Thoughts: When it comes to hand creams, I'm always in need. I'm constantly washing my hands throughout the day and need to hydrate. When I received an email about these products, I was so excited they were sending me some.
Here's a closer look at Cucumber & Lotus.

Here's a swatch of the hand cream on my hand.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, all of them have scents. It all depends on the scents. Some are stronger than others. Cucumber & Lotus is refreshing and smells like cucumber. I can see myself wearing it during spring/summer season. Earl Grey & Blackberry is hard to distinguish because I have no clue how earl grey is supposed to smell like. I do smell slight blackberry but it's very minimal. Pineapple & White Amber is another hard one. I have no clue how white amber is supposed to smell like, but there's a hint of pineapple. Rose & Prosecco is another. I have no clue how prosecco smells like and there's a minimal hint of rose. White Tea & Fig has no hint of fig whatsoever or at least I don't smell it. Yuzu & Ginger has a lemony scent to it and this is another good one for spring/summer. The rest is good for fall/winter because they have a hint of muskiness. Secondly, I love the packaging. It's small and the design, bird characters, on the packaging is oh so cute! There's a picture of a bird riding a bike, swimming, and so on. It matches with the brand name. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of plastic tube but it seems very firm. The top is also sturdy. It's made out of thick plastic and I can feel a tight seal when I open/close the top. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For that reason, it's travel-friendly. The smallness of the packaging makes it easy to throw in your purse and bag. Third, the consistency is medium. It's not too thick for oily skin and not too thin for dry skin. It's a good consistency. It's light-weight and easily absorbs into the skin. It leaves a nice, smooth, soft texture with slight shininess. There's no grease and stickiness. It feels good on the skin or at least I think that every time I apply the hand cream. Best of all, it's hydrating. My skin loves this product! Lastly, I'm so glad this came into my life. It's hydrating, smells good, and I feel great. I wanted to write why ScentBird created these hand creams.

"You spritz on the usual amount of fragrance every morning, but during the chiller months, you aren't sweating like you did in the summer so your body heat cannot intensify the scent as easily or naturally which results in you smelling like an old ski jacket. Gross.

So, in addition to the cold stripping you of moisture in your skin, you now have to think about how you fragrance?

Scentbird knows that the struggle is real and has created six, top notch, carefully curated hand creams that aren't only deliciously creamy and deeply moisturizing - but are also are delicately fragranced to last all day. Not to mention they are the cutest thing ever!"

I took this from the email and I think it's a genius idea! Like I said earlier some scents are stronger than others. Some will last a long time on me and some doesn't. With that said, the scents are not overwhelming like perfumes. It's light and extremely comfortable. My favorite has to be Cucumber & Lotus and Yuzu & Ginger. It's because I like refreshing scents over muskiness. I highly recommend checking these out!
