Eau de Citron Noir Hair and Body Gel

Terrible packaging

I bought this to use as a bath/shower gel because I enjoyed the eau de toilette. However, while a heavy glass bottle would seem elegant, it was a bit unwieldy to have around the bath tub. Much worse is the pump. It delivers only a tiny blob of product, and it is stiff. You have to operate the pump maybe 20 times to get enough product onto a sponge or your palm to achieve any kind of lather. And since you're holding a heavy glass bottle while doing this, it isn't exactly ergonomic or safe. Actually, if I were older/suffered from anything like arthritis I'd be pretty annoyed at how terrible this is. I ended up just unscrewing the whole pump and pouring it onto the sponge. Also. While the scent was nice to begin with, it stays around the bath and anything you use it on for.ever. A sharp, rasping note in the lemon/bergamot which lingered for literally weeks on the sponge. I still do like the actual eau de toilette but this is a seriously pricey dud. I can't believe this bottle went through any rigorous product development.
