Avant Quintessence Enriching Body Lotion

The emblematic fifth element at Avant is a perfume. Quintessence, this semi-oriental floral amber fragrance, sweet, warm, with an elegant powdery base harmonised with flowers and a spicy note, makes this ‘fragrance to share’ the very essence of sophistication: A modern classic. Its sillage is unforgettable both in its depth and its masterful style. A novel of love, rich writing, an oriental feel, expressing an assertive and sensual self. 

Quintessence has distinctive top notes of Elemi infused with Mandarin, which blends with the zestiness of Orange Blossom to bring a vibrant freshness.

At the heart, the uplifting scent is reminiscent of warm moonlit walks and Mediterranean nights when Jasmine becomes its most potent. This intoxicating and sophisticated scent begins with the heady florals of Jasmine with an unexpected twist of refreshingly sweet Orris and Plum.

As for the base notes, earthy and woody Patchouli and Vanilla, Praline, and White Musk create the perfect foundation for this sultry scent, defining and reaffirming a ‘fragrance-to-share’ suitable for unisex use.

A True Beauty Ritual

Getting the most from your Quintessence Enriching Body Lotion:

1. Start with a coin-sized amount of lotion in your palm and evenly distribute it on targeted parts of your body, starting from your feet up.

2. Repeat as you work by section, applying to legs, torso, and arms.

3. Do not forget to rub lotion into your feet and hands, paying special attention to particularly cracked, dry areas and your knees and elbows. Finally, do not saturate your body with lotion, but start with a small amount and increase as needed.

#AvantTips: Exfoliation is based on the ‘out with the old and in with the new’ concept and will help repair the skin’s moisture barrier. Gently exfoliating your body will not only help make your skin look smoother and feel softer but aims to make your body cream penetrate deeper into the skin.

Always carry out a 24-hour patch test before the first use. Store in a cool and dry place.
