As part of their permanent “Sexy” line, Bath & Body Works has added Charmed Life a new fragrance to their set of scents designed to make you feel alluring, confident and sensual.

Since I’m in the mainland this week visiting Bailey for a couple days, I stopped by her local Bath & Body Works to check out Charmed Life for myself.  At first sniff, this fruity scent is sweet and tart with a strong pear influence. As the scent wore down it became less fruity and more like soft, white flowers. I personally like the body lotion the best: I can smell fruity and delicious without being too overwhelmed with sweetness.

I’m always interested in mandarin and orange notes, especially in the spring and summer.

It’s inspired by the “fiery passion and sunswept beaches of Brazil” and boasts notes of blood orange, mandarin, white jasmine, golden honey and white amber. Sounds like the perfect way to invigorate and smooth skin just in time for summer!

Bath & Body Works Shower Gel in Orange Sapphire is available from Bath & Body Works for $10.50.

It seems as though my skin becomes drier on a daily basis, so I’m beyond intrigued by this soap-free Breathe High Lather Moisture Wash I spotted online, which claims to produce a superior lather all the while hydrating skin with vitamin E, pro-vitamin B5, white tea and shea butter.

The formula is delicately scented with Vanilla Milk, one of my very favorites!

Available from Bath & Body Works for $12.50.

This frothy set of sugary bath and body treats will thrill anyone who wants a hint of a sweet scent.

I personally have a love/hate relationship with Vanilla Bean Noel: I delight in its sugary goodness but tire of it quickly. That said, it has an almost cult-like following and a devoted fan base that cannot get enough of its vanilla bean, caramel and cream notes.

This caddy totes a perfectly portioned dose of the fragrance – it includes a hand soap and body lotion, a great way to savor its sweet scent without overloading your senses.

Bath & Body Works Joyful Wishes is available from Bath & Body Works for $15.
