I have been using body lotion from Victoria's Secret for about ten years now and have always raved on the lotion texture. Whenever I tried using other brands (think Body Shop, Crabtree & Evelyn and Lancome) body lotions, I would feel my skin to be really sticky after application. Till date, the VS Secret Garden Collection's body lotion is the one that upon applying on my skin, feels a little moist and eventually smooth.

However, last week, I opened a new bottle of body lotion, also from Secret Garden Collection, but it's a new scent, delicate petals. Well, it's not new to VS but it's new to me as I've never tried this scent. And err, not sure is it the weather of late or what, but my skin feels a little damp and sticky after I apply. And this stickiness lasts throughout the day. So, I have switched to using this bottle of lotion at night and when morning comes, at least my skin doesn't feel too sticky, especially with the aircon blasting on me throughout the night.

Having said that, am not sure is it the texture of the body lotion has changed or what. For a decade, I have always stuck to a few traditional scents, to the likes of 'love spell', 'strawberries & champagne', 'pear glace', 'endless love' and 'pure seduction'. The 2 scents which I do not like are 'amber romance' and 'vanilla lace', not because of their texture but due to their scent. I find 'amber romance' too strong with the smell of sandalwood. As for 'vanilla lace', I find it too errm, vanilla-ish? Oh well, individual preference.

Anyway, after I finished this bottle of 'delicate petals', I shall try a new bottle of the usual scent I use and see if the texture is the same. I sure hope that the quality remains.
