The latest slimming aid comes in the form of a perfume bottle as Prends-moi is the world’s first slimming fragrance from Velds that has been developed at the French perfume house Robertet.

Makers claim the fragrance is designed to “slim with pleasure” and is based on “aromatherapeutic” and “neurocosmetic” research.

Prends-moi contains ingredients which release B-endorphins present in the skin and a “pleasure message” is transmitted through the brain triggering a sensation of well being and an increase in contentment reducing the need to overeat.

A “Slimming Complex” formulated with caffeine, carnitine and spirulina extract activates the two key enzymes directly involved in lipolysis (fat degradation).

A trial study by BIO-EC of women aged between 18 and 70 years of age, who were not on a diet, found that 75% felt the perfume limited the need to snack and 73% felt a feeling of pleasure.

Generously spritz in the morning, as you would do with any perfume, and throughout the day when the need for snacking arises.

Further results can be achieved by very lightly massaging into targeted areas, morning and night to help sculpt and slim the contours of the body.

As for the smell, there are top notes, with lively accents of bergamot, mandarin and grapefruit.

With a low alcohol content, Prends-moi is perfect for those who love summer all year long.

But unfortunately you will have to join a fast-forming queue of over 6,000 eager customers who are desperate to get their hands on the bottles.
