I love fragrance and I'm a sucker for anything seasonal or limited edition AND my favorite season is summer, so I was bound to love LAVANILA's Vanilla Summer fragrance, right? RIGHT! Just listen to how the fragrance is described:

Today's Smell Good: VS Fantasies Forever Pink

VS Fantasies Forever Pink Body Wash, Fragrance Mist, and Body Lotion 

I guess you could say I go through certain obsessions in cycles. Case in point: I switch back and forth between obsessively collecting scents from Bath and Body Works and then switch to Victoria's Secret  {and I don't do it on a small scale-I have to have the trifecta as displayed above}. Apparently I've been on my Bath and Body Works kick for about 6-7 years now, with the frequency with which I make purchases escalating somewhat in the past 2 years or so. But I think that I've exhausted the scent collection from my beloved BBW {well, for body fragrance at least, I'm still quite obsessed with their 3-Wick Candles and Wallflowers... and I may be enticed to the store form time to time when Limited Edition/Seasonal collections appear}. But now, I'm making the transition over to Victoria's Secret...

Today's Smell Good: Sweet Scents for the Body from BBW!

The Sweethearts Collection is one of the latest offerings from Bath and Body Works and are just what you need to get you in a fab and flirty mood for the Spring! The trio of fragrances (a selection from Honey Sweetheart and Daisy Dreamgirl are pictured above, Berry Flirt is the third) was created to celebrate everything glamorous and girly!

Bath and Body Works Pink Chiffon AKA: Today's Smell Good!

Y'all know I love fragrance! I'm constantly using something different because so many different things smell so good to me and I tend to choose scents according to my mood (and I just realized that I'm using this series as an impetus to go through my abundant stash of Bath and Body Works products).

I'm not gonna lie, I feel like poop. Mustering up the will and strength to even get in the shower was a feat in and of its self. So I had to make sure to make the experience worth my while! I picked Bath and Body Works Pink Chiffon in an effort to pick up my mood and help me smell better. My nose (and the hubby) thanked me!

Bath and Body Works' Paris Nights AKA: Today's Smell Good!

Y'all know I love fragrance! I'm constantly using something different because so many different things smell so good to me and I tend to choose scents according to my mood (and I just realized that I'm using this series as an impetus to go through my abundant stash of Bath and Body Works products).

I selected Paris Nights from Bath and Body Works for my first at-home spa night of the year. The hubby is super sensitive to smells (the wrong fragrance gives him an instant headache), so I had him smell this before I used it to make sure it was okay with his senses! It received his coveted stamp of approval (my beloved Jurlique Herbal Recovery Night Cream did not fair as well, nor did the Snowed In 3-Wick Candle featured above) and obviously I love it too! And of course, I have a well established affinity towards goodies stamped with the name "Paris," so of course I adore this luxe set (and how I wish I had scooped up the gorgeous sparkly body mist while I had the chance)! 

Bath and Body Works' Love Love Love AKA: Today's Smell Good

Y'all know I love fragrance! I'm constantly using something different because so many different things smell so good to me and I tend to choose scents according to my mood. Today I selected Love Love Love from Bath and Body Works and am utterly intoxicated with its sweet effervescence! The first time I used it, I was sort of overwhelmed by how much it smelled like grape Jolly Ranchers, and I contemplated exchanging it (gotta love the 100% satisfaction guarantee that BBW has), but I'm SO GLAD I gave it another shot. This stuff is GOOD! And how much do you love the labels?!?! They're like a beautiful Monet!

Anyway, BBW describes the scent as "a lovely trio of white plum, peony petals and glittering vanilla musk." The top notes are succlulent berries, white plum, and juicy pear (which I suppose accounts for my thoughts of grape flavored hard candies), with mid notes of peony petals, lily of the valley, and freesia (and I am all about some freesia). All I know is, regardless of the description, my nose says it smells so so good! Bright and fruity/floral; just an uber feminine and unique fragrance. This is the perfect little fragrant pick me up to help you brighten up any gray day.

Bath and Body Works' Cashmere Glow AKA: Today's Smell Good!

Y'all know I love fragrance! I'm constantly using something different because so many different things smell so good to me and I tend to choose scents according to my mood. Today I selected Cashmere Glow from Bath and Body Works and feel cocooned in luxurious warmth. This stuff is GOOD! And I love the little touch of rose gold they added to the packaging with the caps; it adds to the overall luxe effect of the the product.

Anyway, BBW describes the scent as "a warm blend of golden peach and shimmering vanilla with a heart of soft cashmere musk, inspired by being wrapped in luxury." Um yeah... I think they hit the nail on the head with that description (and I tend to think those little tidbits are a tad corny)! Reading it helps me to understand why I love it so-I'm all about peach anything! I find the fragrance to be rich, warm, and sexy-perfect for the fall/winter and exactly the right thing to spritz when you want to cuddle up with your honey.

Right now, Bath and Body Works has a gorgeous gift set that is perfect to give (or receive/keep) and it's a pretty great value too at $32.50...
