Aniise Antioxidant Body Cream - Deep Hydration, Calming Lavender & Shea Butter - 4 Fl Oz

This Aniise Body Cream is quite nice. It’s a good consistency, not to thin, not too thick. It does take a while to absorb. I put it on my hands and it took about 5 minutes to fully absorb. It makes your skin soft and hydrated. There was a very slight sticky feel if you put it on thickly. The fragrance is okay. Not the best but not bad. It’s hard to describe but seemed like sort of a yam and floral fragrance to me. It’s very mild and you don’t notice it unless you smell your hand. It’s definitely a nice rich cream that does moisturize. I like that it’s vegan.

The texture of this lotion is like a liquidy pudding. It goes on well and feels very nice and moisturizing. The smell is okay, but it's overwhelming. Even after washing my hands twice, I can still smell it. It's hard for me to use and recommend this product because of how strongly it smells. I agree with others that it is kind of an old-lady scent, so that combined with how strong it is, make me not love this lotion as much as I would have if it were unscented.

This body cream is great for my dry skin. It's a bit thin but it absorbs into my skin really well. The reviews seems to be split on the scent but I really like it. It's a little old lady like, but it's not a bad smell at all and I find it very pleasant. Smells good and moisturizes my skin, I'm happy.

Your experience in regards to the scent of this product may be very different than mine. I love lavender essential oil smell but this does not smell just like lavender. Perhaps more flowery? And I typically do not like floral scented products. I reminds me a bit of my mom's fav perfume which was White Shoulders (this may be the "grandmother smell" that others have commented on). So YMMV.I usually expect a body butter to be very thick and creamy but this product was closer to a lotion. If you tip the jar, the product floats to that side so it really could be in a pump bottle.

The scent is very strong so I recommend mixing half of what you would usually use and mix in some unscented (or lightly scented) body oil. My mom really liked the scent so she didn't need to mix it. Let it settle before putting on clothes because I dropped some on my sweater and it's lightly staining. It is moisturizing though.
