If I didn't have to worry about money, I would probably buy tubs and tubs of this body lotion. First of all I like the actual texture and consistency of the lotion. I guess I call it a lotion because it is still rather liquid, as opposed to a balm or a cream for example. It smooths on the skin nicely, however it doesn't sink in until you rub it in. Even that requires a bit of work, but I enjoy doing that as it's sort of like a get-to-know-and-connect-with-your-body time. The boyfriend likes using this as a massage lotion because of its consistency (it hangs around long enough to be rubbed in for a massage).
Then there is the performance of the lotion. It is so hydrating. I have pretty normal skin, but my legs, arms and back especially need to be moisturised after every shower, otherwise it gets really uncomfortable. This soothes my skin sooooooooo nicely, I love it. And it puts a great big smile on my face as I feel so pampered after that.
Of course there is also the smell, what a wonderful energizing citrus smell, I like to use it if I have to go out for work, or generally to stay awake.
It is expensive as it sells for AUD$99 for a 500ml bottle, but it definitely is one of the best body lotions I've used, hence if I had plenty of money I'd buy plenty of this!

has nice citrus scent,it feels very silky and soaks in straight away! it is quite expensive though and i cant' find it locally. however, very nice, nice balm for dry skin.

The smell and texture of this Body Balm are delicious and very pleasant, quite subtle and non greasy. I have been using this product for 10 years and I will still use for the years to come!

This lotion would be perfect. If it was one third the price.

This is expensive but it's also gorgeous. It's light yet very moisturising, and the scent is amazing, a true citrus scent. Delicious. UPDATE: I still think this is great, but I don't think it is quite moisturising enough for me in the winter, plus it is really expensive.

I was fortunate to get several generous sized sample jars of this when I recently vacationed in Japan and stayed at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Tokyo. All of the bath products in the hotel bathroom were from this particular brand. Anyway, this was my most favorite of all of them. I absolutely adore the scent. The scent is not soo sweet that it will give you a headache. In fact, it is very subtle...almost too subtle. I wish the scent would last longer than it does because it fades rather quickly. It is very emollient without being greasy. Despite how much I do love this body balm, I wouldn't purchase once I finish my samples up. Right now I am a poor college student and this lotion just cost WAY too much. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a high quality lotion and who doesn't care about the expensive price tag.

This one is the third Aesop product I tried, and the third one I end up using for good. Who couldn't love the bitter orange scent - all other citrusy scent goes to waste when compared to this! It's moisturising yet not icky, unlike the DJs half-litre elastin moisturiser jar I took home with me last year. The packaging used to be bad (I started using this when it was sold ONLY in those amber jars), but it's getting better nowadays: half-litre pump bottle and 50mL bottle if you buy the Jet Set pack (I got mine for free :)) )
It's reasonably affordable in Australia (AUD100 for a half-litre pump bottle with lots goodies thrown in by the generous SAs), and I usually get mine from the QV store as I know the SAs who work in those stores for a long time (mind you I started using Aesop since I was in high school). I was shocked too when I saw how much it retails from hqhair.com... 24 pounds!! I better get my sister to bring me litres of these before I move to London... or else it'd be way too expensive to purchase. Girls in Europe, I do suggest you find someone who's coming to your place from Australia to stock up on the moisturiser, as it's lovely.
If you do need heavier moisturiser, I think Relax will do it for you (I just feel Rejuvenate isn't doing what it needs to be doing). Unfortunately, Relax is more expensive (about AUD39 a jar) and comes only in the amber jar packaging... sigh... I keep mine in the fridge.

I love this stuff - it smells divine, sinks in quickly and is just generally fabulous. Only downside (and this is a major one) is the price - £20 for a small jar? Ouch. Still, unless I can find something to replace it, I probably would shell out for another jar...

This body balm smells just divine - love the sweet orangy smell and will definitely repurchase! AUD99 for 500 mL.

I received samples of this from a swap and LOVE it. The scent is perfect and the lotion absorbed quickly. However, it seems that this is quite expensive here in the States and frankly, I'm not sure where this is even sold. Hmmm...

I love this luxurious body cream! The only reason I did not give it 5 lippies is its outrageous price here in Europe.

I love this roduct. I love citrus so this is the balm for me. Made my skin feel like silk and soaks in straight away! The only gripe I have is with the packaging. It looks cute but is hard to get the stuff out of. I am going to buy the dispenser bottle next time!!

This is a very nice body cream for dry skin. Very moisturising without and sinks in quickly. Smells lovely too. BUT in the UK its very expensive and the jar has just got smaller (also would prefer a pump dispenser).

I looovvvee this. I am a recent Aesop convert and i love everything in the range so far. Lovely packaging (A cute glass jar) and a good price. As with all Aesop products it is actually quite a affordable product over here in Australia. I want to get all the other scents too now!

This is a gorgeous, orange-scented, thick and luxurious body cream. I'm not a penny pincher, but this is way overpriced. I'm not sure it's worth the $$$$.

Well living in Australia, Aesop is quite affordable actually.. so I wouldnt say this product is expensive at all.. however it didn't do much for my skin which tends towards dry during the winter months. It feels way to greasy and I cant stand the scent either.

I was not all that impressed with this balm, maybe it's just too light for me. Cute package, but no bang for your buck! The smell is ok, but I guess I'm looking for more than just a fragrance when it comes to a $40 body product. I did not find it to improve my skin's texture, even temporarily. At least it didn't break me out! I love other Aesop products so I expected alot more from this one! Foo.
