Bathed and Infused Valentine's Day Fragrances

My goodness ladies! I have been relooking over some of my Valentine's Day posts and boy do I sound crabby in some of them! I wanted to write all about the fun beauty products that are always released at this time of the year but somehow I just ended up grumbling about the holiday itself. To all you ladies who are waiting excitedly for the 14th, have a great time getting gifts for the guy and getting yourself all ready for a special night. My goal is get through these next few posts about Valentine's and focus on what I love about this holiday. Sweet scented body products, tons of candy, and seeing roses all over the place. Now onto the beauty.

This time, we are going to look at Bathed and Infused, the first etailer that I had ever ordered from and one of my overall favorites. This company always has fast service, an extensive scent list, and the packaging is the same every single time that I order from them. This company didn't offer any new fragrances at Christmas so (inspite of myself), I was very excited to see something new from this group. Actually, my first ever etailer purchase was Valentine's Day fragrances from this company so I have to love them. On first glance, the scent list of the limited edition fragrances is much longer than it has been in previous years so there will be at least one scent for everyone.

Let's jump right in...

Black Cat - This best-seller from Halloween is back by popular demand! A devious blend of black licorice and pumpkin, both of which are scents that reportedly drive men wild. Just wait until you cross his path - meow!

Blue Moon - Blue Moon, I saw you standing alone...Don't be blue on Valentine's Day! Lemon, blueberries, and marshmellow combine in such a dreamy way that you'll know you're not alone.

Blush - Just like that pinkish glow that creeps into your face when that certain someone is near, this fruity floral blend with a soft breath of vanilla and a hint of musk with recreate that indescrible feeling.

Box of Chocolates - You know the saying , "Like is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get."? We say it doesn't matter if you treat yourself to a little bite of each one! This chocolate confection is based on just that philosophy. A little bit of raspberry filling, a little bit of caramel, a touch of almond, and a whole lot of chocolate. Take a little bite of each; we won't tell.

Bridezilla - Ah! We love your incessant chatter about dusty rose and mauve! Cash bar at the reception? Great idea! Definitely monitor your bridesmaids' calorie intake. Soft and innocent, this vanilla and stephanotis fragrance veils the nuptial nightmare that lurks below the surface.

Croissant - As you stroll down the Rue de Rivoli and catch a whiff of something delicious in the air, you're drawn to a small bakery where the fresh croissants are piled neatly in the glass display. "Un croissant, s'il vous plait." Ah, the buttery goodness just melts in your mouth.

Ever After - You'll happily daydream about this floral combinaton of rose, violets, and bergamot kissed with musk and vanilla. Prince Charming? Who needs him?

Femme Fatale - Sexy sandalwood and vanilla combine with a touch of chocolate that puts the red in lipstick and the high in heels.

First Kiss - Exhilarating as a first kiss, this deceptively simple blend of coconut, cherry, and almond will make you fall in love all over again.

Heart's Desire - Longing gently wraps its arms around you and your soul stirs. The feeling inside you swells like the tide and the love in your heart glows bright crimson. Coconut milk, blood orange, and sweet cake will have you falling in love.

Lady Chocolat - Sophisticated. Demure. Irresistable. Lady Chocolat is all about class. A decadent blend of fine chocolates.

Love Notion - The sexy allure of musk and pumpkin tempered with vanilla. This secret recipe is sure to tempt them closer.

Marshmellow Cloud - Butter cookies kissed by Tonka Bean float away on this fluffy, whipped marshmellow cloud. A sweet treat for your sweet tooth.

Paradise - Get lost in a lush, tropical jungle with the one you love and feast on mangos, papayas, and pineapples swirled with cotton candy for a sweetness that only the two of you share.

Pucker Up - Pucker up, buttercup! This tart citrus blend is a sure to be a true for your kisser. Polynesian grapefruit and a touch of sweet citrus are blended into this fresh, fabulous blend.

Pure Indulgence - Ahhhh, who doesn't love to be pampered every once in a while? Give your senses a treat with this complex fragrance that begins with a hint of brown sugar, delicate pink freesia petals, Madagascar vanilla bean, pure jasmine absolute, and ends with a slight touch of nag champa.

Ruby Slippers - The alluring ruby glow will tempt you too with this delicious champagne cocktail spiked with pomegranate juice, fresh blueberries, and a kiss of coconut.

Sensous Sandalwood - The rich, alluring scent of this sandalwood fragrance is incredibly sexy, and works incredibly well as a scent for men or women. Great for when you want a lush, woody, sophisticated aroma.

She's No Tart - Hey! Just because she's sexy and confident, doesn't mean you can judge her. She may not be a tart, but the fragrance she wears has bite. A floral with a twist: Lilac and Orchid touched with mint and lime.

Starry Eyes - What do you see when you look deep into your lover's eyes? Why, the heavens of course! Shooting stars and comets bubble across the sky as heliotrope, musk, and amber, and a touch of tonka bean waft through the air.

Violet Chiffon Cake - This light-as-air chiffon cake is dipped in sweet lightly scented with fragrant violets. Romantic and totally decadent!

Vixen - You know you're sexy and you need a scent that is as seductive and alluring as you are! This sensual blend brings together black currants, orange, delicately soft amber, vanilla, water lily, and hints of black pepper, and coriander.

What I love this most about this huge collection is that there are scents for every mood of Valentine's Day...love, kinda grumpy, and going out. Of this collection, Paradise is the only one that I have owned before, I bought it in the wash and the lotion about two years ago and it still remains one of my favorite scents from this company. The blend of the tropical fruits and the cotton candy is perfect. I highly recommend several items from this company, the body lotion and fluff, the body wash, and especially the whipped sugar scrub. I have not tried the EDTs from Bathed and Infused but they are much raved about on Makeup Alley's boards so I feel safe recommending them too.

Based on the success that I have had with the scents so far from this company, I would also like to get - Blue Moon, Box of Chocolates, Croissant, Ever After, Femme Fatale, First Kiss. Lady Chocolat, Marshmellow Cloud, She's No Tart, and Violet Chiffon Cake. Another great thing about this company that I forgot to mentio above? The turn-around-time is super quick, usually within a week so this company is also a great option for gift giving without having to think a month in advance.
