The Valentine’s Day collection will be released on Saturday, January 28th at 11:00 AM EST. If you would like to try out the Valentine’s Day scents before the release, they are now available in the Soap Sampler and Perfume Oil Sampler. Each will be available in cold process soap, cream soap, sugar polish, body whip, body gloss, and perfume oil.
Amber Crush
A purely indulgent and deeply sensual treat! Precious golden amber resins crushed together with dark patchouli and sweetened with a veil of vanilla bourbon.
Beguile
A tantalizing blend of strawberry, white peach, bergamot, and African tamarind at play with apple blossom and whispers of damask rose leading to a seductive base of tonka bean, coconut milk and white musk.
Bittersweet
A slice of sweetness, but watch out for its bite! Juicy slices of sweet clementine, blood orange, tangerine, and ruby red grapefruit drizzled with bittersweet chocolate.
Cocoa Bee
An indulgent creation of fragrant black honey and warm propolis intermingled with dark cocoa, fiery spice, and shreds of bitter almonds.
Love Bite
Sugary ripe raspberries over a blanket of pink and white rose petals with hints of warm musk, sweet and creamy vanilla, and just a delicate breath of white lilies and fresh peonies.
Nightshade
Some of the best things happen in the dark… sweet Bulgarian lavender over an intoxicating base of Madagascar vanilla with a most decadent touch of dark chocolate.
Sugar Shack
This delicious confection will make you absolutely edible! Freshly baked sugar cookies with crushed macadamia nuts topped with buttered toffee morsels and drizzled with white chocolate.

Yay Cocoa Bee! But no Silhouette???

Hi Alyssa! Silhouette failed horribly in a test batch of cold process soap. So, I was thinking of doing it as a “mini release” in the future offered in cream soap and perfume… maybe body whip? polish?

I would definitely buy it all forms that you offer it in! I would love it if you did the body whip! And maybe a foaming body scrub? I love those

Ah, yes! The foaming body scrub! Okay, how about a foaming body scrub, body whip, and perfume? This way, everything is covered – cleanse/exfoliate, moisturize, and scent. It might be a mini release between Valentine’s Day and Spring. Maybe a trio of vanillas – Silhouette, a vanilla sandalwood, and a vanilla oak blend. All of them would have base notes of different woods. A nice theme release for this time of year… or perhaps for Mother’s Day.

That sounds like it would be an amazing trio! I’m excited!
It’d be awesome in a body gloss too… just sayin! lol

What! A body gloss too?! LOL! Sounds like a plan… now it’s just a matter of when I can get it done.

Karen, this collection is so decadent and sexy. I cannot wait to shop with you again. I think I’m gonna do another Karen’s Picks!
Your products are a dream, Karen, with finesse to each and every detail.

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed the Christmas goodies! If I had to choose only one of the Valentine’s Day blends, it would definitely be Nightshade. I made this a while back under the name Midnight, and it is really strong and intoxicating.

Oooh I feel like I’ve enjoyed Midnight before! Have I? Oh Karen, I love your stuff so much that I barely can bring myself to use it. I hold onto it like it’s gold. Your products are so special to me and I’ll always remember how you’ve this incredible memory of what your customers love. You’d sent me some perfume samples in my Christmas box and they were Kama Sutra and Chiquita. Kama Sutra was the first soap that I’d convo’d you about and also the first one I’d fallen in love with. Chiquita, by far, the best banana fragrance in the world of bath and beauty, I swear! Thank you so much for that amazing order and you know how much I love those intoxicatingly captive scents. You, your shop, your products, and your service are extremely incredible. Thank you Karen! xolovexo
