The bottle (pump included) is strong: we understand that we can use refills without problems. The almond scent is super nice and makes me think of the smell Cleopatra glue that was used at the primary school in the 80's (I speak of a time that the age of 20 ... ). The product is manufactured in France and contains no allergens.
