Eat, Pray, Love: The Fragrance Collection!

August 13th, 2010 by sarah

One of my favorite books of all time is Eat, Pray, Love by, Elizabeth Gilbert…and when I heard they were making the book into a movie a year ago, I couldn’t be happier…until now.

Fresh has taken my love for Eat Pray Love one step further by creating a Eat Pray Love fragrance collection!  The collection includes three different fragrances: Eat, Pray, and Love as well as an Eat, Pray, Love candle trio.  Yes, my head might just explode.

Each perfume is inspired by all the places Elizabeth Gilbert traveled to in her memoir (Italy, India, and Indonesia)…here’s what you have to fall in love with:

Eat:  Inspired by the the author’s trip through Italy, this fragrance is sweet and effervescent. Notes of  bright Italian lemon and basil are balanced with creamy textures reminiscent of cannoli and tiramisu topped off with sparkling Prosecco and Limoncello for the ultimate gourmand experience.

Top Notes: Italian lemon, basil, bergamot
Middle Notes: plum, red currant, rose
Bottom Notes: caramel, meringue, vanilla

Pray:  Is a woodsy fragrance with undertones of exotic spices that are reminiscent of Gilbert’s time spent in India.  Inspired by India’s serene sunsets, fresh soil, and traces of incense and spices that permeate warm winds, this scent has great impact and ultimately puts you at peace with a comforting blend of jasmine, pink pepper, patchouli, amber, juniper berry, cardamom, and incense.

Top Notes: elemi, pink pepper, juniper berry
Middle Notes: incense, peony, rose
Base Notes: patchouli, amber, musk

Love:  This sunny floral, with tropical undertones is embodies the spirit of Bali.  The fragrance bottles the bright, colorful, anything-is-possible feelings of falling in love. Scents of passion, like percolating pheromones, sun-caressed skin, and salty kisses, are combined with the lush aromas of Bali’s exotic landscape.

Top Notes: bergamot, red currant, mango blossom
Middle Notes: lisylang, Tiare, dewy jasmine
Base Notes: sandalwood, vetyver, velvet amber

I cannot wait to sniff these fragrances in person, because they all sound so different and amazing.  Going off the descriptions and notes, I think Eat sounds crisp and light, perfect for day wear…Pray seems to be more deep and spicy and would be great for evening wear and cooler months…Love seems very girlie and sweet, perfect for someone who is in, well, love.  Each bottle is 30 ml, or 1 oz…which is on the smaller side, but with a $32 price tag, it’s not too shabby considering Fresh isn’t the cheapest brand around. 

This limited-edition collection has been so popular that Fresh is sold out online (tear), but you can phone a Fresh store near you to check for availability.  So, good luck on your journey to finding this coveted fragrance…and make sure to see Eat, Pray, Love starring Julia Roberts, it opens today!!

Pssssssst…make sure you read the book too, I have no doubt that it will be better than the movie.

About Cupcakes Taste Nice

My lust for beauty products has been around since I was a kid. I always wanted the most eye catching packaging and the sweetest scents. As a preteen I could not wait to get my first pimple so that I could try out the different acne products that were marketed to me in magazines and on TV. As I got older I just loved the girlie side of wanting to look and feel pretty. I love taking a shower on Saturday morning and having a plethora of products to choose from depending on my mood that day. I anticipate my beauty and style magazines coming in the mail so I can read and research new products. I even spend hours on the internet searching for factual reviews of the latest and greatest products.
