I have been addicted to this eucalyptus scent and finishing up an older bottle of hand lotion. I ordered a new one and it’s so disappointing… not as strong as the one I had before. Hopefully this will not be a reoccurring issue, for such an expensive hand lotion I expect to be able to smell the scent well and not have them skimp on oilsI love this hand lotion. It leaves my hands soft and no greasy feel.Love the scent!!Great lotionGarage sale vanity case from the 1970's would best describe the scent of Goldleaf. Why did they discontinue the Lotus Santal? WHY?I'm always on the lookout for a "true" gardenia fragrance and the closest I have come is Kai, but since I love all of Thymes' other fragrances, I thought I'd give this a shot despite the mixed reviews. This is not true gardenia, but it is a luscious, beautiful, clean floral fragrance without that weird "over sweet" musty smell that almost all other gardenia perfumes and scents have. I don't know what sort of floral this is, but I like it so much I want the entire line.As far as the lotion itself, it's AMAZING. My hands get so dry and cracked from washing them 6,000 times a day, chemicals from art supplies and solvents, plus hours in the swimming pool with the chlorine (I'm an endurance/distance swimmer), and nothing helps them but thick coats of Neutrogena hand gel, which means I can't do anything with my hands for a while after I apply that.This lotion, which went on soft and creamy and absorbed instantly, literally healed my hands in a day. Now I use it religiously, whether my hands are dry or not, and it's wonderful- absorbs quickly, smells divine, and doesn't make my hands greasy or sticky.Love, love, love.This lotion is lightweight and is absorbed quickly - and the eucalyptus scent is divine. Subtle but oh so nice!I absolutely love the fragrance of this lotion, and its moisturizing action. Have used it for years!Long lasting
