What are "Top Notes",
"Middle Notes" and "Base Notes" and how do
they affect scent? Read a brief explanation in our Perfumery
Notes Explained.
7-Up
Nut Cake - a ForYourNose.com original blend - This
is what happens when I mix two of my favorite scents -- I get
something truly outstanding. This is a blend of the smash hit,
7-Up
Pound Cake and my personal favorite, Nut
(type). The rich, sweet aroma of almond cake is beautifully
balanced by the sparkling citrus of the 7-Up. Yummers!
7-Up
Pound Cake - This is a mouthwatering blend of rich pound cake,
almond, lemon, lime, vanilla and sugar. The cake notes will satisfy
your craving for bakery scents, and the lemon-lime adds a wonderful
freshness to the blend.
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.
Açai
Berry - Berry scents
are hot! This is ripe açai berries with just the right
amount of bold sweetness. To me, this smells like a warm and inviting
simmering berry scent.
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 phenomenally
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!
Apple
Pumpkin Butter - Fall
in love with another fragrance that's perfect for fall! This is
more apple than pumpkin, but the pumpkin adds a nice sweetness
and really rounds it out & keeps it from being as spicy as
a lot of apple butter scents. From our perfumer: "top notes
of orange, apple, pear, pineapple, and cherries; middle notes
of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove; with base notes of warm
vanilla." Deeelish!
Apples
& Oak - Fresh, clean
and perfect for fall! This is a lovely blend of crisp McIntosh
and Granny Smith apples, with woody oak leaves and oakmoss. If
lavender isn't your thing (so you're not into my popular Lavender,
Apples & Oak fragrance), you should give this a try.
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 wallop! 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 irresistible!"
Autumn
Wreath (Yankee Candle type) - This
fragrance is ONLY for Smelling
Salts & Scent
Sacks (and tarts
when I have a chance to add them to the site). A
super strong blend of autumn leaves, cinnamon apples, nutmeg and
clove. Get the Smelling
Salts and fill your home with the fragrance of autumn!
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
Hemp - Bright, fresh and green, this earthy-herbal scent is
a blend of bamboo, vetiver and patchouli balanced with hemp and
oakmoss.
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, ethereal 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, Kumquat, 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)
Basmati
Rice - The delicate aromatics of perfectly-cooked basmati
rice come together to form this gentle fragrance. The fruity and
floral components of this blend are actually quite complex, but
the smooth powder, subtle spice and creamy vanilla are what really
tickle your nose. This is a very relaxing scent.
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!
Berry
Splash - Bold, flirty,
fruity and fun! This blend starts out with blackberry, peach and
apricot top notes which merge with mandarin orange, a little bit
of cinnamon and rose, then closes with a touch of woodsy musk.
This is a very juicy & long-lasting scent.
Birthday Cake - I'll admit
it... I'm on an ongoing quest for the yummiest, most mouthwatering
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
Amethyst (Bath & Body Works type) - This
alluring scent is a blend of aquatic top notes, bergamot, camellias
and lime, and sandalwood and vetiver base notes.
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
Cherry & Vanilla - A ForYourNose original blend - So
when I found this fabulously creamy & sweet vanilla and created
my Vanilla
Amber masterpiece, I decided to have some fun and see what
else would blend well with it. This isn't your mama's Cherry Vanilla
-- it's rich and delicious and you'll want to smell it forever.
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
Silk & Amber - Such
a sexy, sophisticated scent! This is a sensual blend of fresh
cotton, crisp ozone, white floral notes, and a base of amber,
musk and patchouli.
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.
Blissful
Blackberry (Bath and Body Works type) - It's
probably pretty obvious that I'm partial to blackberry scents,
and this one is exceptionally nice. Rather than a tart & juicy
blackberry like my Citrus
Blackberry scent (which I also love), this one is smooth and
rich, balanced with light floral notes that make it irresistibly
wearable.
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.
Botrytis
(Ginestet type) - I'm in love with this scent! This warm and
sensual blend features honey, fruits and soft flowers with hints
of gingerbread. Sophisticated and very pretty, very memorable.
Brown
Sugar & Fig (Bath & Body Works type) - This
is a really interesting fragrance that's both sensual and clean.
This is not a sweet or bakery brown sugar scent; the focus is
on fresh figs. Very nice!
Brown
Sugar & Nutmeg - I've been partial to nutmeg scents lately,
and this one is irresistible! Sweet, lush brown sugar and fresh-grated
nutmeg are a terrific duo.
Bubble
Luscious - Pure bubble
gum goodness! Bubble Luscious smells like a juicy pink bubble
gum. This playful scent features a terrific blend of strawberry,
citrus, coconut and vanilla with the barest hint of spice. This
is a little different than my Bubblegum
Pop Star fragrance, which has more apple notes. Try them both!
Bubblegum
Pop Star - Oooh, yeah! Bubble gum for grown ups! Flirty and
juicy, I smell apples and maybe even a hint of spice in the depths
of this sweet and gooey deliciousness. This is different than
Bubble Luscious, but just as fabulous.
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...
Butt
Naked - A customer requested
this scent, and because there are so many different fragrances
with this name I started my search for a really good one. Wait
til you smell what I found! This is a knockout blend of tart granny
smith apples, honeydew melon and strawberries with a touch of
pears and spice. Fruity, flirty and fun, the more I smell it,
the more I like it.
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.
Candy
Cane - It's back, and better than ever! This is a gorgeous
rendition of the classic candy cane scent, with brisk peppermint
and a kiss of vanilla sugar. Try it in salt scrubs for a refreshing
exfoliator for your feet!
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!
Celtic
Moonspice - It's finally
here! For those of you who haven't heard of this popular scent,
Celtic Moonspice is a friendly blend of subtle spices kissed by
a light sweetness. There's cinnamon, clove and nutmeg in there,
but it's not as spicy as you'd expect from most spice blends.
It's just a nicely balanced fragrance that is very warm and comfy.
Fractal "MA-2" courtesy
of Keith Arnold
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 blossom and peony are less obvious supporting
elements. Overall, the impression is that of a woody floral, very
exotic, but sweet and accessible. 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
Amber (Bath & Body Works type) - This
is not a sweet or candy-like chocolate scent. It takes the mysterious
allure of amber and gently wraps it in sensual chocolate. I consider
this a unisex scent.
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, mesmerizing 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."
Coco
Mango - A summery blend of ripe mango and sweet toasted coconut,
with hints of strawberry, elderberry and papaya, rounded out with
rich vanilla. I tested a lot of coco mango scents, and the coconut
was usually overpowered or smelled fake. This one is just right!
Coco
Mango Smoothie - A
ForYourNose original blend - I took my already-fabulous Coco
Mango scent and mixed it with a sweet vanilla to give it a
creamy boost. The result is absolutely delicious, and it really
enhances the coconut.
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
Milk Lavender - Two great
scents that smell great together. The lavender is mild and gentle,
and the coconut milk and adds just the right amount of creamy
sweetness, without being too sweet. Together they make a scent
that's relaxing, sophisticated and very fresh.
Coconut
Pineapple - LIMITED EDITION - 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!
Cookie
Jar - Cookie Jar is a
deliciously sweet & rich sugar cookie scent, with extra buttery
notes and a touch of almond for nuttiness. Mouthwatering!
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 Spice - Cranberries
and oranges just seem to go together, and this blend is exceptionally
nice. Throw in some satsuma, yuzu, tangerine, peach and hints
of spice, and you've got a really terrific scent that's tart and
spicy. (This is replacing my "Cranberry Orange Sorbet")
Crazy
Caramel Corn (Bath & Body Works type) - I
think what's crazy about this fragrance is that it doesn't really
smell much like caramel -- but it's a spot on duplication of hot,
buttered movie theater popcorn. I got this as a special request
for a friend of mine who just loves it, and I'm glad I did. This
is a really strong scent that makes an exceptionally nice Scent
Sack.
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 ozone-y notes of fresh green ferns,
vetyver, and cyclamen. I love this scent!
Crystal
Ginger Tea - I LOVE this
fragrance! This is a crystallized 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
Cantaloupe - This is
a fun new twist on cucumbers and melons. Very fresh and summery,
the cantaloupe adds a slightly more pronounced aroma to the blend
than you usually get from a straight honeydew & cucumber scent.
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."
Daisy
(Marc Jacobs type) - Summer! Even those who don't usually
dig florals will want to give this one a try. The top notes are
jasmine and tangy lemon, the middle notes are daylily, rose petals
and african violet, and the base is cedar, patchouli and musk
(none of which overpower the blend, for those of you who aren't
into patchouli or woodsy scents). Try wearing this when you want
to feel extra pretty and soft.
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
Dragon - This exotic
fragrance is a blend of myrrh, dragon's blood and patchouli, combined
with rose and jasmine on a base of woods and musk. This is similar
to my popular Dragon Quest scent, but it's fresher & less
sweet.
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.
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.
French
Vanilla & Oak - It
took a while to find a vanilla oak scent that made my picky nose
happy, but I think you'll agree it was worth the wait. This is
such a beautiful synergy of gentle, non-bakery vanilla and clean
oak! Not too sweet, not too woody, just a very sophisticated and
clean blend of the two. This works just as well in bath products
and perfumes as it does as a home fragrance. Try it in Smelling
Salts!
Fresh
Outdoors - This multifaceted
scent really brings to mind the feeling of being outdoors on a
beautiful day. Fresh ozone and citrus lead to a floral blend of
jasmine and lily, then it's all balanced with a little cedar and
pine and a hint of warm spice and clear musk.
Fresh
Pineapple - I've searched
for years to find a good pineapple scent that didn't turn funky
or fade when you wear it, and I finally found one! This is a really
nice fresh pineapple scent, with just the right amount of juicy
sweetness.
Fresh
Pineapple & Tuscan Cypress fragrance description
A ForYourNose.com original
blend
This blend is amazing, if I do
say so myself. The hearty, woodsy cypress is perfectly balanced
by juicy fresh pineapple.
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!
Fruity
Loops - My first reaction
to this scent was, "Why would I want to smell like a breakfast
cereal?" But then I tested it in a body lotion and decided
it smelled pretty darn yummy. And why not? It's a blend of all
the things I love: lemon, lime and grapefruit zests, vanilla sugar,
and hints of lemongrass lily and verbena to round it out. Follow
your nose!
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 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.
Gingerbread
Applesauce - More than
a spiced apple, more than a mulled cider, this unique blend smells
just like the name implies -- like fresh-baked gingerbread and
warm applesauce. Sweet and spicy, but not cloying or overbearing.
For me this was love at first sniff.
Gingercakes
- This is so much more
rich and complex than a regular gingerbread scent, and I just
love it. It has top notes of orange, lemon and bergamot, balanced
with middle notes of ginger, nutmeg, honey and clove, and rounded
out with base notes of vanilla bean and cocoa. Please note:
This is a fantastic fragrance for scenting your home, but the
spice level in this scent may cause skin irritation so it should
NOT be used in triple-scented products or perfumes.
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.
Grapefruit
Mango - Quite possibly
the perfect summer scent, this is a delightfully refreshing blend
of two types of grapefruit combined with juicy mango, and anchored
by middle notes of cucumber and honeydew, all on a vanilla base.
I absolutely loved the skin tests of this scent; it wears extremely
well.
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
Clover & Aloe - You
want fresh? I'll give you fresh! This is the epitome of all things
green and lovely. If you like bright herbal scents, this is for
you. Equally fantastic as a body cream as it is in linen sprays
and soaps. This was hugely popular with my testers.
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."
Iced
Lemon Biscotti - A customer
suggested this scent, and I was delighted to be able to find it
for her. This is a terrific lemon bakery scent that's heavier
on the butter notes than my Lemon
Cream Cheese Cupcake fragrance. You can really smell the biscotti
in this one.
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!
Indian
Sandalwood - My original
Sandalwood fragrance is very popular, but I've had a few requests
for a more traditional, woodsy sandalwood. Here you go!
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.
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.
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!
Lavender
Martini - This fresh
and clean blend got a big thumbs up from Todd, and he's not usually
a big lavender fan. Tangy lemon zest, orange and a bit of effervescence
is mixed with bergamot, mint and lavender, all tied together with
a rosewood base. Fantastic.
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
Cream Cheese Cupcake - This fragrance is phenomenal! The crisp
lemon is perfectly balanced by the sweet, creamy bakery notes.
This will replace my Lemon Pound Cake fragrance, because I think
it's a better blend and it wears better on skin.
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
Lavender - I've been
trying to find a good lemon lavender blend for several years and
I even tried blending my own, but I just couldn't find one I liked
-- until now. This smooth herbal blend is enhanced with a touch
of sweet orange and hints of eucalyptus, and balanced with orange
blossom, green notes and a woodsy base.
Lemon
Sage Ginger -ALL-NATURAL ESSENTIAL OIL BLEND - This
all-natural essential oil blend has an almost addictive freshness.
The three notes are expertly blended, with a slight emphasis on
the lemon. Don't let the ginger component scare you; it's like
a freshly-grated ginger, not overpowering or overly spicy. The
sage adds just enough green, and all three scents come together
for a very clean fragrance. I love this blend, and I think you
will, too.
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
Bites - Everyone who
has smelled this fragrance loves it, even Todd. In fact, when
I was testing it he made a special point of mentioning that he
really liked it. It starts with fresh orange and sparkling lime,
and is sweetened by playful cherries and berries. It's balanced
with leafy greens and a base of sweet vanilla. If you like my
"Lick Me All Over" and "Kiss Me There", you'll
want to try this.
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*
Mangosteen
- What a juicy and unique
fragrance! Think peaches and citrus with subtle hints of light
flowers. This is a blend of mandarin, yuzu, and lemon with mangosteen,
guava, green melon, red currant, vanilla musk and a hint of coconut
palm. This reminds me a bit of of my limited edition "Bloomin'
Peaches" scent.
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?"
Midnight
Pomegranate (Bath & Body Works type) - I
love this. Unlike many other sweet pomegranate scents (which I
really like a lot), this has something sexy and mysterious about
it. This is a blend of juicy pomegranate, bergamot, iris and jasmine;
boldly balanced with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, all on a base
of precious woods and cedar.
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
discontinuing this fragrance, so we have a limited amount in stock.
When our supply is gone, we'll have to discontinue it as well.
Mojito
- Fresh & clean,
just like the drink! From our perfumer: "...strong top notes
of juicy lime and sugar; balanced with mint leaves and rum."
Money
- When my perfumer said
they had formulated a scent that smells like freshly minted money,
I was skeptical. But my curiosity was piqued so I got a sample.
What a pleasant surprise! Not only does it smell like the ink
and paper of fresh money (before it circulates and the general
population gets their stank all over it), it really smells clean
and appealing. Now I won't tell you it'll bring you wealth or
good luck or any such nonsense, but just think how fun it'll be
when people ask you what that lovely scent is that you're wearing
and you can tell them, "I'm wearing Money."
Moonlight Path (Bath & Body
Works type) - A light musk bouquet enhanced by exotic woods,
with a hint of flowers. Words cannot do justice to this exquisite
and haunting fragrance!This does NOT smell exactly like the Bath
& Body Works version, but it's a wonderful scent nonetheless.
Myrrh
- I am in love with this
rich yet delicate scent. If you like amber and vanilla scents,
you'll love the warm sweetness of Myrrh.
Mystic Breeze - Crisp &
light, this fragrance has a hint of floral, but I would consider
it a peaceful, clean scent rather than a floral scent. This one
makes me think of a calm summer breeze, or fresh laundry hanging
on the clothesline. I love to wear this scent. Give it a try!
If you like this scent, you may also like our Cotton
Blossom (type)
Nag Champa -
This unique fragrance can best be described as a light, powdery
floral. We've found a fragrance that's a dead-on duplicate of
our popular Satyi Sai
Baba Nag Champa incense, and we're making it available in
a wide variety of Aromagik Essentials products. Though we're
not overly fond of florals and we almost never like powdery scents,
we love this scent. Go figure! This fragrance is always a best
seller.
New
Car Scent - Smells like
a new car with leather interior! This makes a perfect Scent
Sack, but the leather notes make it pretty darn sexy as a
bath & body fragrance, too.
Nut
(The Body Shop type) - Move
over Pink
Sugar & Amour
de Cacao -- there's a new sweetie in town! This luscious bit
of nose candy is a blend of fruity vanilla, cotton candy, sweet
almond, hawthorn & maple. It makes me think of super-moist
almond cake, so moist you can almost wring it out. Really,
I can't get over how much I like this scent. Wish I could eat
it. (You know that means you'll smell positively edible,
right?)
Nutcracker
- This may seem like
a seasonal fragrance and it will definitely be extra nice around
the holidays, but I can't stop smelling it and I know I'm going
to be wearing it all year long. The smooth nutty notes are subtle,
but they still take center stage, which I really like. This complex
fragrance starts with top notes of butter, almond, mardarin orange,
lemon, herbaceous lime, and pineapple with nutty notes, maple,
clove, cinnamon, spicy berry notes, sage, lavender, jasmine, and
ozonic notes, with a dry down of creamy vanilla coconut, amber
woods, cedarleaf, cedarwood, sandalwood, and exotic musks. That
said, words simply don't do this remarkable scent justice; you've
GOT to smell it for yourself.
Oakmoss
- A very earthy and powerful scent, our Oakmoss is a blend
of cedarwood and patchouli with a background of moss and touches
of jasmine and rose.
Orange Clove - A bold blend
of orange peels and zests enhanced by clove leaves and buds; this
is sure to satisfy your search for the perfect spicy orange scent.
If you're looking for a sweeter orange & spice blend, try
our orange
pomander.
Orange Vanilla - Smooth
& creamy, this is the perfect blend of sweet & tangy orange
with mouthwatering vanilla. This is not an "in your face"
citrus scent, but rather a dreamy, mellow blend. Smells good enough
to eat, but please don't!
Original Musk (type)
[compare with Kiehl's® Original Musk Blend
No. 1 brand]
There are a lot of musk scents
out there, and I've spent a long time searching for one that's
truly memorable. This is it.
From our perfumer: "A great
unisex scent. Kiehl's® Original Musk Oil is believed to have
been created in the 1920's at the "Kiehl Apothecary."
In 1958, it was discovered in a drum labeled simply "Love
Oil". Reintroduced in
1963, it became a huge hit in the '60's and '70's. A scent that
has layers of time travel...back to the '60's, the '50s, the '20's...and
even earlier. Musk was a scent favored in ancient Egypt for perfumery
and has long been associated with the Land of the Nile.
Back again, in it's sensual warmth,
our version is a ringer for the original scent. Probably more
masculine (than feminine) out of bottle, it mellows beautifully
on the skin. With notes of patchouli, ylang ylang and rose to
temper the musk like the original vintage fragrance, it also is
a great blender. It's rich and smooth and just gets better and
better as you wear it."
Paradise
Cove - I can almost feel the sand between my toes when I smell
this fragrance! This is clean & gently floral with fruity
top notes.
From our perfumer: "...a sparkling
fragrance with salt water and fresh air notes. This fragrance
begins with notes of nectarine, bird of paradise, and water lily,
followed by middle notes of passion flower, orchid, and hyacinth.
A well-rounded fragrance empowered by fresh air and salt water
notes."
Patchouli Champa - We've
taken two tremendously popular fragrances - earthy, rich
Dark Patchouli and exotic, powdery Nag
Champa - and blended them together for a brilliant new scent!
This blend should be popular with Patchouli lovers and Champa
fans alike. Another Aromagik original blend!
Patchouli
Lavender
ForYourNose.com Original All-Natural Essential Oil Blend
If you're a patchouli fan, you'll
want to try our all-natural blend of Dark Patchouli essential
oil and Lavender Essential oil. Lavender is relaxing and Patchouli
eases anxiety and reduces mental fatigue. This is very earthy.
Patchouli Orange - Aromagik
Original - I've been meaning to experiment with this fragrance
combination for ages, and I was finally inspired to sit down &
blend it after receiving a special customer request. This marriage
of earthy patchouli and juicy, fresh orange is a 100% natural
blend of Patchouli Essential Oil and Five-Fold Sweet Orange
Essential Oil.
 Patchouli
Peppermint - My perfumer
calls this fragrance "Hippie Christmas" but my minions
weren't too keen on that name so I settled on Patchouli Peppermint,
despite the fact that I had already found this swell graphic of
Santa rockin' out. :)
Patchouli fans will dig this groovy
blend of patchouli, sandalwood and peppermint, rounded out with
hints of berries and vanilla.
Patchouli Rose - This Aromagik
original blend marries the dark earthiness of
Patchouli with the heady floral of Red
Roses for an unforgettable combination that Patchouli fans
will simply love. It took some experimenting before we found just
the right ratio of patchouli to rose, and we think you'll enjoy
the exotic results.
Patchouli Sandalwood - Earthy
& classic, for this blend we use 100% natural patchouli essential
oil blended with a sweet sandalwood fragrance oil, to round it
out. If you like patchouli but don't want a strong patchouli,
we recommend this blend. This fragrance gained popularity in the
60's and it continues to be a favorite of our customers, both
male and female. An Aromagik original blend.
Patchouli Vanilla - Patchouli
blends are always popular, and this one is especially nice. The
raw earthiness of patchouli is softened and balanced by rich,
sweet vanilla.
Peach Smoothie - More than
your average Peaches & Cream fragrance, this is a rich peach
ice cream scent -- sweet & creamy, with a distinctly peach
perfume. Lush & delicious!
Perfect Cranberry (was "Just
Cranberry") - This cranberry is anything but ordinary!
I tried lots of cranberry fragrances before I found this one.
It's rich and full, without those nasty chemical notes you'll
find in a lot of cranberry scents. Watch for this single-note
fragrance to be used in exclusive Aromagik fragrance blends in
the future. From our perfumer: "This is not a tart cranberry,
it is a very lively in-your-face fragrance with a hint of caramelized
sugar. This is our fantasy interpretation of what we want a cranberry
to smell like!"
Perfect Peach (was Just Peachy)
- From one of our newest perfumers -- even better FRESH peach
fragrance! Sweet, juicy and very peachy. You can smell the
skin and the syrupy juice from a fresh peach. Makes my mouth water,
longing for one of my favorite summer fruits!
Perfect
Pear (New Formula as of 9/9/07) - We didn't think pear could
get any better than our original Perfect Pear. We were wrong!
This juicy, ripe pear fragrance has an amazing depth and staying
power. Very intense and realistic.
Petals & Cream - Gentle
flowers with a kiss of sweet creamy vanilla. The layers of this
surprisingly complex fragrance reveal themselves as you wear it.
Very feminine and pretty.
Pink
Cocoa - a ForYourNose.com original scent - What
happens when you take two phenomenal scents and put them together?
Pure olfactory bliss, that's what. If you like Pink Sugar (type)
and Amour de Cacao (type), you'll love Pink Cocoa.
Pink Grapefruit - This Pink
Grapefruit is just the right balance of tart freshness, without
the bitter overtones that so many grapefruit scents seem to have.
This (or any of our citrus fragrances, for that matter) is the
perfect morning pick-me-up scent, especially in a body wash. If
you like this fragrance, try these: Energy,
Bergamot,
Citrus
Blackberry
Pink
Sugar (Aquolina type) - I have to admit, I never thought I'd
want to smell like cotton candy (well, past 4th grade, that is).
But...WOW! Our dead-on duplicate of Aquolina Pink Sugar is phenomenal!
Sweet & playful -- and incredibly wearable. This is a really
complex blend, and it's by far the very best Pink Sugar out there.
From our perfumer: "A duplication of [the] very popular Aquolina
fragrance, this is a delicate scent, sweet, light-hearted and
innocent. It smells of Cotton Candy, Vanilla and Caramel. But
it's also lightened with a fresh Bergamot and orangy citrus top
note, with touches of Berries, Muget, Strawberry, Plum, and a
dry-down of Dry Fig Leaves, Musk, Anise, Musk and Woods."
Pink
Vanilla Flan - A ForYourNose Original Scent - A luscious blend
of Pink
Sugar (Aquolina type) and our creamy Vanilla
Flan. Sweet bakery fans will adore this mouthwatering blend.
Pizzelle
- Also known as Italian
Waffle Cookies, Pizzelles bring back happy memories of my own
childhood. My mother still makes them sometimes for the holidays.
When I smell this I can easily visualize biting into one and the
crisp feel of it before the melt-in-your-mouth flavor hits my
tongue. This is a "plain" pizzelle scent (though I hesitate
to say that because this delicious fragrance is anything but plain),
without the anise extract that's used in some recipes.
Plumeria
- We sampled a lot of different plumeria scents before we
found this one, and our search was over! This is a rich, complex
plumeria with lots of character. A slight floral undertone enhances
the fruity, but not sweet, scent. Definitely a winner for plumeria
fans!
Pocketful
of Posies - A charming
bouquet of rose, magnolia, gardenia, tuberose and iris blossom.
Very pretty, very feminine, very memorable!
Primal Rain - A complex
blend of air, water & sweet woods -- lush and sensual.
From our (rather poetic) perfumer:
"Rain showers fall upon leaves while giving fresh life to
wild flowers in bloom. Fir, pine, balsam, and Cedarwood trees
stretch so high they touch the stars. Morning breaks with dew
soaked grassland; while the air is fresher than the freedom you
feel standing alone in the green paradise."
Princess
(Vera Wang type) -Romantic,
playful & flirty, Princess is a stunning fragrance for summer.
Here's a description of this
complex fragrance: Top notes of water lilies, lady apples, mandarin
and golden ripe apricot are intertwined with sheer floral notes
including Tahitian Tiare and Wild Tuberose, touched with dark
chocolate. Bottom notes of pink frosting, amber, warm woods, musk
and vanilla.
Provence (Clean type) - Our
version of the original "Clean"
fragrance has been so overwhelmingly popular that I just had to
try a sample of this scent, based on a perfume from the same company.
It was love at first sniff! From our perfumer: "Part
of the Randi Shinder's Clean® line introduced in 2003, Provence
is a 'soft, fresh, beautiful scent captured by the fine milled
soaps of France.' Reminiscent of pure soap and water or freshly
laundered linens. This delicate, airy and "just-lathered"
fresh fragrance has something comforting about it... like being
in a beautiful open field of sweet hay on the first day of Spring.
Infused with notes of Provencal lemon, cotton blossom, rose geranium,
sweet lime and soft violet musk."
Pumpkin
Crunch Cake - This
fragrance is ONLY for Home scenting (Smelling
Salts & Scent
Sacks) - So many
of the pumpkin pie scents I've tested are too heavy on the spices
& the sweet pumpkin gets lost. This one is well-balanced and
delicious! This is a mouthwatering blend of sweet pumpkin, sweetened
condensed milk, yellow cake, butter, pecans and spices. So yummy!
Pumpkin
& Green Fig - At once green & earthy - an outstanding
blend of sumptuous spiced pumpkin and fresh green figs that begs
to be worn. Never cloying, just lush & warm. Not just for
women; I think our male customers will be pleasantly surprised
at how much they like this one. From
our perfumer: "Airy, green fig gives this unique fragrance
a lift that is as fresh as the fall harvest air. Soft notes of
pumpkin, clove, and nutmeg round out this fragrance while giving
a natural feeling of warmth. This is a nice, not too spicy scent
that is extremely fresh smelling even with dominant notes of pumpkin
through and through."
Pumpkin
Muffin - The mouthwatering
aroma of fresh-baked pumpkin muffins with just the right amount
of spice. This is sweeter than our Pumpkin
Souffle fragrance. This warm & cozy scent is perfect for
fall, but I already know I'm going to be wearing it year 'round.
Pumpkin Soufflé - I
searched long and hard for a really good pumpkin scent, and I
finally found the one that's FORYOURNOSE-worthy. All the other
ones I tried were too heavy on the spices, overpowering the aroma
of baked pumpkin. This is a creamy pumpkin pie wonderfully balanced
with just the right amount of spices. From our perfumer: "A
sweet, rich pumpkin soufflé with a delicious buttery nuance
tempered by the perfect spice blend. The earthy sweetness of the
pumpkin comes through with a well-balanced blend of clove, nutmeg,
allspice and ginger, and just the right amount of cinnamon."
If you want a sweeter pumpkin scent,
try our Pumpkin
Muffin.
Pure Grace (Philosophy type)
- A light & soft floral that's fresh and very feminine.
Sure to be a timeless classic! If you like our version of Philosophy's
Amazing
Grace, give Pure Grace a try! From our perfumer: "A
lighter, softer, crisper interpretation of the original Amazing
Grace® (type) fragrance, our Pure Grace® duplication is
a clean, transparent blend with fresh blossoms of bergamot, water
lily, lavender, and jasmine, and cool greens laced with sensual,
frosty musk."
Raindrops
- A beautifully balanced
fresh & clean unisex scent that's perfect for wearing or for
fragrancing your home or car. Neither too soft nor too sharp,
Raindrops is an instant classic. From
our perfumer: "Fresh
aquatics with very, very light white florals yield to a harmonious
blend of musks and sandalwoods..."
Raspberry
Lemonade - This is another
scent I've been searching for everywhere, and finally found one
that didn't turn funky or fade when you wear it. This is a fantastic
blend of sweet-tart lemonade and fresh raspberries, and it wears
really well.
Raspberry
Truffles- This is a sweet
& fruity candy blend all the way! It doesn't smell like fresh
raspberries, nor does it smell strongly of chocolate. But while
it's definitely a candy scent, it somehow manages to be sort of
fresh & not cloying. It's a fun & flirty fusion of cheeky
sweetness!
Raspberry Zinger - This
delicious fragrance is so realistic, it made me go on a quest
for the real thing. From our perfumer: "Ever eaten a Hostess
Raspberry Cream filled Zinger? Well, we have duplicated the aroma.
This wonderful creative scent begins with sweet raspberry and
toasted coconut, middle notes of buttercream frosting, and bottom
notes of freshly baked yellow sponge cake. Makes you very hungry!"
Red Clover Tea - This fragrance
has a delightful sparkle that appeals to both men & women.
It's a delicious fruity floral blend that's as innocent as it
is sophisticated. Notes of fresh jasmine, lily of the valley,
violets and lavender topped off with notes of fresh ripe peaches
and raspberries. This was a hands-down winner with all our testers.
You'll definitely want to wear this one!
Red Roses - Our faithful
rendition of this beautiful fragrance is warm & full-bodied.
Enjoy your summer garden all year long with a marvelous adaptation
of this true, classic, well-loved favorite!
Rice Flower & Shea (Bath
& Body Works type) - I had to fight the urge to rename
this fragrance, but I know many of my customers recognize fragrance
names from Bath & Body Works, so the name stays. 'Rice Flower
& Shea' doesn't even begin to do justice to this delicate,
sweet blend. Rice flower sounds so bland, and I've smelled shea
- this blend is far beyond that. This is not a strong or overpowering
scent by any means, but I think it's delightful in its simplicity.
This is a sweet warm musk with light floral top notes of jasmine
and lilac.
Rice
Pudding - A spicy tapioca-like
scent with top notes of milk, almond and ginger, middle notes
of jasmine & clove, and white musk and vanilla base notes.
Not too sweet, and lightly powdery.
Rivermoss - Rivermoss is
the feminine companion scent for our Sapmoss (type) fragrance.
(Be sure to read our Sapmoss
fragrance description!) This is a sophisticated blend of Sapmoss
(type) and sweet Hibiscus. Our Sapmoss and Rivermoss perfumes
are perfectly balanced and made to work with each other. You know
you were meant to be together, and now you can even SMELL like
you're meant to be together. Earthy (but not too earthy), intriguing,
and absolutely unique! A foryournose.com original scent. If you
like this, try our Watermoss
-- another FORYOURNOSE original blend.
Rootbeer
- Oooooh yeah! This smells
just like a big frosty mug of thirst-quenching rootbeer. Refreshing,
sweet, playful and delicious!
Rose
Hips & Jasmine - I've
learned a lot about rose hips since discovering this delightful
scent. Rose hips are the cherry-sized red fruits of the rose bush
left behind after the bloom has died. They're described as fruity
and spicy, much like cranberries. It's interesting to note that
they contain 20 times more vitamin C than oranges.
The tartness of rose hips is blended
with the sweet floral of jasmine, with notes of geranium &
carnation to round it out. The rose is obvious in this fragrance,
but it is a mysterious & sultry blend to be sure.
Rosemary Mint - A well-balanced
blend of invigorating, uplifting rosemary and cool, soothing mint.
In times past, rosemary was considered the herb of fidelity, love
and lasting friendship.
Sage & Citrus
- How is this scent different from our immensely popular version
of 'Lemongrass & Sage' (B&BW type)? Compare & contrast:
Both are bright, herbal blends. Our 'Lemongrass & Sage' highlights
the green scent of lemongrass with a hint of sage. In this fabulous
new blend of Sage & Citrus, it's the sage that takes center
stage with a splash of citrus. Throw in some subtle background
notes to smooth it out, and you've got a fragrance that you'll
keep wanting to smell over & over. This may or may not be
similar to other blends being sold with the same name. This is
the first version I received from my perfumer, and I knew I didn't
need to look any further. Yeah, it's that good.
Sake
(Fresh type) - An exotic and fresh blend of fruit and flowers
with an exquisite balance. Sweet but not cloying -- very bright
and nice! From our perfumer: "Rich and velvety, our luscious
interpretation is a blend of white peach absolute and sparkling
langsat fruit creates a vibrant, sensually alluring combination.
Gentle, flowery undertones of lotus flower and transparent lily
of the valley mingle with the sensuality of warm musk and osmanthus
flower... It comes together to make an altogether memorable and
lasting delicate green and floral perfume, and layers beautifully
with the sharper notes still present in leave on products."
Sampaquita (Ormonde Jayne type)
- Our perfumer says the Sampaquita flower is a symbol of purity
and fragility, coupled with fidelity and resolve. Sampaquita means
"I promise you". This blend starts with top notes of
lychee, green grass, bergamot and magnolia. The middle notes are
Sampaquita absolute, freesia, muguet, rose and water lilies. The
blend softly ends with bottom notes of musk, vetiver, moss and
ambrette seed. This is a very green and fresh scent that reminds
me of walking in a field on a warm summer day.
Sandalwood
- This haunting and mysterious yet soft fragrance is an scent
that has been used continuously since ancient times for its rich,
warm, Oriental aroma. This is a somewhat sweet-smelling sandalwood
type scent. A fragrance classic!
Sandalwood
Acai - A ForYourNose original blend - Wow,
what a combo! I took my ever-popular sandalwood fragrance and
blended it with my warm and sensual acai berry fragrance and the
result is very rich and sexy.
Sandalwood
Amber - A ForYourNose original blend - I
love my customers. This blend was suggested by one of my many
wonderful customers, and I think it's just fantastic. It's sensual,
mysterious and very, very sexy. If you like sandalwood and amber,
you really need to smell how well they play together.
Sandalwood
Lemon - a ForYourNose original scent - This
is my own blend of earthy sandalwood and fresh lemon. It's bright,
clean and exotic -- and terrific for men or women.
Sandalwood Rose - Even if
you aren't a big fan of straight rose scents (we aren't), you
should give this one a try. It's a very unusual musky & earthy
blend, with just a wisp of floral. It reminds me of an exotic
natural incense-type fragrance, but it's not overbearing at all.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that I really enjoy wearing
this scent.
Sapmoss (Aveda type) - Occasionally
I'll get a fragrance sample that intrigues my nose so much that
I just can't seem to put it down. This is one of those fragrances.
At first sniff it's quite earthy, but then you sniff again...and
again...and your nose discovers the subtle undertones of musk
and vanilla. This is another one of those scents that I can't
stop smelling; the more I smell it, the more I like it. Although
this is a unisex fragrance, we think men will especially like
it, so we've also created a companion scent for women - 'Rivermoss'
- which blends Sapmoss with Hibiscus for a unique feminine scent.
From our perfumer: "A dead-on
copy of Aveda's Sapmoss fragrance, which they use in shampoo and
conditioner. A very unusual and earthy blend, with top notes of
natural petigrain and galbanum, leading to a floral-herbal middle
of yellow rose, cyclamen, and green notes. Much of this fragrance's
character comes from strong bottom notes of natural olibanum,
patchouli, sandalwood, and Virginia cedarwood oil, along with
rich musk and Madagascar vanilla. BOTTOM LINE: Extremely earthy
and natural smelling -- very much in keeping with Aveda's mission
to offer only all-natural or largely natural scents. Far from
pretty or perky or sweet; if J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth had
an official fragrance, it would be this."
Satsuma
Orange - The satsuma is a delicate, easy-to-peel variety of
Mandarin orange that originated in China and was introduced to
Japan by a Buddhist monk. This is a bright, fresh orange juice
scent. It's not too tart, not too sweet, with hints of light florals
and rounded out with a little bit of lime, mango & peach.
Sensuous
(Estee Lauder type) - This sexy scent is a fantastic blend
of musk, warm amber, sandalwood and red cedar, with delicate floral
notes of lilies and violets, with a touch of citrus zest and spices.
I know everyone has different body chemistry, but the longevity
of this scent in my personal testing is worth mentioning. I put
some on my wrist in the evening, and could still smell it on my
arm (not just on my shirt) when I woke up. That's some impressive
sticking power.
Serenity - This fragrance
is specifically blended to bring peace and relaxation to your
busy world. A full-bodied, warm floral bouquet with light fruity
top notes and a smooth background of sweet musk. So wearable you'll
wonder how you lived without it.
Simply
Divine Cherry Pie (Bath & Body Works type) - I
fell in love with this scent the very first time I smelled it.
This is a playful and fresh cherry scent with subtle hints of
pie crust. This wears like a dream. Not too sweet, just right!
Smoke
& Odor Eliminator - This
fragrance is amazing. I stayed away from scents with this name
for a long time because I thought they would smell industrial
or obnoxious. Boy, am I glad I decided to try this one. It's strong,
no doubt about that, and it covers odors incredibly well, but
it's so pleasant that I keep coming back to it again and again.
I know there are spices in here, but -- and this is the best part
-- it contains a lot of natural essential oils, including orange,
grapefruit and cinnamon.
Somali Rose - What
a surprising scent! Not heavily floral despite the name, this
masculine blend combines rose with chocolate, sandalwood, anise,
musk and a touch of green moss.
Starfruit
& Citrus - Once in
a while I get a scent that Todd likes immediately. This is one
of those scents. This blend of starfruit and juicy citrus is very
fresh and clean.
Stargazer
Lily - This duplication of the lovely pink and white oriental
hybrid flower is sweet and sensual. Lilies are a classic wedding
flower, known for their beauty and scent. Intensely floral, this
fragrance shouts, "SPRING!". We've been told this does
NOT smell exactly like the real flower, but our customers love
it nonetheless.
Strawberry
Passion - You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to find
a truly great strawberry scent. Most of the ones I tested smelled
funky, like bad chemicals, and not like strawberry at all. Even
more of them didn't pass my skin testing, because they mutated
or wore off way too quickly. But I really think I've got a winner
with this one! My perfumer says it has bottom notes of cotton
candy and french vanilla, but what I smell is a gorgeous, fresh
strawberry that's softened just a bit by a light sweetness. It's
not cloying or overly sweet by any means. I think it's just right,
and I'm thrilled to add it to my scent list.
Stress Relief - As we all
fill our days with more and more duties and projects, taking little
or no time to relax, our worries and stress levels become unbearable.
Get instant relief with this superbly balanced, calming blend
of Lavender and Sage, touched with a hint of Peppermint and Star
Anise. A lovely scent that quiets the mind and invigorates the
spirit.
Sugar
Berry Mousse - I'm mad
about this scent! Sweet & creamy, the top notes are wild berries,
brandied cherries and sweet figs. The heart is a subtly spicy
carnation and then it's all brought together with a base of vanilla
cotton candy.
Sugar Cookie - We tested
several sugar cookie fragrances before we found this mouthwatering
blend of vanilla, sugar and cookies. You'll be tempted to eat
it (but please don't)! If you like this, try our Birthday
Cake fragrance!
Summer
Pudding - This is an absolutely delicious fruity blend, with
just the right balance of sweet and tart. I couldn't make myself
wait until summer to add this scent to our collection.
From our perfumer: "Summer
Pudding has crustless soft slices of fresh, Sweet Bread layered
into a mold. A sweet/tart syrup is then made with sugar, lemon
and a blend of berries, tenderly poached to keep their shape.
Some of the syrup is reserved, and the fruit carefully spooned
into the bread-lined mold. Weighed down and refrigerated, the
mold chills and takes shape, until it's unmolded the next day
and has the reserved juice poured over it. It couldn't be prettier,
or more delicious!
Our fragrance opens with a lemon
zest accord, and additional top notes of Black Current and Cassis.
Middle notes of Blackberry, Guava and Plum add the heart of a
summer fruit medley, and the scent dries down to Vanilla, Musk
and Tonka Bean."
Summer Sunflowers - A sweet
& clean blend of violet, carnation and a hint of juicy berries.
More floral than fruity. Very bright & fresh, and perfect
for Linen
Sprays.
Sunwashed Linen - Clean,
fresh and inviting, Sunwashed Linen smells like freshly washed
linen dried outdoors on a warm sunny day, yet it's utterly wearable
& sophisticated. If you like this, try our Mystic
Breeze and Cotton
Blossom (type)
Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin (Bath
& Body Works type) - I'd give you the description from
our perfumer, but this time I think their words fall short of
the true nature of this blend. Despite its name, I wouldn't necessarily
say this fragrance smells much like pumpkin -- but the spicy sweetness
is absolutely phenomenal, lightly fruity, and quite unique.
Mmmm... Give it a try!
Sweet
Cream - Sweet, creamy, sexy & innocent -- you'll want
to slather this rich blend of sweet buttercream and raw cane sugar
all over yourself. No spices or cake notes in this one -- just
pure, smooth creaminess. It's like vanilla on steroids. Note:
This is sweeter than our version of Comptoir Sud Pacifique's Matin
Calin (Lait Sucre).
Sweet
Orange Chili Pepper - If
you like fresh & clean citrus scents, this is sure to be one
of your new favorites. It's a knockout blend of fresh-squeezed
orange juice with a little kick of chili pepper that adds a lightly
herbal quality to it. It's rounded out with some bergamot, tangerine
zest and a little bit of musk.
Sweet Orange Essential Oil (5-Fold)
- There's nothing quite like the 100% natural, tart aroma
of Sweet Orange Essential Oil for refreshing and stimulating your
skin and senses (named "sweet" to distinguish it from
the oil of the bitter orange tree). Sweet Orange Oil is made from
fresh orange peels and is slightly astringent, making it an excellent
choice for oily skin. It's important to note that "regular"
Sweet Orange Essential Oil contains turpenes, which will make
your skin sensitive to ultraviolet rays. We've chosen this specially
processed five-fold oil for our products because the turpenes
have been removed and it's safe for leave-on products like lotions
& creams.
Sweet Patchouli - Our Dark
Patchouli and Patchouli blends are wildly popular with our customers,
and we think this is sure to be a best seller! This is actually
similar to our Patchouli Sandalwood blend, but it's made without
the super-strong Patchouli Essential Oil. Very earthy & smooth.
Sweet Pea (Bath & Body Works
type) - I have to admit, I'm not usually a big fan of floral
fragrances. That said, this is quickly becoming one of my new
favorites -- it's that good! A light and refreshing floral with
hints of jasmine, violet and lily of the valley set on a velvet
musk background. Fresh, sweet but not overpowering... simply delightful.
Tahitian
Vanilla - A friend recently
told me "you can't have too many vanillas". As a serious
scent junkie who loves a good vanilla, I took her comment to heart.
Tahitian Vanilla is a fresh and sexy scent, with a splash of citrus
notes. Not overpowering in the least, just a good clean wear-it-every-day
vanilla.
The Very Thought of You - Provocative
and sensual, this is a very melodic blend of deep rich amber and
sweet vanilla, with a touch of magic. Haunting and alluring.
Trick
Or Treat - I know this
sounds like a seasonal scent, but I'll be wearing it all year,
especially in cooler weather. This is another scent that I just
adore. It's autumn in a bottle. From our perfumer: "...begins
with top notes of pumpkin, persimmon, and apple; followed by middle
notes of blueberries, elderberries, currants, orange and cinnamon;
and well rounded with base notes of sugar cane and vanilla."
Tropical Spice (Pier 1 type)
- LIMITED EDITION - Exotic yet definitely fruity, this new
scent has a yummy depth you'll not find in other fruit fragrances.
Think the best of orange, tangerine & mango fruits blended
with exotic clove & a touch of sandalwood for depth. Toss
in just a hint of rose & jasmine to add a bit of sweetness.
We have a very limited amount of this fragrance available, so
when it's gone, it's gone.
Truth (Calvin Klein type) -
Our interpretation of this Calvin Klein favorite is a refreshing,
oriental, woody fragrance. Timeless and feminine, it contains
a blend of fresh, natural rich woods that react to individual
skin chemistry.
Tuberose - An exotic &
sensual tropical floral - I LOVE this fragrance! From our perfumer:
"Tuberose isn't a member of the rose family at all -- it
has a heavy white tropical floral fragrance like jasmine or ylang-ylang.
Tuberose absolute, an ingredient in numerous high quality perfumes,
is incredibly expensive -- it actually costs more than its weight
in gold. This is a delicious blend of tuberose, gardenia, and
jasmine. It smells quite similar to the designer perfumes "Blonde"
and "Blue Jeans Couture" -- rich, feminine, and very
upscale."
Tuscan
Cypress - Bold, musky-earthy,
and very sensual. From our
perfumer: "Inspired by energizing smells of nature in Tuscan,
Italy, this distinctive fragrance is exotic and outdoorsy. It's
a scent that is clean and natural, just like a pile of freshly
chopped Cypress soaked by an early morning summer rain. The smell
of mixed evergreens is warmed by a sprinkle of spice to make a
rustic fragrance that will appeal to both men and women."
Twilight Musk - This warm
yet extremely fresh musk-based fragrance for men is calming and
soothing.
Unscented -
Most of our products are also available unscented; just select
"unscented" from the drop-down list of fragrances.
Vanilla
Amber - A ForYourNose original blend - You
know, I've tested numerous vanilla & amber blends from my
perfumers over the years, and just never found one I liked. Finally
it dawned on me: I needed to try blending one myself. The result
is even better than I imagined. I chose a sweet creamy vanilla,
which really takes the fragrance to a whole new level.
Vanilla
Bean Noel (Bath and Body Works type)
After sampling many, many versions
of this scent, I've finally found the best one. My testers have
confirmed that this is a faithful duplication of the much-loved
Vanilla Bean Noel fragrance from Bath & Body Works. According
to my perfumer, this is the original Vanilla Bean Noel body lotion
scent. It's a rich, smooth and unique interpretation of vanilla.
Vanilla Cream - This is SO popular!
You may be tempted to taste this rich vanilla blend, but please
don't! This is a heavenly scent of a cream-laden vanilla with
no harsh or too-sweet edges. Marvelous!
Vanilla
Flan - Silky vanilla
custard dripping with a creamy caramelized sugar sauce. This is
one of my favorite desserts, and one of my new favorite scents!
Vanilla
Lavender - NEW VERSION (as of 5/5/08) Mmm... Soft & dreamy!
This is a beautifully balanced blend of creamy vanilla and herbal
lavender. It's a lot like our old, beloved "Lavender Creme"
but this is even better.
Vanilla
Lilac - a ForYourNose original scent - This
is my own blend of fresh lilacs and sweet vanilla. Together they're
powdery and very feminine.
Vanilla
Lust (Jill Stuart type) - I have one of my favorite customers
to thank for leading me to this gorgeous scent. This blend features
Madagascar vanilla with a touch of coconut milk and caramel, and
is rounded out with exotic sandalwood. The result is a soft and
pretty vanilla fragrance with powdery undertones.
Vanilla Sandalwood - NEW VERSION
- It's back, and better than ever! We searched, sampled and
rejected many blends before we finally found this one. This new
fusion of Vanilla and Sandalwood is richer and less sweet that
our previous version. From our perfumer: "Sensuous, intoxicating,
tear-his-clothes-off sexy, this fragrance is the perfect blend
of down-to-earth woody sandalwood and musk sweetened with just
the right balance of vanilla."
Vanilla...Something
- Sometimes I test fragrances
that defy description, and this is one of them. My perfumer calls
it "Whipped Vanilla Cream", but it doesn't really smell
like whipped cream to me. It's definitely vanilla - sweet and
lightly creamy with a little something extra that I find impossible
to define. I just know it's one of those scents that I kept coming
back to time & again until I finally decided I simply had
to add it to my product line, despite the challenge to give it
an appropriate name. So here it is: Vanilla...Something.
Vanille
Abricot (Comptoir Sud Pacifique type) - Just wait till you
smell what all the hubub is about! This Comptoir Sud Pacifique
duplication is a stunning blend of sweet, creamy vanilla and fresh
apricot, with hints of tropical papaya. We LOVE this scent!
Vanille Coco (Comptoir Sud Pacifique
type) - My new favorite coconut scent! I've searched &
searched for a really sweet coconut scent, and I finally found
it! This Comptoir Sud Pacifique duplicate brings vanilla to the
party, making the coconut really sing. Absolutely gorgeous &
mouthwatering!
If you want a more subtle scent
that smells more like fresh coconut milk, try our regular Coconut
fragrance.
Velvet Fusion - This sensational
fragrance - which our perfumer calls a "spa scent" -
has cooling greens, zippy ginger and revitalizing melons. But
what you really smell is a kicky, fresh scent that's smooth, sweet
and virtually irresistible. Consider this: I asked Todd to smell
25+ assorted fragrances, and choose one for me to make a test
bottle of lotion. His selection was without question or hesitation
- he chose Velvet Fusion. 'Nuf said?
Vermont
Apple Pie - You'd be surprised at how difficult it is to find
a GOOD apple pie scent, that doesn't just smell like apples &
cinnamon or apple cider. I'm on a quest for an apple pie that
smells like the real thing, pie filling, crust and all. While
this isn't exactly what I had in mind, the more I smelled it,
the more I knew I had to have it. This captures the apple pie
filling scent extremely well, with hints of spices and very appealing
baked apple notes.
Very Sexy For Men (Victoria's
Secret type) - A spicy citrus uni-gender blend of light Bergamot
& Jasmine, combined with exotic notes of Cedar Wood, Sandalwood
& warm Musk. It has top notes of tangerine, pink lime and
bergamot leaves. The heart mixes Limewood, Cinnamon Bark and Sage.
Vetiver and Orange Flower comprise the dry-down. This fragrance
is often listed as a men's scent, but many women claim it as their
own! It's as sexy and unexpected as the person who wears it.
Victoria (Victoria's Secret
type) - By very special request, we're pleased to add this
bright new scent to the FORYOURNOSE lineup. This is a fresh, clean
& romantic floral blend - soft and alluring!
Wakaya
(Crabtree & Evelyn type) - I fell in love with this tropical
floral scent the very first time I did a skin test. It wears so
beautifully! If you like bold florals like Tuberose, Tiare and
Jasmine, you'll definitely want to try this one. From
our perfumer: "Sweet
Cara Cara Pink Navel Orange accents a bouquet of Tuberose, Tahitian
Tiare flower, Night Blooming Jasmine, Plumeria Blossom, Rich Leafy
Green Notes, Fresh Coconut Oil with a dry-down of Dry Driftwood
& Teak."
Warm Vanilla Sugar (Bath &
Body Works type) - African vanilla beans sweetened by a touch
of sandalwood and coconut on a subtle background of white flowers.
We're told this luscious fragrance is similar to the fragrance
by the same name from Bath & Body Works (though we've been
told our version is actually better!)
Water Blossom Ivy (Bath &
Body Works type) - Once again, our perfumer has surprised
and thrilled us with this fragrance. A light jasmine with nuances
of rose, white flowers and lily of the valley on a mild, sweet
and musky background. It practically shouts "CLEAN!"
We can't seem to get enough of it!s
Watermelon
Herb Granita - This fresh
& clean scent is one of my new favorites. It wears like a
dream - crisp and refreshing with just the right balance of sweet,
ripe watermelon and green herbs.
From our perfumer: "Think
of a sultry evening in the heart of the summer in southern Italy.
It's too hot to sleep... after a stroll, a refreshing taste of
shaved ice topped with watermelon and crushed Tuscany herbs just
cuts right through the heat and humidity of the evening. Ahhh!
The scent opens with icy cold top
notes of Rosemary, Petitgrain and Fresh Watermelon, moves into
a fruity-floral bouquet of Cyclamen, Pettitgrain, Pineapple, Plum,
Jasmine and Rose, and closes with Muguet, Musk and Antique Woods.
This is a very different scent, and a grown-up interpretation
of Watermelon!"
Watermoss - We've done it
again! We've taken two phenomenal fragrances and turned them into
a masterpiece that stands on its own! This original FORYOURNOSE
fragrance combines the unique, gentle earthiness of Sapmoss
(type) and our incredibly popular Cool
Citrus Basil (type). The result? A fragrance that's sophisticated
and clean -- and one that Todd really likes. If you like this,
try our Rivermoss
-- another FORYOURNOSE original blend.
White Ginger & Amber (Bath
& Body Works type) - Sophisticated but yet subtle this
scent starts out with a musk and sandalwood bouquet that is enhanced
with a light scent of wild jasmine. This makes an excellent perfume.
It's sure to become one of your new favorites! (It's already one
of mine)
White Musk - If you like
a good musk scent as much as I do, you're going to flip over this
one. Our perfumer calls this "clean, clean, clean and sexy
as all get-out", and I couldn't agree more. Here's what else
they have to say:
From our perfumer: "Mere words
cannot do justice to this blend, but here's a weak attempt to
communicate its greatness: Green aldehydic top notes give way
to a playful, flirtatious floral middle of rose, jasmine, muguet,
and ylang, which quickly yields to the most intoxicating, heady,
sexy, clean finish of vanilla, amber, moss, and clouds of white
musk."
White
Spice - Exotic spices
blended with orange, cinnamon and sandalwood. Fans of our Orange
Clove scent will love this.
White Tea - A delightfully
refreshing blend that combines the subtle scent of white tea and
fresh notes - clean, light and delicious! Men and women all seem
to love this scent. This is not a duplicate of the White
Tea fragrance made by Origins.
Wild Huckleberry - A
fresh berry scent with some kick! Tangy berries balanced on a
lightly sweet background. This is a nice, strong scent without
being overpowering.
Winter
Wonderland - This well-balanced blend is great for the holidays
and it's so unique I think you'll want to continue to enjoy it
all winter long. Winter Wonderland consists of top notes of apples
and pears; followed by middle notes of eucalyptus, pine, and geranium;
and balanced with base notes of vanilla, cedarwood, and patchouli.
Very pleasing and homey, without being too heavy on fruity, spicy
or pine notes like some other winter blends.
Ylang Mimosa
- Fresh & unforgettable, this blend of ylang ylang and
mimosa blossoms reminds me of the fragrance 'Ananya' from The
Body Shop. Very sophisticated & complex -- and extremely wearable.
I keep coming back again & again to sniff this one. From our
perfumer: "an exotic floral with warm notes of jasmine, rosewood,
musk, and cedarwood."
Yuzu (Japanese Grapefruit) -
Yuzu, or Japanese Grapefruit, is truly the quintessential
summer scent. Going beyond plain grapefruit, Yuzu is strong &
bright with a truly remarkable depth. This is another scent that
Todd & I both like.
From our perfumer: "Unlike
regular grapefruit, Yuzu is a hybrid of grapefruit and mandarin,
so it's got additional perfume notes. But not just mandarin or
tangerine, but it's got a grapefruit blossom top note that's positively
haunting."
