I think there must have been a lot of research and testing to just make the scent of this product. It is the just the perfect balance, and it is very energizing but relaxing and calming at the same time. I don't quite know how to explain it - you have to try it! Way better than the bath and body stuff that girls stock up on just for their scent! As for the functionality of this product, it also rocks! It is one of the gentlest body wash I've ever used, only second to dove's beauty bar. I actually use this more than Dove now because this scent to me has a mood boosting effect. It cleans so well, and it leaves my skin very soft.
