I love fragrance. When I purchase them they normally come in some form of spray. This is my go to way of delivering a scent. But there is one exception to this in my current fragrance collection. Glow’s Rough Perfume Balm isn’t a spray or mist, it’s a balm. This was included in Glow’s July 2023 Subscription Box. So what is this like?
Packaging
This perfume balm comes in a small, white, plastic tube, very similar to how some underarm deodorants are packaged. To use the balm and extend the height to use, you need to turn the bottom of the applicator to raise it up and turn it the opposite direction to bring it back down.
Fragrance
Rouge has a beautifully balanced mix of woody notes and light florals. It has both masculine and feminine qualities to it which makes this a great all round fragrance.
On the skin
Application of Glow’s Rough Perfume Balm is really simple. You gently rub the balm over the areas you want the fragrance to be on e.g neck, inside of wrists etc, and that’s it! I applied this onto the inside of my wrists. Easy, quick, and left my skin lightly hydrated in look and feel. And the fragrance? Wow! The scent was immediately there when I applied it but not overpowering and it didn’t leave. In fact, it stayed for hours. I think the warmth of my skin really helped to keep this fragrance alive.
I didn’t think I would enjoy using this as much as I did. What I loved was this fragrance was for me and me alone. I didn’t use this for anyone else to smell. It felt very personal. How it was applied, where and when I could smell it was for my nose only not anyone else’s and I liked that! It really lifted my mood, the same way aromatherapy oils can do the same thing.

I think Glow’s Rouge Perfume Balm is a beautiful product. The packaging and size makes it easy to carry around. Quick and easy to use with fragrance being localised to where you want it. Zero mess and doesn’t leave the skin greasy. The actual smell of this is gorgeous! Being long lasting makes this pretty perfect. So if you love your fragrance and looking for something a bit different, you MUST try Glow’s Perfume Balms.
