Very pleasant smell, and ideal for pale skin!
It's got a very nice, sweet, feminine fragrance, and the texture of it is thin enough to spread a small quantity evenly. The only real downside I can find is that after it dries, it sort of clumps or peels on your skin, especially if you scratch yourself- get an itch, and you'll see globs of pale brown lotion under your nails. It's not a problem for me because I just shower a few hours after tanning, but if you were planning on going somewhere directly after, you might find it bothersome.
The bronzing aspect surpassed my expectations- I was worried it would be a quick, blotchy, orange tan like so many self-tanners. This product seems lighter and more build-able. I didn't notice a difference the first time I used it, but now, three tans later, I can see the difference.
I really like Duchess, and while I'm still searching for the perfect tanning lotion, this one didn't disappoint me at all.
