This opens with a smell that is vitamins rather than shea butter. It isn't offensive, but it also is surprising. It feels gorgeous on my skin. Glides on easily and soaks in immediately. A trest worth having!

The plus points on this product are that it is beautifully formulated. Lightweight but super moisturising and absorbs very easily with no greasy residue. The smell however is an acquired taste and will be very polarising. I would love this to smell like shea butter or coconut but it smells too botanical and overpowering. For the formula alone however this is very luxurious and well packaged!

This product has a really wonderful texture and light finish. But this smell (it’s not a scent) is so specific.  I use it only when I’m alone at home..

I received this as a sample and I'm at a loss as to how this was ever passed to be sold! The smell is horrible, it puts me in mind of men's urinals and cheap toilet cleaner. I thought maybe it would smell better once applied but sadly it doesn't and I had to scrub it off! Even my husband commented, and asked what the 'nasty smell' was!

Really expensive smell. Wonderful on the skin. Luxury cream by its quality. I have a lot of creams, but i can say this one is diffeerent. When i put it, i understand, what does it means, to use luxury cosmetics.

Nicely moisturises but, I really did not like the scent at all.

This cream feels a little tick when comes out of the tube but lighter once massaging into the skin leaving a soft, supple skin behind. My skin feels healthy and nice to touch and perfect to layer under a body shimmer, with a very gentle scent of raw ingredients and extracts. Maybe if you are particularly dry and flaky may need a bit of support but for keeping the skin its best this a perfect option with ethically sourced ingredients and hand made and sourced process so another great brand where you are paying for more than just skincare.

the smell was. to put it mildly, highly unpleasant. i didnt even apply it to my body

Been a huge fan of Francisco Costa when he was a designer and I couldn't be happier that we now have his beauty brand! I don't usually use body cream because I don't like that sticky sensation but this one... I'm really glad that I've tried this one. It melts into your skin and doesn't leave a weird sensation. It's not heavy at all. The smells is divine. It has a "mature" scent I'd say and it reminds me of summer and holidays. I love this body cream (and so does my bf) and would recommend if you're into luxurious product. It will last me at least more than a month!
