PRODUCT PROFILE
Product- luxflowerdew body splash
FLOWER DUE : spray all over your body and fill your senses with a fragrant lift.
Product Classification:
Tangible
Non durable good
Lux body splash fall into the category of convenience good –(The consumer purchases such
goods frequently, immediately and with a minimum of effort. )
LUX falls under the category of toiletry product as a body splash
greatest appeal of a body splash is its fragrance. Among the most popular of after-bath
delights, body splashes are both deliciously fragrant and good for the skin. It makes sense
then that women gladly spend thousands of dollars every year on these pampering
sprays.Splashes are meant to be applied to the entire body after bathing and provide a
subtle hint of scent. For those of us who cannot tolerate either strong perfumes or their
price, body splash is an appealing alternative. There is also a small amount of alcohol in
body splash, which helps to preserve fragrance and has a mildly astringent effect on the
skin.

begins with Lux. " Flower due bodysplashis an anti-persparant,styling feminine body
splash. The productis designed around a logo that utilises custom designed typography to
give it a distinctive and recognisable look – its complimenting packaging and striking short,
block lettering exemplified there on setting it apart from the generic competitor. It contains
silk proteins to leave skin silky smooth. Each time you spray it leaves smoothing
ingredients behind on your skin to help condition it. This product smells heavenly. When
you spray it on it feels a bit heavier than the regular body splashes. It's like using a spray
lotion without needing to rub it into the skin. The scent lasts much longer.
