BEST HAND SOAP!!
Such a great, clean scent and looks so chic on my bathroom counter! I was struggling with my hands drying out from hand sanitizers and other hand washes and have not had this issue what so ever. I will absolutely be repurchasing.

Every bathroom needs these!
Style: Sprays + Candle
I received two small bottles of this last Christmas as a stocking stuffer from a friend. My husband and I used them and were quite impressed. I ordered three more bottles for each bathroom. I initially thought these were more of a "joke" for guests visiting but soon realized these are the real deal. My husband isn't much into these type of things and leaves them up to me but now he tells me when I need to order more. They make the bathroom smells so fresh and the scent lasts a long time covering up any unpleasant odors. I spray them regardless after I clean our bathrooms as they make my bathrooms feel so "clean" and they are a decent size. No leaking....just a simple couple of sprays and the bathrooms smells great. I love all of the products from this line and use them frequently. Nice seller too. Ships quickly and good packaging. These are definitely worth buying!

Instant fresh smell
Style: Sprays + Candle
I bought this bc a friend of mine had the tiny bottle for her cat. It smells great. I have three inside dogs. This is a great spray to use for your home to smell fresh instantly. Also I like the candle too.

It works, but others work better
Style: Sprays + Candle
The product does help if you have dogs. It has a hint of a cinnamon smell to the product
Unfortunately I would say Febreeze product for pet smells works much better. I guess poo-pouring can’t have a winner every time with every smell.
