Although I do love the classic smell of dried roses, this lotion is rather strong when you first use it - almost overwhelmingly so.  If you are super sensitive to smells you will likely want to avoid this one.  Thankfully the scent does fade a great deal after a while although it doesn't completely go away for a long time.  As a moisturizer it works very well - it did a great job of soothing the itch on my legs caused by this dry winter air. On the hands it does feel a little bit greasy at first but does eventually rub in pretty good.  I was a little surprised when I received my bottle because it was frozen solid and bulging - I was amazed that the bottle hadn't cracked open and made a mess inside of the box. After several hours at room temp it was fine but if you're considering ordering depending on seasons where you live you may want to avoid ordering it in the winter.  There was some bubble wrap in the box with it but the bubble wrap wasn't wrapped tight around the lotion it was all kind of just rolling around inside the box.
