Welcome to another Fragrance Friday!!!!. I know that some of you are scratching your heads like, "wha???" but I know I'm sorry I haven't done one of these posts in like a kajillion years...again my sincerest apologies.
So after getting a DELISH hand massage from my boy James (ok I lie. I don't remember if that's his name but it sounds just about right...ha) from Molton Brown, I simply HAD to try these products out.
Now during the hand massage, James used Molton Brown Relaxing Yuan Zhi because I told him of my love for all things lavender. After using the lotion I realized that my arms didn't feel greasy and the lotion was quite lightweight- yet I wasn't left ashy (!).So I went home and since Sunday I have been using the Relaxing Yuan Zhi shower gel, lotion and I spray the sleep mist on my pillow before bed.
If you know me, you'll know that I'm a scent slut and can never commit to just one scent in a day/night. I'm the same girl who spritzes on two different perfumes/ body sprays before leaving the house (my best concoction...Escada's Into the Blue and Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Things...but that's for another post).
Yuan zhi is a wild South China plant that's traditionally used to balance energy (Chi) and soothe the spirit. Relaxing Yuan Zhi contains lavender, bergamot and ylang-ylang essential oils which all work together to calm you down and relax your body. The best part is that neither scent is overpowering. It's not one of those scents where you can automatically call out each of the individual scents. That's the best part to me- the fact that each can work together and not leave you smelling like some flower or the other.
The fact that I have been layering this bad boy on means something. Like I mentioned, the lotion is super lightweight & super absorbent yet totally effective. It's like ash-be-gone...in all seriousness. It's perfect for summer nights because it doesn't get you all sweaty and disgusting like most lotions do (unless I'm the only freak that sweats at night). The skin literally drinks this up thus resulting in grease free skin. The shower gel is very calming especially for hot showers. And that sleep mist...definitely lives up to the name. I'm literally knocked out within 5 minutes which never happens because I'm easily tempted by "Jimmy Kimmel Live".
Personally, I think this was created for me because of my profound attraction to both lavender and bergamot.
I'm actually quite eager to try out the rest of the line and I will be keeping you guys updated.

Too much perfume!!!
It's really not that much as the scents are not overwhelming. They are not perfume cuz perfume would be much much stronger. These area actually very light and someone would have to be thisclose to you to smell it.
Haha! James!? you are too funny! Yeah He kinda did look like a James though. He was really sweet. We sat there and talked about how much of a b*tch LC from "The Hills" is! lol!
