If you like a thick hand cream with a pleasant, luxurious scent, this is for you. I'm surprised that others don't care for the scent, as it seems pleasant and not too strong to me, and makes me picture fields of flowers in France. I received it as a gift, and would certainly consider buying some more once I use it all. It seems to last a long time on my skin.

This stuff is AMAZING. My only complaint is the scent. It totally smells like baby powder. I will have to see if they have an unscented variety, or a different scent but with the same shea butter (20%) because it's an excellent hand cream. Glad I got the smaller 1 oz tube because I'm not sure I could put up with 5 oz of this smell :)

I had an old favorite that did pretty well, but once I tried this one, I was hooked.
I was given a small tube as a freebie (when buying a present for someone) and I loved it. A very small amount will spread easily over the hands and immediately seeps in--no greasy feel whatsoever and my hands were immediately softer and more comfortable (they are sometimes a little sore at the end of the day).
I find the scent very understated--a little soft and sweet (I believe the website claims jasmine) but does not remind me particularly of 'Grandma', 'lessers'*, or baby powder. Clean, sweet and light.
My husband somehow, psychically, must have known how much I like this and he just gave me the 5.2 ounce tube for my birthday. What a great guy! In...Read more
