CYKLAR Hydrating Body Cream, 48-Hr Moisture & Non-Greasy - Vanilla Verve

As someone who's pretty obsessed with fragrance, I'm usually picky about scented body products because so many smell synthetic or end up clashing with my perfumes. This one was a pleasant surprise. Vanilla Verve isn't your typical cupcake or sugary vanilla. It has a smooth, creamy vanilla profile with a fresh, slightly airy quality that makes it feel much more refined. It smells cozy without becoming overly gourmand, which makes it incredibly easy to wear on its own or layer with other fragrances. I've paired it with vanilla, amber, sandalwood, and even some spicy perfumes, and it's been a great base that adds a little extra warmth without overpowering the fragrance I'm wearing. Performance wise, the cream is excellent. It's rich enough for dry skin but sinks in quickly, leaving my skin soft and hydrated without feeling greasy. I also appreciate that the scent sticks around for a couple of hours, which isn't always the case with scented body creams. If you're into fragrance layering or you're just looking for a body cream that smells more like a thoughtfully composed fragrance than a generic lotion, this one is absolutely worth checking out. I'll definitely be repurchasing.

I was not expecting to become emotionally attached to a body lotion, but here we are. 😂 This stuff is AMAZING. The Vanilla Verve scent is absolutely delicious—warm, sweet, and cozy without smelling like you raided the baking aisle. I’ve had multiple people ask what perfume I was wearing, and it’s just this lotion! The texture is rich but somehow not greasy at all. It soaks in quickly, leaves my skin ridiculously soft, and keeps it moisturized all day. I have dry skin, and this has made such a difference without feeling heavy or sticky. Bonus points for ingredients like squalane and niacinamide that make my skin feel as good as it smells. If they ever discontinue this, I’ll probably need to start a support group. Five stars without hesitation!

I'm a bodycare junky. Though I usually like thicker body creams, I appreciate this one, because a little goes a long way. It feels very moisturizing without feeling heavy or sticky. It dries down nicely and absorbs fast. The scent is actually really lovely. To my nose, it smells like a slightly peppery vanilla. Once it has sat on the skin for awhile, you get just a gentle whiff of vanilla. I can see this appealing to both women and men. It pairs really well with my vanilla perfumes, too. It is on the pricier side, but for how nice it feels and smells, I had to subscribe and buy the matching body wash.

I have a huge obsession with quality skincare. Being in my early fifties, I love finding products that are nutrient rich. Let me say that this CYKLAR Nutrient Rich body cream is absolutely phenomenal. It's one of those products after using, you decide that is what is called a "Forever Product". The formula is perfect as it smooths over your skin with a lightweight application. This is a non-greasy formula. (Kudos for this). The moisture I apply at the beginning of my day lasts until my evening bath time. Insanely impressed. This lotion choice is called "Vanilla Verve" - the creator did very well in capturing the PERFECT Vanilla scent. I detest certain vanillas that smell like artificial vanilla and alcohol. I can surely attest that this lotion was beautifully created. This is the epitome of full luxurious pampering. AND to have this accessible every day- well that's a win right there. I have now added the body wash and fragrance which layers incredibly. Therefore, based on an absolutely WONDERFUL experience, I would highly encourage any Vanilla lovers to give this a try. You will thank me later. :) Please never discontinue. :)
