I use 3 of Em's other splashes, so this one wasn't really a gamble except for the scent. It's unusual; not exactly herbal, but pleasant... During hot weather, it is wonderful. It cools and smells good going on then dissipates quickly, but leaves a slight lingering aroma. Other than that it is superior like all of Em's products, particularly for its cooling, soothing and toning...The only reason the marks weren't all 10s is that the fragrance isn't for everyone.
