I’m a lady sure but I’m not a particularly girly girl, I was a tomboy growing up and have never worn a pink item of clothing! But rose, traditionally seen as the most feminine of flowers, I completely and utter adore. The scent though more than the flowers themselves. There are a million different rose scents from fresh and sweet to sensual and sizzlingly sexy.
Aside from the intoxicating smell, rose has an array of benefits that make it great for the skin. Rose oil is antibacterial, healing, anti-inflammatory, nourishing and hydrating and is used in aromatherapy to soothe the mind.
I just did a quick tour of my home and here are all the products containing roses (not including perfumes) that I currently have
