The Twilight series from Stephanie Meyers has somewhat become one of my chief guilty pleasures even though it is taking the teenybopper nation by storm. I had the first book recommended to me by a coworker and got hooked on the series so fast that I had the first three books finished by the end of the week and was eagerly awaiting the fourth book.
Of course this trend really picks up for the upcoming Valentines Day. Anyone with a money making endeavor is smart enough to slap something about Twilight on their Valentines Day products/scents. In the case of Hot Topic, this is scary. However in the case of a reputable company with fantastic products and service, this becomes a huge deal.
The company that I am referring to is Bathed and Infused, an independent etailer based out of Colorado. Bathed and Infused is the first company that I ever ordered from and the one that really got into etailer over retailer products. This company offer over 500 scents at any given time and releases Limited Edition scents for every single holiday. They are also fantastic to their customers with top-notch customer service and with running contests to create new scents. They offer all types of body and bath products and I have never been disappointed with anything that I have received. The packaging is the best among the various etailers that I have ordered from and is professional enough to appear on a store shelf.
This Twilight inspired collection is called Love Triangle (to represent that in the books, two boys are in love with Bella and she has a very hard time choosing between them). The description of Love Triangle is right here, “ Three’s a crowd. Especially if one is a vampire and another is a werewolf. Inspired by the hit book Twilight, these scents will keep you up from dusk to dawn. (by erbrooks from the B&I Forum).”
The female scent in this series is obviously called Bella. The description, “Simple. Innocent. Her captivating notes of lilac, lavender, and Pink Sugar lure even the most dangerous of creatures.” In the first book, Edward describes here scent as a mixture of flowers and that is what attracted to her in the first place. The Pink Sugar was added to make the scent more wearable for the average person and creamier than just straight floral notes. I’m not all that happy about the Pink Sugar being added only from the point of view that it is not as true to the book. She smelled like flowers and that is what attracted him, not the scent of Pink Sugar. Ok, I will get off my soapbox now…
There are two male scents, one called Edward and one called Jacob. This is Edward, “Sensual and old-fashioned, mysterious Edward's translucent glow shows with a base of amber kissed with a touch of honey, woods and sapmoss. Catch one whiff and he’ll suck you in.” This scent is old fashioned because his is the vampire. Jacob is the werewolf and his scent is much more on the woody side, “Dark and handsome, Jacob’s wild nature comes out with musk, sweet grass and a hint smoke.” Jacob sounds more a like a guy scent and I can see Edward’s scent as one that would appeal to more sophisticated man. If you want to take the plunge and order any of these scents, I would recommend purchasing the Tea-Infused Body Wash, the Body Scrub, and the Body Fluff or the Body Lotion.
Twilight…Bella…Edward…Jacob…Big sales of these scents for Valentines Day…
