Just received. I like it, but I like Fresh Cream better. It does smell a lot like Fresh Cream, but the honey is more complex and a little flowery. Pretty but a little heavier.

I received mine today and I love it.  It smells like the fresh cream but with some honey mixed in.  You can really smell the honey.  I am glad I wait listed for two more sets.   I use the large bottle (and it is large) mosly for bubbly baths.  It really smells yummy.  If you like the smell of fresh honey, you should love this.

So glad you all like your purchase.  It can be nerve racking to order a fragrance from TV.  Enjoy your new goodies.Smiley Happy

I love it!  But for me it does not smell like Fresh Cream.  I did not like Fresh Cream at all because I smelled like cookies all day.  To me, Honey and Cream is just very slightly whipped cream sweet, with a scent of honey.  It's not food that comes to mind, but rather a lovely, warm, relaxing feeling. They seemed to pull back the heavier vanilla scent from Fresh Cream.  I love it.

 

UPDATE***

 

I was too quick to post this favorable review.  After a couple of days, I realized I was judging the new Honey & cream based on my very positive opinion of the spritz.  I was spritzing galore!  But without it, the shower gel has a decidedly unpleasant scent.  It has a slight scent of stale (not sour), room temperature milk or cream.  When layered with the spritz somehow the notes mix and it's wonderful to me, but alone -- no.  The souffle cream has no scent at all (as I stated in my other post) so layering is key.  Even though I will keep this because it can be mixed with other creams and spritzes very well,  I will not be purchasing Honey & Cream again.

Thank you all for your replies. I considered ordering it but refrained because the only Fresh Cream I like is the shower gel. The other forms did not appeal to me.

I'm glad you mentioned the other forms @wonderfulworld.  While I love the shower gel and the spritz on their own, I feel the souffle cream has no scent at all.  At least I cannot smell it.  It does not come alive for me until I use the spritz along with it. 

 

I also use the Honey and Cream souffle and mix it with Sweet Vanilla Fig souffle -- the result is wonderful!!!  So for me, I definitely need to layer another something with the H&C cream .

That sounds like an interesting combination. I can see why they might go well together.

 

The reason I dislike the other forms is because to me they smell like burnt sweetened condensed milk. For some reason the shower gel has more of an eggnog type spice to it that I quite like.

I just now read the reviews. There are many and the one star reviews are equal to the five star. Some people are quite disappointed in the honey and cream while others love it.  I think I will pass until I can smell it myself.

@wonderfulworld, it's funny how different everyone's nose is because I love Fresh Cream body lotion and fragrance.  It's smells more like a warm vanilla sugar to me.

 

The Fresh Cream shower gel is what I cannot stand because to me that is what smells like soured milk.  LOL
