I’m a big fan of Fresh products, while a bit pricey, they are super high quality and all smell so wonderful! I don’t think I’ve ever tried a Fresh product that I didn’t like. They’ve come out with a great travel size skincare kit featuring their soy products. It makes it so easy to pack, just grab and go!
Soy Skincare Set, $38
It contains Soy Face Cleanser, Soy Face Exfoliant, Soy Face Serum and Soy Face Cream. They’re all packed in a sleek little white zippered case.
They’ve also come out with a travel size of their Citron de Vigne fragrance in a convenient roller ball format. This is great because fragrance is really difficult to travel with – - really, who hasn’t worried about their bottle breaking and having all your clothes perfume soaked!
Citron de Vigne Eau de Parfum Rollerball, $18.50. If you’re not familiar with this fragrance, it has top notes of neroli, bitter orange and pink grapefruit; middle notes of Fresh’s pinot noir accord, jasmine tea leaves and lemongrass; and base notes: patchouli, sandalwood and amber.
There’s a special offer available now through the end of the day 9/24… with a $100 purchase and code CITRON at checkout you get free travel sizes of Citron de Vigne shower & bath gel and body lotion!

In anticipation of the upcoming release of the film adaptation of the best-selling book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, Fresh has introduced the Fresh Eat, Pray, Love Collection of 3 fragrances and a candle set.
The first fragrance, Eat, is a sweet, effervescent scent that indulges in Italy’s most addictive desserts and sensual wines. Notes of bright Italian lemon and basil are balanced with creamy textures reminiscent of cannoli and tiramisu topped off with sparkling Prosecco and Limoncello for the ultimate gourmand experience.
Top Notes: Italian lemon, basil, bergamot
Middle Notes: plum, red currant, rose
Bottom Notes: caramel, meringue, vanilla
The second fragrance, Pray, is inspired by India’s serene sunsets, fresh soil, and traces of incense and spices that permeate warm winds, this scent has great impact and ultimately puts you at peace with a comforting blend of jasmine, pink pepper, patchouli, amber, juniper berry, cardamom, and incense.
Top Notes: elemi, pink pepper, juniper berry
Middle Notes: incense, peony, rose
Base Notes: patchouli, amber, musk
The third fragrance, Love, is a fragrance that bottles the bright, colorful, anything-is-possible feelings of falling in love. Scents of passion, like percolating pheromones, sun-caressed skin, and salty kisses, are combined with the lush aromas of Bali’s exotic landscape.
Top Notes: bergamot, red currant, mango blossom
Middle Notes: lisylang, Tiare, dewy jasmine
Base Notes: sandalwood, vetyver, velvet amber
Each fragrance comes in a 1 oz. spray bottle and is $32. The candle set ($45) includes 3 petite candles, one in each fragrance and comes in a nice decorative box.

Lemon zest, jasmine, crushed mint leaves, brown sugar? Yum, but it’s not edible, it’s Georgio Armani’s new scent Acqua di Gioia.
This was slated to be released in June, but we’re still waiting… hopefully it will be out soon!
Here’s the full description: “There is a charming sense of jubilation from the very first vegetal notes which are carried along in a deliciously heady current of crushed Mint, with a zest of Italian Limone Primo Fiore Femminelle, harvested from the first spring blossoms in Calabria.
This emotion transforms into an aquatic renaissance with a delicate and crystalline nature derived from the scent of Water Jasmine, giving the perfume sophisticated and unexpected facets. At its base, ACQUA DI GIOIA bears the signature of water rooted in the Earth, revealed by luscious Cedar sprinkled with sensuous Brown Sugar and Labdanum, which is one the rare plants to possess animal notes.”
The name is rather confusingly similar the existing Armani fragrance: Acqua di Gio (fresh notes of melon and pear with an armful of hyacinth, jasmine, rose and lily).

Lately you can’t escape the ads for the new Balenciaga fragrance – they’ve got one in almost every magazine. Usually I tear out all the stinky paper inserts in my magazines, but I think I may actually like this one. The bottle has a nice vintage look to it with a crackled ball on top of a nice looking glass vessel.
The ads are nice too, they feature the classy but not typically beautiful Charlotte Gainsbourg. She is said to be Balenciaga designer Nicolas Ghesquière’s muse.
Here is the description from Balenciaga’s website.
“BALENCIAGA PARIS is a luminous, sophisticated fragrance with beautiful ingredients shaped in an innovative structure • Both modern and classic, just like traditional haute perfumery • A Chypre Violet with the green, fresh signature of the flower and its leaves, blended into a precious harmony of pure woods • A refined, feminine fragrance with a unique trail • ”
There is also a great review of the fragrance at one of my favorite blog sites: now smell this, read it here.
You can purchase it at Neiman Marcus, $95 for 1.7 oz or $130 for 2.5 oz.

We love Fresh’s Citron de Vigne fragrance and were so happy when they came out with the matching soap and candle – well… now they have released the bath gel and lotion! Yay!
Fresh Citron de Vigne
Here’s how they describe the scent: The sun-drenched days, earthy vines, and sparkling wines of France’s Champagne region were the inspiration for the notes in this intoxicating, effervescent scent. An innovative heart note of a pinot noir accord—comprised of bergamot, dark almond, musk, white sandalwood, and rose—is combined with bubbling citrus top notes and an earthy base, resulting in a crisp and sensual blend ideal for both men and women.
You can get a FREE Citron de Vigne 14 oz. oval soap when you make an online purchase of $100 or more, using code OVALSOAP at checkout. The offer is good until March 26th!
