La Chatelaine 20% Shea Butter Hand Cream Travel Size, New Scent, Organic Argan Oil, Moisturizing, Nourishing, Repairing, Extra-Rich Hand Lotion, Made in France, Paraben Free, 1 oz / 30ml (Oud Rose)

I bought these as gifts and they were a hit—like, text-me-later-asking-where-you-got-it level. The Oud Rose scent is elegant and warm, not overpowering or artificial. It lingers just enough to feel indulgent but never clashes with perfume or feels heavy.The texture is rich, velvety, and instantly moisturizing without being greasy. It sinks in beautifully and leaves your hands feeling soft and pampered. The 20% shea butter content really shows in the quality—it feels like a high-end product and makes drugstore creams feel like watered-down lotion in comparison.The packaging is also beautiful and feels fancy enough to gift without wrapping. Would absolutely repurchase—might even keep one for myself next time.

I mainly bought for the better ingredients! I’m an avid label-reader and this doesn’t have the toxic chemicals that most commercialized products have. Small tube, yes- but not a shocker since it tells you the amount in the description. Plus, I don’t mind paying more as long as it’s good quality (and the French are known for this).This definitely feels like a luxury hand cream. You can visually see a softening of your skin right away.I ordered two: Gardenia & Rose. Gardenia was too strong for me. Initially smells of the floral, then dries to a powdery finish. If that’s what you’re going for, you might like this scent. If you’re sensitive to smells/fragrances like me, you might get an instant headache with sinus irritation. Rose scents can be very touchy sometimes, and I was afraid it might be musky or give old-lady vibes. Not the case, thankfully! The scent is very feminine. It is noticeable, but subtle. It goes on and finishes the same. I have a pretty keen sense of smell, but realize it’s all individual preference, as well as people’s individual body chemicals, that either make or break a fragrance. For me, I returned Gardenia and kept the Rose.Next on my list is to try White Grapefruit and Fresh Rain. It’s portable and pretty; toss one in your purse, on your night stand, in your car, in your office desk, etc.

Often found in boutiques, this particular brand of hand cream is unsurpassed in quality; I always have a tube of this brand in my purse.The scents are pleasant, not overpowering and on-point; lavender smells like lavender, sandalwood like sandalwood, even lilikoi smells like passion fruit.Cream applies easily, although at first glance it appears to be greasy/waxy. That is not the case as the cream absorbs easily into the skin and does not leave a greasy residue. Long lasting, it doesn't feel heavy or the need to, as with some hand creams to wipe off excess with a tissue.Yes, this brand may be more expensive than other hand creams, yet worth every penny as it works as advertised and through the years, remains a high quality product.Highly recommend, will purchase again!

Smells like roses but somewhat synthetic. Like there’s a bit of a “plastic” smell to it. Kind of leaning towards a rose scented soap. Texture is thick, you only need two pea sized amount for both hands. Goes on smooth and is absorbed fairly quickly by the skin. Does not feel sticky at all.

I got one of these lotions in a gift bag or from ipsy and I loved the scent and I’m very sensitive and particular about perfumes and scented lotions but the scent I wanted was out of stock so I decide to take a chance and I’m glad I did. I love the smell, it’s so good and not overpowering. This lotion is so good and a little goes a long way which is one of the reasons I allowed myself to pay for it. I do feel the price is pretty steep for the amount you get but I just love the way it feels and smells so much that I treat myself now and then. Wish it came in a larger size but idk if I could afford that😅

Smells good and it’s the right thick creamy texture you would expect for a hand cream. Doesn’t leave a greasy after feel. The only reason for the 3 star review is that it’s not moisturizing. We’ve used it for about a month now and it hasn’t made our hands any better. We always have to use something else to supplement.

Love it! Not a very strong scent. Soaks it and refreshes my hands.

Smells good and absorbs fast
