Holiday Gift Guide – L’OCCITANE Eau de Toilette Fragrances

December 2, 2011 By

Have someone on your gift list that likes fragrances? Give them pure, natural eau de toilette from L’OCCITANE, and you are giving a beautiful gift they are sure to love! (If you’re wondering, it’s pronounced lox-ee-tan.)

Created by 23-year-old Olivier Baussan, who grew up in Provence, decided to recreate the traditions of his region. After purchasing a steam distiller, a relic from the past, L’OCCITANE products are made from plant ingredients that are effective, as well as respectful of the people who create the products and the environments in which the plants are grown.

L’OCCITANE eau de toilettes are available in Verbena, Eau de Baux (a blend of cypress and incense), Green Tea, Rose, Citrus, and many more. The original L’OCCITANE fragrance (shown in the photo above) contains lavender, blended with the peppery, nutmeg scent of burnt wood. It’s intended for men, but women like it too!

Full-size bottles average around $48, with lower-priced travel sizes also available. Visit the L’OCCITANE homepage for more information on the fragrances and how to purchase them.

The Fragrance Collection by Glade is  a new,  chic home-fragrance collection of reed diffusers, soy candles, and multi-wick soy based candles. Featuring  sleek designs and unique  scents, you get premium quality for everyday prices.  The scent choices are:

* Make time to indulge with Currants & Açai – The delightful combination of tart red currants, tangy Açai berries and red fruit accents.
* Delight the senses with Lotus Bamboo – The balmy, tropical luscious scent of bamboo with a touch of creamy citrus.
* Rejuvenate daily with Sheer White Cotton – A captivating blend of floral, fruity and woody notes, including freesia and lime.

SC Johnson sent me a multi-wick candle and a reed diffuser in the Sheer White Cotton,  and I love the smell.  I especially like the multi-wick candle because it’s so much brighter,  it’s actually possible for me to read by candlelight!  You should be able to find the Glade Fragrance Collection anywhere home-fragrance candles are sold.  Thanks to these candles you don’t have to spend a lot of money to enjoy a little luxury!

Perfumes by Danica Aromatics

May 11, 2008 By

Three Girls Media sent me a sample of the perfumes by Danica Aromatics, and they smell amazing! Each of the fragrances has a word associated with it- passion, wild, rich, hot, real. Each has a “personality”, too. I received one full size fragrance in “I am Passion”, and to be honest, I probably would have never picked it for myself if it hadn’t been sent to me. But it smells unbelievably good on me (just ask my hubby lol). It looks like this:

This is the description- I am love-lust, simmering, shimmering.

Pure desire, heart and soul.

Like swaying jasmine in full bloom,

I am swept away. I am passion.

And the fragrance description:
fresh green floral
black currant, peony, violet
lush, tropical, inviting

I know, right? But it smells SO GOOD. Check out the full line of Danica Aromatics on their website, I bet you’ll find one that is perfect for you!
