I'd only ever used the cheaper LUX line, so I bought the trial size of this one. The shampoo has a soft, jelly-like texture, and I was disappointed that it didn't lather at all, probably because I had wax all over my hair that day. As for the scent, I like it, but I think some people might dislike it. It's a damask rose and blackcurrant scent, and the distinctive rose scent is quite strong. However, since it's designed to treat frizz, I was pleased that my frizz was better than usual the next morning.
