New fragrances are finally here!!!!

If you like Philosophy Falling In Love you'll love our Falling Head-Over-Heels In Love. Our fragrance oil rendition is a faithful reproduction of the scent that was created... ;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. An outstanding scent in bath & body products.

Amour de Cacao (Comptoir Sud Pacifique® type)~ 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.

Cranberry Fig~ This is a gorgeous Cranberry Fig, not overly sweet or syrupy in the least. If you are an avowed Fig hater, you have to try this one! Mixes nicely with Chestnut & Brown Sugar. If you love Mediterranean Fig, this oil complements it perfectly!

Snow Queen~ In Japanese mythology, Yuki-onna is a tall, beautiful woman with a long mane of wispy hair; serene and inhumanly beautiful, she is winter personified.
With the ability to transform into a cloud of mist, she floats over the snow, leaving no footprints. She is incredibly seductive, but ethereal and elusive. As a guardian of the Forest, she can represent danger but also will protect children as a mother figure. Like the snow and winter weather she represents, Yuki-onna has a softer side. In one popular Yuki-onna legend, for example, she sets a young boy free due to his beauty and age. This magical, warm and mysterious fragrance is named for the guardian of the winter wood, and it is most apt. It is an exquisite blend of Woods, Frozen Blackberry, Fig, Rose, Amber and Spices. Opening with Bergamot and Fig, it reveals a luscious heart of French Rose, Cinnamon, Frozen Blackberry. Base notes of most seductive Cedar, Balsam and Sandalwood are sweetened with Amber.

Night Spirit~ In the Southwestern United States, Hopi and Pueblo tribes commemorate the Winter Solstice with the month-long celebration of Soyaluna to guide the Sun back towards the Earth. With great reverence for the Earth and Sun, the path is carefully marked and traced with dances performed in the Kiva, a communal room reserved for rituals. This mystical scent embodies the warmth of the communal fire, the dry sensuality of the dusty Desert earth, the piercing clarity of the bright evening stars, and the soft purple blanket of Winter night. A well-balanced bouquet of nutmeg and cinnamon spices, black pepper, and chili, blended with warm amber, earthy patchouli, cedar wood, and soft, sweet vanilla. Very different, but so accessible; this will undoubtedly be a new unisex favorite!

Vaniglia del Madagascar (Profumi di Firenze™ type)~ 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.

Pomegranate Noir® (Jo Malone® type)~ Inspired by a scarlet red silk dress, this rich, tangy and sensual fragrance is delightful alone. It is the simple embodiment of sensual feminine elegance, at once luscious and deeply mysterious. Ancient pomegranate, black currant, Italian bergamot, sweet raspberry, pink pepper, opopanax, and tart plum are grounded in a complex mix of Frankincense, musk, spicy wood and Patchouli, creating a fiery and provocative blend. Like a fine wine, the first taste is a very dry and peppery fruit. Pomegranate and berries add an astringent and tart wine nuance. Moving into a deeper scent, the pepper recedes into a smoky incense and woody accord, with a twinkling spicy note. The patchouli adds to the dark depth of the scent, but it is a light, dry, earthy patchouli. Sheer, soft... surprisingly not the deep, earthy and sweet oriental one would expect based upon the name and the notes. As compelling as it is alone, it also blends beautifully with citrus and floral scents.

Aegean Mist~ The Festival of Kronos is celebrated in Greece at the Winter Solstice. During the darkest days, hobgoblins emerged from hiding to play tricks on people. In every home during this time, you will find a wooden bowl of water with a sprig of fresh basil hanging over it. The water is used daily to bless the house and large fires are burned to keep spirits from coming down the chimney. It was also a joyous time, with festivals dedicated to wine and merry making, celebrating the return of the sun. For a very unique take on the turning of the seasons, consider a more Mediterranean version of Winter. This incredibly lovely fragrance pays homage to the Celebration and Mysteries of Ancient Greece. Ethereal, sharp top notes of Basil and Anise play over the sweet, sensual heart of a floral bouquet: White Cliff Rose, Sicilian Violet, Tea Olive, Orris and Cyclamen. Base notes of Sweet Vanilla, Sandalwood, Mulberry Wood and Musk support the dry down.

London Lemon Curd~ Sweetened with real vanilla, to balance the tartness of the pure lemon, and touched with just a hint of sugar. Traditionally, lemon curd was served as a spread for scones at Afternoon tea. 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.

Belgian Chocolate~ The most elegant of chocolates, it's rich, dark and completely to-die-for! More robust than semi-sweet, this ethereal scent has a true dark chocolate heart enriched by cream, not milk. This unbelievably authentic European chocolate scent has driven everyone who has sniffed it on a mouth-watering quest for a taste. Bon Appétit!
