Scullys is a great New Zealand range that do a lot of really special products, this being one of them.
This gorgeous cream comes in a box so it makes a lovely gift and is easy to wrap. The tube is a soft sort of metal tube with a plastic lid.
The cream is rich in texture and absorbs beautifully into your hands. It does not leave a greasy residue and leaves your hands feeling hydrated and soft.
The fragrance reminds me of walking through a rose garden, it is so lovely. I dont find it overpowering at all. It will stay on your hands for a good long while, subtle, but still there. I really do love this hand cream, while it is not the cheapest on the market, I feel it is one of the best, so it is a real treat to use.
I'm not usually one for wearing hand cream, I don't get dry skin around my hands and if I get given handcream, it usually just floats around in my desk drawer until I clear out and gift it to someone else. That is, until I found this stuff!
I used to think heavy floral scents like rose are rather 'nana'-ish, and prefer lighter florals in my perfume. But for some reason, whilst the scent is strong with this hand cream, I don't find it overwhelming, and it lingers beautifully (I hate beautifully scented creams that smell amazing in the bottle, but then the scent doesn't linger on the skin).
The cream is very silky, and soaks in beautifully, doesn't leave a slippery residue at all and makes skin feel silky smooth.
The packaging is pretty as well, I like the metallic basic look. And the tube is generously sized, especially for the price.
I've used this as an emergency moisturiser in other areas of the body, and it works a treat to moisturise (although the fragrance is a bit overwhelming when you use it on your face!)
Tips: Be careful if your wear heavy perfume, you won't want to go overboard with scent as this is a highly scented product!!
