Wedding
When you’re ready to arouse your heart’s deepest desire, the Create Passion Collection holds pleasures to delight you both. Start with a candle—because no one confides their secret fantasies under bright lights. Mist the air and bed linens next, because sometimes the best moments between the sheets follow innocent moments on top of them. Then turn up the heat through your loving touch, with the bath and shower gel, massage cream, personal lubricant and towelettes. Or try them all, in the fun and convenient travel set. Using pure essential oils, these scents are rich, warm and sensuous with hints of spices, fragrant flowers, and fruit, along with exotic notes of ylang ylang, black pepper, ginger and more. The Create Passion Collection lifts you out of the ordinary and gives you thrilling ways to say, “I want you!”
Whether your relationship is a young wine or a well-aged vintage, the Inspire Romance Collection helps you recapture the romantic heart of your love. Start by setting the stage with mood lighting, the most flattering we know— candlelight. Intensify the romantic ambience with a subtle mist for room and bedding. Move closer still and reconnect through touch, with a soothing bath and shower gel, and caressing massage cream. Or try them all, in the fun and convenient travel set. Using pure essential oils, these scents are fresh and natural, with notes of fruit, herbs, and spice, plus calming accents of lavender, frankincense, bergamot and more.
