I've been going through a rose renaissance lately --- I can't seem to get enough of this quintessential flower, whether it involves burying my nose in a bouquet of fresh blooms or spritzing on my favorite rose-based fragrances. (As I mentioned last Friday, I'm currently loving Balenciaga Florabotanica, a rose and mint combination). Recently, I had the chance to indulge in my favorite floral scent with a bottle of REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Cream!
REN is a skincare line that I've written about quite a few times now; their clean plant-based skincare line really seems to work for me. REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Cream is my first foray into their bodycare line. It contains soothing rose oil from Damask rose petals and rose hip seed oil. It moisturizes with coconut oil, jojoba oil, and shea butter. The product is dispensed out of a small pump head (see below), which helps save product and reduce mess. The lotion itself has a silky feel and sinks in quickly. It hydrates without leaving an oily feel. I'd put the performance somewhere between a regular lotion and a butter. Of course, the best part is the beautiful rose scent; it's fresh, and light, with a seed-like contribution from the rose hip oil. I've been enjoying my bottle of REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Cream post-shower, as well on my neck and décolletage in the mornings. Due to its simple, fragrant scent, the cream also complements a number of my perfumes, especially those featuring rose and other florals.
REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Cream ($44 for 6.8 oz.) is a beautifully scented, wishlist worthy body cream perfect for those who love rose. It's been an enjoyable part of my daily routine; I love the silky feel of the lotion and how it easily complements my fine fragrance collection. REN products can be purchased at Sephora and RENSkincare.com. Thanks for reading! Have you tried any REN Moroccan Rose Otto or other REN products? What bodycare do you usually layer under your favorite fragrances?
Love, Dovey.

A rose rennaissance :) How extraordinarily lovely :) I love rose as a soliflore, or at the very least, clean. This body cream sounds divine and while I don't have any favorite fumes I think it'd complement (though I might be surprised) I'd definitely wear this sans fume for a light change of pace.
ReplyDeleteHi Liesl, Thanks so much for the comment! It's good to hear from a fellow rose- lover :)
DeleteAhh Dovey, you're putting so much REN on my wish list! I'm a fan of rosy scents too (I used to really dislike it till it changed overnight some years ago. Don't know what happened there), and I've always been eyeing this and the bath oil. Need more REN!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sunny, Lol! I suppose one can't go wrong with rose ... or REN :-P
DeleteI was a bit like Sunny, I was never really a big fan of rose scents either, but received a REN Moroccan Rose Otto Discovery Set for Christmas and am completely in love with the fragrance and the products. I'm really enjoying my little bottle of the lotion, as you said, it hydrates well, but doesn't leave a greasy residue behind, which is nice. I'm also loving the body wash and body oil from the range and the bath oil is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Nat, oh wow, I would have loved to try the whole Moroccan Rose Otto set! That sounds absolutely wonderful!
DeleteThis sounds heavenly! I wasn't all that keen on roses until last year when suddenly it hit me like a truck. Now it's a full blown addiction. Never tried a REN product I didn't like and I'm sure that this one is a winner as well. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Liz,
DeleteOh, effective analogy :-P! I think once I found that rose didn't have to smell 'older', I fell in love!
