Ode to an Empty: Mitchell & Peach — English Leaf Body Soufflé

 Mitchell & Peach — English Leaf Body Soufflé

A product I didn’t expect to love… and then absolutely did.

I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating: I truly didn’t think I would like Mitchell & Peach’s English Leaf Body Soufflé. The scent hits you hard at first — sharp, green, almost aggressively herbal. But the texture of the cream was so good that I kept using it anyway. And somewhere along the way, something shifted. The intensity softened, the basil mellowed, and suddenly it worked beautifully with my chemistry. That surprise is what made me fall for it.


1. Did I use this?

Absolutely. I squeezed out every last drop.

2. Was it a good amount?

It lasted two full months, which felt perfect for something I was using constantly. And honestly, considering how often I end up tossing half‑empty skincare bottles, finishing this one felt like a small personal victory. I didn’t need it to last longer — it lived exactly the right lifespan.

3. Did I enjoy it?

I adored it. I didn’t just like the scent; I craved it. It became part of my daily scent architecture, something I needed woven into whatever else I was wearing. The cream melted into my skin beautifully, and the softness it left behind was something I savored every time.

4. Did it live up to my expectations?

This one took me on a journey. When I first learned I was getting it, I was excited. When I actually smelled it, that excitement dipped hard. But once I let it settle and interact with my skin, the excitement came back — stronger, even. It was a whole little drama, and honestly, that’s part of what made me love it.

5. Would I repurchase?

Yes. The way this cream changed how my body layered other scents was unique and special. I’m going to miss that effect, and it’s not something I can easily replace. With something this distinctive, it’s hard to walk away.
