Isn't great when you can indulge in a gorgeous scent while adding a finishing touch to your wardrobe?  I'm talking about the line of scented jewelry from Lisa Hoffman Beauty.  The piece sent to me for this review was a beautiful necklace that I immediately fell in love with.

The design of this 22-inch rose gold-plated necklace was simple, but elegant.  Suspended from the intricately carved filigreed charm rests a fragrance bead to magnificently set the piece off as it gracefully releases it captivating scent.  

Mine happened to be glorious Tuscan Fig with a sweet floral gourmand influence from honeysuckle, fig, vanilla bean, and coconut wood.  Read my earlier review to appreciate how truly enticing this fragrance it.

The fragrance bead is eco-friendly and made  in such a fashion to disperse and maintain the maximum amount of its scent.  Thus, you can layer, build on your fragrance, or wear it alone in jewelry form.

My necklace came with a separate small jar of fragrance beads as well.  Each bead is advertised to last a week or to change it as needed.  I had mine now for nearly two weeks and the scent never faded in the least yet. 

However, when it does start to lose its magic and the bead needs changing, the task is easy.  You open the bale and slide the charm off.  Near the top closure, you pry it open with your fingers or the little card it comes with to get access, then simply put in a new bead.  Snap the bale, reattach, and you're back in beautiful operation.

Expect to pay $65 for the necklace.  It does come with a small jar of fragrance balls, which can keep you smelling incredible for quite some time.  You do get quite a lot of beads in there but when you run out you can pick up another jar of refill beads for $20 in that scent or another for a change.

If you prefer the scent of Madagascar Orchid, you need to order the brushed gold-plated necklace.  Japanese Agarwood is the antique bronze-plated one, Tunisian Neroli is gold-plated,  whereas French Clary Sage is the oxidized silver toned necklace.  Having reviewed each of these scents, I honestly think it is hard to narrow a choice because they all are so heavenly, but in different ways.

I am so thrilled with my Tuscan Fig necklace because it is an ideal strength and another exciting way to wear my fragrance! I would love to try the larger opened cuff bracelet and see how that one worked.  Trust me, I would use a lot of hand motions to circulate my fragrance companion as I worked a room.  

Do invest in one from Lisa Hoffman Beauty or hint around when gift giving time arrives because it is fabulous!

Lisa Hoffman Beauty's line of fragrances is like taking a soulful journey to paradise.  Each of her perfumes that I have reviewed has sent me blissfully along different scented paths to lose myself in.  And I must admit, every time that I think the current scent of hers used last was my favorite, then I discover another one like Tuscan Fig Eau de Parfum Spray and the Variations Tuscan Fig Fine Fragrance Oils.

I would consider Tuscan Fig  the perfect fragrance when you're craving sweets.  However, this is far from any syrupy sweet gourmand.  Instead, this is an elegant blend of sophistication with a delicate sweetness from fig, coconut wood and vanilla beans, tamed by Italian bergamot.  

Flirty and feminine, floral notes of honeysuckle, French jasmine, freesia, and gardenia want to dance and  tease your senses from that infusion of freshness.   

The romantic base is polished and  yet, warmly tantalizing with amber, patchouli, woods, and musk to show its undeniable sultry side.

Although Tuscan Fig happens to be sweeter than Tunisian Neroli, French Clary Sage, and the Japanese Agarwood fragrances that I had worked with, I think both the gourmands as well as those favoring floral scents  would adore this.  The reason for my assumption is this fragrance is an ideally matched marriage of both.

The Variations Tuscan Fig Fine Fragrance Oils are another exquisite way to indulge in scented luxury.  This set of four roll-on perfumes to be worn during different parts of the day or to layer to produce your own delicious variations.

Vial 01:  Morning:  This is a brisk, wake-up from Italian bergamot, fig, honeysuckle, and freesia to help charge your senses and start the day.

Vial 02: Daytime:  Romantic and yet comfortable, you immediately are drawn to the warmth from honeysuckle and gardenia merging with vanilla beans and coconut wood.

Vial 03:  Evening:   Consider this variation the one that is irresistibly sensual with the hold it exerts from gardenia, patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla.

Vial 04:  Bedtime:  Drift off to sleep with this vial of the sheerest notes of Tuscan Fig and musk for a beautiful end to your night.

Lisa Hoffman Beauty retails the Tuscan Fig Eau de Parfum Spray (2 fl. oz.) for $65.  The  Variations Fine Fragrance Oils Set sells for $95.  Do discover this fragrance treasure for yourself because I will not part with mine!
