I love the two Meishoku Organic Rose items I picked up in April. Absolutely love.

First the “hair water.” It’s been great to use in the mornings before blow drying. It was especially helpful during summer on a sun-tortured scalp. It mostly leaves my scalp feeling moisturized but it also adds a nice but light texture to my hair as well. If I’m running late in the morning I’ll just use this and blow dry. It gives my hair a nice sleek look without looking completely undone. Smooths flyaways and helps with damaged ends.

Oh and smells great! Of course! Like fresh rose.
It’s a light scent and not too overpowering. Described as “fruity rose.”

It can be used on towel dry hair or completely dry hair. The scent is extremely subtle when used on towel dry hair. When used on dry hair the scent is more apparent like a body spray. I tend to use it before blow drying, to protect my hair from the styling heat but it’s often used as a refresh spray for bedhead or messy hair after going out because it “cuts” the smell of food and tobacco. It’s also silicone-free. I think it might be really good for static come winter! I end up with really electrified hair during winter months.

OH GOD, and now this exists too!?

The second product I have is the Organic Rose Skin Conditioning Gel. It’s a clear gel that moisturizes and tightens. I mostly use this on days I wash my makeup off after work. It gives my skin a nice extra boost of moisture. I use it a few times a week. It smells amazing and does a great job plus the jar lasts. Though I think it’s too tacky of a gel to use in the morning before applying makeup. I’ve only ever used it when I knew I’d be makeup-free.

I said this before but, again, I regret not buying the toner of this series. Also there’s a new moisturizing cream out now that I would love to try.

CANMAKE put out a limited edition Make Me Happy perfume called Venus Rose.

I have the hand lotion of this fragrance already so I gave the perfume a try!

It’s available here on Yesstyle.

“Dazzlingly feminine scent reverberates with the classic and much loved scent of an English rose garden. Delicate pink bottle houses a lovely daytime scent that envelops the senses with the fresh and charming scent of freshly picked roses.”

The packaging is a bit what you might expect from the drugstore brand CANMAKE. The box it comes in is plastic, though beautifully designed. The cap to the bottle is a bit flimsy plastic, but the bottle itself is impressive for the materials used. It has a beautiful shape and color. It fits in nicely next to my Bvlgari fragrances.

The fragrance! Oh it’s nice! It’s a fresh cut English rose scent. Very similar to Paul Smith’s Rose but not as bold and a little more romantic. Its scent is sweet but also a bit sexy too! It’s the most romantic rose fragrance of my collection now. The fragrance lasts a few hours but needs touch ups later on in the day.

Top Note
Sweet and sour juicy cassis & raspberry: Fruity notes!

Middle Note
Leafy Green Rose: The scent of Rose is overflowing with femininity!

Last Note
Amber Musk, Sandalwood: giving off a sexy vibe.
