A Review of Revlon's Jean Nate` Line of Fragrances

Vicki Messer
I received my first bottle of Jean Nate` after bath splash along with a bright yellow container of Jean Nate` Silkening Body Powder as a gift at my bridal shower in 1969. Since then, I've been hooked on these fresh-scented after bath products. Jean Nate` is made by the Revlon Company, one of the most trusted names in cosmetics, so you can count on a high quality product.

Jean Nate` has a very fresh, clean scent that isn't heavy or overpowering. The fragrance is very light with a soft citrus scent. The after bath splash can be lavishly splashed on or you can purchase it in a spray mist which allows for a lighter application. The body powder is light, fragrant and so silky soft to the skin. The scent is a mixture of lemon, lavender, rose, jasmine, geranium, musk and a few other subtle scents. The body powder is especially nice in warm weather because it helps keep moist areas of the body dry and sweet smelling.

One of the nicest things I've noticed about Jean Nate` is that I have no allergic reaction to it. Most colognes, perfumes and scented after bath products cause allergic reactions in me, but I have never had any problems with Jean Nate`. I find that I also do better when I use scented lotions instead of sprays, and keep the scents away from my face and nose. I like to apply the product in the bend of the knee, on my back, and the back of my upper arms. This seems to help a lot with any potential allergic reaction that might set off sneezing and watery eyes.

Along with the After Bath Splash and Silkening Body Powder, Jean Nate` also makes a moisturizing body wash, a concentrated cologne and a hydrating body lotion. All products have that same light, fresh, citrus scent.

Jean Nate` products can be purchased at Target, most drugstores and discount stores, and can be found online at Amazon.com and drugstore.com and is very modestly priced. You can also compare prices and shipping charges on NexTag.com.
