What it is
A fragrance body oil that brings out a natural, pleasant scent tailored to your skin. Recommended Points:. HELENUS is a joint brand between Orbis, a company with a strong reputation for skincare, and Centpia, a lover of fragrances. Focusing on each individual's unique skin scent, or "skin scent." Rather than masking each individual's unique skin scent with other scents, the oil's fragrance blends with the skin's natural scent to bring out your own unique, natural, pleasant scent, without any artificial or body odor-like odor. Available in three types to suit different skin types. It balances moisture and oil, effectively dispersing each individual's natural scent while caring for the body. NS12: For skin with a balanced moisture and oil balance. A translucent fragrance created with essential oils of flowers such as geranium and rose, plus herbs and fruits. Colorant-free. Contents: 110mL. Country of Origin: Japan

I bought it because I liked the concept of loving one's own scent and loving a scent that suits each person's skin. Another plus point was that Centpia from Liberta Perfume was involved. I get the impression that they value individual originality and a custom-made feel. The scent is a fresh green floral like a florist's. As a perfume company is involved, it's not a cheap, harsh scent, but rather a realistic scent like fresh flowers. It's not a strong scent, so it seems like it would be well-received by everyone. I use it before bed as a night perfume. However, unfortunately, it's not enough on its own as a moisturizing oil. It's best not to expect it to have any moisturizing power. After using this, I moisturize on top with Care Cera AP moisturizing lotion. If you're going to apply it all the way to the trouble of applying it, it would be easier if you could get by with just one bottle. Lol
I bought this as an after-bath body oil. It's non-sticky and easy to use. The scent is great.
I think it's a rare scent. It's not cloying. It's an oil, but it's not sticky and the cost performance is not bad. I like it.
I once again purchased additional products from the Orbis official website. 2024.12.09...I ordered from the Orbis official website. This is my third bottle! I'm currently using it alongside Weleda White Birch, but this oil feels thicker in comparison. 2.24.06.30 Today, I attended my first Orbis fan meeting. A person involved in the development of Helenus was hosting the event, and when I asked, I was told that the scent lasts about five hours. 2024.6.27 I ordered from the Orbis official website. I'd received numerous offers for this product since its release, and had been interested, but since I usually use Weleda White Birch oil, I hadn't yet purchased it. This was my first time ordering from the official website in a while, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to purchase it together with DS13. To me, NS12 has a strong bergamot scent. I like it. The scent doesn't last very long. The texture is smooth and easy to use. My skin feels moisturized after use. The cost performance is reasonable. I might buy it again if I have the opportunity.
I borrowed this body oil from my mother when I visited my parents' house and was surprised by how wonderful it smelled. Why does it have such low ratings? (It's understandable, since fragrances tend to be divisive, but I loved it.) Apparently, my mother didn't like the smell and only used it once, so I inherited it. lol Anyway, it smells like a bouquet of flowers, and it's so lovely, you have to take a deep breath. It has a slightly blueish scent, like fresh flowers, jasmine, and lily of the valley. On my skin, the jasmine seems to be more prominent. It's not like a perfume-like scent, but it has a subtle, natural fragrance that wafts from the skin and is very pleasant. It's also long-lasting; I apply it all over my body after a bath at night, and the scent lingers faintly into the morning. It's a smooth oil that spreads easily and is great value for money. I mix it with a fragrance-free body lotion (Rohto Pharmaceutical's Carecera Body & Face Lotion) and apply it. It can also be used as nail oil, and I also apply it to my hair if my palms are sticky. It's versatile and can be used in a variety of places. I'll buy it again when it runs out! However, I hope the container can be improved. As everyone has said, a pump bottle would be very helpful. I'm also interested in the other scents, but this balanced scent is so lovely, I'd love for you to try it.
