an interesting combination of scents [SEP] is hands down the best lotion i have ever purchased as much i love the almond coconut scent i was looking for a bit of a change i read a lot of positive reviews of the amber vanilla scent and i decided to try it while i am not a huge fan of vanilla well i love it as a food but not so much as a beauty product i absolutely love amber scented products as i am writing this review i am sniffing the cream and trying to find the best way to describe the scent it is not difficult to pick out the individual amber and vanilla aromas it is the combination of the two that i am having a hard time describing as different as the two scents are they mix well together the slightly masculine amber keeps the vanilla from being overly sweet i would say that the amber scent is the more pronounced of the two this a strong scent if you are looking for something subtle you may want to consider another scentthe quality of laura merciers cream is superb it is thick rich and absorbs well without any greasiness as an added bonus the glass jar is pretty enough to leave out on my bathroom counter
