This Le Couvent des Minimes Orange Blossom lip balm is currently on my lips and has been for the last 4 days.
I don't know how else to put this, but it's like perfume for your lips-without the horrible taste you get when you accidentally walk into a cloud with your mouth open. I get the sweet smell of orange blossoms that's not too strong while I wear it and the light taste of orange with an undertone of floral when I lick my lips. The balm itself is slick and shiny without being heavy and is clear on the lips.

It does a decent job of moisturizing though I wouldn't reach for it first if my lips were chapped and it has a short wear time, about 4 hours, though it does have a tendency to wear off much faster if you eat or drink.
The label highlights these ingredients: Marshmallow Extract for softness, Shea Butter to nourish, Apricot Seed Oil to protect, and Orange Blossom for aroma.
I picked up mine at Ulta for $11 for the .5 oz tube but you can use a 20% off coupon or the $3.50 off $10 that is often on their mailers.
I'm new to this French company (its based in Provence) but am happy with what I've experienced so far, so I may have to check out some other products.
Have you tried anything from Le Couvent des Minimes?
