The second I took a whiff of the lotion I fell in love. It smells old and woodsy, and just like my grandpa when I would give him a hug in the morning. It brings to mind a lot of pleasant memories for me and I would love it for that reason alone, however I do have perpetually dry skin and the lotion delivers a wonderful moisturizing effect that doesn’t feel greasy. I would one hundred percent recommend the lotion to any of my friends. The salt soap smells lovely as well but I haven’t noticed any kind of exfoliation happening. It may be a little too subtle in that regard for me, but it is a lovely chunk of nice smelling soap that doesn’t take too long to rinse off and leaves my skin feeling clean.
