If you're looking for a great smelling lotion.

I have seen this lotion sold in Marshall's for a long time, they seem to always have it in stock.

In the past, I unscrewed the cap to smell it and thought it was nice but didn't buy it.

My last trip to Marshall's I decided to finally get it.

It's Hempz Age Defying Herbal Body Moisturizer.

Hempz: Age Defying Herbal Moisturizer, 17 oz

They had different versions, but I chose by smell.

The original smelled nice too but I liked this one best.

Hard to describe the smell, it's not floral, not fruity, not green, not citrus, it's what I consider a cozy smell. Maybe a touch of vanilla? Not sure, I'm usually good at describing scents buy this one is hard.

It's just really nice.

Not sure what is age defying about it, I wouldn't count on it. As a lotion, I think it's OK, all lotions are kind of OK to me.

For me, it's all about the scent..

I used it after a shower, at night, all over my body but that was a big mistake because I'm not used to scenting myself before I go to bed, It keeps me awake.

The scent does linger on me. Now I only use it in the day and only on my legs up to my thighs. This way it's not right under my nose all day so I don't get sick of it.

If you like to smell it all day, put in on your arms and shoulders too.

unfortunately, I peeled off the price tag so can't tell you what I paid but I know it's no where near Amazon't prices.

Anyway, just passing this along.

Next time you're in Marshalls, give it a sniff, particularly the age defying one.

Head's up, the pink one is nauseating.

I pay $7.99 at TJ Maxx. Incidently, the pink one is Pomegranite - my favorite! To each his own!!!

I have been using this lotion for years as a hand cream. My body requires more of a cream consistancy. My SIL commented a few years ago how much he liked my hand cream. So every Christmas I put this in his stocking. However, I use the Original scent. Smells just like bananas. Last year Ulta had Peppermint White Chocolate which was srumptuous!

I would love a banana smelling body product. A few years back Perlier had a banana body product that was awesome. I am not sure that they still sell it. I will have to look for it sometime soon.
