This is a very light cream, frankly, I can't see why they don't bottle it since it's not of a viscous nature! It soaks in immediately after application, leaving silkiness and a very light cakey and sweet vanilla fragrance behind. Think white Easter cake (or was that only my family who had a lamb shaped cake pan for the occasion?) or wedding cake after you've scraped off the cement-like buttercream. ETA: After having this for a few months, the lovely vanilla-frosted cake smell has gotten stronger. Rock on!
