This is the first gold scrub I have ever purchased, but I've seen many different brands and types advertised all over the Internet. I really wanted to see what all the buzz was about and if it really was any different than the other scrubs available out there. First off, it legitimately looks like gold. It smells amazing. It's a very light and pleasant smell, definitely not overpowering. There are little hard particles that make it a scrub, and helps to get the dead skin off, this will leave your hands feeling very soft, or your face, wherever you plan to use it
