Summary
I was sent this to try and I really enjoyed using it. It worked for me as a day and night cream (which is unusual as I have very dry skin). The dark, opaque glass jar with a gold rose on the lid is very chic. The cream is rich and very moisturising. It absorbs well and doesn't interfer with products placed on top. It makes a good base for make-up. It is heavily scented with rose, a deep earthy kind of rose, not the Turkish Delight sugary flowery kind. It does not smell synthetic at all, which is reinforced with the organic nature of the brand.

I received a full sized pot of this cream to review from Beauty on Trial. This product comes in luxury packaging, beautifully boxed in white card and presented in a glass jar for a luxiourious feel. It is unfortunate that the box packaging has a plastic coating, which prevents the recycling of materials. The blue glass used for the jar will protect the beneficial properties of the precious ingredients from sunlight, which is a lovely touch and a nostalgic nod to apothecary products of the past. There is a protective layer under the lid which is removed the first time of opening - you may wish to hold on to this for a tight fitting lid! For practicality, the glass is heavy for carrying when travelling and the lid could work loose, once the protective layer over the cream is discarded after opening. For this reason and the plastic on the card box, I have given the packaging a lower rating.
The cream is white in colour and has a very thick texture. It sits on the fingertips well when scooped from the jar. The scent is deep and luscious and almost edible. It is soothing when applied to skin and gives a sensory experience on application. It moisturises well and may need some moments to absorb due to the weight of the cream, it works well as a night cream.
The cost of this product is higher than family brands but the brand itself has good ethics. This product would be a lovely treat or gift.
