What are "Top Notes",
"Middle Notes" and "Base Notes" and how do
they affect scent? Read a brief explanation in our Perfumery
Notes Explained.
Absinthe
- Our version of this legendary underground favorite is a
unique blend of anise, sugar, juniper, spices and various citruses.
According to Wikipedia,
Absinthe -- sometimes called "The Green Fairy" because
of its coloring -- originated in Switzerland as an elixir and
later gained popularity in France in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Although it was banned by 1915 in the United States and various
other European countries for being "a dangerously addictive
psychoactive drug", there's no evidence it's any more dangerous
than any other alcohol.
Alien (Thierry Mugler type)
- I was intrigued by the name of this fragrance, and even
more intrigued when I smelled it. To date this is the most expensive
fragrance in our entire line (expensive for us, not for you),
but it's well worth it.
From our perfumer: "From French
fashion designer Thierry Mugler, the creator of the phenomonally
popular Angel, comes Alien, an enticing floral blend like no other.
Our interpretation of Alien starts with top notes of mandarin
and melon, which quickly metamorphose to a strong floral middle
led by notes of jasmine, orange blossom, and rose, atop a woodsy
base supplemented by vanilla and musk. The real thing is blindingly
expensive at well over $100 per bottle, so give our version a
try and let your extraterrestrial fragrance adventure begin. BOTTOM
LINE: Very strong, very different, and sure to turn heads."
Almond, Milk & Honey - A
sweet blend of Almond, Milk and Honey with a touch of Hawthorn,
Cherry and Musk -- a definite "comfort scent" and always
a best seller. This fragrance is smooth and inviting.
Aloha Tiare (Comptoir Sud Pacifique
type) - I have fallen in love with this breathtaking fragrance,
and I think you will too. Tropical florals predominate, with hints
of sweet and musk -- I feel beautiful when I wear this.
From our perfumer: "This is
a simple, easy-to-like tropical blend of tiare flower, vanilla,
coconut, ylang-ylang, and a touch of white musk. Whisk yourself
away to the islands with this sunny, irresistible blend!"
Alyssum - An absolutely
unforgettable floral, delicate and rich in its simplicity. Elegant,
romantic and very fragrant. Wear this when you want to feel feminine
& pretty.
Amaretto Utopia - This fragrance
is even more difficult to describe than it was to name! Our perfumer
calls it "Amaretto Nog", but to me it doesn't smell
like a "Nog" at all, and even calling it an Amaretto
is a stretch. Don't expect it to smell like a plain Amaretto,
because it doesn't. Technically it's a blend of sweet almond and
warm vanilla -- but this is definitely a case of the blend being
much, much more than the sum of its parts. Absolutely unique,
Amaretto Utopia makes me come back again and again for another
sniff. Try a sample and see if you like it as much as I do.
Amazing Grace (Philosophy type)
- A sparklingly fresh floral-white musk blend. From our perfumer:
"Top notes of all-natural Italian bergamot and lemon essential
oils are sweetened with fruity touches of peach, plum, and ripe
raspberry. This is all a brief prelude to a mind-blowing midsection
composed of a classic floral trifecta of jasmine, orange blossom,
and rose. A hint of cedarwood and an enormous splash of the most
glorious white musk make for a clean, sexy finish. Bottom Line:
If you've already splurged on the real thing, our copy most definitely
will not disappoint."
Amber
- Just wait till you smell this Amber! Warm, sensual and very
calming, this multi-faceted scent is the basis of many of the
classic perfumes of the 20th Century. Rich and full-bodied yet
subtle and earthy-sweet, it is a mysterious and haunting fragrance
that amber fans will adore.
Amber
Warmth - Longtime foryournose customers may remember a fragrance
that we had a while ago, called "Warmth". Unfortunately,
the perfumer who made it was unreliable and we were forced to
discontinue the popular scent. Good news, friends! We recently
found a new perfumer that offers an amber blend that's so similar
to "Warmth" that we're re-introducing it, and calling
it "Amber Warmth". If you like amber and are a fan of
sweet scents, we think you'll really like Amber Warmth! From
our perfumer: "Floral fragrance with a green, peachy
note surrounding a jasmine-rose bouquet and warm sweet amber,
sandalwood and musk."
Amour de Cacao (Comptoir Sud
Pacifique type) - I seriously considered renaming this scent
"For External Use Only" or "Wear Me, Don't Eat
Me" because it REALLY smells good enough to eat. This is
sinfully rich and sweet, and I can't find a good reason to stop
smelling it... From our perfumer: "Positively addictive!
This scent is an elegant fragrance confection infused with eroticism.
A grounding base note of the aphrodisiac Cocoa Bean makes this
scent a must for sharing. Passionately warm, unsweetened Dark
Chocolate playfully dances with Vanilla and the surprise lilt
of Star Fruit. A bright and delectable Orange Zest completes the
intoxication with the warmth of a sunlit, Mediterranean grove.
This is a scent so beautifully balanced and delicious, it will
become your favorite sinful indulgence...staggeringly seductive
in leave-on products."
Angel
(Thierry Mugler type) - I
finally found a version of Thierry Mugler's ultra-popular "Angel"
fragrance that I absolutely adore. This is a very sensual blend
of light florals, hints of citrus and exotic fruits on a base
of vanilla, rich woods, patchouli and musk. Try this if you like
our Arcadia
scent.
Applejack & Peel (Claire
Burke type) - The minute Todd smelled this one, he declared
it a winner! This faithful interpretation of the popular Claire
Burke fragrance is so refreshing yet warm and cozy at the same
time; the crisp, tart goodness of apples is first and foremost.
Added is the zingy tang of orange peel, and topped off with just
the right amount of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove to enhance but
not overwhelm the fragrance. Apple Jack is uplifting and will
bring out the happy mood in us all!
Apricot
Jam Tart - This is more
tart than our sweeter, vanilla-dominant "Vanille
Abricot (type)" fragrance, and the emphasis is on the
rich & fruity apricot.
Arabian Spice - Filled with
the aromatic scents of a romantic time past, Arabian Spice is
a blend of crushed clove, heightened with a subtle hint of vanilla
beans and fragrance notes of ginger root and cinnamon powder.
If you like clove and are looking for something a little different
& exotic, this is for you. If you like this, try our Tropical
Spice! Please note: Fragrances containing cinnamon may irritate
sensitive skin.
Arcadia - This is a personal
favorite -- it's an incredible mix of exotic woods, fruits and
spices softened by a touch of vanilla. Unlike many fragrance oils
that contain mostly synthetic fragrances, this is primarily a
blend of pure, natural essential oils including patchouli, sandalwood,
vetiver, clary sage, mandarin, lemon, grapefruit, neroli, anise
and several others along with musk and vanilla fragrance oils.
You'll want to wear this scent (I do!).
Arctic
Raspberry - Todd really
likes this true raspberry scent. It's raspberry in all it's natural,
uncomplicated glory, fresh and juicy.
From our perfumer: "Without
any notes of candy or jam, this succulent winey fruit scent has
hints of green leaf, tea, clear ozone air and snow kissed mountains."
Atomic Fireball Cinnamon - This
cinnamon really packs a whollop! Todd really likes this in a Room
& Linen Spray, and it makes a phenomenal Scent Sack. It's
skin-safe (as are ALL our fragrances), but people with sensitive
skin might want to avoid using cinnamon scents with leave-on products
like lotions & body butters. From our perfumer: "Remember
the big red candy that was so hot, you had to switch it from cheek
to cheek to avoid the burn?"
Aura Mia - Aura Mia (in
MY world, the name roughly means "My Aura") is a hauntingly
unique and exotic blend. I was having a very difficult time describing
this fragrance, and one of my testers said she thought it smelled
like a blend of vanilla, amber and musk. She also said this is
her new favorite of all the scents we sell. Looking for something
a little different and perhaps ethereal? Give it a try. From our
perfumer: "Heart notes of Amber and Rum with a light top
note of musk and Bay make this irrrestible!"
Awapuhi Seaberry - A
fresh & clean blend of awapuhi (aka Hawaiian
White Ginger) and lightly sweet berries.
Baby Face -
This scent is actually fashioned from a ritzy hand-blended
boutique perfume, but we've been told we shouldn't mention the
perfume's name directly. Apparently they don't like anyone to
use their scent name - so we'll gladly respect their wishes. Let's
just say the original name is synonymous with "youngster",
and rhymes with "wild" and "mild". From our
perfumer: "It is based on a bouquet of the most exotic, rare
wild flowers background, with notes of caramel and musk on the
dry down." I don't really smell the caramel note in this
blend so I wouldn't call this a bakery scent by any means; it's
more like an innocence touched by sweet seduction... Very wearable
indeed! For those of you who are familiar with the Akron Ohio-based
(I believe) scent boutique "Honey Gold", this reminds
me of their signature scent, which was my favorite scent to wear
during my early college days.
Baby Grace (Philosophy type)
- I'll admit, when I saw the name of this scent I wasn't expecting
to like it. I've never been a big fan of "baby" scents
(you'll notice I don't have a baby powder scent on the site --
I'm not sure I could stand to work with it). So when I took my
first sniff of the sample we received from our perfumer, I could
hardly believe my nose. It's FABULOUS! Truly! It's innocent, sure,
but with a subtle seduction that means business! Many of our customers
have told us our version is much better than the original. I can
tell you for sure that it really lasts, especially in a roll-on
perfume. From our perfumer: "Want to regress back
to childhood? Start with our wonderful duplication of this Cristina
Carlino classic! With the clean, sweet scent of innocence, our
Baby Grace® duplication is powdery, feminine and soft with
notes of Poppy, Green Accord, Pink Mimosa, Pepper, Creamy White
Woods, and Musk. A slice of heaven!"
Bamboo Sugar Cane - Green
& fresh! A burst of citrus mellowed and made green by a special
blend of herbal notes. Kick in some light notes of roses and jasmine
and you've got a really refreshing scent.
Banana Brulee - Honestly,
it's so hard to find a good banana scent! It seems 99% of them
smell fake or like banana taffy (which is fine, but not what I
wanted). This is a decadent blend of ripe (but not too ripe) banana,
buttery vanilla and warm cinnamon with a touch of caramel &
brown sugar.
Banyan Fruit & Vetiver -
The first time I wore
this scent, I knew I had another winner. Fans of our Black Vetyver
Cafe will love this because the lighter, fruity notes of Banyan
Fruit make it a very summery fragrance. The Vetiver is a fantastic
anchor that really makes this scent last, and the Banyan Fruit
is juicy & fresh -- not at all cloying or overly sweet. Unique
& very clean.
From our perfumer: "The very
large, spreading Banyan is a member of the Fig family. A very
useful shade tree throughout South Asia; older trees can reach
more than 600 feet in diameter, and towering to a height of 90
ft. The Banyan Fruits are orange-red turning scarlet when ripe.
With few stalks, they grow very close to the branches. Ripe fruits
are very popular with birds and monkeys and are eaten by humans
in times of famine.
A very unusual scent, it is at
once luscious and earthy, etheral and fruity...but so haunting.
The fruit and floral accord dramatically mellows the Vetiver base
note; it is neither too acrid nor overly sweet. Banyan Fruit &
Vetiver blends Red Fig, Bergamot, Kumquot, Mandarin, Cyclamen,
Currant, Cling Peach, Osmanthus, Violet Leaf, Rosewood, Teak,
Vetiver and Black Amber."
(Note: I've seen Vetiver -- or
Vetyver -- spelled a number of ways, but the distinctive scent
is unmistakable)
Bayberry - This has been
a favorite for years with those who like a very fresh - yet spicy
and warm - fragrance. Wonderfully subtle, it has a dark woody-mossy
edge and the tang of fresh cedar. It is like no other Bayberry
you've ever tried and you'll soon become addicted to it's captivating
aroma.
Beach
House (Avon type) - I'll admit I'm not always impressed with
Avon's fragrances. So when I got a sample of this from my perfumer,
I was very pleasantly surprised. The fragrance house says this
is a blend of eucalyptus, lime and coconut -- and I don't doubt
it -- but the synergy of this blend is incredible. If I close
my eyes when I smell this, I'm poolside. This is not an ocean
scent, but rather a blend of hot summer air, what I'll assume
is a mix of suntan lotion scents (though the coconut does not
take center stage as you might expect), and that clean, invigorating
scent you get from a chlorinated pool. At least that's my interpretation.
I just know I keep coming back to smell it again & again.
Bergamot - A juicy blend
of fresh citrus notes -- smells just like true bergamot, with
a light, sweet note added to it. Zing!
Birthday Cake - I'll admit
it... I'm on an ongoing quest for the yummiest, most mouth-watering
bakery scents out there. I just love them, and so do our customers!
When I find one that really strikes me as exceptional, I'm utterly
unable to resist buying it! From our perfumer: "This
is hands-down the best Birthday Cake we have EVER smelled! Three
years in the making, we finally found "THE" perfect
blend of moist white cake and hurt-your-teeth sweet Buttercream
vanilla frosting!... If you close your eyes and concentrate, you
can 'almost' smell the little candy sprinkles. This is not "White
Cake" simply renamed to Birthday Cake, ours has that thick,
rich Buttercream frosting to set it apart..." If you like
our Sugar
Cookie fragrance, you'll love Birthday Cake! This is especially
nice in our Foaming
Bath Butter.
Black
(Kenneth Cole for Men type) - Here's
another drop-dead sexy scent for men: spicy, sweet, refreshing
-- a fresh and fruity blend of sweet spice and woods.
Black Cashmere (Donna Karan
type) - This smooth and sexy interpretation of the popular
scent by Donna Karan is lustfully spicy and woody with full-bodied
patchouli, jasmine and heliotrope.
Black Cherry - We finally
found a delicious sweet black cherry that doesn't smell like cough
syrup! Rich & super-strong, just one sniff of this berry-licious
scent and you'll feel it all the way to your taste buds. Excellent
in Scent
Sacks.
Black Coconut - For
a very long time, I was on a quest for a truly great coconut scent.
Suddenly, I'm finding so many that I can be selective and choose
my favorites. This is one of them. Creamy, buttery & very
rich with a surprising earthiness, this has been described as
"Hawaiian Tropic coconut". This reminds me a bit of
the best classic coconut incense, from "back in the day".
Black
Currant & Nectarine - A
crisp blend of sun-ripened nectarines and tart black currants.
This is fresh & fruity, not overly sweet.
Black Raspberry & Vanilla
(Bath & Body Works® type) - Sweet (but not too
sweet!), fruity, juicy, rich, creamy and positively irresistible,
our version of Bath & Body Works' Black Raspberry & Vanilla
will make your mouth water! From our perfumer: "Inspired
by sun-sweetened, delicious dark berries warmed by Vanilla...
Very true to it's Bath & Body
Works namesake... only stronger!"
Black Vetyver Café (Jo
Malone type) - Rich &
sultry, this smooth blend is like nothing else I've ever smelled.
The dulcet, harmonious wood notes take center stage, sweetened
by amber, rounded out by a hint of deep, dark coffee and anchored
with musk. From our perfumer:
"A woody and ambery blend with a hint of citrus followed
by notes of red cedar, sandalwood and musks."
Blackberry
Latte - I'm always a
little cautious when it comes to coffee scents, because my nose
doesn't always like them. This is from one of my favorite perfumers,
and it's fantastic. This yummy blend of fresh, tart blackberries
and sweet, creamy latte has amazing depth and complexity. Todd
likes this one, too.
Blackberry Musk - This
delightful fragrance combines sweetness of sun-kissed blackberries
and the sultry smell of musk for one delicious combo that's neither
too sweet, nor too musky.
Bloomin' Peaches - Limited Edition
- A great blend of peach, papaya, mango, plumeria, jasmine
and musk. Fruity, unique & delicious! If you're looking for
a true, juicy & ripe peach scent, we recommend Just
Peachy Limited Edition: Our perfumer has discontinued this
fragrance blend, and we have a limited amount left in stock. Available
while supplies last.
Blue
Cotton Candy - So sweet you'll get a sugar rush! This is the
playful scent of fruity, sugary blueberry cotton candy. Great
for kids, or for the kid in YOU!
Blue
Sugar (Aquolina type) - Wow. Seriously. Never in a million
years would I have thought that a men's fragrance with cotton
candy notes would be so incredibly appealing. But somehow Aquolina
(and with this version, my perfumer) has managed to not only make
it masculine, but also sexy as sin.
My perfumer's description is spot
on: "Masterfully blended, the cotton candy sweetness of Pink
Sugar has evolved into something unmistakably masculine with a
darker, more toasted sugar note. This brilliant composition then
adds the strength of woods, patchouli, fresh herbs and spices.
It's nicely balanced; just complex enough to be interesting without
being overly busy or heavy handed.
The fragrance opens with a burst
of Toasted Caramelized Sugar quickly yielding to woodsy Cedar
and warm Tonka Bean. A heart of Patchouli, Licorice, French Lavender,
Heliotrope and Coriander is revealed. Finally, lilting notes of
Italian Bergamot and Mandarin are balanced by Star Anise and Fresh
Ginger."
Blueberry Cobbler - Finally,
a Blueberry Cobbler scent blend that smells like rich blueberries
AND a sweet, buttery, bubbling-in-the-pan dessert. We smelled
a lot of blueberry scents before we found this one -- and we really
think it was worth the wait. This is truly the best of the best.
The others try to be Blueberry Cobbler, but this one succeeds.
Bois de Paradis (Parfums Delrae
type) - A sophisticated blend that starts with bergamot, drifts
to rose, cinnamon and blackberry, and ends with cedar, balsam
and amber. This scent should appeal to both men and women.
Brown
Sugar & Nutmeg - I've
been partial to nutmeg scents lately, and this one is irresistable!
Sweet, lush brown sugar and fresh-grated nutmeg are a terrific
duo.
Burberry (Men-type) - We
sometimes have a difficult time finding men's fragrances to add
to our product line, because they usually need to pass Todd's
sniff test before we even pass them along to our testers. That
isn't easy because Todd really isn't much of a scent-wearing kind
of guy, and he's very honest with me about what he likes and what
he doesn't. (If it makes him cough, that's a sure sign he doesn't
like it!). When we got our sample of this scent from our perfumer
and Todd said he liked it, I knew instantly we had a winner! Light
& seductive -- not "in your face" at all. From
our perfumer: A citrus blend with a background of woody notes
of sandalwood, underlined by cedar and the exotic teakwood. This
scent is different... not the heavy woodsy scent you might expect,
and very very pleasant, and charming. This is Romeo!!! It's really
excellent... While a man would feel comfortable wearing this scent,
it really has to be considered uni-gender, because women love
it too...
Buttercream Frosting - Satisfy
your sweet tooth without the calories! If you like our incredibly
popular Vanilla
Cream and Birthday
Cake fragrances, you'll love our rich Buttercream Frosting
fragrance! (Hey, you! Yes, you! Stop licking that lotion off of
your arm!) From our perfumer: This Buttercream captures
the warm soothing buttery, butterscotch essence of the frosting
that we all love. Top notes of vanilla with soft background notes
of maple, butter, coconut and honey.
Buttered
Rum - This delicious scent is rich, buttery and creamy. Vanilla
fans will definitely want to try this -- it's not just for the
holidays!
Candy
Apple Red - This is by
far the absolute best candy apple scent I've ever smelled. A perfect
balance of sweet candy, crunchy apple, and just a hint of spices.
I love this.
Cannabis
Rose (Fresh type) - This
is a green and earthy rose that's fresh, not cloying. Top notes
are Bulgarian Rose, Pomegranate Flower and Italian Bergamot. The
mid notes are an herb-y Cannabis Sativa, Confederate Jasmine and
Rich Dark Chocolate, and the basenotes are White Musk, Patchouli
and Oolong Tea Leaves.
Cannellini Ricci - Inspired
by the little cinnamon stick candies given to wedding guests in
Renaissance Italy, this fragrance is a nicely balanced blend of
cinnamon with a very light touch of vanilla and sweet cane sugar.
The base notes include tonka bean & olive wood, and the middle
notes include hazelnut, almond nutmeg & sweet cream. Put them
all together & you get a really nice cinnamon that's neither
too sweet nor too strong.
Carnival Apple - What's
better than a Caramel Apple scent? A blend of Caramel Apple AND
Candy Apple! Crisp red apple, sweet gooey caramel and crunchy
red candy. When we smelled the sample from our perfumer, we knew
we had to have it! I personally like this better than our Caramel
Apple scent.
Carrot
- If you're into fresh, clean, green & earthy scents,
give Carrot a try. The sweetness of freshly juiced carrots is
complemented by notes of muguet and citrus, and balanced by a
subtle earthy garden aroma. This scent screams SUMMER!
Cerulean Blue - An outstanding
water scent that's refreshingly clean & unisex, this fragrance
is a complex bouquet of carnations, lily of the valley, and hyacinth;
underlined by oakmoss and white musk.
Champanilla
- This is my own special
blend of black vanilla (no bakery notes, just pure vanilla) and
a luscious Tibetan champa. Exotic and seductive, champa fans will
love this balanced blend.
Chaos (Donna Karan type) - Our
interpretation of this discontinued scent by Donna Karan is an
alluring blend of myrrh, nutmeg, bergamot, suede and tonka, sandalwood,
musk, vanilla, and patchouli. It's refreshing, feminine, fun,
sexy, mildly spicy & so wearable you'll wonder how you lived
without it.
I am absolutely in love with this
scent, and Todd really likes it too (which doesn't happen as often
as you'd think).
Cherry
Blossom (Bath & Body Works type) - Sweet
& innocent, this pretty B&BW scent will appeal to fans
of our popular Red
Clover Tea fragrance. From
our perfumer: "This fragrance is *so* true to the actual
blossom, not syrupy sweet at ALL! Just clean, fresh, like the
blossoms right after a spring shower! Your nose will smell a delicate
bouquet of cherry blossom surrounded by freesia and soft delicate
musk."
Cherry Crumb Cake - This
Aromagik original fragrance blend was a big hit with our
testers! It's a sweet and spicy blend of black cherry, three kinds
of cake and a healthy dose of cinnamon and spices. Mmm, mmm good!
Chinatown (Bond No. 9 New York
type) - This is the type of fragrance that really appeals
to me: it's clean, fresh & has rich undertones of musk and
warm woods. Floral, yes, but so complex that non-floral fans will
like it too.
From our perfumer: "Chinatown
starts initially very sweet, with oriental floral notes in abundance.
But the almost cloying sweetness gives way to a fresher floral.
Although Gardenia and Tuberose are abundantly evident, they do
not overwhelm the basenotes of warm woods, patchouli, tonka bean
and spices. Orange blossm and peony are less obvious supporting
elements. Overall, the impression is that of a woody floral, very
exotic, but sweet and accessable. Very unique, and very feminine.
Bottom notes of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Teak, Guaiac Wood and Cedar;
middle notes of Ginger, Tonka Bean, Cardamom, Cedar; and top notes
of Peach Blossom, Bergamot, Peony, Gardenia, Tuberose, Orange
Blossom."
Choco-Mint Torte (was Grasshopper
Pie) - This is a mouthwatering blend of creamy mint and sugary
pie crust, with subtle chocolate notes to round it out. From
our perfumer: "This is a delightful creamy smooth, light
minty smell. Just screams DESSERT HEAVEN! Chocolate and mint cream
filling, poured into a chocolate cookie crust, and garnished with
whipped cream and mint leaves! Can you smell the crust? Oh yes!
Will this make your mouth water? Definitely!...If you are expecting
just flat chocolate and mint mixed together, please shop elsewhere!"
Chocolate
Cherry Cheesecake - The
depth and complexity of this fragrance is amazing. Smooth, rich
cheesecake topped with melted chocolate and gooey sweet cherries.
*drool* This has an amazing balance and smells SO much better
than many similar scents I've smelled. This one has no icky, musty
chocolate and no fake, cough-syrupy cherries. Definitely ForYourNose-worthy.
:)
I love this!
Chocolovers (Aquolina type)
- Fans of Aquolina's sweet Pink
Sugar fragrance will be happy to know our perfumers have been
hard at work perfecting our version of Aquolina Chocolovers.
From our perfumer: "Nothing
is as delicious as Chocolate... except maybe Chocolate that you
can wear! Selectiva® has done it again with this new scent
from the perfumer who brought you Aquolina Pink Sugar...
Delicious, unabashedly sensual and euphoric with essential oil
notes of Bergamot, Orange, Lemon, Lily of the Valley, Coriander,
Hazelnut, Vanilla, grounded in Malt and Musk. Unlike a simple
"foody" type scent, this fragrance is light and very
erotic.
It opens with a wave of sweet citrus
that settles down to a hint of Orange and Bergamot, similar to
the citrus notes in Pink Sugar. Following the light-hearted citrus,
a rich, Nutty Hazelnut Malt and unmistakable sweet Chocolate establish
the base notes along with warm Vanilla Musk. The strength of the
scent is in the middle notes, where Lily of the Valley and Coriander
lighten it with a spicy floral accord.
An intense, mesmerising blend that
has a sweet delicacy, making it wearable and so likeable, this
scent will be the MUST-HAVE of 2006.
Chrome
(Loris Azzaro type) - Don't ask me how it does it, but this
scent begs to be touched. This is a clean &
sexy masculine blend with sharp, crisp, tangy citrus notes. Hot!
Cinnamon Bun - Another fresh-baked
scent! This is a blend of cinnamon, vanilla, brown sugar and cake.
Mmmm!
Cinnamon Cowboy - Hold onto
your saddle, this original Aromagik blend may surprise you! We
take an almost earthy cinnamon (the kind that's unsweetened &
woody, like it's fresh off the tree) and marry it with just the
right amount of our sumptuous leather fragrance. The result is
a balanced blend that smells really, really good.
Cinnamon Sandalwood - Two
great scents that smell great together! Todd really likes this
one, so we decided it was a "keeper". Our perfumer says
this is more cinnamon than sandalwood, and they call it a "mellow"
scent. We couldn't agree more.
Cinnamon Stick - We had
a request for a straight cinnamon fragrance, and Cinnamon Stick
an excellent one! This is definitely cinnamon, straight up! If
you like this and want to try something with a sweeter touch,
try our Cinnamon
Bun. Please note that cinnamon fragrances will irritate sensitive
skin, and this is obviously no exception. If in doubt, maybe try
this in a small sample,
or in a non-skin product such as a Linen
& Room Spray or a Scent
Sack. Not recommended as a roll-on perfume or alcohol-free
perfume.
Citrus Blackberry - A refreshing
blend of tart, juicy citrus and rich blackberries! Crisp &
wearable! This scent makes an especially powerful Scent
Sack. This is another personal favorite.
Citrus
Cilantro (Pier 1 type) - Clean
and fresh with a drydown that really lasts. This is another very
nicely balanced blend that has just the right amount of juicy
citrus and green, herbal cilantro.
Citrus
Linen H2O - Even the name sounds fresh & inviting! The
top notes are clean lemon and zesty lime. The orange blossom and
lemongrass middle notes add an herbal quality to the blend and
the fragrance is balanced with base notes of jasmine, subtle woods,
and powdery musk.
Classic Vanilla - Always
a favorite, this classic vanilla fragrance is simply lovely!
Clean (type) - Our duplication
of this snappy boutique-only perfume is remarkable. From our perfumer:
"Wow!!! Have you smelled this extraordinarily popular boutique
fragrance?!?! It's amazing!!! Super-clean and lemony fresh --
like Ivory Soap if you brought it into the 21st century with a
gigantic shot of extra personality, strength, and pizzazz. Top
notes of black currant, essential oil of lime, and lemon oil from
Italy lead to a soapy, aldehydic midsection highlighted by rose,
jasmine, pink grapefruit, and geranium, with violet, white musk,
and soft woods notes in the drydown...Perfectly unisex -- this
fragrance would be at home in products for people of any age and
gender..."
Clean Cotton (Yankee type) -
It doesn't get much cleaner than this! Very bright without
being overbearing, this is a scent that will make "fresh
scent" lovers say, "Mmmmm". Delightful as a linen
spray, this is also great as a personal fragrance. From
our perfumer: "Fresh top ozonal notes blended with clean
heart notes offers the fragrance of fresh folded laundry."
Coconut - This is a subtle,
light scent that smells like fresh coconut milk. If you're looking
for a sweeter coconut scent, try our Vanille
Coco (type) fragrance. This does not necessarily make a strong
Scent Sack.
Coconut
Cream Pie - I suppose
I need another sweet coconut scent like a cat needs roller skates,
but when I smelled this delicious scent I just couldn't help myself.
I've smelled -- and rejected -- a lot of coconut cream fragrances.
This is very true, with a terrific balance of creamy coconut and
buttery pie crust.
Coconut Lime Verbena (Bath &
Body Works type) - This fresh & clean fragrance is a blend
of coconut and tangy lime with hints of verbena, vanilla and musk.
We tested several different versions of this awesome Bath &
Body Works blend before we finally found one that pleased us.
We think this version is very true to the original.
Coconut
Pineapple - Not your ordinary piña colada fragrance!
This blend is enticingly rich & creamy, and you smell more
coconut than you usually get in other blends. Yum!
Cool Citrus Basil (Bath &
Body Works type) - This zesty scent is a fresh citrus floral
ozone blend. Energizing and perfect for a nice clean, wake-me-up
scent for both men & women. A deliciously accurate duplication
of the popular Bath & Body Works original. If you like this,
try our Watermoss
-- an Aromagik original blend of Cool Citrus Basil (type) and
Sapmoss
(type).
Cotton Blossom (Bath and Body
Works type) - A fresh & subtle blend of jasmine, violet
and gardenia with a sparkle of lemon zests on a drydown of vanilla
and musk. Fresh, fresh, fresh! If you like this scent, you may
also like our Mystic
Breeze
Covet (Sarah Jessica Parker
type) - This fresh &
woody blend designed by Sarah Jessica Parker is softened by light
florals and gentle herbs. Very pretty, subtle yet bold. From
our perfumer: "Opening
with citrusy lemon and herbal lavender, it follows with a subtle,
romantic chocolatey aroma and a burst of floral bouquet, which
quickly dissolve into musky woods and amber. It is earthy but
the herbal and floral elements persist and provide a lift to the
composition. Notes include
Soft Wet Greens, Rose Geranium, Sicillian Lemon, Lavender, Dark
Chocolate, Honeysuckle, Magnolia, Muguet, Musk, Vetiver, Bois
de Cashmere, Teakwood and Amber."
Cranberry Orange Sorbet - This
Aromagik original fragrance is a sweet-tart blend of lush cranberries
and citrus, with an extra dose of fresh oranges that comes from
our popular Five-Fold
Sweet Orange Essential Oil. Fresh, juicy and playful, this
blend was a big hit with our testers.
Creme Bouquet (Stila type) -From
my perfumer's description, I wasn't really expecting to like this
scent. After wearing it for an hour, I knew I had to have it.
This is a sweet & creamy blend of vanilla, pink lilac and
lily of the valley. I may be wrong (because it's been years since
I smelled it), but I'm going say this reminds me a bit of the
old Love's Baby Soft perfume. Innocent & sexy all at the same
time. What a combo. :)
Creamy
Mocha Latte - The problem
with a lot of chocolate and/or coffee scents is they tend to smell
harsh, fake, or like bad musty chemicals. So when I got a whiff
of this scent, I knew I had a winner. The rich, chocolate-laced
coffee and tempered by sweet vanilla cream. This is a must have
for wearing, and in candles it's absolutely fantastic.
Crisp
& Candied - Everyone
around here loves this scent! This is a fantastic blend of citrus,
spices, and woods. From our perfumer: "This fragrance begins
with top notes of orange peels, apples, and lemons; followed by
middle notes of clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg; and well-rounded
with base notes of cinnamon bark and woods."
Crystal
Blue Waters (Bath & Body Works type) - Clean and refreshing,
this is a cool blend of hyacinth, hydrangea flowers, and lily
of the valley; rounded out with ozony notes of fresh green ferns,
vetyver, and cyclamen. I love this scent!
Crystal
Ginger Tea - I LOVE this
fragrance! This is a crystalized white ginger with just the right
amount of citrus, tea and light florals. I could smell it all
day and not get tired of it (and that's saying a lot for a fickle
nose like mine). Fresh & clean, not overly sweet. Gorgeous!
From our perfumer:
"It opens with a burst of sunny lemon peel and yuzu, followed
by hints of jasmine and peach flower, delicate white tea, bitter
melon, ginger and nutmeg."
Cucumber
- Absolutely wonderful! We tried a lot of cucumber scents
before we finally found one that smells like a true cucumber and
not like grass. Crisp, clean, and clear with the unbelievably
sweet edge of a ripe cucumber, this great scent finally has been
captured in a bottle, and is guaranteed to capture your heart
with it's happy freshness.
Cucumber Mint - A crisp,
clean fusion of green cucumber and soothing mint. What a terrific
combination!
Cupcake - When I asked Todd
to smell this scent and give me his opinion, he said it smelled
more like a yellow cake than any of the other cake scents he has
smelled. It's a fabulous blend of butter, vanilla and sugar -
like a fresh cupcake, hot out of the oven. Try wearing Cupcake
and Buttercream
Frosting or Vanilla
Cream at the same time, for a delicious scent combination!
If you like this, you may also like Birthday
Cake.
Daffodil Fields
(Bath & Body Works type) - We've been looking for a good
daffodil fragrance for quite a while, and we finally found one.
This is such a nice floral that even Todd likes it. From our perfumer:
"The aroma of fresh picked spring daffodils with soft notes
of jasmine, chamomile, and lily of the valley."
Dark Patchouli - Best seller!
Earthy & classic, for this scent we use 100% natural patchouli
essential oil. If you like a strong, pure patchouli scent, this
is for you. This fragrance gained popularity in the 60's and it
continues to be a favorite of our customers, both male and female.
If you like patchouli but prefer it to be mellowed & a bit
sweeter, we recommend our patchouli
sandalwood blend.
Diptyque Baies (type) - From
our perfumer: "Paris-based Diptyque is a leader in the world
of high-end candles and home scents, and Baies is the best-selling
of their 45 candle fragrances. Baies is an amazing blend of black
currant, black currant leaf, and Bulgarian rose -- the result
is a startlingly fresh and complex accord that strikes the nose
as alternately green, spicy, floral, and fruity."
Dragon Quest - Exotic, haunting,
sweet and mysterious are just a few of the words that come to
mind when describing this extremely sophisticated and very complex
fragrance. It's moody, warm and very appealing with touches of
amber, incense and a tiny hint of patchouli making the layering
of this fragrance something special. If you are a fan of the more
sensual scents such as amber, myrrh, and sandalwood, you'll go
wild for Dragon Quest!
Dream Spirit - A lovely,
feminine blend that artfully combines so many of our favorite
scents. This soft scent makes me feel warm & content. From
our perfumer: "Top notes of oakmoss and lilies; middle notes
of ylang ylang and jasmine; bottom notes of amber, musk, and sandalwood."
Earth Spirit
- A contrast of light and dark, Earth Spirit is a rich earthy
blend of Patchouli Essential Oil balanced with hints of crisp
red apples and sweet summer flowers. Patchouli fans, rejoice!
An Aromagik original fragrance blend!
Egg Nog - Creamy
& velvety smooth, with just enough nutmeg to make your mouth
water. It even has a tiny hint of rum to round it out. I rejected
more egg nog scents than I can count before I finally found this
gem! It's so lovely that I can't make myself wait until closer
to the holidays to add it to our scent lineup. I guarantee you'll
want to wear this one long after the holidays have come &
gone.
Egyptian Musk - A Best Seller!
Soft, mystically refreshing fruity accords dance on top of warm,
tender musk. Woody notes capture the overall feel of this mesmerizing
aroma. Romantic, sensual & very wearable.
Elements
of Bamboo - I knew at first sniff that this was a "must
have" scent. This alluring oriental beauty is a harmonious
blend of bamboo and cedar entwined with lemon, tangerine and ginger.
Exotic, cooling, refreshing and very unisex.
Elixir of Love (Caswell-Massey
type) - A sweet jasmine blend with undertones of african violets
and exotic musk. A bit heavy for my taste, but our customers love
it!
Energy - We sampled a lot
of citrus blends before settling on this one. We think it's that
good! A mouthwatering blend of tangerine, orange & grapefruit
with sweet tropical highlights. Energy is perfect for people who
love citrus scents, and for anyone who wants a lush, sweet citrus
scent. This is very similar to a fragrance other companies are
calling "Fruit Slices" (which will be available soon
in our No-Wick Candles).
Eucalyptus Spearmint (Bath &
Body Works type) - A refreshing blend of eucalyptus and spearmint.
This blend is beautifully well-balanced; the eucalyptus doesn't
overpower or smell too medicinal. It smells...just right!
Euphoric - This is a nicely
balanced. long-lasting blend with a generous amount of essential
oils, including jasmine, rose and sandalwood. If you're looking
for a "mostly natural" scent, you should give this a
sniff.
The
Exact Friction of the Stars (Pilar & Lucy type) - I
just had to find out why everyone was raving about this scent.
Now I know! Gentle & lightly sweet (not as sweet as, say,
Pink Sugar), this sexy scent is a blend of rich vanilla, creamy
chocolate and hints of coconut cream pie. Best of all, even with
all those sweet notes this manages to smell light & fresh.
Falling In Love
(Philosophy type) - I really love Philosophy's fragrances.
They're just... so wearable. They're sophisticated and playful
at the same time. This is our 4th Philosophy scent duplicate,
joining our incredibly popular versions of Amazing
Grace (type), Baby
Grace (type), and Pure
Grace (type).
From our perfumer: "Our
duplicate of Philosophy's Falling In Love® fragrance is a
faithful rendition of the scent that was 'created for one reason
and one reason only... to make a woman feel and smell absolutely,
positively, sexy.' This intricate scent is a blend of sweet vanilla
top notes, with a floral heart and a blackberry musk base with
a touch of amber...
'You need this product if...
- you like lacy lingerie but don't wear it- now you can!
- you want to add a sensual evening scent to your fragrance collection
- you want to feel and smell sexy
- you are a hopeless romantic' "
Flirt With Me - Kicky
fruits blended with sweet florals makes this fragrance fresh,
sexy & very appealing! From
our perfumer: "A
festive and fun fragrance that begins with fresh citrus top notes
of grapefruit, orange zests, and tangerine; middle notes of strawberries,
apples, pears, rose petals and jasmine; with sexy bottom notes
of vetiver, white musk, and ylang ylang."
Flirtation
(Victoria's Secret, Secret 55 type) - A soft, feminine and
very pretty version of a discontinued Victoria's Secret fragrance.
Bottles of the original sell for big bucks on eBay. From
our perfumer: "The
aroma of soft amber musk with hints of fresh greenery, mandarin,
and lime with a nice vanilla background."
Flowerbomb (Viktor & Rolf
type) - With a name like "Flowerbomb" you might
expect an overwhelming blend of sharp florals that assault your
nose. That is NOT the case with this exquisite fragrance based
on the original by the Dutch fashion designers, Viktor & Rolf.
Instead you get a fresh and sweetly innocent blend of light florals,
teas, bergamot trending down to light musks and patchouli.
Fly Me To The Moon - A
seductively sexy scent with notes of exotic woods, musk &
oakmoss, with a splash of fresh lime followed by a layer of subtle
florals & cyclamen. If you like "The
Very Thought of You", I think you'll like this one too.
Our perfumer calls this a masculine scent, so men should like
it -- but I like to wear it so much I'm calling it unisex.
Frankincense & Myrrh - This
sweet, sensual blend is an exotic combination of Moroccan Rose,
Egyptian Sandalwood, Madagascar Vanilla, East Indian Patchouli,
A bouquet of Cedar, and underlined by Italian Orange, Spanish
Cistus & a sweet musky background. This is more of a sweet
frank & myrrh blend rather than a smoky, traditional frank
& myrrh blend. If you like this, you'll probably like our
Amber
fragrance.
Fresh Sugar Cane (Fresh's Sugar
type) - This is not a sweet fragrance like some of
our other sugar scents (our new Pink Sugar type, for example -
YUM!). Instead, this is a sugar that screams "CLEAN"!
It starts with sparkling citrus notes including bergamot and Brazilian
sweet oranges, then leads to a flirtatious floral middle with
white lily, heliotrope and petitgrain, and finally a succulent
- yet subtle - embrace of amber, caramel and vanilla. Fresh Sugar
Cane gets two thumbs up from Todd. If you like this scent, try
our Clean
(type)
Fresh Waterfall Mist (Bath &
Body Works type) - A fresh floral bouquet with a touch of
"ozone". This is a great "water" scent and
should make "Rain" lovers happy. One of our testers
has declared this his "new favorite scent".
Frosted
Lime Cupcake - This is
awesome! We've been testing a lot of cupcake fragrances, and this
is simply fantastic. From our perfumer: "This fragrance begins
with top notes of Persian lime and lemon zests; followed by middle
notes of meringue; and well rounded with base notes of Royal vanilla
icing and creamed cake." Wear it and smell positively edible!
Fudge
Brownie - Smells just like a chocolate brownie, with a slight
hint of walnuts. Rich & delicious, and a personal favorite.
This is an EXCELLENT chocolate scent!
Garden Mint
(Bath & Body Works Type) - A clean, fresh & inviting
blend of spearmint, green lettuce and rain. Smells like a walk
in an herb garden!
Gardenia - If you are a
lover of the true scent of Gardenia, then this one is an absolute
must. Sophisticated and beautiful, yet subtle and delicate, it
faithfully captures the essence of the Gardenia flower without
the strong and overwhelming undertones that synthetically manufactured
scents all too frequently have. A wonderful and multi-layered
aroma that you'll never tire of using.
Gentle Girl (Limited Edition)
- We got a sample of Gentle Girl from our perfumer, and I
absolutely could not stop sniffing it. Utterly feminine and soft
- and appropriate for gentle girls of all ages! Here's how our
perfumer describes Gentle Girl: "... a lovely, soft
blend of light floral and powder with just a hint of sweetness.
Very feminine, indeed!" They also say this will appeal to
those who don't usually like florals. I'll go a step farther &
say this will also appeal to those who don't normally like powdery
scents. (Like me!)
This is a very subtle fragrance
-- not a strong one -- that seems to "bloom" as it warms
with your body heat. Don't expect a "knock me over"
scent right out of the bottle or jar. This also means it doesn't
necessarily make an ideal scent for Scent Sacks or Linen Sprays.
Limited edition because I'm not
sure I can get this from my perfumer on an ongoing basis, but
we're planning to carry it as long as we can get it from our perfumer.
Ginger Fig - From our perfumer:
"An exotic, fruity blend, with top notes of lemon, ginger,
and orange leading to a warm middle of fig, plum, clover, and
honeysuckle. Bottom notes of vanilla, sandalwood, and heliotrope
add sweetness and staying power. All in all, a rich, deep, complex
fragrance."
Ginger
Lily - This is such a gorgeous fragrance blend that I just
had to have it. It's lightly spicy and green at the same time
-- an alluring floral for people (like me) who don't always like
florals. Very unique and memorable, and one of my new favorites.
Ginger Milk - A deliciously
exotic scent with notes of ginger flowers, nutmeg, bergamot, coriander,
with a heart of peach, jasmine, ginger root, ending with hints
of musk and sandalwood. After wearing Ginger Milk for several
days, I came to the conclusion that the underlying scent that
really clings is almost a sweet gingery-sassafras fragrance. This
is surprisingly wearable; I can't get enough of it!
Gingerbread - Warm gingerbread,
fresh out of the oven. This is an excellent blend of ginger &
soft spiced cookie, without being too sweet. Terrific for the
holidays, or year 'round.
Glamorous (Ralph Lauren type)
- Our interpretation of the scent by Ralph Lauren. A soft,
refreshing floral with musk, vetiver and lily. Very feminine and
delicate.
Golden Clove (Pier 1 type) -
Although I smell a lot more cinnamon than clove in this blend,
I still think it's a fabulous scent. The top notes are almond,
pepper and pimento, the middle notes are cinnamon and a touch
of clove, all on a base note of sweet, creamy vanilla.
Grapefruit Blossom - We've
taken a fragrance that's delicious and popular all by itself,
and given it a playfully fresh twist! The tartness of Pink Grapefruit
is balanced beautifully by the sweetness of exotic, tropical Tuberose.
This is a foryournose.com original fragrance blend.
Grapefruit
Jasmine - This is a perfectly
balanced blend of tart, juicy grapefruit and heady, sweet jasmine.
The combination is a very fresh and feminine fragrance.
Green
Apple - Freshly sliced apple enhanced by hints of orange peel,
pineapple & green notes on a subtle background of musk (for
staying power). Sharp and tangy, the tartness and refreshing smell
of the combined high notes of apple and pineapple will have you
reaching for this again and again. Best of all, this doesn't smell
like Jolly Ranchers (not that there's anything wrong with that,
if that's what you're looking for). A big hit with our testers!
By the way, this is the fragrance that "put us on the map",
so to speak, when it was featured in an article in Cosmopolitan
magazine.
Green Apple & Vanilla -
A mouthwatering blend
of green apple and rich, carmelized vanilla sugar. As you wear
it, the vanilla base notes take on an almost magical quality,
smooth, creamy and very sensual. The vanilla takes center stage
in this blend, and the kiss of tart green apple is just enough
to keep it from being too sugary. My testers have wanted a green
apple & vanilla blend for a long time, and I think I've finally
found one that's (dare I say it?)... perfect.
Green Tea & Cucumber (Bath
& Body Works type) - Clean, fresh, cool & sooo green!
I fell in love with this scent combo immediately when I got my
sample from our perfumer. The two fragrances just seem to play
so well together! From our perfumer: "A
green herbaceous bouquet with citrus and melon notes reminiscent
of tea."
Green
Tea & Lemongrass - Two
fresh & clean scents that smell great together. This has an
exceptionally nice dry down when worn. From our perfumer: "This
bright and natural smelling citrus begins with a top note of orange
Valencia, bergamot tea and plum wine. The heart combines jasmine,
violet, lavender and orange flowers. The dry down is a clean citrus
musk. This fragrance oil contains natural essential oils, including
Jasmin."
Haiku - A
sweet & fruity blend of ripe pear and apples with a very subtle
touch of flowers. Definitely fruity & fun.
Light as spoken words
Eastern Pears and Apples meld
Stays heavy in mind
Hawaiian White Ginger - Fresh,
clean and unforgettable! We originally got this scent to blend
with Patchouli (stay tuned!), but we decided it was such a terrific
scent that we'd offer it all by itself. This is not heavy &
spicy like traditional "gingerbread" ginger; I'd say
it's more like a bright herbal scent. From our perfumer:
A sophisticated but subtle fresh floral blend of Wild Roses, fresh
cut grass and Carolina Jasmine with a Sweet Orange nuance. It's
fresh & clean & the ginger is definite.
Dream Angels "Heavenly"
(Victoria's Secret type) - Clean, green, and begging to be
worn! This dreamy scent is anchored beautifully with the sandalwood
and musk. "A complex blend of floral and woody notes. Ozone
and green notes mingle into the heart of the fragrance, which
includes lavender and muguet. The undertones consist of sweet
woody notes of sandalwood and touches of powder and musk."
Honey
Harvest (L'Occitane type) - I've
had several customers ask for a good honey scent, and I think
this one is exceptional. A comforting blend of warm beeswax &
fresh honey with hints of almond and oatmeal.
Honeybell Orange - Honeybell
oranges are the sweetest, juiciest oranges we've ever tasted!
For those of you who have not been fortunate enough to experience
a Honeybell Orange, here's a little info about them: Available
only for a few weeks in January every year, Honeybells are a hybrid
of Dancy Tangerines and Duncan Grapefruits. One Honeybell grower
describes the flavor as a combination of orange, grapefruit, peach
and strawberry, with a hint of honey. They're usually shipped
with complementary bibs -- they're that juicy. This is a dripping-down-your-chin
sweet orange scent.
Oh, and if you'd like to taste
the real thing, this company is terrific: http://www.honeybell.com
Honeysuckle Kiss - New Formula
(as of 9/9/07) - We've found a honeysuckle scent that we like
even better than our original, so we're delighted to add it to
our fragrance lineup. Sweet, rich honeysuckle, with terrific staying
power.
Hydrogen - I got a sample
of this fragrance from my perfumer several months ago, but my
fragrance oil budget was a bit tight at the time so I didn't order
it. I've been thinking about it ever since, and I finally decided
I just had to have it. This is an incredibly fresh-smelling, unisex
fragrance. Clean, incredibly sexy & quite wearable. From our
perfumer: "Top fruity notes of apple, grapefruit, peach and
leafy greens; with middle notes of lily, lavender, rose and violet;
and finally base notes with amber, sandalwood, and raspberry musk."
Imagine...Happiness
(Bath & Body Works type) - This cheerful blend of fruits
and flowers begins with peach, lime and soft green petals. The
heart combines white orchid, creamy rose and lilies of the valley.
The drydown is a bright floral musk. Terrific!
Imagine...Love (Bath & Body
Works type) - A top note of sweet pineapple and bergamot leads
to a soft floral blend of white cedar, woody violet and night
blooming jasmine. The drydown is a sweet balsam, velvety amber,
sandalwood and musk. Very nice!
Imagine...Peace (Bath &
Body Works type) - Imagine a beautiful white musk with top
notes of citrus and jasmine. The heart blends soft violet, honeysuckle
and white lilies. The dry down is a sensual blend of ylang ylang
and musk. Very popular!
Instant Karma (Lush® Karma
type) - Instant Karma isn't just the name of this kicky Patchouli
blend -- it's also a rockin' John Lennon tune. It doesn't get
much better than that. ;) From our perfumer: "Clear and
focus the mind, reawaken the senses with this fragrance based
upon the Lush® Karma perfume. A meditative blend of patchouli,
sweet orange, lavendin, pine, lemongrass and elelmi, with notes
of incense, amber and musk to ground it. You'll love the tenacious
and hypnotic effect of this sensual fragrance and real esssential
oil blend."
Italian Cream Cake - Another
incredible scent, inspired by traditional Italian treats! Our
bakery-scent fans will adore this mouthwatering blend of sweet
white sugar, buttermilk, shredded coconut and a touch of pure
vanilla extract.
It's A Sin - An erotic blend
of gardenia, exotic tuberose, sweet vanilla and sexy musk, this
is so sensual and alluring. It feels good to be bad! (Leather
teddy optional)
Japanese
Cherry Blossom (Bath & Body Works type) - This
much-requested duplicate has quickly become a favorite around
here. The more I smell it, the more I like it. This is a rich,
complex and well-balanced blend. From
our perfumer: "Opening with very fresh and delicate top notes
of Mandarin, Sparkling Quince, Asian Pear and Fuji Apple, the
scent evolves... like the earliest chilly days of spring. Cool
days, soft petals falling on ground just emerging from under a
mantle of melting snow. At it's heart is the bouquet of oriental
florals...Japanese Cherry Blossom, Leafy Green Accord, White Jasmine,
Butterfly Lily, Kyoto Rose, Mimosa Petals and Hedione. The
smell of the earth, warmed by sunshine and woodsy freshness provide
a foundation warmed by the comfort notes of musks, incense and
sweet vanilla. Base notes include Vanilla Rice, Imperial Amber,
Silk Musk, Violet, Cinnamon Incense, Himalayan Cedarwood and Creamy
Sandalwood."
Jasmine - A
very light, Jasmine bouquet. It can be difficult to duplicate
the delicacy of Jasmine, and yet still have a fragrance that can
endure. Some perfumers go overboard and offer jasmines that are
really heavy and overpowering. We are happy with this formulation
and believe that you will be pleased too.
Jasmine Vanilla - I'll admit,
I'm not likely to wear a plain jasmine fragrance. Don't get me
wrong -- I do like it -- but with so many other scents to choose
from, it usually isn't my first choice. So when I got a sample
of this incredible blend from my perfumer, I couldn't believe
my nose. I LOVE IT! With just the right ratio of jasmine to vanilla,
it's a breathtaking, soft, feminine fragrance. It makes my nose
HAPPY!
Joop
(Men type) - Sophisticated and MMMM sexy, this scent is a
refined oriental, woody fragrance with exotic spices, cinnamon,
jasmine, honey, tobacco, and vetiver.
Juniper Breeze (Bath & Body
Works type) - This refreshing scent starts with a crisp floral
bouquet of jasmine, rose, Lily of the Valley and violet. Softened
by an undertone of fresh lime with fruity, subtle hints of apple,
peach, pineapple and melon, Juniper Breeze is sure to be a popular
and long-time favorite.
Kai (type) -
This much-requested fragrance is finally here -- and it's
stunning!
From our perfumer: "Kai perfume
is a cult favorite among "perfumistas," who adore its
fresh-cut gardenia fragrance. Our interpretation begins with fresh,
green aldehydic notes and island gardenia, atop a floral middle
of rose, jasmine, and muguet, with soft, sweet bottom notes of
musk, sandalwood, and vanilla. If you love white florals like
jasmine and tuberose or floral blends like Fracas and Child, our
interpretation of Kai is a must-try!"
As an interesting side note, I
found the original Kai fragrance online for $45 for a 1/8 ounce
roll-on perfume oil.
Kauai Island Blossom - LIMITED
EDITION - As you take a leisurely walk along the serene beaches
of Kauai, you can smell the exotic fragrance of island blossoms
dancing all around you, intoxicating your senses. Crystal clear
water one one side, lush emerald mountains on the other... this
is your dream world. The glorious scent of the islands is captured
in this romantic, gingery blend of tropical florals. Limited Edition
means we have a limited amount of this fragrance available, and
when it's gone, it's gone.
Kiss
Me There - If you love
our "Lick Me All Over" fragrance (and I know a lot of
you do), you'll want to roll around in "Kiss Me There"!
This is a decadent blend of pineapple, cherries and a touch of
lemon wrapped up in sweet vanilla cake with a dollop of marshmallow
cream.
Kitchen Spice (Bath & Body
Works type) - Kitchen
Spice is a harmonious blend of creamy vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon
and other spices -- all coming together to make you smile &
say "Ahhhh!" I fell in love with this scent the minute
I started warming the first test candle (watch for candles in
this scent coming soon). It's a comfortable bakery scent without
a lot of sugary notes.
Kudzu - An uplifting light
fruity combination of fresh ripe strawberries and grapes with
floral undertones of jasmine and rose petals. This scent is really
fruity & unique -- I call it "grape for grown ups"!
Lavender, Apples
& Oak - We weren't really looking for another Lavender
fragrance, but we heard so many wonderful things about this particular
blend that we decided to order some & smell it ourselves.
One sniff and we were SOLD! This is an absolutely phenomenal blend
of lavender, fresh apples and oak. Not too sweet, not too flowery,
nothing but JUST RIGHT! This is a favorite scent of one of my
very favorite customers (love you, Cay!)
Lavender
Cucumber Sage - Just
as the name implies, this is a blend of lavender, sweet cucumber
and garden sage. Herbal & green, with the emphasis slightly
more on the cucumber. Totally fresh & clean.
Lavender (Essential Oil) - Natural
lavender essential oil is absolutely wonderful for your skin,
as well as your mind! Please note that lavender essential oil
will smell different than a lavender fragrance oil (which is a
blend of natural and synthetic material). Natural lavender oil
has a somewhat camphorous scent that smells a bit medicinal to
some people. Many people like it, but if you're looking for a
more "flowery" lavender scent, we recommend our Lavender
Fields fragrance.
Lavender
Fields - A terrific floral fragrance for our customers who
love the scent of lavender. This blend is lighter and less camphorous
than lavender essential oil. Very nice!
Lavish Laundry (Victoria's Secret
type) - I find this scent somewhat difficult to describe,
because I seem to catch different notes every time I smell it.
From our perfumer: "The current trends in
scents keep leaning toward fresher, cleaner scents. Yet no one
is really willing to drop their florals or citrus notes. With
Lavish Laundry, you pretty much get all that you want! A floral
spruce blend with hints of citrus peels and red berries on a dry
down of musk..." If you like this, try our Arcadia
Leather - Rich leather,
like your favorite jacket or maybe a purse or pair of sexy pants.
This fragrance smells amazingly realistic, not fake like a lot
of leather scents we sampled. I considered naming this "Blue
Suede Shoes", but I didn't want to conjure olfactory images
of funky foot odor.
Lemon
Creme - Another creme scent blend that's delightful for so
many reasons! This is a complex blend of sugar, butter, thick
cream and juicy, tart lemon. Lightly sweet but not too sweet,
this is a beautifully well balanced lemon fragrance. A personal
favorite! From our perfumer: Sweetened with real vanilla,
to balance the tartness of the pure lemon, and touched with just
a hint of sugar... A delicious tart, soft, thick, spreadable cooked
cream, it has more lemon juice and zest and a more buttery taste
than lemon filling. With notes of lemongrass, litsea cubea, orange
oil and vanilla.
Lemon Pound Cake - A mouthwatering
blend of lemon zest and buttery yellow sponge cake with hints
of toasted coconut and buttercream frosting.
Lemon Sugar (Fresh type) - Don't
let the name fool you -- this is NOT a syrupy sweet fragrance.
It's more like a fresh lemon with just a smidgen of sweetness
-- very fresh & clean, like a cold glass of lightly sweetened
lemonade on a hot summer day. It doesn't smell like furniture
polish, like some lemon fragrances do.
Lemongrass & Sage (Bath
and Body Works type) - We fell in love with this scent duo
the very first time we smelled it, and you will too! A citrus
blend with hints of "green" notes on a background of
fresh "ozone" and a drydown of flowers & musk. This
blend is a great duplicate of the Bath and Body Works version.
Light and very fresh.
Lick Me All Over - We almost
blushed when we first saw the name of this fragrance, but we were
too intrigued not to try a sample. It just sounds so naughty!
We're pleased to report it smells delicious -- it's a fruity blend
of vanilla, orange, pineapple & cherry. Yum! If you like this
fragrance, try Energy
|
Light Blue (Dolce &
Gabbana type) - By
special customer request, we're very pleased to add this
breathtaking scent to our product line. This light floral
a balance of Sicilian Citron, Granny Smith Apples and Bluebells,
with middle notes of Jasmine, Bamboo & White Rose, with
base notes of Cedar, Amber & Musk. Another scent that's
just right for summer!
|
Lilac - Our lilac smells
just like the real thing! A sweet floral with lilac topnotes and
hints of Jasmine, white roses & lavender.
Little Black Dress - This
unique scent is sophisticated and complex, but unassuming enough
to wear on weekends with jeans & a comfy sweater. If you're
looking for a new fragrance that goes with everything in your
wardrobe, give this one a try. From our perfumer: "A custom
blend, it's one of the sexiest fragrances we have! Bottom notes
of White Carnation and blood orange are the perfect foil for the
heart notes, comprised of sandalwood, black rose, smoky wood,
and a kiss of patchouli. The top notes give a hint of toasted
vanilla bean and whiffs of vetiver, amber, and the tiniest touch
of Egyptian musk for a smoky, sexy finish. (If you hate musk,
try this anyway, I promise you won't know it is there!) This is
a big hit with the husbands and boyfriends! If I was able to fit
into one, this is what I would wear. It just screams strappy sandals
and slinky dress!"
Note: to the best of my knowledge,
this is NOT a dupe of an Avon fragrance with the same name.
L'ombre
Dans L'eau (Diptyque type) - This "Shadow In The Water"
fragrance is a very sensual floral blend. The heart is a romantic
rose, with geranium, carnation and hints of orange peel on a gentle
background of musky woods. The rose gives this unique fragrance
a very Victorian feel, but the other notes keep it from being
too heavy or overpowering.
I knew I had to have this fragrance
when I kept coming back to smell my sample of it again & again.
Even if you're not usually a fan of rose scents (I'm not), you
may want to give this one a go.
Love
Hangover (Too Faced type) - Flirty, fun & very upscale!
Tropical flowers including hibiscus and Hawaiian orange blossom
are smoothly blended with melon, sugar cane, black currant, grapefruit,
peony, and cashmere wood. I really like this scent!
Love Spell (Victoria's Secret
type) - A sweet bouquet of mandarin, bergamot and orange enhanced
by hints of peach and berries with an undertone of musk. A dead-on
duplication of Love Spell from Victoria's Secret. If you like
Love Spell, try our Magnolia
Marmalade fragrance!
Lychee
Fruit - The first word
that comes to mind when I smell this fragrance is: STRONG! Lychee
fruit (also spelled Litchi) is in the soapberry family, native
to southern China. This much-requested fragrance is tart, juicy
and absolutely unique.
Madagascar Vanilla
(Vaniglia del Madagascar -- i Profumi di Firenze type)
- We fell in love with this amazing & exotic vanilla blend
and just had to add it to our product line! From our perfumer:
"A MUST-HAVE for Vanilla lovers! A rich blend of Madagascar
Vanilla Orchid and Vanilla Bean with a sensual amber background.
Madagascar produces the world's finest vanilla. The process of
converting vanilla into a spice is very long and complicated;
hence, vanilla is one of the most expensive spices in the world.
An irresistible fragrance, this is heady, luscious and very sexy
stuff."
Magic Flute - This is one
of those unique scents that is difficult to describe -- it really
needs to be experienced. The best I can do is tell you it's warm
& clean, not too girly, and I like it. Here's how our perfumer
describes it: "An extremely enticing and warm creation of
floral, amber and exotic musks. Fresh floral top notes of lily
of the valley and jasmine, intermingling with classic bergamot
and zesty lemon. Hearty notes of exquisite rose, red clover leaf
and nuances of corn mint whisper throughout the top, mid and base
notes. A warm complex base of rich musks, vanilla, powder and
amber complete the fragrance."
Magnolia Marmalade - A mouth-watering,
fruity, floral blend of magnolia blossoms, apple, peach, strawberry,
jasmine, rose, raspberry and lavender. Bright, juicy & fresh,
not at all cloying. Don't be surprised if you find yourself wanting
to take several baths a day, just to smell it. This is a personal
favorite of ours. If you like this, try our Love
Spell (type) fragrance!
Mahogany
Spice - LIMITED EDITION - Although
I don't usually like to buy limited edition scents (I know...
"What if I really love it and want to buy more?"), this
scent is just so nice that I couldn't resist. I stocked up &
we'll see how long my stash lasts once the word gets out about
how fabulous it is. :)
An exotic blend of African mahogany
wood and Tunisian spices with an almost citrus-y freshness. This
should appeal to both men & women. Try this if you enjoy scents
like Tuscan
Cypress.
Mandarin
Martini - An Aromagik Original Scent - This swanky little
number is our own special blend of The Perfect Orange (not too
tart, not too sweet) and the sophisticated aroma of a Gin Martini
(complete with Canadian juniperberry oil, Siberian fir needle,
with a jigger of ginger and a dash of vermouth). Shaken, not stirred.
:)
Mango
Sorbetto (Tutti Dolci type) - Our duplication of the Bath
& Body Works scent is a blend of juicy, ripe tropical mango
rounded out with hints of raspberry and lemon. We were looking
for a suitable replacement for our popular Mango Madness (which
we were sad to have to discontinue!), and let me tell you -- this
is it! You have NO idea how long we searched and how many samples
of mango fragrances we sniffed, trying to find a good one! Most
of them either smelled bad or didn't smell like mangos (go figure!).
*insert sigh of relief*
Matin Calin (aka Lait Sucre
- Comptoir Sud Pacifique type) - The name of this fragrance
means "Morning Cuddle" (roughly translated), and I agree
that wearing it will inspire a hug! "Lait Sucre" means
"sugar milk" (again, roughly translated), which is a
bit more descriptive of the scent. This is lightly sweet, but
not too sugary. The warm milk notes in this scent are more prominent
than in our Sweet
Cream fragrance, in which the sweet sugar notes take center
stage. I love them both! I've even worn both together & the
aroma is quite soothing and, yes, cuddly. From our perfumer:
"With a buttery note of milk and the sweetness of sugar candy
and vanilla pod, this Comptoir Sud Pacifique® fragrance was
rendered especially for us from the original, now-discontinued
perfume, and this interpretation is true to it's name. This is
a comfort scent like a mug of warm sweet milk before bedtime.
What more could a "sweet scent" lover want?"
Milk Thistle - Limited Edition
- I have to admit, I originally ordered a sample of this fragrance
because I was intrigued by the name. Milk Thistle... makes me
think of walking the green highlands of ancient Britain. Then
when I smelled it, I discovered it smells fantastic! It's described
as white freesia petals and softwoods combined with relaxing milk
thistle. Though I'm really not sure what "milk thistle"
should smell like, I love this scent because it's so fresh &
clean. Give it a try! Limited Edition: Our perfumer is
