I don't typically care for the scent of honey, but I received this Honey + Tangerine hand cream as a free gift with purchase. I always love Perlier hand creams, so I tried it as soon as I opened my parcel. I was very pleasantly surprised by the delightfully light scent with the mildest touch of honey that's not too sweet. The tangerine doesn't stand out too strongly, but rather, is part of a blend that balances beautifully. It's a more refined scent than I expected for a food-based fragrance. I think the restrained citrus pop is very successful in creating the balance. As always, moisturizers by Perlier are comfortable and soothing to my dry skin, so this particular formula absorbs quickly without irritation or leaving a residue. It's richer than a lotion, yet it absorbs immediately. It doesn't run off your skin when you squeeze it out of the tube, which is helpful if you're applying on the go. I enjoy how light this fragrance is. Perhaps my dry skin and my chemistry play into that result as well as the cooler weather, but in my opinion, it's a year-round fragrance. I appreciate the light scent so it doesn't interfere with anything else I'm wearing. This makes it perfect to carry in a purse or a pocket to use whenever I wash my hands or if I need a touch up. Everyone I've gifted a Perlier hand cream has absolutely loved it, regardless of their age, gender, skin type, or the fragrance they received! I started buying Perlier through HSN with their exclusive bargains and helpful demonstrations. But, a perk of shopping directly on Perlier.com is the free gift with qualifying purchase (as well as the superior packaging job). I'd probably never have tried this Honey & Tangerine Hand Cream if not for receiving it as my free gift, and what a shame that would have been!
