TOCCA Eau de Parfum

TOCCA means to "touch" in Italian and each of the scents will take you on a journey. If your looking for a stocking stuffer, there's a scent for everyone to pick from. The Eau de Parfum comes in a beautiful cut glass, Italian-made bottle with a heavy embossed gold-colored cap. The bottle was inspired by vintage 1920's cognac bottles, in the whimsical shape of Cinderella's pumpkin carriage. The most popular fragrances are Cleopatra, Florence, and Stella.

Tocca was kind enough to send a few samples over. The 50ml size goes for around $72.
The ones I tried were Emelia and Maya. First let's start with Emelia. Tocca describes it as:

"A wanderer and explorer, Emelia call the world her home. Adventurous and curious, she could be found climbing the Western Cape mountains, picking fresh loquat fruit, or sipping and iced latte in Paraguay. Her vivacious, bohemian spirit enchants with refreshing notes of fig and clementine balanced by the natural earthiness of geranium and magnolia.'

 Key Notes: Watery Clementine, Geranium Coeur, Mate Absolute Paraguay
It's light, refreshing and clean smelling.

Maya is described by Tocca as:

"Distinctive and confident, Maya exudes strength of character with a rare joining of Wild Iris, Sweet Violet Leaf, and Blackcurrant. Daring is cocooned in elegance as Rose Damascena and Jasmine are wrapped with Patchouli Heart and Oakmoss, creating the ultimate expression of thoughtfulness in beauty."

Key Notes: Wild Iris, Blackcurrant, Patchouli Heart, Oakmoss
This is a deep seductive scent and reminds me of a romantic night when I smell it.

Vitabath - Luxury Bath & Body Products

Vitabath has been making superior bath and body products for over 60 years. At one point Vitabath was only available in Europe. Nowadays, you can hop over to Ulta or Walgreens and they are on the shelf. The Vitabath Original Spring Green Geleè was their classic top selling fragrance that brought Vitabath into popularity over 6 decades ago. The fragrance is a refreshing blend of patchouli and pine, lightly accented with accords or rosewood. 

They have expanded line and now offer tons of other products like:

• bath bombs
• epsom salts 
• bubble bath
• bath fizzies
• bath soaks
• shower tables
• lotions
• body oil
• body cream
• body wash 
• bar soap
• shower and bath gelee
• fragrance mists 

Plus, they have a whole fragrance line to pick from with scents like: Lavender Chamomile, Heavenly Coconut Crème, Cool Spearmint & Thyme, Pomegranate Bellini Blush, Lime Citron Basil, Cucumber & White Tea, Coconut Noir, Pomegranate & Blood Orange, or Luscious Lemon Crème.

Vitabath was kind enough to send over a few items of the line for me to check out. My favorite out of the bunch was the Lavender Chamomile Bath Bomb. These go for $7.95, so they are typically the same price point as Lush. Smells great, and this is a calming way to soothe away stress from a long day. 

Next, I tried the Original Spring Green Moisturizing Lotion which 20 fl oz goes for $19.95. It's an intoxicating mix , it's moisturizing, and it sinks in quickly without being greasy or oily. The smell is strong but nice, so if strong scents are not your thing, I would find something more subtle. It smells very refreshing and clean and I can understand why this scent is one of number one picks. 

Lastly, I tried the Cool Spearmint & Thyme Fragrance Mist which 8 fl oz goes for $7.95. This offered a cool sensation of spearmint, eucalyptus, tea tree, french thyme, & rosemary. I would personally prefer a different scent ....some of the others sound more tempting to me than this one. The spearmint reminded me too much of mouthwash and/or gum, and I find it more suiting for a man than a woman.
