“What a throwback to old world beauty and glamour this is! The first thing that struck me was that this cream was in a tall sturdy jar (plastic not glass) with the lovely gold lettering. I found this thick rich cream perfect for my very dry skin but not too greasy to use during the day. This also made a nice hand cream and foot cream for my dry skin. It is significantly perfumed like most French lines (floral/fresh mix) and decadent in price, but oh what a lovely way to keep skin soft and supple!

Because of the packaging this is best for leaving on a vanity or larger open space in your bathroom. It really made me feel glamorous and decadent when using it after my shower. As for the performance I was very impressed. I didn’t get any of my usual dry patches when using this. The cream is very concentrated and silky so it spreads easily and a little goes a long way. This is a new winter time must have for my body skin care routine.

P.S. This crème is for very dry, dehydrated skin. For slightly dry skin try the lotion version of Hydrofilia, (which is also perfumed). (via Palacinka)
