Lotus
White TeaThe Ritual of Karma Trial Set Gift Set
It is the dearer of the two Karma trial sets on the shop, so pick it when it is the listing in front of you and you would rather order now than hunt for the few euro.
The trial box holds a 125g body scrub, a 70ml body cream and a 50ml foaming shower gel. We will be plain about the smell, because Rituals itself publishes only two materials for Karma and we are not going to invent the rest. Lotus is the first thing you notice, soft and clean with a watery sweetness to it. White tea runs underneath, dry and pale, with a slight leafy bitterness that keeps the lotus from going sugary. The result is light and calm and does not take up much space, which is exactly what a lot of people want from something they wear every day. That is all there is to report, and reporting it accurately seems better than padding it out.
What this set is really for is deciding. A trial set lets you wear something for a fortnight before you commit to a full size, which is the only reliable way to tell whether a scent suits your skin, your routine and the people you sit beside. It is low risk by design. It also makes a sound present when you know somebody likes the brand but not which range they have already got through, and it is a courteous size to give to someone who does not wear much perfume and might be put off by a large bottle.
Rituals began as a single Amsterdam shop on the Kalverstraat in 2000. Its founder started the business after travelling in Asia and continues to run it as chief executive. Perfume is one part of a range that is largely about the body, the home and gifting, and the company stepped into fine fragrance later with the Aeonian and Founder's Collection lines.
