  • Luxurious, hydrating body formulas
  • Sophisticated, adult-leaning fragrances

  • Overpowering fragrance intensity for some
  • Short-lived scent longevity
  • Occasionally greasy hand cream finish

Cyklar wins praise in reviews for luxe, hydrating body care that leaves skin soft—standouts include the in‑shower body oil balm, lactic acid body polish, nutrient‑rich creams, and several sophisticated scents like Sacred Santal, Vanilla Verve, and Naked Neroli—yet criticisms surface around scent strength and longevity, occasional greasy feel, and mixed deodorant performance. Reviews also note elegant packaging and an effective fragrance‑free lotion, but report issues like overpowering fragrance for some, finicky perfume oil rollerballs, and inconsistent return experiences.

  • I’ve really gotten into hand cream as I hit my 40s. Feels like my hands are always dry. I got two hand creams and wow they are gorgeous. The packaging is very bougie! The fragrances are lovely however I will say they are VERY strong. So if you don’t like the smell of your hand cream lingering I’m not sure this would be for you. I got the vanilla which I will put on before bed as it’s such a comforting smell. And I also got Neroli which is quite energizing so I’ll keep that one in my bag.

  • I tried the Cyklar Bergamot Bond Essentials Set and have been really impressed so far. The overall quality feels high, especially when it comes to the packaging — everything looks and feels thoughtfully designed, sturdy, and a bit luxe in a way that stands out on the counter. The scent is very neutral and clean, which I really like. It doesn’t lean too masculine or feminine and doesn’t feel overly synthetic or heavy, so it works well for everyday use and won’t clash with other fragrances. Formula-wise, it reminds me a lot of brands like Saltair — the textures and performance feel similar in terms of how they cleanse and moisturize. Where Cyklar really differentiates itself, at least with this set, is in the presentation. The packaging reads much more elevated and premium, which makes the whole experience feel more special. If you’re into clean, subtle scents and care about products that look as good as they perform, the Bergamot Bond set is a great pick.

  • I had to try out Cyklar after seeing all the hype and it’s been a very good experience so far. It’s lightweight, fast-absorbing, and the Naked Neroli scent smells very good, like a fresh and citrusy scent. It doesn’t feel super sticky or leave my skin feeling greasy. I recommend gettting it on sale or minis to try out!

  • The products themself feel luxe and are well scented, but for me, the fragrance was too much. It is giving me a headache and I only applied a very small amount (see photos) to my hands to feel the texture. Knowing the shower set Santal scent was too much, I did not open the deodorant. I am on the website trying to return and the web return portal will not let me return the shower set claiming it is final sale... that was never shared on the web or in the checkout process. As a first time buyer, without ever smelling the products, I would have opted for something else to try that was able to be returned. I have emailed the company and am waiting to hear back if they will except with my screen shot proof no where does it say "final sale.' EDITED THIS DOWN TO 1 STAR DUE TO SNEAKY TACTICS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE: This is the reply I received: "Unfortunately, your order is not eligible for return because the item purchased was a bundles/sets/kits. Per our Return Policy, all products in an order bundles/sets/kits do not qualify for return or refund. They are considered final sale." This is a sales tactic to get consumers to purchase without being able to return unless you are diligent about reading the return policy prior to making a purchase. It feels sneaky and underhanded. After another round of emails, the company has agreed to this "one time return."

  • I have heard some amazing things about this brand and the quality of the products. I needed a new deodorant that would help with severe sweating and odor protection. This deodorant smells like a vanilla bean ice cream cone and also has salicylic acid to help with discoloration. I can’t wait to continue using this product to see the final results I will get from continued use.

  • I find the fragrance to be a bit overpowering but I do like how my skin feels after I use the sensorial body wash. It leaves a little bit of an oil trace even after rinsing that feels like it helps hold the moisture in.

  • Okay - I may have splurged on this purchase, but I went with the Neroli Vault set that comes with the following: Sensorial Body Wash, Nutrient-Rich Body Cream, Mandelic Acid Brightening Deodorant Gel, Urea Hand Cream, Perfume Oil. Now to be honest- I have not yet tried all the products as I am finishing a few more. I was overwhelmed by the scent selection, but I do really like the Neroli - it has a bit more of a floral note to it than i was expecting - but its gentle and subtle. I've only used the deodorant a few times - but the packaging looks great, it smells lovely! Will it help with brightening - only time will tell with consistent use! The hand creammm - i love the packaging!!! and finally a lotion packaging that isn't going to bust open. It leaves my hands nice and smooth for hours - this might be a repurchase! Its thick and goes on smoothly - the smell is not over powering which we also love.

  • I’m really into the scents, packaging, and ingredients cyklar offers. I like the lactic acid exfoliater, the hand cream, the deodorant, body soap. Hand cream would make an excellent gift! I think the unscented products are the actual slept on ones!

  • I can't say enough good things about everything I ordered. I think if I had to pick a favorite, I would say the in-shower balm is my favorite. I've never seen anything like it. It really does go right on wet skin and absorbs like a dream. I still put the oil on top after I get out of the shower and the next day, for the first time in my life, I can tell that my skin is hydrated. Combine that with the glycolic acid exfoliating spray once a week and my skin is unbelievably soft and hydrated.

  • This Cyklar Naked Neroli Sensorial Body Wash is honestly one of those little shower luxuries I look forward to using. The scent is so pretty and rich, bright and fresh with that neroli floral vibe, but not too sweet or overpowering. It makes my bathroom smell amazing while I am rinsing off, and the scent actually lingers on my skin in the best way. The texture feels creamy and gentle, so it lathers nicely without ever stripping my skin or making it feel dry afterward. My skin feels clean and soft, never tight or squeaky, which is exactly what I want from a body wash. It also rinses off easily, so there is no weird slippery film left behind.

  • I've been wanting to try Cyklar for a while but hesitated because I couldn't smell the scents before committing. I got the Crescent lotion and the Santal lotion. They both smell amazing but a little more sweet/vanilla than I expected. Especially the Santal. The lotion is super lightweight and glides on nicely. I usually go for a thicker cream in the winter but I think these will be great for Spring/Summer! I definitely want to try more products.

  • I have been using Cyklar for a couple months now and love both the body washes and the body creams. The smell of Naked Neroli is divine especially if you are a fan of jasmine. The body wash has a gorgeous consistency that leaves your skin feeling supple and hydrated.

  • I have been wanting to try Cyklar for a while and I’m so glad I finally did! I am really impressed with all of their products and love the scents as well. The body wash and lotion are really incredible and the scent lasts all day.

  • I finally tried Cyklar (call it TikTok influenced) and went all in on the Vanilla Verve scent. I picked up the urea hand cream, the in shower body oil balm, and the perfume oil. First impression of the brand overall, it feels thoughtful and very scent driven. The packaging is fine, but for the price I expected it to look a little more luxe. That said, the scent absolutely delivers. Vanilla Verve is not a sugary cupcake vanilla. It’s creamy, warm, slightly spicy, and anchored by something deeper and musky. You can tell there’s amber and musk grounding it. It smells like adult vanilla. Cozy but elevated. I’ve been stopped twice now and asked what I’m wearing, lol. Layering all three products really helps the scent last, and I love that they’re designed to work together like that. The hand cream feels rich and hydrating and the scent lingers nicely. It’s sliiiightly more greasy than I personally prefer since I tend to like a more dry down finish, but it definitely softens and nourishes. The packaging on this one actually feels a bit more elevated, maybe because of the cap. The in shower body oil balm might be my favorite. It’s thick, almost like a Vaseline texture, but it melts beautifully into warm skin after you turn off the water. I’ve also used it on dry skin and it still melts in nicely. It leaves my skin soft and lightly fragranced without feeling sticky. I plan to buy this as gifts for friends! The perfume oil smells exactly like the rest of the line and lasts for hours on me, which I appreciate. It feels cozy and intimate. My only real complaint is the roller ball. Mine gets stuck constantly, so I have to use my fingers to get it moving, which means perfume oil on my hands. Not ideal. Overall, I really like Cyklar. The scent is addictive, layering works, and the body oil balm especially is a standout. It definitely makes me curious to try more from the brand.

  • I got the body wash and body cream in the scent crescent. I’ve seen SO much advertising for this brand and was excited to try. Ultimately it’s fine but not anything I’d be rushing to repurchase. The body cream is very rich and moisturizing, but the scent is incredibly strong and lingers.

  • I didn’t want to love this brand, because it’s a bit pricier than what I normally want to spend for body care. But I really do love it. The packaging, and more importantly what’s inside it, feels very luxurious. The scents are akin to a higher end fragrance company, and the formulas are down right decadent. My skin felt extremely well moisturized with all these products, and the feeling lasted all day. My favorite was the oil balm. It’s meant to be applied in shower and then gently toweled off. I expected that it wouldn’t work well, but still felt very moisturized after drying off, plus was able to get dressed right away without having to wait for the product to absorb. I just wish more product came in the tube - it doesn’t last very long at all.

  • The scent is absolutely incredible. It is elevated and strong and beautiful. I also got the hand lotion and LOVE the packaging. The neroli scent is floral forward and not as citrus so finding the right scent with Cyklar is important but once you do it is great!

  • I purchased two perfume oils from cyklar, and thought they were really worth the price. The scents were really pleasant, and since they were kind of inexpensive, I felt compelled to try a few and ones that I wouldn’t necessarily gravitate towards. I also like how the oils were great to layer under other perfumes. I think my only gripe would be the roller ball makes it so I have to roll it a few times before any product comes out- but I imagine this is good for travel/ preventing leaks. The packaging is incredibly sleek, and really resembles something that would be a lot more expensive. I’d try the other products from this brand, however I’m tempted to purchase other perfume oils given how much I like them.

  • I’m a big fan of the Cyklar body oil! The sacred santal scent smells incredible and is easy to layer with other scents, and the oil itself makes my skin feel and look hydrated without being greasy. Only cons are the price, and I feel like you have to use a lot of oil

  • I am obsessed with this brand! I recently got their body lotion, body wash, and perfume oil in the scent Sacred Santal and I truly can't get enough of it! The body wash has such a unique oil-to-lather feel that makes it feel so luxurious.
