 mark Self Sanctuary Lemon Sugar Scent

I love the scent of lemon in all its forms, especially as a body fragrance. I received mark's Self Sanctuary Lemon Sugar Scent as a sample, from the first minute I tried it I wanted more.

mark, part of the Avon company, has a body fragrance line called Self Sanctuary where the products are based on bold fruity and floral notes like berry, chocolate, lime, orchid, jasmine and lemon. The line includes a Scent Mist, a deeply hydrating Body Butter, a pearly Shower Wash and a light Moisture Milk.

They've managed to get the sweet and tart balance just right as Lemon Sugar is both juicy & zesty and softly sweet at the same time. I find the scent lasts longest when layered,  Beginning with the deliciously pearly Shower Wash. It makes an abundance of lemony lather that helps gently cleanse, soften and scent skin. Follow with either the super ultra rich Body Butter or the light moisture Milk. Either will do a good job of adding moisture to the skin while it softly scents you all over. Lastly, I add a few spritzes of the Scent Mist to top it off; it really enhances my mood and makes me feel uplifted and refreshed every time.  

When I wear this fragrance I always get comments and compliments on it. It's an attractive fragrance that's not cloying or annoying, it doesn't enter a room before you do. My one disappointment is that the Scent Mist doesn't last as long as I'd like when worn alone so I'll have to give it an overall rating of 4 stars, otherwise this is a light yet zesty scent that is best for casual wearing. All are reasonably priced as well.

This is a good one, like I said in the review, it's zesty and sweet but it's not an icky sweet, at least not to me. The body butter is quite rich and helps the spray last longer. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water lol.
