smells like cheap hand cream
I like the ingredients and initial feel of this product on my hand but the scent is an immediate no. Its a sharp green floral that reminds me of dated perfume or cheap hand cream. Even if you liked the scent its generic and weak and wasn't the luxury experience i expected. If this smelled like oribe Id be all over it.

Smells AMAZING!!!
Of all of the products I’ve purchased over my forty-something years, this is easily my absolute favorite scent! It’s floral and delicious without being overwhelming. If a scent could be classified as “classy” this would be it; very luxe.
The product itself doesn’t do the best job at taming flyaways, but it also doesn’t weight down the rest of my tresses. Instead, it leaves them silky, shiny and soft and enhances my natural waves in a way that prevents me from having to do any other styling, so that’s a trade-off I’m willing to make. If you have relatively healthy, wavy hair and want to be able to wash and go, this product just might be the right one for you!

So soft and light scented.
This was the perfect size to take with me on my trip to Italy. I mainly used it on my full body and love the way it melted into my skin. It’s so soft and has a light scent and leaves you pretty moisturized for a good part of the day. I would definitely recommend.

A good everyday staple
For context, I have straight, thick, color treated hair. Though my hair is fairly healthy, I tend to experience some dryness or frizz from time to time and prefer to use a daily serum/leave in conditioner. While this isn’t necessarily the most hydrating formula, it is elegantly formulated and absorbs quickly to both damp hair and skin without leaving any texture or residue. It also has a very light and floral scent, which adds to a more luxurious experience. While this isn’t necessarily a must have, it’s definitely a nice treat to look forward to as part of a daily routine!

Multi use product 10/10
Huge fan of the mask and hair oil from this line (and the scent!!). As soon as I saw this new product that is a hair AND body balm I immediately added to cart. Makes the hair/body feel soft and my husband said I smell really good.

Adds shine
This product is so easy to use and distribute evenly to all strands. It is not oily or sticky.
It is a lightweight balm that smells amazing.
It adds hydration to the hair but the effect does not last very long. My hair feels the same dry and frizzy again the next day. That’s the only drawback.

Great for skin and hair
This product is very gentle on skin. I was planning to use it just on my hair but my family ended up stealing some to use on rough skin. Very silky. And obviously also great for hair. With the weather changing and skin/hair being drier it’ll help. I have only had for a cough of weeks but I am excited to see if my hair is less frizzy long term
I received this as a free gift.
