Using fragrance in the home is a relatively new concept here in North America, but many cultures have been doing it for centuries.

With the Anthousa Collection, you can choose Ambiance sets that allow bamboo sticks to fill the room with fragrance or candles in the most beautiful, luxurious scent collections – Orchard, Citrus, Blossom, Chinoiserie and Spring. Other fragrances include Orange Blossom, Pomelo & Kumquat, Sacred Myrrh and Holiday.

The fragrances are packaged in custom Italian vintage-inspired glass bottles and include a silver ball stopper and come in 3 sizes. There is also a stunning blown glass collection.

I love the Sacred Myrrh fragrance which has a wonderful warm and spicy, yet delicate aroma. And the Chinoiserie Collection is lovely and musky and includes 3 scents – Lavender & Chinese May Chang, Warm Amber & Cedarwood and Winter Daphne, Peony and Clove, which are all simultaneously soothing and intoxicating! I can’t imagine my house without them now!

For the upcoming holidays, Orange Spice is the perfect accompaniment to harvest dinners and evenings in front of the fire!

The Bath & Body Line has just been introduced for Fall 2007. I tried the Grapefruit & Lime Blossom and Cucumber & Honeysuckle Moisturizing Body Lotions which were so rich and lovely and smelled so good that throughout the day, I was caught sniffing my wrist – 3 times! These scents also come in Hydrating Shower & Bath Gel, Nourishing Body Cream and French Milled Soap. Mmm.

Rest assured that the scents you find here are going to knock the socks of that diffuser that you bought at the drugstore.

Try these ones and you’ll see what I mean.

Your place will smell like a million bucks – and it won’t cost you even close to that.

Pretty good deal, wouldn’t you say?
