I'm normally turned off by fragrant products, but this smell doesn't bother me. I will say, even though the serum is formulated with much less fragrance than the original iteration, the product still has a floral scent.

The Capture Totale Le Sérum blends hyaluronic acid with polyglycerol (a mix of hydrating glycerol and fatty acids) to create an all-day plumping effect and provide long-lasting hydration. Instead of having to reach for a barrier-restoring, moisturizing next step, you can get your fix in the same pump. Then, there’s the hydration and glow component.
