TOTD 090508: creams or lotions?

[Guest guest]

Going with the idea that the couture features a perfume and attendant

lotions/creams, meant to smell similarly, a perfumer should also make

these items. Part of the idea is that a person might be able to

afford a lotion where they might not have the money for a perfume;

this lets them get in for cheaper and if they really like what they

get, they'll return to buy more items in the line, including

eventually the perfume.

Do you sell or make items meant to accompany your perfumes, such as

lotions, creams, powders, etc.? The women in my life tell me ladies

today want a lotion rather than a cream because cleansing,

moisturizing, etc. creams remind them of the older generation. How do

you feel about lotions as compared to creams? Would you want the

cleanser to be a cream and the moisturizer a lotion, or vice versa?

Both as lotions? Both as creams?
