Wonderful, natural, cruelty-free lotion!
Whenever I use this lotion (mostly on my hands and arms) I always hear people say "What are you wearing? You smell so good!" In fact, my daughter's friend will be getting a bottle this Christmas because she loves this lotion so much! I put some on this morning after my shower, and 11 hours later I can still smell the faint, heavenly aroma. I don't think it smells like mall body lotion at all, as one review stated. It's a truly exceptional product.

Good, except for.....
This product is a good moisturizer, with the exception of the bottle. You have to work to get the lotion out of the bottle. There is no fragrant smell to it either-- this surprised me because of all the essential oils. I put mine in another bottle and added some lavender essential oil. Now it's perfect.

Very strong scent, but no lavender
First off, this is a great product. Very, very emollient. So thick, you'll have to work to get it out of the tiny opening, and once you do, you'll have a bit of a chore rubbing it into your skin. I find it works best if your skin is slightly damp. You'll really only need a small amount (about the size of a quarter) to lubricate your whole body, so this is a very good value.
But the smell, oh the smell. See, the problem with adding sooo much fragrance to your product is you can easily overwhelm the senses, and you better hope it's a fragrance you'll enjoy. For me, no such luck. I consider the product name misleading because I can detect no soothing lavender at all. All I can smell (and boy do I smell it) is a cloying, sweet, floral smell, and it's definitely not lavender. In fact, it's reminiscent of some mall lotion shop smells. Ugh. Though the ingredients list honeysuckle as an ingredient, I can't imagine this is a natural scent. It smells far too artificial. I don't know what to do with this lotion at this point. I appreciate the products put forth by this company, but I hope they'll consider using fragrances that provide more of an aroma-therapeutic effect in future formulations. Like a true lavender or verbena.

Body Lotion
Sorry—I was not happy with this product. I found it to be ultra-greasy, too solid to squeeze out of container easily, and frankly I didn't like the fragrance (unpleasant smell).

Useless
This seriously needs a makeover - the product is so thick and pasty you can't get it out of the bottle. I managed to get some out using a knife but it just broke into pasty pieces on my skin, I couldn't rub it into my skin. Such a waste I threw it away.
