Joining the ranks of Sage Machado and Dawn Spencer Hurwitz, Sharon Bolton Scents creates a line of perfume oils made from natural essential oils infused with exotic florals, sparkling citrus, and tropical fragrances. Based in Santa Barbara, California each of the three currents scents, Luv, Soul and Truth, is evocative of the breezy beach community where they were created.
Soul, a mixture of papaya, pineapple and coconut with undertones of musk, is like sitting poolside in the sun sipping a pina colada. The lush tropical notes are rendered softly and warmed by the addition of the gentle musk. It’s like happy hour with one of those colorful girly drinks with the paper umbrella—but without the hangover!
Truth is a citrus-based scent with exotic floral notes and a light musk. This is a very wearable scent—almost unisex in its appeal. The floral isn’t too flowery and just serves to mute the tang of the lemon and lime notes a bit. Crisp yet subtle, I can see this being nabbed from you by your boyfriend. Watch out—it may smell even better on him!
Now I’ve saved the best for last, and we all know that all you need is Luv. I was surprised at how much I took to this soft but heady floral mixture of pink gardenia, Hawaiian white flowers mixed with a hint of vanilla and a splash of white musk. I am generally more into fresh, fruity, green scents, but this classy yet clean floral blew me away. I have to say I fell in love with Luv—and if you’d like a soft, fresh signature scent, you just might as well!
Since these are oils vs. alcohol-based perfumes, their staying power is outstanding. In fact, I tested a scent, took a shower and could still smell it in all its muted beauty. Sharon Bolton Scents' products are free of dyes or pigments and as natural as possible without compromising the integrity of the luxurious feel and aromas. They are also cruelty free and the packaging is 100% recyclable. In addition, the delicious trio of Luv, Soul and Truth also come in the form of body washes and body lotions.
Delivered in an exquisite presentation, the experience of opening the package from Sharon Bolton was almost as wonderful as the lovely scents themselves. Sharon puts as much effort into making her customers happy as she does creating her wonderful fragrances.
