At first I wasn't a fan of the smell, but, after I used it on actual cuts, scrapes, bites, chapped lips, etc., I now see what all the fuss is about. I put some on a painful scrape my son had, and he looked at me with wide-eyed wonder and said, Bruh, i.e. he was amazed the pain stopped immediately. I did something similar with my husband and he looked surprised and asked What IS this? Why did that work? I dunno... but it does! I've been neglecting my poor Huckleberry since this is awesome on chapped lips. I don't even mind the smell anymore; it's strong, but kind of wholesome and, with some imagination, almost delicious... I guess it has grown on me. Now it smells like healing. Someone here described it as a Balm of Gilead, which is accurate to what it does, so that's what I call it now. I bought the Balsam Fir stick to compare, and it's nice if you like smelling like pine, but the Balm of Gilead works better. Makes a great gift too, with biodegradable packaging that puts my faith back in humanity.
