. It can easily damage the nails. I open mine with my teeth. But the packaging is travel safe since there is no chance that the flap would open up automatically. The bottle is also transparent, making it easy to know the amount of the product left. There is no need to squeeze the bottle hard to get the product out. The product flows out easily since it’s creamy enough. I keep the bottle upside down so that I get most of the product out in the end and there is no wastage. I have used up the Yves Rocher Bourbon Vanilla Body Lotion completely and I managed to get almost every drop of the product out.

The consistency of the product is creamy. It is light cream in color. I use twice the walnut size for my entire body. The lotion spreads very easily on the skin. The skin feels satiny during application. The product leaves the skin extremely soft and silky. The lotion gets absorbed very quickly and does not leave the skin greasy or oily. As a matter of fact, it leaves a soft powdery feel on the skin. The product contains olive extracts and we all know how good olive oil is for the skin. Olive oil nourishes the skin and is suitable for sensitive skin too. The product does not dry out the skin. So I would definitely recommend it to people suffering from dry skin.

Coming to the fragrance, it’s the worst part of the product. I got this product thinking of olives and their goodness. But the fragrance is so awful that I don’t want to use it. But, that is a personal choice. The fragrance is not floral, fresh or herbal. It’s the smell of petitgrain oil. Petitgrain is the fragrance of leaves and twigs of citrus. It’s supposed to be a mix of bitter, floral, spicy, sweet, citrus, woody and warm notes. I just don’t like the smell of it. The fragrance is hard to describe. Make sure you smell it before buying. If you are ordering it online then I suggest you stay away from this product. The fragrance lasts almost a day like other Yves body lotions. The lotion has not caused any kind of irritation to the skin. It is very mild for my dry sensitive skin.

Overall, it’s a very nice product but the smell is unbearable (at least to me). I do not think I will continue using either the shower gel or this body lotion. So, this range is a complete no-no for me.
