I have reviewed products from Perlier in the past and have had positive experiences with their products. Recently I received the Perlier Shea Butter White Lily Hand Cream from the iFabbo shop and before trying it – I knew I would be pretty excited.
iFabbo Shop Purchase – PR Sample
The Perlier Shea Butter White Lily Hand Cream (6.7 fl. oz) is about $24 on HSN. Formulated with 100% organic shea butter and extracts of white lily which are soothing and emollient to the skin while maintaining the skin’s appearance by helping optimize elasticity and firmness.
I was quite excited to test out this product, but when the mail man delivered it – I was a bit worried I wouldn’t like the product. If you have been reading my blog a while, then you know that I’m pretty sensitive to scents and this scent was permeating through the shipping bag. It wasn’t necessarily a bad scent, but definitely strong and not a scent I was very excited about. I am not fond of strong perfume like scents that smell like flowers (I am a sugary scent person) and immediately after opening the package, I knew that I would struggle with this product. I attempted to put it on my hands and while I loved how moisturized my hands felt after application and how long my hands stayed moisturized, the smell lingered and I sneezed most of the day leaving me with a headache. Don’t get me wrong – the smell is nice to those who are into floral scents , but it’s really strong and lasts. Trying this product on my hands was not an easy task after the first time using the product, so I decided I would use it on my feet. The smell is not easily detected when used on my feet and my feet were left moisturized and soft. Since I use flip flops all year round and mostly during the summer months, the last several weeks this product has been a great addition to my pedicures and even more so at night before bed, I’ll put it on after my shower and then put on a pair of socks and the next morning my feet are soft and beach ready.
The lotion is very thick which I love for lathering on the dry areas of the body. This lotion is the perfect treatment for dry and aged skin. It helps fight free radicals and protect against environmental aggressors. While I would love to use this on my elbows (the area that gets dry often), it has posed a bit of a challenge because of the scent, so I apply out doors and usually will use while I’m out and about so I’m not smelling the scent as strongly as if I’m at home.

Overall – I think this product is definitely great for dry skin and it works. I am not fond of the scent at all – but if Perlier were to come out with a sugar scented lotion or a non-scented one, I will surely be all over it because the moisturizing capabilities of this product is awesome.

You had me at Shea Butter. I want this.
I had the same exact experience! I’m loving it so much I want to buy a different scent because this lily is killing my head with migraines but the formula is amazing!
Omigosh – wasn’t it just a headache. I am just not a floral scent person. The formula is definitely amazing.
Everything I’ve tried from Perlier is awesome.. except for the scent. The honey body butter is nauseatingly heavy on the honey smell. If they’d just tone it back some, I’d love it!
I wanted to try the honey butter but I wasn’t quick on the draw. I love honey scent, I may have liked that one. But you’re right – the scents are super strong.
I’ve been loving this, the scent doesn’t really effect me!
Anytime I get something from Perlier I give it to my mom because it helps her so much
I usually love Perlier products, but i think I’d have a hard time with this floral too
I think you and I prefer the same type of scents 🙂 Sweet is definitely better than floral
Hmmm not sure I’d like the scent!
i love this hand cream! i love this scent too!
I got this in my Birchbox and loved it. My mom said the scent was gagworthy lol. I really like it though!
I’m actually loving the fragrance, it’s like a mix of grassy and floral notes 🙂
Cant wait to try this hand cream. My hand needs TLC!
you will love it. I just wish the scent wasn’t so crazy for me… because I do love it.
I don’t think I could tolerate the fragrance
I LOVE thick lotions!
Great idea using this on your feet since the scent was too strong for you. I’ll have to try that next time instead of just giving away lotions!
Sounds like it works great, but I have an aversion to strong scents. 🙁
Hmm I have an aversion to scent, so I dunno how this would be for me.
I loved this but the scent was WAY too strong. Big time deal breaker.
It sounds like a goof cream, too bad the scent is too strong.
yes, it’s a great cream but that scent… oi
same here, I had to go perfume less if I use this and with the heat so drastic lately – it really intensifies the scent
