Pamper Your Skin with Natural Holiday Perfume Scents

If you're shopping in any of the major department stores, you will likely come across the "perfume lady" that will try to entice you to try the latest celebrity scented perfume. Although it is an attractive marketing technique, you might want to decline the free splash of synthetic chemicals. Unfortunately most people won't look past the catchy packaging, or alluring scents that are full of harmful chemicals. With holiday season at its peak, there will be parties to attend, cocktail dresses, and white elephant gifts to give. Of course you will want to smell gorgeous, and you can without added poisons. Here are some of my favorite natural scents to leave you feeling blissful.

I came across the brand Pacifica, when I was surfing the web for natural scents. Pacifica is 100% vegan, bringing you fragrances that were inspired through experiences and heart. That means they are environmentally safe containing no parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, petro-chemicals, phthalates, GMO, or triclosan. For the holidays they have a couple of limited edition gift sets that will invite your inner holiday goddess of joy to come out in the midst of a stressful day.

Pacifica Wanderlust Perfume Roll-on Collection

This trio of perfume roll-ons could be the perfect heavenly scented stocking stuffer, or a gift for yourself to keep you smelling fragrant on the go. The Pacifica gift set comes with three natural scents made with organic coconut and soy wax. Tuscan Blood Orange, Indian Coconut Nectar, and Tahitian Gardenia will be sure to sweep you into an intoxicating winter wonderland. You can purchase the Pacifica Wanderlust Perfume roll-on collection on Sephora's website for $22, valued at $36.

Lush Gorilla Perfume

When I was living in England with my Fiancee, I was lured into a store front from a whimsical scent in the cool of winter. The store was called Lush. I was captivated with so many wonderful floral citrusy scents and curious about the hundreds of scented balls (bath bombs)piled up like oranges at a farmers market. With quirky bath bomb names like "Waving Not Drowning", Lush has always been one of my favorite natural cosmetic brands. Gorilla perfumes is a collection specially created for Lush cosmetics, that has a collection of solid perfumes that make perfect pocket-sized perfumes, or co-worker gifts. The solid perfumes come in eight alluring scents like Lust, Karma, Vanillary, Orange Blossom, Tuca Tuca, The Smell of Freedom, Imogean Rose, and Breath of God.

So make sure to say no to the free perfume spritz, and yes to brands that care more about your well-being and less about quality and safety.
