So I can definitely see some of the fragrances being a problem, especially for people with allergies and sensitivities, - botanicals can be risky. I'd check the ingredients lists and still go for shorter ingredients lists with tried and tested stuff with fewer variables in that case. I don't know how their products are now that they seem to be making a marketing push in Europe. The company now has a lot of other random new stuff, like a bunch of different spas and even "hair contests", too?
I had no clue about it being so known in Russia. I actually thought it was a Polish brand or some such due to the writing on the bottles!

Nice of you to warn us all about the scents.
