Summer roses x 4 ~ fragrance & body product reviews

Posted by Jessica on 29 July 2021 4 Comments

How has your summer been going? Mine has been feeling very transitional, very limbo-like. Covid numbers have been going down in my city; or, wait, have they? I’ve been notified that I’ll be returning to the office on a “hydrid” schedule after Labor Day. I’m enthusiastic about socializing more now that I’m vaccinated, but I’m also out of practice at dealing with people face-to-face. And I want to go perfume-shopping, but many stores are still encouraging mask-wearing and/or keeping testers and blotters out of reach, so it’s not actually a fun activity yet.

Long story short: I’m in the mood to fall back on the familiar, which for me means rose fragrances; and I’m still relying on fragrance samples that I receive from friends or in the mail. Here are a few that are new to me and made me feel like I was in my comfort zone.

From Good Flower Farm, Calendula Rose Salve: "Carefully crafted with the skin-loving herb calendula (grown organically on their farm), which they slow-infuse in organic olive oil over several weeks. What's left is a potent herbal oil that delivers its many benefits right to your body's largest organ. This salve has a very subtle scent and is gentle enough to use on young children and pets." 50g for $22 at Beautyhabit.

A simple skin toner from Lush: Eau Roma Water. "In a world of technology-loaded cosmetics, choosing a toner with just two active ingredients may seem unusual. But when those two ingredients work perfectly to calm, soothe, moisturize and balance skin, why use anything else? Rose water cools irritations and keeps redness at bay, while lavender helps to balance out the skin's oils, leaving it feeling soft and supple. Eau Roma is simple, effective skincare at its best!" $10.95 for 100g.
