Heard SO many good things about this. Is it as good as they say please?

Smells like baby upchuck and no.... I've had better results from drugstore body lotion. (And I am a cosmetic snob)

It's ok. But that's all. Not worth the cost imo.

It does smell nice. It’s the one thing which when I wear people will ask me what perfume I’m wearing. I know it’s the cream because nobody asks me that when I’m just wearing my perfume! 😁. As a moisturiser I don’t think it’s better than any cheap body moisturiser.

Its just thick cream, no better than any other body butter.

Nice cream. Excellent branding. Huge investment in sales and marketing... hence why you are asking!

Good - but no different to any other good quality cream.

I am not fab. I don’t like the smell. I think their Bom dia is much better. Love the smell and does make skin look better. Especially on my arms. However the effect isn’t that amazing that I always use it. Do think it’s very expensive.

Theres a soap and glory one that’s really similar.

I love it. I have very dry skin on my lower legs especially. I find the scent nice, but can be a bit strong. I love the thick creamy smooth texture. I sometimes mix a bit of body oil in with it as I'm applying it and that seems to make it even better :)

There are a few varieties, the only one I like is the cocoa butter one, I think this is the one most people rave about. I really dislike the coconut one.

I use it most days, I like the smell and my skin now has a nice sheen to it naturally.

I have it and really like it as I love the smell. Realistically though it’s a marketing triumph and not any better than many cheaper brands.

It smells beautiful to me. It is very very expensive though. Treaclemoon do a dupe which also smells amazing and is a lovely moisturiser - it’s about £5 so approx a 10th of the price!
