Readers,

I adore this lotion. If it were any other scent, I'd probably not really care so much. The lotion is pretty thin (but still quite good) and is nowhere near being "rich" as it advertises on the bottle. If you try to apply after shaving, beware of some stinging and red marks that will appear. It is not so thick that it really works fabulously as a skin-nourishing lotion.

So why buy it? Why love it?

The smell. Sandalwood and cinnamon. It's such a sexy scent (hence being "alluring") with that nice, earthy, spicy scent. It makes me feel so warm and is almost like cuddles-in-a-bottle. Something about that smell hits every little receptor in my mind and makes me relax and feel so cozy.

Unfortunately, it only seems to translate into this specific scent in the lotion form (pretty common issue- sprays are too concentrated, gels and washes smell too soapy, lotions are just right). I'd love to wash in this, though.

Oh, also, I have am very sensitive to strong smells and usually can't even put a scented lotion on anything more than my hands, if that. This one really is not that strong, but it is pretty lasting.

This just works for me. It might not be perfect for others (it'd probably rate as a 3 for it's lotion quality), but I just love this (a 5...so I averaged the two out).

Give it a whiff and make a decision based off of that..or just trust my nostrils! :)
