I really enjoy this cream, my skin is oily so the fact that it's really light yet good moisturizer is perfect for me. In my opinion the scentence it's not overwhelming at all, but if you are sensitive to strong smells you may wanna wait a few minutes before the smell goes away. I do have a negative thing to say about this product, the 100mL presentation has a completely different texture (more light, it absorbs quicker) that the 50ml presentation (heavier and takes longer to absorbs), it's pretty weird because it is exactly the same product. The only way I found to resolve this problem was using the 100ml during summer and the 50ml in winter.
