I bought this along with Hug, and while the soft foam and smooth cleansing sensation are similar, I prefer this scent. It's a refreshing forest bathing scent. If you put your nose really close to the foam and inhale deeply (not in a harsh or bad way), it gives off a refreshing feeling like a compress. It doesn't actually leave your skin feeling cool like menthol. The sap-like color is also somewhat forest-like, isn't it? The mild, refreshing feeling would certainly be good for a morning shampoo. Personally, I sometimes wish it had a stronger scent, so I'll leave it at this star.
I love the salon "uka." I bought this at their new product launch event and pop-up shop. It comes in three scents, each tailored to the time of day. They're designed to be complex and long-lasting, so you'll never get bored. Balance (morning): For when you want to feel positive. Hug (afternoon): For when you want to feel filled with gentle emotions. Dream (evening): For when you want to get a good night's sleep. Each scent comes with a body wash, essential mist, and body oil. I had a lot of fun and helpful conversations with representative Kiho Watanabe, including her passion for her products and self-massage techniques. I also enjoyed a blissful 30-minute massage using all the items. I bought several items that caught my eye, including this body wash. It's a blend of peppermint, clary sage, lemon, pine, rosemary, and black spruce essential oils. It has a refreshing scent perfect for the morning. Personally, I wish it was stronger. The black and blue packaging gives off a cool vibe. I don't often shower in the morning, but I loved the scent. It has a refreshing feeling, so it's perfect for hot weather. It creates fine, soft bubbles, so it can also be used as a bubble bath or hand wash. My partner usually showers in the morning, so he uses it more often than I do. I also bought hug's body wash, so I use it depending on my mood. I also love how it leaves my skin feeling moisturized, like a shower gel. Perhaps it's because of the Dead Sea salt and essential oils. I'd like to eventually buy dream as well to complete the collection. The pump version was available in stores, and I personally would be happier if it was available.
I was recommended this at the store and have been using it ever since! I love the scent and it makes bath time very relaxing.
