*Love* this! As other reviewers have mentioned, the Honey scent is intense and long lasting, which I really enjoy. My hands aren't terribly dry, they just get dry and tight from over-washing, so...

Price: WAY too expensive for the amount you get ($12 U.S. for 1.7 oz/.50 ml) Packaging: Poor. Too much is left in the tube that you can't get out at the end -- it's a waste...

I received this in a swap & absolutely love it. I had tried the body balm before & adored that, but the hand cream is easier to use as it's in a tube, as opposed to the body balm which is in a pot....

I received a sample tube of this from a friend who bought it for herself but didn't like it. I thought I would love it, and at first sniff from the tube I thought it smelled lovely. It was also...

It's a close call to L'Occitane's Shea hand cream, but not close enough. It dries into a funny finish. Almost powder-like, whereas L'Occitane's gives the illusion of continuous hydration. Plesant...

When I first purchashed the smaller tube of this, I was a little leery because of the sweet smell. I am usually a light floral or fruity scent person, but sweet (not so sure). Well, the honey did...

This smells friggin awesome. Like pure honey dripping off your skin. Usually honey scented products stink, but not this beauty. Unfortunately, it is ridiculously expensive and I don't think I'll...

the smell is decadent. rich, sweet, and creamy. it is a thick hand creme that absorbs quickly. little pricey ($21 for 5.2oz tube,) but so worth it.

I love this hand cream! It is by far the best. It makes my hands feel so soft. It is a little expensive but this little tube lasts for a long time. I also love the scent. It is very hard to...

The smell is fabulous. I bought it for that very reason. The cream is thick and spreads fairly easily. The moisturizing properties don't last very long, though. I love to use this right before bed...

Excellent soothing handcream for dry skin. I personally love the sweet honey smell and prefer it over L'Occitane's Shea Hand Cream but I can imagine that it's not for everyone. So try it before...

I really like this product. I am pretty loyal to L'Occitane's Shea Butter hand cream, but decided to give this stuff a try. It is packaged very similar to L'Occitane, with a metallic plastic tube...

I love this! Made in provence- smells just like the honey line from loccitane. It also smells just like real honey to me- I will definitely be repurchasing this! And backups!

Le Couvent des Minimes Repairing Hand Cream is as thick as the line's body balm. A little blurb from the tube "Formula 102 combines a high concentration of Shea butter with soothing Honey extract...

I find this pretty average in terms of softening my hands, but the scent is absolutely amazing! It's a really true, sweet honey scent, but with a mysterious "something else" that I can't put my...

I didn't like this. It absorbed into my hands and didn't feel greasy, but it made them very sticky. It was unpleasant and I had to wash it off. Does smell just like honey, though. I would not...

Love this hand cream. I have never used a hand cream as good as this one. The product sinks into my skin the second I apply it. It's MADE IN FRANCE, which is a bonus for me!!

I purchased the trial sized tube. It seemed to smell nice in the store, but now I have to come to find the stink to be ungodly. A bit like honey, but not like real honey, kinda chemically. It...
