Butter Me Up Like a Butterball: KORRES Basil Lemon Body Butter

The holiday season sees a lot of brands predictably putting out sickly sweet smelling lotions and body creams scented after our favourite holiday desserts and indulgences. Don't get me wrong, I have a soft spot for those sweet smells just like the next girl, but sometimes you want something fresh. Something that will give people pause and will cut through the haze of gingerbread, eggnog, chocolate, apple cider, and vanilla. 

That something should be KORRES Basil Lemon Body Butter. The smell is fresh, zesty with a hint of sweet basil to round it off. If others can be inspired by holiday desserts, then why can't you be inspired by holiday poultry...just kidding. This smells nothing like poultry. In fact, forget I even said that. 

So what does it really remind me of? Lemon trees growing amidst an herb garden. There is nothing artificial or chemical about KORRES Body Butters as the scents are taken directly from nature which optimizes their ability to deliver moisture without dangerous chemicals or scent enhancers. The top notes awaken the senses yet settle to a luxurious and subtly sensual haze that sifts through the air with each of your gestures or embraces. 

KORRES body butters are more than just an olfactory experience-they are smoothing and moisturizing and will attack all of those winter dry spots on your elbows, knees, hands, and feet. Shea butter and Quince extract have softening, moisturizing, and rejuvenating properties while the Sunflower, Almond, and Avocado oils nourish the skin, thus helping to improve elasticity and smoothness. 

Not your traditional holiday cream, no; but why not set yourself apart and stand out from the "been there, smelled that" monotony of shower gel gift packages?
