Nice scent but very drying

I was really excited to try a Mrs Meyer's handsoap, but I was definitely disappointed. The scent was really nice, if a bit strong. It definitely lingers on my hands after I wash them which was kind of nice. But the soap is so drying. I've had to use moisturizer far more often than I usually do this time of year. I can't imagine how dry & cracked my hands would be if it was the middle of winter.
