Fragrance has never been a category that excites me, it is the one aspect of the beauty realm that I haven’t quite dived into but since the start of this year I have definitely developed a keener interest. I want to smell nice. I want people to compliment me and tell me I smell good. I think that is universally a great compliment to receive and plus scent is such a comforting, personal thing. How cool is it that certain fragrances remind of you of different people. Why would you not want a signature scent? My key trouble with standard perfumes is that they finish so quickly, plus they can either be too light meaning you have to spray it again every 3-4 hours or too heavy which means you feel like you are asphyxiating yourself first thing in the morning. The answer to all my prayers came in this surprisingly tiny clear bottle from Cult Beauty and is simply called Rose Perfume Oil by Kai (£40).
Personally, I wouldn’t describe it as a rose scent at all. I detest rose-scented products. This perfume oil smells both fresh and floral at the same time with a strange kind of warmth that I find really comforting. It contains the scents of a lot of white flowers and cucumber and is designed to evoke the fresh fragrance of an English country garden. I think the touch of rose adds that feminine note. The best part is that it will last on your skin until you shower pretty much. It’s fantastic. The small bottle has a tiny roller ball applicator and you just apply it on your pulse points. I like to apply it on my wrists and neck. It is not overpowering but is still there, if you know what I mean. It is so convenient to carry around, especially in the summer when the streets start to heat up and I don’t know about you but where I live the scent of weed permeating the air is really strong in the summer so having this on hand helps a lot with that. I am so keen to try out the original Kai Perfume Oil, I will definitely be purchasing that once I finish this. It does cost a whopping £40 for 3.6ml which is ridiculous when you see the size of a bottle, but I do think it would take months and months to finish it and more importantly I have never smelt a scent like this one before. It is exactly what I look for in a fragrance, they have a spray perfume in the same scent as well. Such a brilliant find, I received this product from Cult Beauty but this review, like all my reviews, is my own opinion. If it sucked, I would tell you. I hope you all had a brilliant bank holiday weekend. Thank you for reading. Take care.
