Same Product, Different Scent - Crabtree & Evelyn - Hand Therapy - Citron, Honey, & Coriander

This smells divine!

The citrus oil scent is the strongest note and it's wonderful.

The coriander complements it so well.

The honey is barely perceptible, and I like it that way.

It is so rich and nourishing, as many of the hand therapies are.

Same Product, Different Scent - Crabtree & Evelyn - Hand Therapy - English Honey & Peach Blossom

I don't know about this scent combo. The honey 'caramel notes' don't really blend well with the peach blossom.
It smells a bit like something nearby is over-ripe/ rotting.
Unfortunately, the scent is also really strong and long lasting, so you can't just ignore it.

Crabtree & Evelyn - Nail Lacquer - Eggplant/ Aubergine

This is a great aubergine purple, that is best with two coats.

Two coats.
Note, texture is due to the plastic, not the polish.

Price: 3/5 ($10.00 for 15mL)
New Name: *I can't beat 'Aubergine'
Effectiveness: 5/5

Same Product, Different Scent - Crabtree & Evelyn - Hand Therapy - La Source

This has a lovely marine fragrance which I just ADORE!
A great unisex scent that could work for anyone.

Same Product, Different Scent - Crabtree & Evelyn - Hand Therapy -  Evelyn Rose

This isn't a straight rose scent. It is like a blend of rose, musk and a little bit of black pepper.

Crabtree & Evelyn - Torocco Orange, Eucalyptus & Sage - Bath & Shower Gel

This smells so wonderful! Its orange rinds, mild eucalyptus, and a medium note of sage.
It works as a unisex scent and is so fresh and unique.

It lathers up so well and cleans nicely.

Put it on a shower puff (you don't need much) and you will have suds for days!

I only have two wishes for it: 
- It wasn't so expensive (not going to happen, its Crabtree & Evelyn)
- The scent would stay on the skin for longer.

Price: 1/5 (RRP &28.00 for 250mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Same Product, Different Scent: Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Therapy - Pear and Pink Magnolia

It's sweet, fruity, floral, and a perfect summer scent! Loved this!
And the formula is still as rich as any other scent in this range.

Same Product, Different Scent: Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Therapy - Somerset Meadow

I can't say I liked the scent of this hand therapy... too 'white floral' for me

But I can't fault the formulation <3

Same Product, Different Scent: Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Therapy - Nantucket Briar

This smells like heaven to me, if I were ever let in to heaven :p

I smell lavender, rose and violet... the website lists it as peony, wild rose, citrus, vanilla, patchouli and exotic spices...

At any rate, I LOVE this!!!

Scent: 5/5

Same Product, Different Scent: Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Therapy - Gardeners

***This is a new segment I am starting. It's when it is the same product as one previously reviewed, but the scent is different.***

It smells like warm, winter spices to me. Cinnamon*, nutmeg* and myrrh join macadamia oil and shea butter in this delightful hand cream.
*I decided these are in there :p

Image a pumpkin pie if you will, this smells of the spices you put in one.... so good!

It reminds me of this so much, in fact, that I think I need to send some to my friend Pumpking! (testing if you still check this)
Others need to know how good this smells!

Scent: 5/5 (duh) 

Crabtree & Evelyn Wisteria Hand Therapy

C&E hand therapies are my all time favourite hand cream, lets just put that out there right now! And this wisteria one was no exception! The formula is so thick and luxurious but it soaks in SO FAST! After you put it on, you can wash your hands (~10min) later and they will not feel greasy or slimy at all, something other hand creams can do. The scent in these is strong, so if you do buy one of these, smell the tester first so you are sure you like it. The only scent I have encountered that I didn't like was lily, and that is a personal preference.
By the brand you may be able to guess that they are pricey for what they are, but rest assured, the quality is there.

Price: 2/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
Odour: 5/5 (if you like the scent)
