Texture & Scent:


This lotion is a slightly thicker, so it feels a little heavier than the usual body lotions! Out of the four Bath & Body Works lotion i own, this one has the lightest texture. This one has a really fresh and powdery scent which i have grown really fond of!! I especially LOVED the subtle orange scent when it mellows down! :D

Fragrance Top Notes: Sun Dried Linen Accord, Grass, Mandarin Blossom

Fragrance Mid Notes: Jeans Accord, Peony, Cotton

Fragrance Base Notes: Musk, Baby Powder

Packaging:


This lotion comes in a squeeze bottle with a flip top cap! I personally do not like the cap though, because the lotion will get stuck in the cap and congeal there if i don't use it for sometime!

The flip top cap:



Time Test:
This lotion takes about 10-15 minutes to sink in, and my skin feels moisturized for up to 8 hours after that! :)

Price & Availability:
This lotion is priced at US$9.50 (approx. RM34.20), which i feel is rather reasonable for the quality you're getting! Sadly, this is not available in Malaysia! It can be bought at all Bath & Bodyworks outlets and their website (They have amazing offers like buy 3 free 3 going on sometimes too!). It's also available at certain Watsons outlets in Singapore! :)

Usage:
I usually use this at night before bed as a night moisturizer! :)


My $0.02:

My beloved husband (lol!) got me these lotions when a friend of his offered to buy stuff for him from the States!! I'm really grateful that he chose to buy stuff for me instead of himself!! Love!! hahaha!!

Ok back to the review! :D I got this lotion "unseen"... just based on their descriptions! lol! To be very honest, i was really disappointed when i got this one, as the scent wasn't what i thought it was!! But after awhile, it really grew on me, and now it's one of my favourite scents! :D

It smells really fresh and clean, and it really reminds me of freshly laundered linen!! :D And the scent lasts and lasts the whole day!! lol! :D This lotion moisturizes really well also, though it may be a little heavy for tropical climates!

All in all, i think this is a really high quality lotion that's really affordable! Too bad it's not available in Malaysia cuz i would definitely repurchase!! :(
