According to sephora.com this is what the product is and what it does:

Again, according to sephora.com:

What is the texture like?

I'd describe the texture as being liquid-y, like a water. 

Is it scented?

This has a very true rose scent. 

My overall experience/comments on the product:
This toner leaves my skin feeling very soft and silky, kind of like a rose petal. I love the way it smells but personally I prefer toners with a thicker consistency that add a bit more hydration. This worked alright and felt refreshing but I just didn't love it the way I was hoping to. I mean frankly I was hoping to like the way it works because I like the way it smells but alas.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
