*Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

This citrus-floral is not too brisk a fragrance that will can brighten your spirit.

If you want to keep the warm feeling of summer with you, then an easy way to do it is with clean, citrus-floral with just a hint of sweetness like Korres White Tea Bergamot Eau de Parfum. This 82% natural perfume is an ideal solution to happily energize the spirit with its freshness.

The opening is sparkling fresh with juicy bergamot, mandarin, neroli, and cyclamen notes to grab attention.  It is lively and charged with excitement.

As this scent warms in the heart, the floral notes of freesia, jasmine and violet along with tea accord finally announce their presence to subdue the dominant initial freshness. The effect is still fresh with just enough sweetness to make you feel good.  Think of it at this stage like a passing summer breeze carrying the scent of flowers in the air.   

As this fragrance dries down in the base, its notes of white musk, cedarwood and moss give it a soft sort of natural sexiness that is very appealing.

Korres White Tea Bergamot Eau de Parfum is a delight to the senses and quite different from what you may expect from when that citrus, floral, tea, musk and wood notes combine.  It is light fresh, but with a sweet uniqueness that keeps me so drawn to its magic. 

You can find White Tea Bergamot ($44.50) at Korres along with their other fine, natural fragrances.

Bellflower Tangerine Pink Pepper is a soft-yet-sexy fruity-floral blend that can warm a heart!

Those shopping for a new fragrance for themselves or holiday gift giving and need some inspiration, I have found just the one to solve your dilemma since I just discovered Bellflower Tangerine Pink Pepper Eau de Toilette by Greek Apothecary brand, Korres.  This fruity-floral scent that launched in 2015  is bubbling with a happy brightness and catchy energy that gives it a dazzling, joyous quality that is the perfect mood booster with just enough interesting spunk and sex appeal from wood and musky notes.

Review: Korres Limited-Edition 20 L’Eau de Parfum Rose and Oak Scent to Celebrate the Brand’s 20 Years!

*Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Beauty abounds in this unique Korres Limited-Edition 20 L'Eau de Parfum!

Just in time for holiday gift buying, Korres, the Greek Apothecary, released their Limited-Edition 20 L’Eau de Parfum.  This oriental-floral fragrance has warm spicy and fresh notes that give it a soft, yet irresistible sexiness for an unexpected take on rose and woods.

20 L’Eau de Parfum opens with a tart brightness from bergamot, green notes, green mandarin and apple. Though attention getting in its snappy freshness, the sweetness of the licorice top note dials down the crisper green in a pleasant way. 

As the fragrance warms in the heart with woods, rose, whisky and cedar, it develops a velvety richness and sophistication to that subtle sweetness from the spiked mix of rose and woods.  The result is flowery but at the same time, earthy and masculine with this combination of woods, whisky to the floral. Personally, I would describe this Limited-Edition 20 L’Eau de Parfum, a scent either sex could wear over restricting it solely to feminine or masculine.

By the time it dries down in the base, the more alluring it becomes as heart notes are tempered with the oak and amber base notes, enveloping this sensual fragrance with an inviting creaminess that you want to cozy up to.  

Do check out Korres Limited-Edition 20 L’Eau de Parfum ($52) for yourself or when you’re making out your holiday gift list because it is a wonderful, unique rose fragrance that I now adore.  

Review: Lavanila’s Vanilla Passion Fruit Healthy Fragrance Burns With Passion!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Lavanila’s Vanilla Passion Fruit Healthy Fragrance

How Lavanila manages to turn out one beautiful vanilla based natural fragrance after the next that is as unique and precious as a snowflake is quite the achievement, if you ask me.   With Vanilla Passion Fruit, I was once again in awe of their talent with this cozy, fruity gourmand fragrance that you don't seem to ever get enough of.

With top notes of vanilla and passion fruit, this fragrance opens with a delectable amount of sweetness  that catches your attention.  

Before long, this fragrance becomes juicier as it warms in the heart with notes of guava and peach nectar. Those fruits manage to squeeze those elements of gourmand sweetness so that it is not overly sweet but fresher, shaking up this tropical mix enough that the lurking blue lotus flower blooms, releasing a spicy floral sweetness that is almost narcotic in how it drugs you. 

As this fragrance begins to dry down, it takes on more an aromatic, herbal quality with clary sage and, juniper berries to that intoxicating fruity fragrance.  You can’t resist that mysterious, practically forbidden allure that you want to lose yourself in especially once those base notes of warm sandalwood and Madagascar vanilla emerge, leaving you longing desperately to be closer to its haunting warmth.

Just as enticing as this exquisite scent is the fact there are no likely ingredients that cause health concerns in any of their products.  You'll never find any parabens, petrochemicals, phthalates, silicones, propylene glycol, mineral oils, synthetic dyes, sulfates or aluminum in Lavanila products, which gives me piece of mind.  

If you want something subtle, but burning with an underlying passion and heat, then  I urge you to try Lavanila's Vanilla Passion Fruit Healthy Fragrance ($58) because it can be just what you need to walk on the wild side of paradise.

Lavanila's Vanilla Blackberry Healthy Fragrance

If you are looking for a new vanilla fragrance this holiday season that has sultry depth and yet a luscious fruity appeal that results in fresh sensuality, then let me introduce you to Lavanila’s Vanilla Blackberry Healthy Fragrance.  Take it from this perfumista, this is a sophisticated vanilla that deserves your attention for both its sensational appeal and regard to health.

The opening of this fragrance is juicy sweet and fresh from the top note of blackberry until it almost becomes a tart sort of sweet as the raspberry note emerges.  

As the fragrance warms in the heart, it becomes beautifully sultry and softly provocative due to the velvet iris, which also give it such elegance.  

Once this scent dries down, the Madagascar vanilla in the base contributes a luxe, cashmere-like smoothness that you will long to wrap yourself around it with just a bit more sweetness. 

As with all of Lavanila’s fragrances, you can feel good knowing their fragrances never pose any possible health risks due to petrochemicals, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oils, silicone, synthetic dyes, sulfates, and parabens.  Only essential oils and nurturing botanicals go into their formulas, which is something else that I love about this company.

Do visit Lavanila and check the Vanilla Blackberry Healthy Fragrance line because it is one of their best.  Any lady on your holiday shopping list would love a bottle!

Soap & Paper Factory’s NEW Coral Eau de Parfum Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Soap & Paper Factory's Coral Eau de Parfum

Now that the temperatures are dropping is the perfect time to switch from your light summer fragrances to warmer and more robust ones. One worth taking a look at is the new Coral Eau de Parfum Spray from Soap & Paper Factory that I got to try.

This is a spicy floral with an exotic appeal that is so beautifully alluring in how easily it captivates due to its haunting warmth. 

This natural fragrance does open with herbal briskness due to notes of basil and ginger that soon soften against the less dominant tropical floral note of sweet taire blossom.  The result is a more subtle variety of spicy floral scent due to its herbal influence that is quite intriguing.

Coral Eau de Parfum ($46)  is available at environmentally-friendly Soap & Paper Factory that uses healthier ingredients.   It makes me feel good knowing that their company never puts petroleum, parabens, or phthalates in any of the products they craft while opting for the best oils and organics when possible, which is also another reason I like it.  Check this fragrance out because I think you also would really like it!

Review: Lavanila's Vanilla Grapefruit Eau de Parfum and Body Butter--What a Sexy Twist to Sweet Deliciousness

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Lavanila's Vanilla Grapefruit Eau de Parfum

With a sparkling start, Lavanila's Vanilla Grapefruit is a natural citrus gourmand fragrance that is as delightfully uplifting as it is warmly seductive with its sweet delicious combo of notes.  

Due to the exhilarating rush of grapefruit, bergamot and lime notes as the scent opens, the sweetness of the Madagascar vanilla is pleasantly downplayed and delicate.  What is left behind is a beautiful balance of light sweetness to crispness.  

The floral heart is effortlessly romantic once the notes of patchouli and heliotrope emerge.  It is that gentle movement between the two that enables the fragrance to flirt, but possess its comfortable warm quality.

And yet there is unexpected sultriness as this scent dries down in the base from its creamy cedarwood that is so inviting.  Call it a sexier twist to that innocent warmth that lingers is what polishes Lavanila's Vanilla Grapefruit with sunny sensuality.  

Just as luscious as the Vanilla Grapefruit Eau de Parfum Spray I received is the matching Healthy Body Butter for layering.  This butter will prolong this long lasting fragrance even longer while hydrating skin with its luxurious natural formula of 100% pure shea and cocoa butter, essential oils as well as antioxidants.  This was such an indulgent treat for my dry skin.

If you are torn between a typical vanilla, gourmand or a different sort of fresh fragrance, then Lavanila's Vanilla Grapefruit is a scent you should explore because it does all those things.  

Lavanila's Vanilla Grapefruit Body Butter

I really do love Lavanila's Vanilla Grapefruit.  The 1.7 Vanilla Grapefruit Eau de Parfum retails for $58 while the 6.7 fl. oz. Healthy Body Butter goes for $19.   However, this same size pair is also available together on Lavanila for just $60--a savings of $17!  Do experience its wonders.

Obsessing Over This Cozy Winter Scent--Pure Vanilla Healthy Fragrance From Lavanila Laboratories (Review)

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Lavanila Pure Vanilla Healthy Fragrance

Be warned.  Once you experience Pure Vanilla Healthy Fragrance from Lavanila Laboratories, you might become addicted to its sweet and luscious aroma.  How this perfumista could have overlooked this delicious Oriental Gourmand when it launched in 2007 is beyond me.  Yet, I have found it now just in time for winter because this fragrance offers comforting vanilla warmth when you need it the most.

Unlike typical vanilla scents, this one is a formulation of deep vanilla that is complex instead of syrupy-sweet.  Due to the freesia and the heliotrope to its Madagascar vanilla and tonka bean, this fragrance turns powdery sweet as it develops, wrapping around you like a soft, cuddly blanket.  Wearing it is a pampering experience.  At the same time, it is a sensual one as well as that subtle blending works its seductive magic against the heat of your body.  You won't be able to let go of its hold on you--and neither will he. 

Pure Vanilla is a beautiful natural scent to brighten up a cold winter day that uses the best essential oils and botanicals.  Furthermore, there are no risky chemicals such as parabens, petrochemicals, phthalates, silicones, propylene glycol, mineral oils, synthetic dyes, sulfates, or aluminum that may pose a health risk.  

This fragrance is very long lasting.  One tiny spray was all that was necessary to keep me smelling irresistible for hours. 

If vanilla fragrances are your passion or, perhaps, you're searching for a surprisingly soft winter scent, then I recommend picking up Pure Vanilla Healthy Fragrance from Lavanila Laboratories.  Trust me, and you will be glad that you did!  The 1.7 oz. size retails for $58.

Finn & Co. White Sand and Black Sand Luxury Fragrance Oils Review + American Beauty Gift Box ($72) Giveaway!--Ends December 26, 2013

Disclaimer:  This post is based on free products provided by a company as a press sample so that I may offer my own  opinion, which may be the same or differ from yours.

Finn & Co. American Beauty Gift Box

Finn & Co. is a new Maine-based company started by a mother and daughter that I have been hearing a lot of good things with their beach-inspired fragrances that use only the finest carrier and essential oils in their creations.  Being a perfumista, I knew that I had to see if the rumors of how beautifully the pair incorporated the ocean and surrounding elements into their White Sand and Black Sand Luxury Fragrance Oils were true for myself. 

These luxury fragrance oils are in roll on form and contain jojoba and apricot seed oil in all natural formulas. There are no sulfates, parabens, formaldehyde, phthalates, or phosphates in any of their products to ruin the integrity of the pureness. 

Even in the box, I caught a pleasant whiff of the first fragrance I opened.  White Sand is fresh and yet sunny with an aquatic influence, but there is enough green to give it a breezy quality as well.  This was a delightful, refreshing fragrance that warmed like a day spent leisurely sunbathing at the beach.

On the other hand, Black Sand Luxury Fragrance Oil, is more mysterious with a warm sweetness to it.  Imagine strolling on the beach one summer's night in the moonlight, kicking up the warm sand as you walk in your bare feet.  In the air, you pick up that salty ocean breeze against the sensual musk of heated skin and landscape.  This is a slow seduction that is earthy and intriguing.

I thought these were lovely and would make beautiful holiday gifts.  I was particularly drawn to White Sand, the fresher of the duo because it has a charming allure to it.  Either 10-ml White or Black Sand Luxury Fragrance Oil retails for $42 each.  The American Beauty Gift Box has both fragrance oils for $72.  

Buy online at  Finn & Co. or find locations where to buy here.

Thanks to Finn & Co., one lucky Nuts 4 Stuff reader in the United States wins the American Beauty Gift Box that contains White Sand Luxury Fragrance Oil (10 ml) and Black Sand Luxury Fragrance Oil (10 ml) for a ($72 value)!

New Soap & Paper Factory's Bouquet Hand-Made Eau de Parfum Smells Like the Most Beautiful Bouquet of Roses! (Review)

Disclaimer:  This post is based on a free product provided by a company as a press sample so that I may offer my own  opinion, which may be the same or differ from yours.

Soap & Paper Factory's Bouquet Eau de Parfum

Who can resist a bouquet of fresh fragrant roses?  That enticing sweet aroma of what smells like hundreds of petals escapes once you spray Soap & Paper Factory's newest sensation, Bouquet, the second hand-made eau de parfum spray in this new line of three sold exclusively at Anthropologie!

Undeniably romantic, Bouquet is a rose lover's dream in this richly floral fragrance. The way the essence of Turkish roses and rose geraniums permeate through this very feminine mix enveloping your senses is lush and incredibly beautiful.  You can't help but lose yourself in this fragrance with its exhilarating happy rush that feels like falling in love, where you want to continue feeling forever.  When the violet like notes of orris emerge, this fragrance layers the scent with a bit of undiscovered mystery as it continues to tempt those within its vicinity.

If you are a fan of rose floral scents, I think you would love this new creation from Soap & Paper Factory  just as much as I do.  The 1.7 oz. bottle of Bouquet Hand-Made Eau de Parfum Spray retails for $32.  Do look into this fragrance because it is charming!

Attention, All Perfumistas: NEW Beauty on the Horizon With Violet Hand-Made Perfume Spray From Soap & Paper Factory! (Review)

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Violet Hand-Made Perfume Spray From Soap & Paper Factory

Perfumistas, listen up because I have good news to report on the natural fragrance front.  Soap & Paper Factory has added three new handmade perfume sprays to their collection of tempting offerings.  If that is not exciting enough,  they are  now available on Anthropologie!

The line includes Bouquet (a celebration of rose), Camilla, and Violet Hand-Made Eau de Parfum Sprays.  I was the lucky recipient of Violet to share with you in this review.

Awaiting you in Violet is sheer romance and all about femininity.  This perfume is overflowing with floral beauty from crushed violet petals and exotic jasmine.  

Heady at first, I also detected a bit of green as it developed, which complimented this blooming mix and steeped it with unavoidable elegance.  

As the citron notes emerge, this fragrance becomes fresher with more a velvety sweet aroma that it is irresistible.

If you are a fan of violet scents, I think you would be pleased with Soap & Paper Factory's composition just as much as I am.  

The 1.7 oz. bottle of Violet Hand-Made Eau de Parfum Spray retails for $32.  Do look into these new fragrances because the one that I just tried is simply heavenly!   

Smell Delectable! Lavanila's Vanilla Coconut Forever Fragrance Oil and The Healthy Vanilla Coconut Deodorant (Review)

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Lavanila's Vanilla Coconut Forever Fragrance Oil

You just might  unknowingly serve yourself up for dessert when that luscious aroma of Lavanila's Vanilla Coconut Forever Fragrance Oil  radiates from you instead of an oven.  Seeping with exotic Tahitian Tiare flower in the midst of an irresistible blend of creamy coconut and Madagascar vanilla, this tropical fruity-floral gives new meaning to a gourmand with the delicate sweetness it leaves behind.
  
The Vanilla Coconut Forever Fragrance Oil is a long-lasting roll-on made of pure essential oils in a base of hydrating almond oil and I had the pleasure to review it.   What you experience is natural exotic beauty at its best when those select ingredients heat against your skin.  As your body temperature rises, it is what ignites that sexy, yummy appeal and makes it impossible to resist.

I also was sent the matching The Healthy Deodorant.  This is a solid stick of natural protection without any worrisome chemicals like aluminum, parabens, petrochemicals, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oils, silicone, or synthetic dyes to possibly subject your body to a health risk. 

The Healthy Vanilla Coconut Deodorant

With Lavanila Laboratories special beta glucan technology, pure essential oils and use of powerful antioxidants, I discovered this stick was gentle on the pits and worked just as well for me throughout my day as my current brand.  I can't say how it would hold up through a sweltering summer day, but it was a wonderful way to go since the more you seemed to sweat, the more the vanilla coconut emerged. 

This rinses off well unlike some anti-perspirant/deodorants that can be harder to wash off.  However, I really liked it especially if you're trying to avoid aluminum and those suspect chemicals linked to breast cancer.  I will continue using this one. 

The Healthy Deodorant in Vanilla Coconut is sold in two sizes and a value threesome that range from $10 to $44.  Be kind to yourself and look into this Lavanila's safer alternative and that delicious smelling Vanilla Coconut Forever Fragrance Oil, which retails for $25 for the .27 fl. oz. size.

My Latest Fragrance Addictions! Garden Botanika's Four Custom Perfume Sprays Review + ($128) Giveaway! (4 Winners!)--Ends April 29, 2013

Disclaimer:  This post is based on free products  provided by a company as a press sample so that I may offer my own  opinion, which may be the same or differ from yours.

Garden Botanika's Four Custom Perfume Sprays

Garden Botanika gives Spring a delightful welcome with the launch of their four new custom blended eau de parfum sprays--Pink Peppercorn, Pink Plumeria, Gimme Some Sugar, and Charmed.  Each one sent to me for this review and giveaway is uniquely stunning and brings a world of captivating fresh beauty that can only brighten your mood just as the return of nature's blooms and green!  In fact, I can't wait to tell you about them because they are truly special and deserve your attention.

If you're particularly passionate about yummy smelling gourmand fragrances, then you need to sample Gimme Some Sugar first.  This is sinfully loaded with sweet vanilla and creamy coconuts with swirls of rich caramel to pleasantly tease.  The artful combination lends a comforting touch to that luscious decadence.  As this eau de parfum dries down in the base and warms further with notes of musk and amber, the wearer becomes even more irresistible.  Softly seductive, this fragrance turns you into a tempting treat meant to be exquisitely savored.

Charmed comes from a completely different fragrance family.  This is a gorgeous fruity-floral that has a gentle serene quality and elegance about it.  Juicy grapefruit and red fruits open this scent as it prepares for the entrance of the star.  Those floral notes of the heart with muguet, white jasmine, and lily shine, moving with talent through this scent like a graceful prima ballerina.  With notes of musk, amber, and cedar, this eau de parfum ends with a warm and sophisticated finish.  Think of the base as when that ballerina takes her bows with the appreciative applause for her superb performance.

The boldest and most sensual of the group is Pink Peppercorn.  This is an uninhibited spicy, but earthy fragrance that dares with its sultry opening green notes.  The fragrance flirts with a confidence that keeps you guessing.  Once the pepper accord mixes with the amber and woods as it dries down, this fragrance mellows exquisitely rooting itself with romance and feminine appeal. 
  
Last of all, there is one I covet even more with Garden Botanika's Pink Plumeria Eau de Parfum Spray.  Though it is classified as a fruity-floral, this is bursting with tropical floral and green that compliment the Plumeria blossoms perfectly.  Instant pleasure hits you upon experiencing this happy fragrance that greets with a lei of Plumeria flowers like a warm Hawaiian welcome.  As the sun goes down in this tropical paradise in the base, you experience a calm, romantic beauty from the white musk accord.

Whether your preference is gourmand, fruity, earthy, or floral, you will love these four new Garden Botanika custom scents for yourself or to gift your mother or wife with this Mother's Day.  The 3.38 fl. oz. eau de parfum spray retails for $32.  However, the company has a sweet price reduction on Pink Peppercorn, Pink Plumeria, Gimme Some Sugar, and Charmed Eau de Parfum Sprays for just $20 now until May 31, 2013.  Do plunk down for a bottle or several because these are beautiful fragrance bargains!

Temptingly Delicious Skin Care 101! Melvita's Red Berry Body Milk Moisturizer Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Melvita's  Red Berry Body Milk Moisturizer

If you want to smell as temptingly delicious as a basket of freshly picked raspberries and soften your skin with beneficial organic ingredients in the process, then look no further.  Lately, I have been pampering myself with Red Berry Body Milk Moisturizer from French beauty brand, Melvita, and it is something to indulge in.

This is a yummy, fruity delight to spoil you as well as treat with Shea butter and sesame oil for their moisturizing capabilities along with antioxidant properties of fresh raspberry, blueberry, and red currant extracts for repairing skin.

The formula bathes your body in a luscious, creamy milk consistency that is well absorbing.  As you dispense this luxurious lotion from its convenient pump and apply, the experience of the refreshing berry scent will help enliven your senses with stimulating aromatherapeutic action.

Anyone hunting for a fantastic organic body lotion would love this product, especially those drawn in particular to raspberry scents.  However, its incredibly scrumptious aroma does seem to make you hungry along with beautifully caring for your skin!   

The 6.7 oz. bottle retails for $28.  Do visit Melvita and test for yourself the stimulating berry driven formula of Red Berry Body Milk Moisturizer.  You will like it.

Soap & Paper Factory's Neroli Perfume Spray

The Soap & Paper Factory is an endless bounty of beautiful perfumes, lotions, creams, candles, home fragrance sprays, rooms diffusers, and scented soaps that are free of petroleum, parabens, or phthalates.  Naturally, this is a dream world to any fragrance lover.  Regardless of that glorious scented form, any true perfumista such as yours truly would delight in anything this wonderful New York company produces starting with the Neroli  Eau de Parfum Spray  I received for this review.

Though you may assume this fragrance would have lighter citrus freshness, I found Soap & Paper Factory's Neroli was more a headier, sensual blend.  This was hardly any timid perfume, but a lovely, confident one seeping in mystery and warmth.

As powerfully alluring as this perfume is, I think it would be best suited for evenings than wearing to the office.  Of course, this is my suggestion unless you intend to spark up romance with co-workers.  Nonetheless, the scent is enticing wherever you choose to wear it.

If light freshness like the breeze coming off the ocean with floral and green is more your preference, I suggest their Marine Eau de Parfum Spray.  Once you read my review and then visit the Soap & Paper Factory , you are in for a real treat so do explore their site and pick up a bottle of both.  They also carry perfumes in solid form as well that I can't wait to try next.

Fragrance to Soothe Your Soul! Thymes Azur Body Water Review

Thymes Azur Body Water

Are you the type mainly attracted to breezy ocean fragrances?  If so, then Thymes Azur Body Water may just fit the bill to carry you off from the rigors of your day. With its special restorative blend of scientifically formulated ingredients of sea herbs, minerals, and vitamins, this light marine fragrance might be your ticket to a relaxing ocean voyage from the comfort of your home.

Unlike Naia Cologne, another reviving marine type scent that I had previously reviewed from the creative Minneapolis collective known as Thymes, the Azur Body Water has less of a floral influence.   Due to the white tea to dilute the water lily and jasmine, this beautiful fragrance also has a watery floral delicateness but only with a hint of those flowers.  However, once the crisp bergamot and influx of green from herbs emerge, this scent becomes even fresher somehow than the Naia. 

When you detect those notes of amber, vanilla, and musk, this fragrance leaves you with a comforting peacefulness to those watery notes, almost like you are inhaling the combined essences of nature's flowers, green  grasses, and musk, drifting in from the sea.  This has a clean and calming quality that does seem to help put you in a better state of mind.

I highly recommend the Azur fragrance line to anyone that is looking for a soft marine scent that is easy to wear while being clean and so refreshing.  Such gentleness in this watery floral is especially wonderful to wear to work without being intrusive and overpowering to others.  At the same time, this may be just the prescription for staying grounded and relaxed throughout normal stresses of  your day.
