scent from heaven…

I love fragrances! I love perfume, I love soap and detergent with scents, I adore scented candles…I even love a certain floor cleaner that rhymes with “sniffer”. However, as I mentioned in an earlier post this week, as an online retailer, it’s a tough sell ’cause scent is very subjective and you just can’t sniff the computer screen. That doesn’t mean I can’t recommend some of my favorite scents for you to check out locally, if you can find them.

In the home fragrance category, I’d have to recommend these three: Fruits & Passion, Lollia and Beautea.

FRUITS & PASSION

Spray this fresh scent in your kitchen…blissful! My favorite is the “Coriander & Olive Tree”, but they carry a range of gorgeous scents. They also have wonderful body lotions, soaps and home cleaning products. Click on the image to go to their website.

LOLLIA

I don’t know how they do it, but Lollia makes the most amazing candles, soaps and perfumes. My absolute favorite is “1,000 Flowers”. Don’t go through life without smelling some Lollia. Even when the candle isn’t lit, the scent wafts my way when I’m sitting near it. Love, love, love it!

BEAUTEA

I carried this line of products, but I’m thinking of discontinuing it ’cause it’s a hard sell if people can’t actually smell it (I only carry the body lotion right now). I really love the line, so if it’s available locally, definitely check it out–particularly the candles!!!! They’re organic soy and the scents combine exotic floral and tea blends.

In the perfume category, I’ve got two favorites: Chanel’s Coco and Jo Malone’s Lime Basil Mandarin.

So there are my favorite picks. What do you like? Any recommendations that I should try?
