A couple of spritzes of this alcohol-free rose water toner will cool the skin, and leave it soothed and moisturised.

This intoxicating scent has the best of both worlds – it features both chocolate (praline) and rose notes, alongside vanilla, coffee and caramel. This might just be the ultimate perfume for dessert lovers.

Add a drop or two of this lightweight oil to your regular moisturiser for a boost of hydration. You can also use the oil to tame flyaway strands or soften nail cuticles.
6. Handmade Heroes Super Duper Nourishing Rice Scrub in Rose Petals, $17.90.

The blend of ground organic rice and rose petals in this gives the skin a gentle, moisturising scrub – the rice particles are fine, so the scrub doesn’t feel overly rough. We love that it smells just like bandung (rose syrup with milk) – so sweet and comforting.
7. By Terry Baume deRose Nutri-couleur in #01 Rosy Babe, $81.

This lip balm will keep your pout soft, hydrated and oh-so-kissable. We especially love the natural-looking pink sheen it leaves on the lips and the luxe-looking frosted glass packaging.
8. Penhaligon’s Peoneve EDP, $320.

Inspired by an English garden in summer, this light and crisp fragrance with rose, peony and vetiver notes is our go-to on scorching hot days.
