I don't know if it's because I received it from someone else, or if I didn't store it properly, but it doesn't have the pleasant citrus scent that everyone is describing...it's more like the scent of a sharpened pencil...I wonder if that's because it's natural?! I thought, but it seems there's something different (lol). Also, I'm so careless that I ended up using it with my hands like a regular lotion, but it seems like cotton pads are the only option (lol). I'll try using it properly and use it all up.
