I was very disappointed with this product. I bought it online but should have went to the store first because it smells awful. It has this fake floral scent to it that I can't stand. It's suppose to be a luscious body balm but the consistency of it is very thin and watery, not like a body balm at all. I'll be sticking to my Body Shop body butters.

This is a great product. It is brown (really a light tan) in color, but doesn't stain clothing. It's more of a thick lotion in a jar than a true body balm (like, say, AZW's shea butter creams), but it does moisturize quite well. The scent is absolutely divine--it's sort of a sweet, fruity (though not overly sweet or fruity) smell (it reminds me of CSP's Fruits Sauvage, old formula) with an added hint of vanilla and, maybe, candied chestnut? It's very fall/wintery and sort of comforting. Although it doesn't smell like much in the jar, the scent does intensify slightly when subjected to body heat but does not become overpowering. The staying power is good, too. All in all, this is a real winner at $18 for 6.76 oz. (and the jar comes filled to the brim and is sealed with foil--no leaking in transit!). Highly recommended.
