The first time I used the cream, I expected it to smell a little bit like honey with a sticky consistency. BUT it is NOTHING like that at all. This cream has a light consistency and is NOT creamy-oily, which is good for the spring and summer season. The cream has hint of an herbal scent. The herbal scent is very light and actually smells very refreshing. What surprised me the most was that the cream made my face feel as if I had a sheet mask on, which feels similar to a mochi-like texture. I am very happy I purchased this product and recommend it to anyone who is willing to use $27 to budget for a good cream!
