The aroma is pleasant, a bit like roses. That's the only good thing I can say. The consistency is not putty like as pictured, more like honey or molasses. It is IMPOSSIBLE to wash it off your hands, and if it falls into a small space, it will stay there forever. I was hoping that kneading it as directed would make it firmer, but it didn't. Letting it dry didn't help either. I sent it back as defective.
