Who's familiar with Herbal Essence's Color Me Happy Shampoo?

(Disclaimer: I'm severely hyposmic and synaesthetic, so my perceptions may not reflect common experience. Also, my downmarket taste and experience range are going to be on display here.)


In a previous post here, I mentioned a fruitless yearning for a big, extravagant, uncomplicated rose note that I'd encountered in an industrial hand soap--only to happen upon it in BPAL's Blood Rose. By another happy bit of serendipity, a similar unequivocal old-fashioned (1) rose scent that I'm still capable of perceiving turns out to be available for three bucks a bottle; I was wondering whether anyone might recognize it in other fragrances.

(1) I suspect that a heavy rose note is the sort of thing that's come to be stigmatized as old-ladyish; it's been decades since I've come across it in a mass-marketed grooming product. Perhaps, now that the grandmas who wore stuff like Joy have been dying off, it's acquired the patina of period charm?

Bath and Body works has just debuted a handful of rosecentric scents. I wonder if one of those would work for you.

Mary Kay extra emollient night cream is also heavily rose scented.

Thanks for the recs; I just checked out their website*, and they do indeed have a just plain "ROSE" spray (although the copy describes it as "airy", raising the question of whether it would register on the Ox-dar; what I tend to need is more on the order of Heliogabulus' idea of Making It Rain.)

*I also notice that their Cucumber Melon scent is now in the Retired column--that combo's been one of the ubiquitous olfactory signatures of a generation.

I also noticed several other scents grouped together with the plain rose that have rose notes; maybe one of those would work, too. Sometimes, flowers are amplified to me by the presence of other flowers.

Lush has a lot of rose-scented stuff. There's their Imogen Rose perfume, and several products with their Rose Jam scent. The rose jam stuff might be closer to what you are looking for?

Haven't a clue, since I've no experience of Lush as yet; thanks for the recs!

Pacifica makes a very lovely and affordable rose scent - Persian Rose, I think it's called. If you live in the US Target carries Pacifica.

Lush's Rose Jam is nice too, but more expensive.

Also, Suave has come out with a rose oil shampoo and conditioner. It smells very nice - a light rose, but still very much present.

Hmmm...I'll have to check out the Pacifica and the Suave shampoo, then--and you're the second one to have brought up the Rose Jam; thank you for the recs!
