Any recommendations? I feel like i need something richer for the winter weather...
And nothing fragranced with strawberries or cocoa etc... the smell makes me feel sick.

Heanw, you're on my wavelength....that is the one i currently use! 
Recently, i've started to find the smell of the hemp too strong, hence why i wanted other alternatives.

Eucerin regular body lotion, fragrance free...the best thing ever made.

I recently discovered products by L'Occitane after LOVING their Lavender Vinegar (thank you AngelWings)..
Some days are a complete waste of make-up!

Body shop's Vitamin E hand cream is good. I love extra virgin olive oil for hands and feet, its an awesome moisturiser without being oily and greasy.
I miss you

Thanks for the suggestions Shum! I rub olive oil onto my nails/cuticles most nights.... may as well massage it onto my hands as well!

Maroush, have you ever tried grapeseed oil in place of olive oil? It has no smell, absorbs really nicely, and supposedly has great anti-aging properties. I dab it on the corners of my eyes at night and also dab it on spots (sounds counterintuitive, but it actually helps heal them.)
And I'm giving another thumbs up to the occitane hand cream. In addition to the original shea butter dry skin hand cream, they also have a 'shea butter vanilla' formula that has a very, very light but nice vanilla scent but otherwise the same ingredient mix.

I use either coconut oil or olive oil. It gets very dry where I live and nothing else seems to work. I slather it on my hands, put on some cotton gloves and by morning, my hands are nice and smooth.
