    Guess I'll need to start offering a scenting option in the store. :happy088

    A scent would be interesting, but I enjoy it as is. Bill, didn't you receive your first jar scented?

    Oh, and have I mentioned that JoAnna Rocks! ::git

    The first jar that I sent out as samples, no. The second one I received JoAnna scented with 4711 FO for me.

    ::git Yes, the lady does ROCK! ::git

    Why exactly is it called "the thing"? :)

    Jeff, it was JoAnna that first used the name THING, just to keep it a mystery from me while before I tried it.

    Bill, as always, your information is very helpful. It sounds like a very nice "thing"!

    How well does adding a scent to it cover up its existing scent? I realize it is only mildly fragrant to begin with, but it seems like it might not jive too well with just any added scent.

    Something strong I'm sure would overpower it just fine, and something compatible would probably work okay, but there are things that seem like they might just get mudded up when mixed in. Something floral or something spicey for example. Just a thought.

    The smell is downright obnoxious and the lathering a trifle on the "runny" side. The moisturization is average. The skin does not feel soft.

    All in all a very ordinary cream. I wonder how others are raving about this.

    You must have gotten a bad tub.

    so....will there be more? Just saw this thread today, never heard of the stuff. But I checked it out in the store and saw the pretty "sold out" sign.

    Probably, but there is so much out of stock, that it is low on the list. But I have several folks who like to keep it on hand. So I have to get it for them.

    To me this stuff is pretty good, but not as good as everyone said previously. I wouldn't consider the lather runny by any means though, but it is a bit different. I do find it very hard to screw up though; a little too little water and it performs well, a little to much and it performs just as well. It seems to have a pretty wide goldilocks zone. Scent....sorta waxy with a definite faint cocoa odor, but I can see where apple or pear is used to describe the scent as well. Noses are weird and scent is so very subjective.

    The "Thing" is weird but good.
