[Culture & Life Section Reporter Choi Jeonghwa] As summer approaches, it is the season when roses are in full bloom.

Despite being the season when nature dresses up most beautifully, people's hearts are closing again due to the aftermath of COVID-19 cluster infections in clubs. With mask-wearing mandates becoming even stricter these days, it is time to skip makeup and focus on creating a healthy base.

Just as seasonal fruits are beneficial to the body, cosmetics also have seasonal ingredients. The most representative item nature offers around this time is the rose. Coincidentally, today (the 14th) is also 'Rose Day.' Whether in terms of visuals or benefits, cosmetic brands would never ignore the 'flower of flowers,' the rose. We introduce cosmetics made with fragrant rose ingredients. Let’s overcome the deepened COVID blues through the enchanting world of roses.

Rose Perfume

Bvlgari 'Rose Goldea Blossom Delight'

The refreshing rose scent clears the muggy atmosphere around you.

These days, people start their day energetically with this scent and recharge bright energy in the drowsy afternoon. Italian luxury brand BVLGARI’s 'Rose Goldea Blossom Delight' (hereafter 'Rose Goldea') opens with a fruity natural scent as if you are in the middle of a rose garden, featuring a floral rose musk fragrance. It then moves through the freshness of rose buds and reaches its peak with the powdery white musk.

'Rose Goldea' was inspired by the moment a rosebud blooming by the roadside bursts open, recreating the soft and delicate appearance of a freshly bloomed flower in its scent. It exudes confidence, eternity, and positive, bold energy. BVLGARI 'Rose Goldea Blossom Delight' 30ml 91,000 KRW

Rose Body

Philvoid 'Seize the Soul Body Oil'

The heavy rose scent spreads all over the body. Like milk turning into steam and settling as mist, it smoothly spreads on the skin, relaxing both body and mind.

Amorepacific’s newly launched body care brand 'Filvoid' offers the shower oil 'Seize the Soul Body Oil,' which emulsifies from oil to a milky texture immediately upon rubbing. Gently rolling with fingertips removes impurities, and the oil forms a moisturizing barrier to complete soft skin texture. It can be used by massaging clumped areas with oil on the palm without water or as a bath additive. Filvoid 'Seize the Soul Body Oil' 100ml 50,000 KRW

Rose Mask

isoi 'Rose Refresh Mask'

The bouncy gel-type mask moistly applies to the skin, with red petals blooming intermittently.

Called the 'Dawn Rose Mask' because it contains roses harvested at the peak of freshness in early May dawn, ISOI’s 'Rose Refresh Mask' (hereafter 'Dawn Rose Mask') ranked first in 'Vitality Soothing Mask' on Beauty+ and 'Wash-off Pack' on Powder Room last year.

The Dawn Rose Mask has a texture more fluid than gel, applying moistly like a moisturizing cream. Use after cleansing or before makeup, then rinse with water after 5?10 minutes to complete exfoliation! Keeping it in the refrigerator provides a cooler sensation to soothe irritated skin and helps maintain a lively skin condition. ISOI 'Rose Refresh Mask' 80g 43,000 KRW

Rose Gel

Wiskin 'Esaji Premium F Rose Gel'

This is a somewhat unfamiliar texture. The transparent, jelly-like gel quickly absorbs into the skin and adheres tightly.

Called a 'shape-memory gel,' Wiskin’s 'Esaji Premium F Rose Gel' uses natural Damask rose certified by Japan’s first JAS organic standard. Containing as much as 84% edible Damask rose flower water, it forms a powerful moisture barrier and revitalizes tired skin. Collagen and hyaluronic acid are key ingredients that help improve skin elasticity and wrinkles. Wiskin 'Esaji Premium F Rose Gel' 30g 70,000 KRW

Rose Cushion

Dr. Dream 'Luminous Rose Gold Cushion'

The round case in pink beige tone features a delicate rose flower embossed in gold foil at the center. Contrary to the glamorous rose image, the neat color and simple design catch the eye.

'Luminous Rose Gold Cushion' (hereafter 'Rose Cushion') from Dr. Dream, a cosmeceutical brand involving experts from Dream Medical Group, maintains excellent coverage and brightness for the first makeup application. It also combines moisture, making it suitable for all ages and skin types. Containing skin-friendly 'Western rose flower water,' it enables elastic and radiant skin expression. Dr. Dream 'Luminous Rose Gold Cushion' 15g 39,000 KRW (including refill)
