Review (4/5): Excellent cream but too scented
I really hate it when companies ruin an otherwise excellent product by a very correctable and stupid mistake. I don't want to go so far as to say that this cream has been ruined, but it is far too scented for my liking, and probably most people's tastes. The cream itself is very nice and thick, and a little goes a very long way. It is very expensive, there is no doubt about that, however when considering how much use I was able to get out of it by simply a dab with the tip of my finger being enough to spread across my whole face, I would say that this cream will last you a very long time. I have an oily T zone, as well as dry spots around my chin, and found that it did a reasonably good job of not exacerbating my oily areas, but most importantly an excellent result in hydrating my dry spots. I think I would recommend this cream to those people who have a drier skin type, as it does do a very nice job of moisturizing with its thicker consistency. The downfall of this cream is how scented it actually is. It's not that it is unpleasant, it's that it is strong and lingers for a very long time. I used it as a night cream, so by the morning it had dissipated some, but I could even still smell it then. That might be something that some people like as a feature, but for myself personally I actually prefer unscented creams. It is rare to find a cream that is so powerfully scented, that it can last all night long. Even my pillow had begun to absorb the scent. So I felt like I was unable to get away from it, even if I didn't apply the cream. I think if they dial back the scent a lot, or simply get rid of it altogether, you'll have a fantastic cream on your hands here. All in all, performance wise it works really well at moisturizing and hydrating, but they have to tone down the scent or get rid of it for this to be a top notch cream. That may be a subjective opinion, but something tells me I wouldn't be alone in thinking that.
