As anyone tried their products? I ordered a few on The Shopping Channel and I have to say that even though the quality of the products is very good... some of their scents are gross (to me)!
I loooove the Olivarium and the Sea Kelp lines... but the Pink Peony and the Honey scents? Yuk! I threw them out!
Anyone else tried them? |

| I must be one of the few people in the world who likes Perlier Peony, but only the hand cream. It is different from all the other Perlier ones--I had to throw away the Kiwi and the Almond as they smelled terrible and turned rancid almost immediately and were not the same formula, but the Peony one keeps my aging hands so soft it's really incredible. However, everyone I have tried to give some to can't take the overbearing smell. Me, I just look at the picture of the peony, see peony and love it! Anyone else out there ever tried it? |

| I liked the Kiwi and the Honey hand creams. I couldn't stand the honey body wash. I tossed that one. |

| For me it seems like all the Perlier lines are artificially fragranced. Yeah, the almond line may have tiny amounts of almond oil, and the kiwi line may have tiny amounts of kiwi etc. but all have them have fragrance and the ingredients of the different lines are almost exactly the same. |

I could not stand the peony smell either. I had a set of hand creams that included one and I had to use it as a foot cream since my feet are the farthest away from my nose.
gross, I just can't imagin anyone actually likes this scent. |

They make it look so tempting to buy on TSC. I wanted to purchase it, but I find it difficult to buy fragrances I can't smell. At least now I know which ones are good and the ones to definitely avoid.  |

| I didn't like the honey scent either. The white almond is ok. Has anyone tried the rice products and what do you think of the scent? Thanks. |

The rice products are actually nice. The scent is very light. They say it's good for sensitive skin. |

I bought an ensemble of 8 X 1oz body creams in different smells. It gave me the opportunity to try them out without spending a fortune. I wish I had a "Scratch and Smell" television set.  |

I see this on HSN sometimes, and am never all that tempted. Some of the stuff sounds nice, but the guy that is selling the stuff always seems like a snake oil salesman.
I stick to the Philosophy shows on QVC. |

I agree the Perlier rep on TSC is a scream...she is so entertaining. The products however are disappointing.
I have tried the Olive, Sea Kelp and Almond body wash, body lotion & hand cream...they are just "okay" quality wise, so I feel they are very overpriced!  |

I like the Shea Butter line, which is actually Elariia (a spin-oof of Perlier). I also love their new face products made with "Black Rice Peptides". The eye cream mentioned above is one of these, and it is truly amazing.
