ummm cake!
if you like the smell of orange and cream, this might be worth a shot. It smells great and does a wonderful job at moisturizing while it cleans. Whatever you do, just don't eat it.

Pros
good price on the set, smells great
Cons
thin plastic bottle for the body wash
I purchased this gift set for my wife. She loves body lotions and hand creams. And I love Orange and Cream. So a win win situation for the both of us.
The body wash and hand creme are packed with ingredients that nourish and rejuvenate dry skin. There is nothing worse then getting out of the shower and feeling like your skin is covered with a dry, itchy film. Most soaps leave us feeling that way. Partly because of our hard water, but also because most soaps have cheap ingredients that do nothing to leave your skin feeling soft.
The body wash has a light orange and cream smell. I can also pick up faint hints of coconut. The coconut is just barely there, you get the scent of vanilla and orange first. The wash is pretty thick, for soap. I did notice that when using this, it does not lather up quite as nice as our dove body wash. It still cleaned very well and left a nice scent on your body for hours after you step out of the shower. The wash comes in a 17.4 ounce bottle. The bottle is pretty flimsy, I do not see it lasting a drop of more then 2 feet. So please don't leave it sitting on the edge of a shelf, it would make mess if dropped. The bottle has a simply flip top cap for dispensing product.
The hand creme has the same light orange and cream scent. It has the same light after-scent of coconut mixed into the orange and cream. My wife says its not there, but I can smell it. It comes in a 3.4 ounce squeeze tube (typical packaging for hand creams). The hand cream does not leave your hands feeling greasy, like others I have tried. (I get pretty sore hands in the winter from work, so I use her non-scented hand cream sometimes) I gave this one a shot for the review, and I was surprised that I could go about my business with out leaving hand prints all over the house. The scent also stayed with you for hours. So if you are using your hands on items that you don't want to transfer strong scents to (cooking, folding laundry, ect..), you might want to wash them.
These come in a paper box. They are packaged great for gift giving. There is nothing sexy or dirty on the packaging, so it makes a great gift box for these. I know sometimes in the past, I had to get rid of the packaging to give a gift. The packaging has some information on the back, list of ingredients, info about the product, and an address where it was made. Once you open the gift box, there is no reason to keep the packaging. It does not work very well for storage.

Experience
The scent tends to stay with you for awhile. So if scents bother you, this might be a little too strong. I do pretty good with scents, but if around strong ones for more then a few minutes I begin to get headaches. This has not given me a headache yet. It is right on that tipping point, between being too strong and just right. I think it would bother me if the scent was closer to my face, instead of on my wife.
Follow-up commentary
1 month after original review
My wife uses this soap just about ever night. She loves the way it smells. She would like to to preform as well as the Dove body-wash we normally use, but its close enough. The bottle is only down about 2 inches. So I expect her to get about 5 weeks or so out of a bottle. Of course it all depends on how much you use with each wash.
The hand cream gets used by my wife and my kids. They like smelling like orange and cream ice cream. I see the tube lasting 6 months or more. You only need a little dab with each application.
I am pleased with this purchase. I would have no problem purchasing this again in the future.
