Grown Alchemist: Hydra-Repair Day Cream

Drizzly. 84 Degrees.

Might be odd that I'm writing about a facial moisturizer in a perfume blog, but the scent of this cream is so light and lovely that I wanted to give it a mention.

I happened to see it at a discount store and was pleasantly surprised that the ingredients were solid. It was a steal, so I bought it never having heard of the brand before. And soon after, a perfume shop that I follow on social media mentioned this brand and one of their salespersons raved about the scent being a summery "orange creamsicle".

Alright. There is definitely a whiff of tangerine in here. It's more of a juicy citrus-floral. But not the heady hothouse flowers. Grown Alchemist lists camellia and geranium on the front, as the primary scents and I think that those are probably the best two notes to go by. If I didn't know the ingredient list, I would swear it was palmarosa. It is a rose-adjacent scent. More like rosehips with the juicy tang, and it does have rosehip oil as a major ingredient.

Anyway, lovely lotion. I can't wear it on my face as it feels to greasy but I have been very happy using it as a hand cream and will be keeping a lookout for it.
