I have tried so many tanners. This one is by far the best. It goes on so easy, a little goes a long way. No sticky, thick feeling while applying or after it is on. The smell is minimal. I used it one day, then took a day off from it. Used it again the next day. That afternoon hubs said, "Your legs look nice". the second time I applied it, I noticed the scent a little more, but it is a sweet smell, not that strong smell that others have. I have bought a few for friends, and told several others about it. Well worth the price!
