Pacifica's new Rose Water Sleek & Shiny Shampoo and Conditioner promise to tame even the most unruly dry or color-treated hair. I am, as always, dubious, but hopefully they smell good. $10 for 236 ml each, and there are also "Rose On Sleek Anti-Frizz Hair Wipes", 15 for $11.

5 Roses for June ~ body products review

Posted by on 40 Comments

Although I’ve garnered something of a reputation as a rose-lover over the past decade, I don’t review rose fragrances exclusively — in fact, my last rose perfume review was Sana Jardin Tiger by Her Side (November 2017) and my last rose body product review was even further back (September 2017). Since June is the month of roses, it seems like an appropriate time to update this situation! Here are a few rose-fragranced body products that I’ve recently tried.

"Warm sand, coconut milk, and ylang-ylang fragrance" is what interested me in Klorane's Ylang Ylang Protective Oil. The rest of it sounds useful too though: "This lightweight multi-protective oil with Ylang-Ylang wax that shields hair against the drying and damaging effects of UV rays, salt, sand, and chlorine. It deeply nourishes the hair and protects against color fade." $18 for 100 ml at Smallflower. Do comment if you've tried it!

Eau de Sens, from Diptyque, now comes in a hair mist: "Light and delicate, this hair mist leaves an invisible yet intensely scented veil of fragrance on the hair. Enriched with nourishing camellia oil, it fortifies, beautifies, and perfumes the hair. This new incarnation of Eau des Sens is bright and zesty, enhanced by fresh, spicy notes. After washing and conditioning your hair, finish with a cold water rinse to strengthen the capillary fibers. This will also increase hair mist longevity." $48 for 30 ml at Diptyque, where you'll also find a new Eau de Sens Cleansing Hand & Body Gel ($40 for 200 ml).
