I didn't realize this serum was so fragranced, so am quite disappointed as the smell, even though it's not terribly unpleasant (just very fragrant), is a bit too much for me to use this product long term personally, unfortunately.

It is quite moisturizing and heavier (but not heavy) than your usual essence gel, so it succeeds on that, and is decent as a day time essence for fall weather, though I have yet to notice any anti-aging effects.
