Driven by the desire to smell of all things rose, (is this a sign that I have by passed middle aged and simply entered old lady era?)

[DarrellRivers]

Following on from a consultation with a little old lady who smelt enchantingly of scent of roses I have been on a burner today
I found this at spacenk, by terry rose cream
so gorgeous but £44
found this instead at Body shop, much better pricewise
I am now bathed and scented in rose cream
I have rose flavoured water and syrup in my cupboard to make rose scented icecreams/sorbets and creamy desserts
Is this it, am I now an old lady?
Has anyone got the By Terry cream, is it worth it?
What about some recipes for some rose flavoured desserts?

Nah. I reckon when you start craving to smell of Tweed, that's when you have become an old lady!

Korres Rose Day Cream is lovely and much cheaper

LFC, your candles are gorgeous
(am dreaming of making rose scented ones]
Now tell me more about this korre rose cream?
I had to buy some today or burst
I knew there would be nicer out there

What about rose flavoured cocktails?
I am having a garden party at the end of the month, and it would be a godd theme

My mum used Tweed and Charlie

search on here for Wild Rose Cream

I have the by terry, and it is rather yummy.

It's a pink, slightly irridescent gel, I use it on my cheeks as a blush/highlighter and it gives them a lovely sheen and smells delicious.

I bought it on a whim, and I definately wouldn't class it as a beauty essential, but it is a lovely treat

If you like roses you'll love this it is totally gorgeous - rose scented lip balm - it is expensive but really luxurious.

I am a bit of a By Terry fanatic

The wild rose cream is really lovely, tremendously hydrating - it's 24 euros on that site but it's on ebay for £15.99.

it made my skin very soft.

bet that BY Terry stuff is lovely though

Dr Haushka Rose day cream is another lovely one but only for normal/dry skin, I am too oily for it.

I get lovely rose scented bath bubbly stuff for dd in the health food shop - it is by Jansen I think, and is very reasonable, also get her rose shampoo there.

Not strictly rose, but rose and blackcurrant I think, and the ultimate scented candle in the universe i think, is this

And if you really want to go all the way on the rose theme, it's hard to beat this

Wanting to smell like lavender is truly elderly, I wouldn't worry too much yet...

Cath Kidston has some lovely smelling rose products. Very popular as gifts.

BOF
I have always wanted to smell of lavender since a small child.
It is very worrying and I am not sure where it comes from.
i have restrained myself (mostly) and just have lavender air fresheners for the house.
I have, in the past, bought lavender plants for the garden, but, alas, they all died.
I also love parma violets too.

Was going to link to the Jo Malone Red Roses but macherle beat me to it. It is to die for

Mina, I sometimes mind my friends 7 month old dd. My freind always wears red roses, so her dd smells divine!

Paul Smith Rose perfume is gorgeous. I am an aromatherapist and get very annoyed with alleged "rose scented" items which have used cheaper oils such as palmarosa or rose geranium instead (tis still a lovely oil but not as gorgeous as rose).

For amazing candles and perfume try Ormonde Jayne. DH buys me a candle from here for Christmas every year and it is such a treat. I dont dare visit the shop myself......I fear for our bank balance too much

You lot are truly fabulous
Lots of to die for creams and candles and scents
I think I shall put either the Paul Smith or the Jo Malone scent on a christmas gift list
And I'm now searching for some more rose gel/soap as applicable
Am now heading off to a party feeling lovely and glamourous and slathered in my moroccan rose body butter

PS I also love lavender, but more as a relaxing bath scent

MrsJS, that Ta'if stuff looks pretty gorgeous too
Yes, safer to ban yourself I fear

macherie do you have a link to your rose bubble bath and shampoo as It sounds like something I'd like to get for my DD. I am another rose fanatic!

Angelcake,this is what I use for the bath.

[[http://www.lovelula.com/pd_urtekram_rose_pure.cfm This is the shampoo.

Oops here's the shampoo

you can get that body shop morrocan range fairly cheap on ebay as the whole set (4 items) was a freebie when you subscribed to marie claire mag a few months ago (i've got it in my wardrobe, will prob give to a friend for a gift at some stage)

I use this and it smells very nice!

Thanks Macherie, that's great, will buy soon

i have had (& finished ) the by terry rose moisturiser, though i had the gel. it was utterly gorgeous. and came with the cutest little scoop to put it on with . i love rose too. weleda do a nice range, i have the day & night rose moisturisers & they weren't too £££. shower gel too. off to search ebay now!

oh god, yes, the ren morrocan rose stuff is FABULOUS. i have the body cream & i love it. god, i am looking a bit obsessive here...

REN - rose shower gel, body oil, facial oil- all divine!
