With a certain “holiday” coming up—you know, the one that involves a lot of chocolates and hearts—roses are getting a lot of attention as well. We’re all for a beautiful, fragrant bouquet of flowers any time of the year, but why not make this sumptuous scent a part of your day-to-day life sans the vase and limited shelf life? Here, a few ways to surround yourself with the sweet smell of rose at every turn…
kai*rose Hand Cream
The original gardenia-based kai scent has garnered a cult following—and its rose-infused sibling, kai*rose, recently welcomed this hand cream to the collection. Featuring the much-loved blend of white exotic floral notes plus rose absolute, bergamot, clove, cedar wood and geranium, the formula hydrates and protects with shea butter, sunflower and safflower oils, aloe vera and apple extract while leaving a delicate yet delectable fragrance behind. (P.S. The range also includes eau de parfum, perfume oil, body wash, body, lotion, body butter and deodorant—and you’ll probably want them all.)
Diptyque
It wouldn’t be February without new rose offerings from this famed fragrance brand, and this year brings candles devoted to two specific types, Damask and Centifolia. Available as individual full-size candles or in a set that includes smaller sizes of both, you’ll be surprised how each has a distinct scent—because all roses are not created equal. This limited-edition collection also includes other subtle ways to surround yourself with rose, including drawer liners, a fragrance oval (perfect for a desk drawer or linen closet), hair mist, eau de toilette and more.
Lancome Absolue Precious Cells Face Mask
The real rose petals in this gel-based mask make it more than Instagram-worthy—it’s also a sure-fire way to hydrate, smooth, nourish and refresh your skin. Packed with rose water, rose oil and three types of rose extracts, it’s definitely an indulgent way to end (or start!) the day.
Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist
There’s a place for this soothing, hydrating rose-based mist in every skincare routine—and countless ways to use it. Perfect for a mid-day skin pick-me-up, setting makeup and even moistening a makeup sponge for foundation application, it provides antioxidant and balancing benefits along with a light, refreshing rose scent.

An indisputably indulgent way to care for your lips, this beloved rose-infused balm delivers lip-smoothing moisture, plumping and a lovely, non-sticky shine that can be used in place of lipstick. Best of all, it can be used to soften cuticles and strengthen nails—and it comes in a stick version for those who prefer finger-free application.
