Love Smashbox, hate this product. Doesn't last on my eyelids, perhaps due to my almond shaped eyes.

A genius of a fragrance! I never would have dreamed that a rose fragrance would smell so good. Roses are not my favorite be any means and I adore this perfume. I can't believe how much I like it. Would love to try the matching lotions, etc.

Simply a great moisturizer. Light and non-greasy. Great for all seasons, day or night. I never tire of this.

The best cleanser ever. My skin feels great afterward--not dry or tight. Takes off all make up including mascara. Has a nice clean smell and a little goes a long way.

I have purchased this many times. Great product but high $. I now use a drugstore brand to save, but I highly recommend Nick Chavez.

The best hand cream ever! Not the cheapest, but if you can do it, pay the extra $ for this. The scent is so unique and comforting. I have given this as gifts many times. A true classic!

Last forever! I have the large tin and bought it years ago. Barely a dent in it and I use it all the time. Great for lips and cracked winter skin. Very soothing. I love to use before bed so it soften my skin all night.

I'm not a big fan of almond scents but I do like this one. The oil is moisturizing for my skin and I use it with the matching body cream. A bit decadent and luxurious feeling.

I have tried the lotion and bath gel. Scent in lotion did not last and bath gel smelled like plastic. Not worth the high $.

My favorite so far from L'Artisan. Clean and fresh smelling. Nothing offensive or harsh. Would love to have in a lotion or bath gel.

I like this fragrance and rec'd it as a gift. It was right in the height of the whole "fig thing" and it was unique and fresh to me. Now everywhere you look there are fig products so the novelty has worn off. If you like the fig scent, this is nice and light and doesn't over-power.

Too masculine for me. Not pleasant at all. I like some blackberry scented perfumes, but this was not at all what I expected.

I agree with previous posters--plastic smelling and not natural. Product is too watery and pours too fast out of bottle. Not a winner.
