Received this in swap and I absolutely love! I took a lippie off for packaging - but its probably not fair as getting this consistency in a tube or bottle form wouldn't work.
I love grapefruit and ginger - my 2 favorite food smells (well cinnamon too) and I love Origins products so I am in heaven. I place on my nightstand and use on my legs before bed...at least that way I can enjoy the product and not lose the enjoyment in some post workout or AM rush.
I used the ginger souffle years ago but gave it up as I went DS for my skin care as it seemed like an unnecessary cost. The price for this is steep and I know I will go through it so quickly even if I am careful to use what I need. It moisturizes well. I used the ginger one when I lived in a dry climate...and it was nice but not moisturizing enough for me. In my new nondry climate it's perfect. Addiction is renewed...once this is finished I just dont know if I should get this or the ginger one...as both are awesome:)

I love this stuff. My daughter in law gave me a bath set for Christmas last year and I have used it almost full time ever since. I think the scent is a refreshing wake up in the winter and a soothing cooler in the middle of summer. I am definitely a citrus lover, would never have believed I could get hooked on a combination of grapefruit and mint. I will definitely purchase again.

Technically I didn't buy it. It came free with my purchase. I like the scent very much. Smells exactly like grapefruit, right down the bitter/sour "aftertaste". BUT..it doesn't moisturizer. And after checking the price of this thing..well you'd expect it to moisturize wouldn't you? I really like applying it to my arms/legs after I shower..or whenever I feel like it ya know?..but it just won't moisturize. It'll feel really emollient for like 5 seconds and then your skin just kind of goes back to being dry and asking for some body lotion. Kind of disappointing but I'm glad I didn't pay for it. Definitely won't be purchasing this ever.

I'm gonna admit that this company has won me over. I will never ever be a Bath and Body Works, or Victoria's Secret customer. Reason being #1 that these products have really helped my skin in the few days I've used them. I'm not kidding. Red spots on my body have cleared up! It's amazing. The smell is so yummy, perfect for the Spring and Summer months that will be soon making their presence known. It doesn't take a lot of this lotion to moisturize into my skin. So, this 7 oz container will LAST me! My DH was concerned about that...he was like, as long as it lasts you awhile, because that's a lot to pay for lotion. The tub it comes in isn't that great. I don't like having to stick my fingers in the tub each and every time, but I will deal with it as it's one minor issue to this amazing lotion. Definitely a HG for me, as I've now got to get this in Ginger as well for the cooler months.

This is getting three lippies from me only because of the scent. I love it, and it makes me smile every time I put it on. I wish it stuck around longer. Moisture-wise I don't think it cuts it for me. I won't be buying this again, because for the price it just doesn't seem to do what I want it to.

When I think 'Souffle', I think light, whipped, airy. This cream has more of a lemon meringue pie texture to it, a bit gelatinous rather than souffle-like. The scent is wonderful--it smells like a grapefruit Sweet Tart! I was afraid it would be too overwhelming and would clash with my perfume, but it settled down in about 15 minutes. It moisturizes well, and kept my skin looking hydrated throughout the day. I'm finding I'm using this up rather quickly, as it takes a lot of product to do the job. A little pricey, but a wonderful scent and the perfect pick-me-up for hot summer days. It would be nice if this came in a pump dispenser or had a scoop--you need to dip into the jar, which can be a bit messy. I'll purchase again, but will scout for sales.

I was lemming this during the holiday season and, lucky me, Santa got my wish list!
The scent of this really is uplifting. The body souffle is very moisturizing without being greasy and the scent has good staying power without being too overpowering.
I also love the shower gel--it's a great pick-me-up in the mornings.

I got this as part of a gift which included a scrub, shower gel, and this souffle. This item was my favorite. The consistency is creamy and also very light, which I love, and it absorbs into the skin nicely. The scent is heavenly! Sometimes I crack open the pot at random moments just to take whiffs. I like to use this on my hands, and alternate between this and German Nivea.

Refreshing! I love this! It smells so fresh and yummy. The texture is soft and absorbs well. The whole room smells wonderful after using this. And the yellow and white packaging gives it a cheerful, bright, get up and go feel to it. I use it together with the shower gel and scrub. Smells so much better than The Body Shop's pink grapefruit.

I love the scent of this product-- it really does lift my mood! I hope Origins expands this line to include scent or essential oils. It's a little bit like their discontinued FretNot line but GloomAway notes mainly grapefruit instead of mandarin.
The souffle isn't for your hands though; it takes awhile to absorb.

I wish this wonderful, creamy, melts-into-the-skin lotion was in a pump...it's so messy in a jar. And I feel rushed to use it before I contaminate it with bacteria. Otherwise, it has a wonderful, light citrus scent and never feels heavy on my skin like a lot of other body 'butters' out there...this is perfect! EDIT: Since I started using this in the beginning of summer, I have had nary a mosquito bite! It's a miracle!!!

I love this scent! I bought it in a delux set. It smells wonderful but the name is so depressing-like.

I love this body creme. It feels whipped and it goes on and spreads easily and you can make it as light or heavy as you'd like depending on how you apply it. The scent is very lovely and the creme is very moisturizing. I'm usually too lazy to put on lotion daily, but because this is so nice I've gotten in the habit of using it post shower daily.

i love this product, but don't much care for the plastic tub. wish it came in a pump bottle as i think that would be a bit neater, and give one better control over the amount used. anyway, it's expensive considering it's just a body cream, but worth the rare splurge just for the heavenly fresh grapefruit scent! i agree with a prior reviewer that most other product lines add things to sweeten the tang of citrus, and i'm glad that origins doesn't succumb. i don't know anything about aromatherapy, but this does make me feel invigorated! light and VERY smooth in texture, absorbs well, and leaves a lingering fresh smell. good for moisturizing in summer, probably not emollient enough for winter use.

I don't think this product is at all worth the price. It felt a little greasy on my skin, and was generally nothing special. I prefer Clinique body scrubs.

I am on my second jar of this stuff. Luckily, my husband remembered that I loved it the first time he bought it for me and he bought it again as a gift. Otherwise I have a very hard time justifying the price! I adore the smell of this, and it is great to put on after taking a shower. It really does take the gloom away!

Just the right amount of moisture and a yummy yummy scent. I also have the spray of this scent and I love it. It smells more like real grapefruit than any other fragrance I have smelled.

I was attracted to this by the yummy grapefruit scent, and was not disappointed by this light fluffy lotion. Suprisingly, this stuff is actually really moisturising, without being heavy and sticky. I love the smell of it, and the way it lingers on the skin.

Okay, it's kind of expensive... but think of it as a NECESSARY splurge. I adore all things grapefruit, so this is a shoo-in for me. The texture is so thick and creamy, you feel so indulgent while slathering it on your fresh-out-of-the-shower skin. I love putting this on right before bed... I wake up feeling soft and supple and grapefruit scented!
