The Roger &Gallet Paris Pink Grapefruit moisturising body lotion looks every bit the charming Parisian beauty product. With its elegant white bottle and graceful,calm enducing pastel coloured design,we’d tend to belive that this moisturiser could work wonders for the skin. It is gently fragranced with pink grapefruit extracts and nourishes skin with shea milk and vitamin E. The ideal body lotion for dehydrated pores. That is,until you open the thing…
A slightly sickly,musty smell hit me when I first tried the moisturiser. I squeezed a dollop into my hands and rubbed into my legs and arms. It’s very smooth but also takes a good few rubs before it fully absorbs. The scent itself can only really be described as pungent;imagine perfume which has sat in the sun and gradually gone off over the course of 6 months. An hour or so later and I could still smell the musky remnants on my skin. I was tempted to get back in the shower and start over again with my Jergens Aloe Vera moisturiser which is much more pleasant. However,it has to be said that it did feel lovely on my legs –they were very smooth afterwards. So,I guess,as long as you avoid putting this lotion too high up on the body you wouldn’t need to smell it at all. Just make sure you wash your hands afterwards.
The Roger &Gallet website doesn’t actually indicate specific product prices,so I did a little of my own research and found that this range is not on the cheaper end of the market. More like the luxuriously gone-off end. For example,the Bois d’Orange Vaporiser Spray I tested recently is being in most pharmacies for around €40 –€44. And the pink grapefruit (pamplemousse rose) moisturiser here mentioned for around €13. Not really on my wish list this Christmas.
