New fragrances: A Touch of Autumn and more

One of my favorite things to get in is new fragrances. Don't get me wrong, all of our fragrances are great (I'm very picky about what we carry) but there's something about having new scents to work with that's super fun.  Must be gotta-have-the-new-toy syndrome or something.  Here's some great new scents we've had show up this week:

Apple Pecan Sage - This is a great fall fragrance that is perfect for year round too.  It has the crisp scent of fresh picked apples with aromatic sage and a slightly nutty undertone.

Cafe Mocha - By popular demand, we've brought in this coffee scent with the smell of fresh coffee and warm chocolate, just like your morning mocha. 

Cool Citrus and Basil - This fragrance is similar to the Bath & Body Works fragrance of the same name, and features bright top notes of citrus and green basil with a woody musk base.

Ginger Souffle - A fragrance similar to Origins Ginger fragrance, this scent features the sharp scent of fresh ginger mellowed out with citrus and floral notes.

Lavender Mint - Just like the name suggests, this is the perfect combination between lavender and mint, without the lavender smelling chemical-y and the mint not to strong and green.

Passionflower and Acai Berry - This sounds like it would be overly tropical, but this is actually a beautiful combination of passionflower, jasmine, orange blossom, amber, and acai berries.  A perfectly feminine scent. 

All of these fragrances are now added to the Fragrance and Essential Oils page, and are ready to order right away. 

We've also got more fragrances set to arrive by the end of the week, so keep checking back to see what else is new.
