Khadi glycerine rose water soap

One day, Nur Jahan, tired from a hard day's work at the royal court, dispensing orders to her wazirs while her husband Jahangir, Emperor of the Mughal empire, lay stoned in the bar room of the palace after having 10 shots of god knows what and ganja called out to her lady-in-waiting to set a bath up for her. Having to handle an alcoholic husband and the entire empire by herself had taken a huge toll on the queen. The youthful beauty that had once mesmerized the king now had dark circles under her eyes and her skin had lost its usual lustre. Seeing her queen in distress, she set up a hot water bath for her and added to it a few rose petals.

As the queen undressed and set foot into the bath the maid had arranged for her, the soft, tender smell of the flower hit her. Very soon, the perfume of the flower enveloped the entire bath space and she found herself drift into a trance-like state. She dreamt of being in a rose garden with a million roses all around her, swimming in a vast sea of red,yellow and white. A knock on the door, woke her out of her dream. " There got to be something more I can make out of this" she said and this led to her discovery of rose attar (perfume).

The glycerine rose water soap seems to have been created out of the same sense of love that Nur Jahan  experienced for roses. The baby-pink coloured bar of soap is absolutely precious. It has exactly the right quantity of rose water so that the fragrance is neither over-powering nor hard to detect. It makes a delightful combination with a hot water bath and even after you leave the bathroom, the faint fragrance of the flower does not fail to linger. The glycerine portion of the soap is not hard to miss either; it leaves your skin clean and well hydrated. The bar of soap is absolutely unassuming and does not try too hard to sell itself. It lets its fragrance do the talking. Having a bath with it every night was an absolute delight and it set alight my passion for the flower. That beautiful flower, forgotten by the world!

The glycerine rose water soap by Khadi is totally worth buying at 45 rupees a piece and works brilliantly well as a night soap. The scent calms and relaxes your body after a hard day's work. Although the soap loses much of its fragrance after having used it a couple of times, it is still worth buying.Bathing with it is sure to bring back that lost romance with the rose back into your life!
