Fresh has just released a collection of fragrances based on the recent movie release of Eat, Pray, Love. I haven't seen the movie nor do I plan to since I am not a Julia Roberts fan. Also, I tend to hate movies that were originally books (except Harry Potter) because the images that I conjure up in my head don't alwasy match the actors cast in the movie and then the whole experience is ruined for me. While I am not looking forward to the movie, I do plan to read the book at some point and buy the new fragrance collection from Fresh that is inspired by the movie (though I prefer to think that it was inspired by the book).This collection consists of three fragrances that the perfumier thought that Elizabeth Gilbert (main character) would wear through her experiences and travels in this movie. The fragrances are named: Eat, Pray, and Love.
Eat is the fragrance that was inspired by Gilbert's travels through Italy and is described on teh Fresh website as "sweet and effervescent". "This sweet, effervescent scent indulges in Italy's most addictive desserts and sensual wines. Notes of bright Italian lemon and basil are balanced with creamy textures reminiscent of cannoli and tiramisu topped off with sparkling Prosecco and Limoncello for the ultimate gourmand experience". The top notes are: Italian lemon, basil, bergamot. The middle notes are: plum, red currant, rose. The base notes are: caramel, meringue, vanilla.
Pray is the fragrance that was inspired by Gilbert's travels through India is more of a woodsy fragrance with spice undertones. "Inspired by India's serene sunsets, fresh soil, and traces of incense and spices that permeate warm winds, this scent has great impact and ultimately puts you at peace with a comforting blend of jasmine, pink pepper, patchouli, amber, juniper berry, cardamom, and incense." The top notes are: elemi, pink pepper, juniper berry. The middle notes are: incense, peony, rose. The base notes are: patchouli, amber, musk.
Love is the fragrance that was inspired by Gilbert's travels to Bali and is a sunny fragrance with tropical undertones. "This fragrance bottles the bright, colorful, anything-is-possible feelings of falling in love. Scents of passion, like percolating pheromones, sun-caressed skin, and salty kisses are combined with the lush aromas of Bali's exotic landscape". The top notes are: bergamot, red currant, mango blossom. The middle notes are: lisylang, Tiare, dewy jasmine. The base notes are: sandalwood, vetyver, velvet amber.
The three fragrances are sold separately but Fresh does offer a candle set that contains all the fragrances inside it. The descriptions of these fragrances now have me very interested in reading the book and I mght consider getting the movie when it comes out on DVD just to compare how accurate the fragrances are to the scenes that they inspired. I actually would love to own all three fragrance. Pray would be a great cold weather scent with all the florals and spices in it but I think that the other two would be better for spring and summer. I love that two fragrances contain rose and I also love the scent of the Tiare flower.
