The last post I did about Soap&Glory was a raving review of their body wash, so I'm a little sad to say that I hate their body scrub. First off, the scent does not match the delicious fragrance of the wash, instead, it smells sort of like a hospital hallway. Okay, I know that sounds odd, but it's like a mix of disinfectant and old people. I actually get nauseous every time I smell it. Second, it hardly scrubs at all. I know you don't want the scrub peeling off layers of skin, but I would like to feel a little exfoliation. Third, this scrub actually dries out skin. It contains mostly sea salt and while it does contain almond oil, clearly there is not enough in it to keep my skin hydrated. And my dry skin is a very unhappy skin. Especially when it smells like a hospital. Contrary to popular belief, the smell of old people, disinfectant and rubbery chicken - not sexy.
I have to disagree. I think Flake Away is a great product. I thought it was actually a pretty harsh scrub, but it makes my legs feel amazingly smooth. One of my favorite products by far!

I don't know if they have changed the scent since you have used it.. but it smells just like their other products.
Leaves my skin smooth and soft.

Actually this is the only scrub I tried that does NOT dry out my skin it leaves it sooo smooth I don't even nedd to apply lotion afterwards. I think maybe you might had a bad batch cause the smell to me smells great it smeels like peach but the smell is very light. This is a great product I love it.
