Lavishea In Five New Scents

A big box of heavenly scents arrived on our doorstep this morning. We have plenty of our favorite Lavishea bars back in stock along with five new scents and are currently available in large and small bars.

Scent descriptions from the Lavishea website:

Mountain Twilight -The sweet scent of berries and soft sensual musk, with middle notes of sweet mimosa flowers and apricots, along with subtle hints of oak and juniper.

Peace - Soft, delicate notes of fig and green tea are perfectly blended with Siberian fir to round out the top and heart notes of this unique fragrance. Oriental notes of warm vanilla, jasmine and ylang ylang add alluring depth.

Pomegrante - This fruity, sweet fragrance smells so delicious, it’s almost sinful.

Orange Pomander - A combination of orange with spicy cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg, this scent is wonderfully aromatic and full of complexity.

Pedicure Bar - The Pedicure Lotion Bar features cool, refreshing Tea Tree Oil. As with all the lotion bars Lavishea makes, the Pedicure Bar is great for healing dry skin on rough, calloused feet.
