This was a moisturizing shower oil that left my skin soft after showering. I especially liked this oil in the dead of winter when my skin was very dry; not so sure it would be the greatest in hot, humid weather. It smelled nice but the volume of shower oil you get for the price may not be worth it. I purchased it as part of a larger kit so the price for all the products combined was definitely worth it. Overall, I love l'occitane products so I will continue to use them and recommend them.

Nice low key sweet smell, though I don't smell any almond scent. It is actually a shower gel not an oil. It lathers quickly and leaves the skin nice and soft. Only thing would be that it isn't very cheap, and it's use isn't that essential (many other body washes out there) so I don't know if I would get it again but it would be a nice gift.
