A shower gel that smells of sandalwood, a lotion with black tea and fig, a hand cream for your bag: LONGTAKE is a Korean body and hair care brand where the scent matters as much as the care.
At Ma Petite Corée, we have selected seven products. In this article, we show you the two body lines, the hair mask, and how to pick your scent.
A Korean brand, scent first
LONGTAKE offers scented body and hair care. Here you will find two scent families: Sandalwood, a woody and soothing scent, and Black Tea & Fig, with notes of black tea and fig.
Within each family, you find the same scent across several products: a body wash, a lotion, a hand cream. The hair mask also comes in two scents, Sandalwood and Black Tea & Fig.
A scent that follows the whole ritual
What makes LONGTAKE easy to live with is that the scent carries over from one product to the next.
- One scent per line. Sandalwood Intensive on one side, Black Tea & Fig Softening on the other.
- Care with fragrance. Each product cleanses, moisturizes or softens, and adds a scent on top.
- Body, hands, hair. Body wash, lotion, hand cream and hair mask complement each other.
The Sandalwood Intensive Body Lotion is a good place to start. It moisturizes the skin deeply and leaves a woody, soothing scent. Its texture is rich and creamy. Apply it to your body after the shower.
