Spanish term or phrase:
Placer a flor de piel
English translation:
Sweet Pleasure of the Skin
Spanish term
Placer a flor de piel
This is a slogan used to advertise a brand of limoncello (lemon liqueur). It emphasises the fact that the flavour and aromas of the drink come from the lemon peel used in the manufacturing process.
I can't put my finger on the exact sense of this slogan, though... any ideas?

I suggest that this "translation" actually calls for copywriting from scratch, and although my suggestion is lame, it might inspire someone more poetic to come up with the right word.

: agree with your comments. The French have an equivalent expression 'à fleur de peau' to denote heightened sensual awareness. Is this the right track here ?

It would certainly be a snap if a translation into French were wanted. I like your take on it.

Margaret Schroeder
: I like it, maybe we can get "lemony" into it, or is that too prosaic?

El juego es con la piel del limón y con la expresión a flor de piel, que significaría "sensual".
No se me ocurre nada en inglés.
