Delightful smell, and makes my hair feel and smell great. Expensive but worth looking for sales.

Pleasnat but not Deep
Orlando Bloom in leather on a motorcycle: that was all the shrieking teen girls in the audience needed apparently. For the rest of us: this has some great moments and performances. I liked the young Condola Rashād as Juliet, and the two actors who played her parents were powerful and intimidating; you could see why she would have such trouble standing up to them. Everyone else is just okay: the nurse could have been funnier, Mercutio more outrageous. The Friar seems to be some sort of commune dwelling mindfulness ascetic; possibly the horrific events of the play drove him into a gentle madness. There's also the odd racial dynamic: Caps and the Prince are Black, Monts white, but then so is everyone else.
