If you haven't heard about my love affair, go here.
I've been hooked on their body butters since I saw Kate Moss in Vogue in the early 90's with the most wonderful sheen on her bod, thanks to Mango Body Butter!
Since then I've played with about a billion different scents, and I'm going to spill some secrets!
My favourite thing is to layer different scents together, or "Mixology", if you will!
Jennifer from Spiced Beauty has the most perfect term for mascara layering . She calls it "Cocktailing", and I think it's a great way to describe scent layering, too!
I have a few tried and true cocktails that are always in rotation!
The best selling scent from The Body Shop is Satsuma. It's a strong, vibrant, orange scent. When layered with shower gel, body butter and fragrance, it tends to be a lot! I break it up with vanilla, and it mellows the scent! Creamsicles!
Brazil Nut body butter, and the Madagascan Vanilla Flower eau de toilette layered leaves a warm nutty spicy-floral scent behind that feels like summer!
Speaking of summer, the Coconut eau de toilette is a clean light and creamy coconut scent which is nothing like the sunscreen-y scent usually associated with it.
If you have been a Body Shop fan for a while, you must have tried the White Musk line of fragrances. They go way back for a reason. Soooooo pretty! One of the newer incarnations is White Musk Libertine. It has notes of Turkish delight, baby orchid and Chantilly cream, which tempers the Musk. Worn over Shea shower cream and body butter you get an added warmth to the scent!
I was at The Body Shop Girls Night Out event last night and I tried a few body sprays that I hadn't tried before. The new Raspberry spray, is AHHH-MAZING! It's crisp and fresh, with a hint of sweetness. I'm pretty sure that it will find it's way into my house soon! As for the event, there's way too much to smush into this post! I'll tell all about it soon! Lots of pretty coming your way!
To check out all of the options to try "Mixology" for yourself, check out The Body Shop, and make your own "Cocktail"! Check out Jennifer and Spiced Beauty, too! You'll be glad you did!
Share your scent secrets!
