Lavanila...not your typical Vanilla

I just had to write about how much I LOVE Lavanila! My favorite in the line is Pure Vanilla and Vanilla Grapefruit. They also make Vanilla Spice, Vanilla Coconut, Vanilla Blossom and their newest creation Vanilla Lavender. The company makes several products using all the different scents. You can choose from body wash, lip butter, lip shine, body butter fragrance and even a candle.

The company markets their products as being "healthy". By using all natural and organic ingrediants you can be rest assured that the product you are using is quality. The products are chocked full of rich antioxidants and essential oils.

Pure Vanilla is by far my favorite of the bunch. It is not your average "teeny bopper" drugstore vanilla that makes you smell like a bakery. This fragrance embodies notes of freesia, patchouli, heliotrope and Madagascar vanilla. It is a very elegant fragrance and much more complex than a simple vanilla fragrance. I would highly recommend trying this one out if you love vanilla!

My next favorite in the line is Vanilla Grapefruit. This has the same soothing vanilla notes but contains a zesty punch of citrus. It is classic summer in a bottle. Notes within the fragrance are grapefruit, bergamot, lime, patchouli, heliotrope and Madagascar vanilla. Again this is not your average run of the mill vanilla fragrance.

These fragrances are available at sephora.com and lavanila.com. The fragrances will set you back $56 bucks but are well worth it.

I haven't tried any of Lavanila's other products to date except yesterday while at Sephora I decided to purchase the Pure Vanilla Deodorant. The fragrance smells divine I do have to say. The fragrance makes me want to smell my pits all day...well not really. But it does have that same gloriously rich scent that I love! I have to admit though 20 hours later I am smelling a little muskier than I would like to be. For $18 I expected to be smelling freshly sweet all night and day. I may have to send this one back and return to my staple...handy dandy and simple $3 Dove deodorant.
