Antipodes creams from New Zealand

So I was in the beauty workshop section of selfridges and I had a wee browse of the Antipodes section.  I was in the market for a new hand cream and I had heard good things about Deliverance hand cream.
This is £16 and contains Kowhai Flower, avocado oil, orange and cedar wood.  The cream absorbs very quickly leaving your mitts nice and supple for a couple of hours.  It withstands two hand-washings.  I love the smell of this when you first apply it but then the scent of it turns to an sickly sweet playdoh marzipan smell.  It's not offensive but because of this after scent I don't think I'll be re-purchasing this again.

Next up is Joyful hand and body cream.  It's and jaw dropping £25 for a 120ml tube and I'm still deciding if its worth it.  The ingredients are hibiscus flower, blackcurrant and avocado oil.  It smells DIVINE absolutely heavenly.  It absorbs straight away, and surprisingly a little goes a long way.
I was pretty impressed with both my creams.  They smell gorgeous and they do what they say on the tube.  I'm looking forward to buying other bits from the brands.  What bits do you own from antipodes? Any recommendations? Thx for reading. Carrie x
