Coconut, vanilla and... flowers?
I love all of the Cake line, but probably love the Coconut/Vanilla items the most. This is a good addition if you're already a fan, but has a very slightly different scent to the hand crème. If this is your first Cake product, then you won't notice that, and it's well worth the investment. A little really does go a long way.

Pros
Long-lasting scent, thick, a little goes a long way
Cons
Might be too sweet, cheap bottle cap
I was excited when I first found out that the Cake line of products were being sold on EF. I'd wanted to try them for a while, and I'm very glad I did.
I have now tried all of the scents offered, and the Coconut is probably still my favorite. I expected this to be exactly the same as the hand crème (that's sadly been discontinued), but it's actually not quite identical.
I checked out the ingredients list too, and while the hand crème is about 90% similar, there are one or two little differences, with the body lotion being made with:
Water/Eau (Aqua), Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric triglyceride, Cetyl alcohol, Stearic acid, Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) seed oil, Cocos nucifera (Coconut) oil, Macadamia integrifolia seed oil, Mangifera indica (Mango) alcohol, Isopropyl palmiate, Dimethicone, Vitamin E (Tocopheryl acetate), Aloe barbadensis leaf juice, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sorbic Acid, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Tetrasodium EDTA
Scent-wise, again this is about 90-95% identical to the Coconut hand crème, but there's a fairly strong background aroma of what I can only describe as flowers. It's not heavy enough to be rose; it's something else. Lavender perhaps, although that might be too strong, too. Whatever it is, it's there as an underlying hint. Now that I type this, I'm thinking it's more a sort of French vanilla rather than "just" vanilla. As you can tell, it's very hard to describe. It's not unpleasant though, but the body lotion leans even more toward the feminine than the hand lotion does.
The consistency is pretty thick, and is actually thick enough to stay in place once you squeeze some out onto your hand. That's another difference between this and the hand crème, which had a good consistency, but is still a little thinner than this. The Body Lotion comes in a reasonably-sized 8.5oz plastic bottle with a pop-up cap. A word of warning on the cap, though: it's very flimsy, and if you twist the cap too tightly it will actually snap in half. I've had that happen on two bottles of this now, and it's annoying!
I've found that the scent will last for a few hours, so this is pretty cost-effective despite the mid-range price tag. It absorbs well into the skin and doesn't get greasy.
