Review on Caldrea CounterTop Spray Cleaner - Gilded Balsam Birch Scent, 16 Oz | Made With Vegetable Protein Extract by Jen Schuelke

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Disappointed in the fragrance and dryness

I love Caldera's Sea Salt Neroli fragrance, so took a gamble on this Gilded Balsam Birch, even though it's clear from other reviews that people either really like it or don't. I was hoping for a Christmas-y Balsam Fir plus Cardamom (one of the listed ingredients, and a major spice in our Norwegian Christmas cooking/cookies!) - but it's anything but that. It just smells like generic perfume - I don't know how else to describe it - which is not something I'm fond of; and, yes, it is a very strong fragrance. You might like it! Not me. Going to take another gamble on the Rosewater Driftwood next month, since that scent has had very favorable reviews and appeals to me in name and description.I gave this product 3 stars for the labeling that doesn't match the fragrance; and for its description as "moisturizing," whereas I found it to be quite drying to my already-dry skin. I actually do think it's a good value for its size, if you like the fragrance and aren't counting on it to moisturize.

Pros
  • Health & Household
Cons
  • Can cause allergic reactions if not used properly
