The hydration level isn't great, so I'll only be using it for its scent.

I absolutely adore the fragrance. The quality is excellent, and it feels more natural compared to artificially created perfumes.

Those concerned about hydration should consider that it may not have long-lasting moisturizing effects.

Vegan product. Absorbs well without feeling heavy. Pleasant intense pine scent when first applied (doesn't linger long).

As mentioned, it's not very rich, so the moisturizing effect doesn't last long in winter. As a result, I find myself reapplying frequently, which means I go through the product quite quickly. Unlike other brands that use paper packaging to reduce plastic waste, this one comes in a plastic wrapper, which is disappointing. I've occasionally seen unpackaged versions, and I wish they would increase the availability of those instead.

The scent is absolutely delightful. As someone who usually dislikes floral fragrances, I'm thrilled to have finally found a hand cream with a woody aroma. I hope more products with this kind of scent become available. The lightweight texture makes it perfect for applying during summer without feeling heavy.

The packaging seems prone to getting dirty easily. It's not wrapped in plastic, so the barcode sticker is stuck directly on the body of the product packaging, leaving marks when removed.

A scent that ignites my passion... A fragrance that sets my preferences ablaze... Oh my... I absentmindedly tried the tester at Olive Young, and before I knew it, I had already paid and was walking out with it in hand. For those who love herbal, woody, and citrus scents, I wholeheartedly recommend this. My hands aren't even dry, but I keep applying it just to smell it, so the amount is quickly diminishing. Constantly sniffing it like some kind of scent-obsessed weirdo is just a bonus. I saw some reviews saying this line's fragrance isn't pretty and rather disappointing, but for my pine tree-like tastes, it's a hand cream I can use with absolute joy and without worrying about the ingredients. The hydration is just average, but I keep reapplying, so my hands are always moisturized.

I've spent well over a million won on Aromatica products and usually enjoy their scents, but this hand cream series is a bit disappointing. I'm puzzled why they didn't go for a more appealing fragrance. I hastily chose this one after trying all the testers, but next time I'll give the jasmine scent a try. The 50ml size is convenient for carrying around, though.

I had been eyeing this new release and planning to buy it. Luckily, I snagged it for just 6,000 won during a recent sale at Olive Young. I'm really pleased that lavender extract is the main ingredient.

When you first apply it and rub it in, it has a scent reminiscent of those mint candies you might find in a restroom...

Ever since I discovered this, it's the only one I use! It applies smoothly and has a refreshing scent similar to tea tree that I absolutely love. For someone like me who enjoys clean, crisp fragrances, this product is truly addictive!

It runs out quickly even when using small amounts. The fragrance might be polarizing for some users.

The texture absorbs well and quickly, with a smooth application that doesn't feel sticky afterwards. While not exactly my preference, it has a distinct sandalwood scent. It's not too rich, making it suitable for frequent reapplication, especially if you wash your hands often.

• The moisturizing effect doesn't last very long.
• The packaging is minimalist with just a plastic wrap, which makes the product look less pristine from the start. Not recommended as a gift.

• It dries to a non-oily, powder-like finish, so it's not ideal for outdoor use in winter.

Vegan beauty product: A cruelty-free vegan formula that uses natural essential oils instead of synthetic fragrances for animal protection.

Refreshing pine scent: As someone who loves woody fragrances (I even use Diptyque's Tam Dao perfume), I was pleasantly surprised. The moment you apply it, you're greeted with an intense pine aroma.

Absorbs well: My hands tend to be quite dry, so I always carry hand cream. This one absorbs so quickly that you can use your keyboard right after application without leaving any residue. Highly recommended for office workers!

It leaves my arms feeling moisturized when I apply it up to my elbows. When my nose was chapped, I quickly applied some under my nose, and since the ingredients are gentle, it felt comfortable to use.

I wish the scent was a bit stronger... It would be nice if it lasted as long as a perfume... (Though that wouldn't be possible with natural fragrances, I suppose...)

The scent is beautifully natural. As someone who dislikes artificial fragrances, it's exactly like mixing essential oils with an unscented body cream. Personally, I love woody/lavender/pine needle scents, so this is perfect for me. It's not sticky and feels hydrating. I'm curious how it'll perform in the depths of winter though.
