Smells lovely, without any chemical perfumes. It works well, but there was a learning curve for me, both with the pump (trying not to waste any of it and getting it in the sink or on my rag for washing was tricky at first) and the low suds(mental game of, is that really enough?)when using it. It was so aesthetically pleasing, that each time I bought one for me, I bought another one for a gift for a friend. I do still bring out a greenwashed bottle of other dish detergent for washing my pans after cooking bacon, mostly because I don’t know how long I can afford buying this one, so I try to save it here and there.
