This is a very rich cream, and therefore be sparing a little bit goes a long way—-the scent is heavenly, fresh with a floral finish (btw, I do not like floral scents but this is so ‘authentic’ like I’ve brush against a floral shrub in the garden); comments about it being weighty are correct; I mix a little with your favourite SMN lotion/oil works wonders, plus warming it in your hands a bit first works too.
