What Could Be More Romantic than L’Occitane en Provence’s Pivoine Flora Collection This Valentine’s Day! (Review)

L'Occitane en Provence's Pivoine Flora Beauty Cream 

Though an inanimate object, a fragrance can say so much.  Just like people, there are bold scents that can be daring, perhaps, a bit loud while others are strong enough to shout.  Others can be joyous and so full of bright energy that you can almost feel that burst of happiness. Still, others are so beautiful in the aura of glamour or confidence they radiate that you can’t help but admire them.  If any can initiate romance and set a mood, it is through L’Occitane en Provence’s captivating Pivoine Flora Collection for some Valentine’s Day magic.

The ideal way to begin is by lavishing all over first with some luxurious, but light Pivoine Flora Beauty Cream ($38) before you dress for that perfect evening. The alluring scent of peonies on your silky smooth skin entices enough to set the stage to bewitch your Valentine, who will have a hard time from wanting to caress your perfumed skin.

Since I think you would want to guarantee you’re the only one Valentine would see, I think the Pivoine Shimmering Oil ($36) is well called for.  This fragrant floral oil with a bit of shimmer is just what you need in a few appropriate spots like bare shoulders or cleavage to keep your love’s eyes riveted.  Do I need to say more?

Next, I would reach for my Pivoine Flora Eau de Parfum ($62) because this heady floral is the elixir of the initial products that will reel that Valentine in, but good.  With top notes of grapefruit, bergamot against green notes, the fragrance is fresh and yet bright like excited anticipation. The heart unfolds with an avalanche of peonies not to be undone by the sheer beauty of magnolia and violet.  Yet the base notes of luscious vanilla, earthy musk and haunting cedar are what ignites the mix into the perfect blend of femininity and seductress that will work for you every time.

In keeping that romantic mood going, I recommend lighting a Pivoine Flora Romantic Candle ($35) to set the tone of the evening.  The sweet aroma of the peony blossoms in the air is so beautifully intoxicating that it will drive your Valentine crazy with the need to pull you closer just to get more of that captivating scent for one promising night.

Scents of Purpose Gift Set and Flirt Soap

Harvey Prince Natural Perfumes knows how to make us, as women, feel truly irresistible and desired with their exhilarating line of sensational fragrances that are scents geared with specific purposes.  And as a big fan, I am pleased to be working with them again for this big holiday review and giveaway!

Those that still never tried any of their amazing fragrances would find a good place to start is with their six roll-on perfumes in the Scents of Purpose Gift Set.

Eau de Lite fragrance and Flirt Soap

Eau Flirt, which I personally labeled the man magnet for the way this gorgeous scent works to drive men wild with tempting notes of floral, fruit, and spice like freesia, ylang ylang, jasmine, lavender, pumpkin pie, nutmeg, cinnamon and warmth from amber.  Ladies, this is  the perfume that definitely will get you noticed by male eyes and I must confess my ultimate favorite.

Eau Fling, is the one that has proven science behind it for just the right mix to fire men up with arousing natural ingredients like lavender, jasmine, juicy raspberry, luscious plum, nutmeg, cinnamon, sexy musk, and rare woods.

For happily ever after, Coupling, is one up to the task.  This is so pretty with that heavenly aroma of gardenia, freesia, patchouli, cinnamon, nutmeg, cucumber, with a sexy dose of amber.

Eau de Creme is the one for adding a playful sizzle to any romance.  Can you imagine a more fun way to tempt your man than with delicious rum raisin, vanilla, passion fruit, chocolate, citrus, and patchouli?

Eau de Lite is known to help suppress appetites with a mix of green apple, rosemary, peppermint,  sandalwood, and fennel.  However, it does stir male appetites up in other ways--like for delicious YOU!

Ageless is the one fragrance to keep you smelling young with a vibrant blend of fresh pink grapefruit, pomegranate, luscious mango, jasmine, tuberose, ylang ylang, and sandalwood.  Think of this as a sensory beauty lift to beat that age barrier!

Ageless Soap and Coupling Eau de Toilette

Another way to savor those sensual fragrances are through Harvey Prince's beautiful and moisturizing scented soaps in Flirt and Ageless.  The Flirt bar has green tea leaves, essential oil of lavender, and mowrah shea butter  with exfoliation properties as well from pumpkin seeds.  The Ageless bar has time released collagen actives, soothing olive oil, vitamin E,  green tea, grapefruit, mowrah shea butter, and pumpkin and berry seeds built into that formula.  Trust me, these giant bars smell so gorgeous you'll want to stock up and hide extra to perfume your lingerie drawer.

I really do love everything this company makes that I tried so far and have no doubts that you will too once you experience some of their fragrant magic.  So give that special woman in your life a gift from Harvey Prince Natural Perfumes and watch how quickly you power up her smile to one with more wattage than any holiday lights!

Harvey Prince Natural Perfumes *Sizzling Hot* Fling Perfume Review and Giveaway! (3 Winners!)--Ends August 27, 2012

Harvey Prince Fling Eau de Toilette

Just when you thought summer couldn't get any hotter, Harvey Prince Natural Perfumes is doing it again and turning up the heat with this Fling Eau de Toilette review and giveaway.  And trust me, this is the flaming hot fragrance that will have him burning for you!

Think of yourself as a sexy matador stepping into the ring before a dangerous bull is released.  That aroma of jasmine, lavender and pumpkin pie joined by black current, plum, raspberry, apple, nutmeg, cinnamon, musk, and rare woods create the tempting smell I like to compare to the red cape you raise to taunt and draw that animal in.

Excitement builds.  Adrenaline rushes once that potent scent reaches him.  However, there is no place to run.  You sense the impending danger and yet welcome it as that beast charges toward you.  This is the powerful effect that Fling Eau de Toilette can have on a man.  

Therefore, I warn you that wearing Fling can be risky.  This stimulating sensual brew will arouse his desires and keep him focused solely on you. 

Now that I cleared my conscience, I say, "Toro, Toro," and eagerly step back into the ring.  If you also like to live dangerously, then I definitely think you need to try Fling and experience that walk on the wild side!

Thanks to Harvey Prince Natural Perfumes, three lucky Nuts 4 Stuff readers in the United States or Canada win a 1.7 oz. bottle of Fling Eau de Toilette Spray ($55 value)!

Simple Tricks to Perk You Up--Try Scents!

The next time you need some extra energy you might want to try a trick aromatherapists use--cinnamon.  Keep some of this spice in a small cloth bag in the top drawer of your desk.  So every time you open that drawer, you'll get a stimulating whiff and more concentration.

Inhaling peppermint oil is known to improve mental accuracy in tasks such as typing and filing alphabetically faster.  Sucking on mint candy can also help boost brain function according to experts in one study.

Smelling coffee alone can get your brain revved up.  Try keeping a small dish with some beans on your desk and sniff when you feel yourself winding down.

The scent of lemon is great for lifting your mood as well as stamina.  Something as insignificant as switching to a lemon-scented cleaner or air freshener could possibly do the trick.  Another helpful thing to try is a squeeze of a fresh lemon into a glass of water.

The scent of floral jasmine can stimulate the brain also.  If you drink some aromatic jasmine tea, you find yourself feeling more alert by the time you finish!
