My friends know that I'm somewhat obsessed with perfume. I've got a different bottle for every mood (even if they all manage to be gourmand scents) and it's something I take pride in.
I'm known for always having at least three different perfumes on my person at any given time, my signature scent is a £230 bottle from Parfum de Marly that only comes in a 75ml size, so I truly didn't think I could be persuaded to ditch it for anything.
When I got my hands on Coco & Eve's Body Moisture Whip, which is available on the Coco and Eve website as well as Amazon, I didn't have the highest of expectations. But I was absolutely blown away by how people reacted to the scent after making the switch from perfume to the £26 body lotion.

There are two different scents to choose from. You can pick between Tropical Mango, and Lychee & Dragonfruit.
I first tried it out at night and was amazed by how strong the smell was, as I went to sleep I was thrilled to smell like tropical mango. It was sweet without feeling sticky or smelling overpowering.
The thick formula meant that my skin felt nourished from a small amount - which is quite the feat since I have very dry skin. My skin can be quite temperamental with scented products but this left my skin feeling great with absolutely no irritation.
The next day I gave the Lychee & Dragonfruit a go and I couldn't believe how delicious I smelled. I didn't feel like I needed to wear any perfume, instead making sure I'd moisturised from neck to toe. I was left with soft skin and smelling so good I got a lot of compliments throughout the day.
Everyone who got close enough to hug me couldn't help but point out how great I smelled and I constantly got whiffs of the fruity scent throughout the day. My younger sister even asked if I could share so she could smell as good as me.
It packs such a punch and is great value for money with how little you need to coat your entire body. I've tried many scented moisturisers over the years but I'd say the only thing that comes close is Palmer's cocoa butter - although it's far less fruity.
Even a stranger stopped me and asked what I'd sprayed as I passed her, when I explained it was a body lotion and I wasn't wearing any perfume she couldn't believe it.
I'll definitely be opting for this and leaving my perfume at home in future, I can't get enough of it. There's even a matching body scrub which is ideal for shaving days and keeping skin bump free.
