This moisturiser, like all the other Palmer's products smells amazing! Personally I don't notice the normal self-tan scent cause the yummy chocolate smell is very strong. While you are applying this it literally smells like you are smearing melted chocolate all over your body.

You apply this gradual tanner just like a normal body lotion. It's quite thick and takes a few minutes to absorb into your skin. For me this lotion is more like a self tanner and not a gradual tanner. After one application my skin already had a full tan. This meant my first application was streaky as I wasn't expecting that much colour. But my other applications were fine as I put a lot less on.

I did notice after showering the next day the tan got a bit patchy, so I felt like I had to use it every day to keep the glow. The colour isn't bad, on some areas it looks more natural then other areas. But like most gradual tanners this eventually looks orange after too many applications.

This is one of the more expensive gradual tanners, but if you like Palmer's products and you love the smell (like me) then this is a great option.
