14 Beauty Products That Just Make Scents!

It makes perfect sense: we tend to make our buying decisions based on emotions we’re having at that very moment– directly relating to the sensory experience the product itself evokes.  When it comes to beauty products, the chances are that we’ve taken a whiff, loved it, and now we can’t live without it.  We’ve just unknowingly created an immediate emotional relationship!  Our sense of smell is such a powerful purchase motivator, and we can’t just turn our noses off and on.  It would be nice if I could turn my nose off whenever I walk by an Abercrombie & Fitch store!  The fragrance they are piping in that place reminds me of not a single pleasant thing in this universe and doesn’t exactly make me want to open up my wallet on that premise alone.  See what I mean about the emotional impact of a fragrance?

Maybe you’ll discover something new that makes you feel more “at home”, lifts your spirits, or takes you to a dreamy place among these fragrant indulgences:

• Victoria’s Secret Merry Vanilla Twirl Secret Garden Collection (limited edition)* — Crème brulée, vanilla, and starfruit make Merry Vanilla Twirl dazzle and shine!  This may be a holiday collection, but if you like the warmth of vanilla-based fragrances– you might want to snatch up a few of these delicious bath and body products for the new year.
