Ange ou Demon le Secret Elixir, Givenchy’s Latest!

givenchy ange au demon fragrance review Keep in mind that I spend my entire day with one or both of my small children… The first thing I thought when I smelled Givenchy’s new Ange ou Demon fragrance was “mmm! Pez!”

Yes, the scent certainly has an innocent fruity candy-element to it, but also captured in this update of Givenchy’s best-seller is a sexy oriental essence.

Angel or Demon indeed… This scent combination certainly can confuse the consciousness! But, I’ll dare to answer the question Givenchy poses. This scent is clearly Demon, as something Angelic couldn’t possibly be so dangerously addictive! [Read more…] about Ange ou Demon le Secret Elixir, Givenchy’s Latest!

Awesome Herbal Fragrance!

I wrote about Liz Earle’s Botanical Essence No. 1 when it first launched, and with Fall quickly approaching it had been on my mind once again. Why? This sophisticated herbal fragrance is an excellent scent to use as the summer weather gradually transitions into the cooler days of Fall. It’s not as light and energetic as a typical Summer scent, nor is it as warm and musky as scents formulated for cooler months. Liz Earle’s Botanical Essence No. 1 is ideal for the days in-between.

Oooh La La! Vanilla Passion Fruit By Lavanila Laboratories!

vanilla passion fruit lavanila I’m not sure when, but in the vast expanse of time fragrance has been used, woodsy/musky scents became synonymous with “sexy”. Lavanila Laboratories turns this conventional wisdom on its head with Vanilla Passion Fruit, their seriously sexy fragrance!

The deliciously fruity concoction of Passion Fruit, Guava and Peach Nectar has a smoldering Sandalwood and Madagascar Vanilla base. The blend is infused with natural aphrodisiacs: Blue Lotus, Juniper Berry and Clary Sage. The result is a positively intoxicating and intimate scent.

Perhaps best of all, this fragrance is suitable for everyone. I personally have sensitive skin, and some perfumes make me itch and break out in a rash! The sensitive skinned among us are less likely to experience any reaction to Lavanila’s “healthy” fragrances, made with 100% natural ingredients. Some nasty ingredients you’ll never find in a Lavanila product include: petrochemicals, phthalates, propylene alcohol, mineral oil, silicone, synthetic dyes, sulfates and parabens!

Retail price is $58 for an 50 mL (1.7 fl oz) bottle. Buy it at Lavanila.com or Sephora.com.

Naturally, I’d be remiss if I didn’t inform you that for an extra $2 you will get the exact same size of fragrance in a beautiful gift box with a 2.75 oz. body butter to layer! What a wonderful Valentine’s gift this would make! Click HERE for the LAVANILA Vanilla Passion Fruit Fragrance & Body Butter Set ($70 value) Vanilla Passion Fruit Fragrance & Body Butter Set
