Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Vanilla Verbena

Everywhere that you turn around in Bath and Body Works, you will see something new. We have already talked about the Island Escape body product collection and now we are going to look at the latest Aromatherapy fragrance in the Stress Relief line, Vanilla Verbena. This fragrance was introduced last fall to certain stores and the website but now it is available in all the stores and I have been able to try it out. So far, I have been able to try out the body lotion (I received a small lotion from the company) and the body mist (in the store). I was a bit surprised that this fragrance was being released now around Valentine's Day instead of a Sensual fragrance like last year. But I guess the company needs to change things up every few years... "Warm Vanilla and crisp Verbena soothe your body and mind".

The products that are offered in this new fragrance...

Body Wash & Foam Bath - Relax and unwind. Vanilla Absolute has a soothing effect on body and mind. This fast-foaming body wash is infused with soothing skin conditioners, while an aromatherpay blend of essential oils and absolutes soothes your body and mind. For a relaxing bubble bath, add a couple of ounces to warm, running water. This special formula contains precious botanicals. White birch and bamboo extracts are known to purify and soothe skin while pearl powder helps condition skin.

Body Mist - Relax and unwind. Vanilla Absolute has a soothing effect on body and mind. This refreshing bosy mist is infused with an aromatherapy blend of essential oils that soothes your mind and body so you can relax. Spritz all over body anytime you need to soothe and calm.

Massage Oil - Relax and unwind. Vanilla Absolute has a soothing effect on body and mind. Massage this stress relieving oil into freshly cleansed skin at the end of a busy day, or, add to warm running bathwater for the ultimate relaxing bath. This formula contains Sunflower Oil, rich in the anti-oxidant Vitamin E, to moisturize skin and keep it young-looking.

Body Lotion - Relax and unwind. Vanilla Absolute has a soothing effect on body and mind. This ultra-creamy, nourishing body lotion is formulated to give skin long-lasting moisture, while an aromatherapy blend of essential oils and absolutes soothes your body and mind. This special formula contains precious botanicals and minerals. White Water Lily and Malachite are known to help soothe skin so it looks and feels its best.

Sugar Scrub - Relax and unwind. Vanilla Absolute has a soothing effect on body and mind. Use during a shower or bath morning or evening to soothe skin, while an aromatherapy blend of essential oils and absolutes soothes your body and mind so you can relax. Scoop out a handful of this skin softening sugar scrub and massage gently over skin. This formula contains exfoliating sugar and a special moisturizing blend of Sunflower, Safflower, and Sweet Almond and Jojoba oils to leave skin silky smooth.

This is scent that I have found out smells much better when I apply it then when it is just smelled in the bottle. I don't love this fragrance but I don't dislike it, it is one of those that I wouldn't have tried had I not gotten a small bottle from the company. When applied, the lotion just smells like plain vanilla with my skin chemistry. While this may not be a fragrance for me, I still love the Aromatherapy line overall (especially the body wash, body lotion, and sugar scrub) and highly recommend the Lavender Vanilla and Eucalytpus Spearmint fragrances.
