![]() I've been buying grapefruits to eat, to drink and now I have a grapefruit bath & shower gel. For the past couple of years, I've been such a fan of grapefruit. The scent is such a great pick me up! It's energizing and really gets you going. I've been using this grapefruit bath & shower gel every morning. Let me talk about each and give my preference to when I use them during the day.įresh Beauty | Hesperides Grapefruit Bath & Shower Gel I always use soap prior to using any body wash, but these also clean well. They're moisturizing, hydrating and soften the skin. These bath & shower gels feel amazing to the skin. You need very little product, because all create a great lather. I love ALL of them! Let me tell you what ALL have in common. It's not a matter of if you will like these bath & shower gels, but which one to choose. These bath & shower gels are not cheap! They're definitely an indulgence. The other three, which I plan on purchasing later this year and reviewing on A Very Sweet Blog are Brown Sugar, Sugar Lemon and Sugar Lychee. I purchased three: Hesperides Grapefruit, Citron de Vigne and Fresh Life. Not Sponsored: I've been indulging in Fresh Beauty's Bath & Shower Gels.

Picture of the Grove from my iPhone that decided to turn sideways. I tested over a period of days at Sephora, Nordstrom and the Fresh store in the Grove. Middle Notes: bergamot, lotus flower, transparent jasmineĪvailable practically on the moon, $80 for 3.4 Ounces, with ancillary products. Notes (from the Fresh Website): Top Notes: mandarin, Italian lemon, grapefruit I don’t think I’m going to purchase this one since I have an ample supply of Annick Goutals that cover this citrus territory better (they’re the older formulations and in Fresh’s defense are more expensive) but if I were in the market for the giggle inducing Hollywood Diet opening alone would make me purchase, at least in the beensy $20 rollerball one. For those of us who like the really heavy hitters it’s like a palate cleanser. Were I going to a job interview it would be perfect, in that I would smell fresh and nice in a completely unchallenging way I won’t smell like the men’s department at Macy’s or the guy from the mail room who hits on all the secretaries. The dry down, while discernible is just a slightly sweet your-skin-but-better clean musk. The middle is still tinged with citrus and when they cal it “transparent” jasmine they aren’t kidding. Trader Joe’s to Santa Monica Blvd METRO bus home killed it off early. ![]() This portion of the program lasts for about an hour or three depending on the temps- three in cooler but the walk from the Sunset Blvd. I eat it as much as I can and buy the juice at Trader Joe’s (a bargain at $1.99 for a quart!) If you are a hater of the fruit then this will be the third circle of hell for you, since the opening is an olfactory carbon copy of a cup of perfected pink grapefruit served on shaved ice with the lightest sprinkling of sugar you can imagine. It’s completely uncomplicated, but you must really like grapefruit. Especially on a day like today, when it was in the mid 80’s, or tomorrow, which should hit 90. I used to love that one, along with Cucumber Baie, Redcurrant Basil and Bergamot Citrus. I remember a female coworker who, when I was presenting in a meeting said “G-d you always smell great” when I was wearing Pomegranate Anise. The ones that I like are simple, refreshing and ones that I am inevitably complimented when wearing. This is sometimes greeted as if I admitted that I really enjoyed a nice unfiltered Camel while visiting the maternity ward or smuggling bacon quiche into Kosher restaurants. I admit that I have a love of some of the scents by Fresh. You can still register here to attend (don’t know about availability on the bus.) We had a blast a few years ago when they came to LA and I think this trip will be a blast as well. First of all, can I just write that I am so looking forward to the LA event? I think it will be so much fun and I am really looking forward to meeting new people and seeing Patty and March again.
