Everything is Coming Up Roses with Rose & Co.

Rose & Co. to give a very brief introduced was created by Patricia and Caroline Rose when they bought an old druggists shop in Yorkshire. With a love of all things vintage, beautiful and romantic, they restored the shop to its former Victorian splendour and a quirky but charming beauty apothecary was born.  All products are made in the UK with professionally blended handpicked ingredients. Products are made in small batches in the UK and soaps are still traditionally milled and pressed in one of the oldest soap factories in England.

With spring well and truly on its way the scent of fresh blooms is just a sniff away read the card which accompanied the latest release from Rose & Co. Packaged beautifully inside this paper was the following:

The first thing I can tell you about these products is their scent is truly magnificent, it was the first thing I noticed before how intricate the delicate the design on each bath fancy was, which as you can see is beautiful, each fancy is finish with a handmade flower to add that little extra wow factor.

The first box of three bath are called "Everything is coming up roses" and it contains three different scented bath fancies which are Rose, Rose and Patchouli and Sugar Rose.  All three of these products contain three common ingredients - Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter and Almond Oil, all of which are known for their moisturising and hydrating properties on the skin.

The second box are Hyacinth bath fancies and i absolutely adore the scent of these.  Each one is as beautiful to look at as with Everything Is Coming Up Roses.  Again, the three main ingredients are the same as before with Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter and Almond Oil, the one real difference with Hyacinth is the scent and as a child my Grandma always had Hyacinths in a vase in the hallway and the memories came flooding back, it is a scent I adore in flowers and something I have been looking for in candle form for a long time and am yet to find it.

Using these products is one of those things I find hard to do, they look so beautiful that just throwing them into the bath seems such a waste, that is until you actually do put them in the bath, as soon as they come into contact with water and the scent is released, it is simply stunning, the steam vapour carries the scent into each room in your house and it is far more powerful than any candle or reed diffuser that I have ever used and the scent lingers for a good hour before dissipating.

A box of three bath fancies cost £10 and for a little gift these are a fabulous choice and if like me you enjoy your bath as a place to relax and unwind, I cannot recommend these highly enough.
