The fragrance is really nice, but it's not the kind that has good lasting power.
Cons
The fragrance is nice, but the moisturizing power is not that great. The moisturizing power is low compared to the price.

Pros
Undoubtedly, the scent is the highlight. It has a woody and spicy character, which I believe captures the essence of Aesop's identity well. Additionally, the fragrance has better longevity compared to Rinde or Geranium. It also layers nicely with other Aesop fragrances. However, blending with Rinde or Geranium may not have the same effect.
Cons
The downside is that Aesop's product lines tend to lack moisture for me. I'm not sure if it's due to their inherently dry nature, but their body and hand skin care lines generally have this issue. While they leave a non-greasy, fresh finish, they may be insufficient, especially during the winter. It's best to use their core products and rely on this fragrance as a supplementary option.
Tip
Layering this with Eremia can enhance the distinct greenery and woody notes. This could be a good option for those who found the fragrance's longevity lacking.

Pros
The formula has a smooth and creamy texture. After application, there is a slight dewy finish. I really enjoy the woody and soothing fragrance, which is very relaxing.
Cons
It feels slightly tacky. There is one questionable ingredient, so I'll give it 3 stars.
Tip
The fragrance is wonderful! It's a unique, woody scent, not like regular pepper.

Pros
The scent was pleasant, and it didn't feel overly greasy or shiny, which I liked.
Cons
The packaging always feels quite dirty as soon as I start using it.
Tip
I think this would be particularly good for those who dislike stickiness. Moreover, the non-greasy texture is even more satisfying. The scent is Aesop's signature naturalistic fragrance, which is quite pleasant. It seems like a good item for gifting. For those who use body creams quite liberally, a week's worth would probably be enough. Haha, that's how I am. Hahaha I don't want to blame the packaging, but somehow, from the moment you start using it, the aluminum container starts to look distorted. By the time it's about half used, the style is gone, and it looks messy. It's a highly personal opinion, but I think the constant oozing of the cream due to air pressure mismatch inevitably makes the opening area look dirty.

Pros
If you enjoy Aesop's signature botanical and spicy woody fragrances, you will likely appreciate this product. The black pepper and patchouli notes are very sophisticated. I use it as a hand balm, and it absorbs quickly without feeling sticky or slippery.
Cons
There are no downsides that I can see. However, the fragrance may be too heavy for summer use.

Pros
It is very moisturizing and has great hydration. My skin type is not exactly dry, it's just about right. The woody scent is also very pleasant~ It reminds me of the earthy fragrance after the rain. Plus, the satisfaction that comes with the Aesop brand is quite significant. It's great, great!
Cons
There's really nothing disappointing about it. If I had to find one, it would be that it can't be stood up.

Pros
This is a product I purchased at the duty-free shop while on a business trip. The thick, creamy texture is nice, and if you enjoy the refreshing Aesop signature scent, this would be a suitable option to use.
Cons
Looking at the price and ingredients, I'm a bit disappointed. However, I didn't notice any major issues when using it. I found the packaging a bit inconvenient, but I was able to use it up without tearing or unraveling it. I used to be a big Lush fan, but then I switched to Aesop products. Now, due to the price, I've moved on to other more affordable yet high-value products.

Pros
The night was satisfactory in every way, with excellent spreadability, absorption, and moisturizing properties. If you enjoy a spicy yet woody scent, this product will be a perfect match.
Cons
None. However, if you prefer a light fragrance, you may find this product challenging to use.
Tip
I am currently using the Aesop Korean Seed Body Cleanser along with the Hwahae Trial Reviewer, and I have been repurchasing it for several bottles now as the synergistic effect has been truly remarkable.

Pros
I just bought it because the scent was nice, but I also like the thick texture! It's perfect for using after a shower in the dry, cold winter. The scent is personally one that I like, but it might be polarizing as it has a slightly masculine vibe. I'll be using this for a long time!
Cons
The longevity doesn't feel as long-lasting as the thick texture would suggest. The price isn't very affordable either haha. As I use it up, the packaging feels a bit inconvenient. A pump type would probably be better.
