Glasshouse Fragrances I'll Take Manhattan Hand Cream, Rich in Shea Butter & Rosehip Oil, Moisturizing & Perfume Scented, Orchids & Blood Orange, 3.4 Fl Oz (100mL)

This product arrived safety sealed, which is something that is always appreciated. When you pull the tube out of the box, the first thing you notice is the upscale look. Untwist the cap, and remove the foil seal that protects the product from contamination. As a germaphobe, that's huge for me!When it comes to fragrance, what I adore might be something that you can't bear. And vice versa. So before giving you my opinion about the fragrance I'll simply describe it as my nose sees it. Or rather, smells it.It does have an oceany crisp fragrance. As well as a tinge of citrus. Very pleasant. It's not overpowering, just enough to where you notice it, and it lingers but for only about half an hour.All of the above I would consider to be pluses. It isn't greasy, and it definitely softens my dry hands. It's kind of between a lotion and a cream. It's not runny like a lotion.Now for how I personally feel about it. It reminded me of something, so after thinking about it, the realization came that it's not unlike Irish Spring or Coast soap. Not exactly, but at least for my nose, it was pretty close.Obviously, many people really love that fragrance profile that both of these soaps have. So, many people will love the fresh fragrance of this hand cream. Please keep in mind that it's not an exact match, just the same scent profile.

I love the springy feel of this moisturizer, never feels too sticky or heavy. Smells so good

This Glasshouse Fragrances Lost in Amalfi Hand Cream was available to me through the Amazon Vine program. (Amalfi is a coastal town on the Tyrrhenian Sea in Italy.) I selected the Sea Mist scent, which smells quite good. The hand cream tube came boxed and had a foil seal. The tube is somewhat small, containing 100 ml (3.4 oz), but it’s a big for on-the-go. I like that the cream contains apricot kernel oil, shea butter, and rosehip oil for leaving hands nicely moisturized, and does not contain parabens, silicones or sulfates. However, it is considerably pricier per ounce than my usual hand creams. This product is made in Australia.

Working in a laboratory that requires frequent hand washing takes a toll on skin—adding Covid to the mix wreaks havoc. I need all the help I can get—this formula works well, and Sea Mist is a nice unobtrusive light scent. My hands soften right up and redness is toned down too. Because I use this at work, I can’t have greasy hands while touching glass equipment—this absorbs quickly without any greasy or sticky feel. The tube is just the right size to conveniently fit in a work drawer.

This is a lovely hand cream. The product is packed in a fairly small tube (only 3/4 ounces) sealed and is elegantly packaged in a nice box suitable for giving as a gift (or tucking into a Christmas stocking). It is a rich lotion cream but not too heavy and it goes on smoothly. It is absorbed fairly quickly and doesn't leave my hands feeling greasy at all. It is very moisturizing and softens my dry, rough hands right away and the effects are lasting. The fragrance is wonderful. I ordered the version called 'The Hamptons' with teak, iris and petitgrain which is a nice woodsy scent that I think is perfect for fall and winter and the holiday season. The scent is long lasting -- I put some on about an hour ago, and my hands still smell great. The current price of $25.00 for this hand cream does seem a bit high, but it is well formulated and of very high quality so I think it is worth it during the holidays or as an occasional splurge. I probably wouldn't buy it for everyday use, because I wash my hands frequently and therefore go through a lot of lotions and creams, but I do think it would make a great gift.

This arrives in a very chic midnight blue box. It is matte finish and everything here is very, very sophisticated in appearance.Now, untwist the cap and you will find a strong silver seal. This means that your hand cream is going to reach you in pristine condition. Love that!This has a nice thickness. Not so thick that you need to vigorously rub your hands and not so thin as to drip or provide a minimum of protection. This is just about perfect! Now, this also disappears into hands quickly, soothing chapped and over-washed hands. Impressive!I keep this right next to my hand soap. This way, I always follow-up washing with this cream (and my hands are just so much better for it).The scent is positively lovely!This is a fantastically effective and pretty smelling hand cream! Highly recommended!

Everything about this cream says "luxury" to me. The packaging is gorgeous. Even the squeeze tube it comes in seems delicate, somehow. The scent is multi-layered and long-lasting. And it goes on super smooth, soaks in quickly and leaves hands feeling moisturized.I'll be honest, though. The scent had to grow on me. I didn't like it at first. I think maybe I was expecting more orange and less floral. This is definitely orchid first, with a faint hint of orange. It's very strong at first, and *almost* too much. But when it's been on for awhile, it's very pleasant. It's definitely worth noting, though, that the scent is primarily floral. If you order this expecting citrus, you'll likely be disappointed. I've never smelled actual orchids before, but this reminds me a bit of peonies. It's lovely, but it's definitely not citrus-y.I'm really pleased with this cream. I think it would make an excellent gift, as it definitely seems high-end and comes in very giftable packaging. Just bear in mind the primary notes are floral, not citrus, even though "blood orange" is included in this scent's label.
