French Lilac & Tahitian Gardenia Body Butters by Pacifica {Beauty Notes}

Tahitian Gardenia and French Lilac body butters by Pacifica are two of the items in this body line that I thought smelled particularly good and were worth mentioning. Pacifica, established in 1995, is originally and first and foremost still it seems a candle-making business and these beauty products were made using scents that are popular in the candle line. This reminds me that Hilary Duff also got her inspiration for her perfume With Love from a cherished home candle. A new trend in the making? Tahitian Gardenia smells very tropical, offering a moderate indolic character that prevents it from smelling too sanitized and lacking in character. It would make a great skin scent, not overly complex but comforting and pretty. Same thing for French Lilac. The smell feels natural, springy, and fresh. It has enough of a presence to be used as a skin scent too, one that would not just smell like your preferred means of perfuming yourself is soap....
