I bought this along with the matching body wash & hand soap. The scent is very nice. Lime scents usually smell very sweet to me, which I don't like, but this is very fresh & herbal. I have no idea what coriander smells like on its own, but it pairs really well with lime! Used daily, this lasted about six weeks.

This is from the new (April) Village Perfumer line. From the COB website:


No. 1536 Body Lotion: Olive and Borage Oil 1.4%, Aloe Vera Concentrate 0.5%. This silky, moisturizing body lotion provides lightweight moisture while conditioning the skin. Formulated to soften and replenish skin with moisturizing olive and borage oils and soothing aloe vera for super healthy skin, day after day. Fragranced with a fresh citrus burst of effervescent lime and exotic coriander leaves. Softens and replenishes skin. Silky, lightweight texture. Not tested on animals.


I am loving this lotion for summer! Rich yet light weight, it glides on skin with a lot of slip, but not in a slimey way. It feels so luxurious going on and feels like its nourishing your skin the second it touches it. I'm addicted to the way it feels when I'm putting it on! Soaks in completely in about 5-10 minutes, leaving a semi-matte finish with no greasiness or stickiness left behind, which surprised me 'cuz the 2nd ingredient is Glycerin and that usually leaves me sticky. BUT...if you put too much on, it is definitely sticky. One pump per body part is all you need. Clothes don't stick to me at all and no staining. Makes my skin look healthy and feel so moisturized all day. The scent is killer...tart lime with a touch of coriander thats smooth and soft, not sharp or overwhelming. Mixes beautifully with summery lime-based scents, but the scent fades after a couple of hours. I love to wear it with Kiehl's Coriander Essence or Arrogance Lime MIx. Comes in a 10oz ($14) pump apothecary type clear plastic bottle that looks cute sitting on my counter. Also comes in Rosemary Mint, Coconut, Grapefruit, Lavender, and Wild Berry. They also have matching body washes in the same flavors. Available at BBW or bigelowchemists.com
