Our products are made in small hand batches with all natural ingredients, never with added artificial scents, fragrances or perfumes. The Moisture Riser Cream specifically contains Blue Tansy + Rose Geranium, natural ingredients with very distinct herbal scents. It is a bit difficult to compare to another scent because they are so specific on their own and combined. You may have smelled blue tansy before, but Rose Geranium is a little harder to come by.
Rose Geranium is different from rose, they are often confused for the same thing. Rose and Rose Water have lighter floral scents that are often replicated into a fragrance that can give it a powdery scent - most of what people remember or attribute to these scent profiles are based off of formulations that aim to replicate the scents artificially. In the U.S., we have become accustomed to the artificial notes instead of the pure form of the extracted properties, often labeled as "fragrance/parfum" in anything from laundry detergent, to hand soap, to candles, to cleaning products, shampoos, and everything in between.
Rose Geranium is not rose essential oil, and does not possess the same properties as rose essential oil. It can be easy to see certain ingredients on labels and expect a certain scent (as explained above), which has sometimes been the case with our Moisture Riser Cream. Moisture Riser has an earthy scent because our ingredients are natural.
