I only use this body lotion when I want to feel luxurious, since it is so expensive.  The bottle, and the lotion itself are cream-colored.  The lotion is more runny than creamy in texture.  It does a fine job when it comes to moisturizing, but I wouldn't recommend it for extremely dry skin.  It's so perfumed that I can imagine it would burn and sting.  I definitely use as a perfume.  (Am I the only one that uses lotion as perfume?)  I can't do it with most lotions, but definitely can with this one and it's cheaper than the perfume, so hey!  It has a nice fresh, musky scent.  It doesn't smell light and girly but it is very feminine and...*womanly* you could say.  I get compliments on how I smell when I wear it.  It's the only Chanel item I've ever owned, but I like having it.  So ultimately, I wouldn't use this for dry skin unless I didn't have another option.  It will moisturize and isn't like other perfumey lotions that have no substance as a moisturizer.  But I prefer to use it for its scent.
