I really love the packaging of this product. A nice rust coloured glass tub that stores the cream inside. Really easy to unscrew too.

The cream smells divine, i guess thats the reason why i bought this in the first place. It smells absolutely heavenly, one of those smells-good-enough-to-eat products.

I heard though, that Crabtree & Evelyn use a lot of fragrances in their products so i wouldn't recommend their products to those with sensitive skin. My mum suffered an allergic reaction after using one of their lotions, specifically their Rose lotion, so yes, do avoid if you have sensitive skin.





This body butter is very creamy and thick. Not very easy to spread and leaves your skin feeling a little sticky, but i guess its the same for all body butters, like those in Bodyshop. I used it up surprisingly quick though. I do feel that my skin is smoother and softer so yeah, i think this product is rather good.

DO NOT EAT IT THOUGH.

I bought this in a Crabtree and Evelyn store in Paragon basement, beside Starbucks. You should be able to find this in any store however. Retails for $65. Not cheap but smells lovely and leaves your skin smooth.




Rating: ♥♥♥ ♥/ Three and a half hearts. Smells great but leaves your body sticky. May not be good for sensitive skins too.
