It has a strong scent, so I'm using it as a hand wash. The lather forms quite well.

I find it inconvenient to open and close the lid, I wish it had a pump dispenser instead.

This is my first glorious review. I received the all-in-one essence from the brand as a gift with purchase and have been using it. Unlike facial cleansers and cosmetics, I tend to be more lenient when it comes to body products. As long as there are no major visible issues, I generally accept and use them. Anyway, here's my user review. The texture is quite thin and viscous, like a liquid slime mixed with lotion. The color is a faint, hazy sky blue, not particularly pretty. The lather is quite moderate - not overly bubbly, but not completely flat either, just average. I imagine the scent is what most people are curious about, given that it's called a 'perfume wash'. The fragrance is a soft, subtle version of a typical men's skin care lotion scent, blending a fresh, masculine note with a mild soap aroma.

There are quite a few potentially allergenic ingredients in this product. I'm someone who sneezes when using Jo Malone's Blackberry & Bay cologne, and while this perfume wash didn't cause direct sneezing like the cologne, it does make my nose feel slightly itchy and a bit drowsy. I suspect I'm reacting to the overlapping allergens between the two products. Those who also experience strong reactions to the Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay cologne should be cautious when using this. Additionally, the cap on this product, as well as the previous all-in-one shower product from the same brand, is incredibly difficult to open. I've had to pry it open with my nails, almost ripping them off. For those with short, blunt nails, you'll likely need to use some leverage to get the cap open when trying to use the product. The brand seems to have not addressed this user complaint from the previous product. And lastly, I find this product to be quite overpriced. While I generally like the brand's offerings, the prices are a bit steep, so I likely won't repurchase this even though I got to try it as a gift.

If you sneeze when using Jo Malone's Blackberry & Bay cologne, you should avoid this product.
