Roses are king in the tonic, so it smells like them, maybe more like rose water, because the scent is not too heavy or irritating, which I liked. However, the tonic itself is definitely not like soft water - it is strong, toning, quickly absorbed into the skin. Does not leave any stickiness or greasiness. I don't have any big requirements for tonics - it's important that they please the nose and the skin, clean the face and prepare it for further steps, which is what I got from the Fresh tonic. And the bonus is hydration and soft skin. As I already mentioned, there are rose petals floating in the tonic, which is very cute and beautiful and does not interfere at all until about one third of the tonic is left. Then when you try to distribute the toner on the cotton pad, when you turn the bottle, they run forward and prevent the toner itself from running. By shaking vigorously and turning the bottle over several times, the tonic slowly escapes, but the further it goes, the harder it is to get it out of the bottle, because the petals become like porridge and it is impossible to use the tonic completely. This is such an annoying downside for a beautiful aesthetic.

I use it twice a day after double-cleansing my face. I don't use a cotton pad. I just put some toner in my hand and pat it on my face. I feel like I would loose to much product by using a cotton pad. I then follow-up with the rest of my skincare routine (serum, cream, etc.). This toner is lightweight and smells good. I feel like my skin is more "plump" after using it.

It does not deeply hydrate like it promises to do, but does leave my skin soft & prepped for foundation so that's what i use it for.

I try to apply with cotton pad but particles also come out and stick to my face, I prefer my good old garnier micellar water for sensitive skin, this one is nothing special

It leaves my skin glowing & it’s the perfect toner under my serum :)
