Alora Ambiance Isola Reed Diffuser | Review

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

Years and years ago, before most of us had ever seen reed diffusers, my sister purchased a few of them from Alora Ambiance– which at that time was a brand-new company with a brilliant novel approach to home fragrances. The moment I set eyes, and nose, on her reed diffusers I knew that I needed to fill my home with these beautiful creations from this ultra-luxe company. I did, and I have never looked back, and therefore when Alora Ambiance reached out to me, I was absolutely thrilled!
Alora Ambiance Isola Reed Diffuser, which is their most popular fragrance for good reason, is a delectable floral mix of gardenia, tuberose and fig. It is a light and airy fragrance without being too sweet, and it isn't in the least bit pungent. The fragrance might be likened to the experience of walking through a fragrant garden during a warm summer breeze– it is at once ethereal and deeply pleasurable. I have mine in my master bathroom, and each time I open the door I am greeted by its delectable aroma. 
According to Alora Ambiance,

Isola's floral mix of gardenia, tuberose and fig is one of our most popular fragrances. One of the lightest fragrances in our collection and perfect for a bedroom.
About Alora Ambiance,

Alora Ambiance is the result of sisters Annie and Therese Gibbons' 15-year adventure living in Lake Como, Italy. After discovering the age-old Italian wicking method, they decided to design their own "diffuser", as it would come to be known, develop a trio of signature scents and introduce America to the concept they loved so much. Since launching Alora Ambiance in 2000, Annie and Therese have created a cottage industry of competitors yet still remain the category's beloved innovator.
Diffuser with sticks measures 14" tall and lasts 2-3 months.
Overall Assessment: I am utterly smitten, and will continue to purchase lovely products for the home, from Alora Ambiance, forever. A+

$60.00 for 8 oz. Reed Diffuser and $90.00 for 16 oz. from Alora Ambiance and from the official Beautyhabit Amazon Store (Affiliate Links).

Rituals Holiday Gift Guide | #Rituals #GiftGuide #HostessGifts

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Rituals is one of my favorite luxury brands, and their face, body and home products are remarkably affordable without sacrificing any of the luxury. They offer a wide variety of beautiful products from which to choose, and if you are seeking holiday gifts, hostess gifts or stocking stuffers– then Rituals is well worth your consideration. I have reviewed many of their covet-worthy products over the years, and wanted to introduce you to a few of my current favorites.
Rituals Hammam Secret Fresh Eucalyptus & Rosemary Home Fragrance Sticks ($39.00 from Rituals and Barneys New York): I have been enjoying reed diffusers from the time that I first noticed them enter the marketplace, but I am so excited that Rituals added them to their collection. Not only is the the glass vessel an exercise in modern minimalism, but the aroma is heavenly. It reads as a warm Rosemary that is both calming and restorative, and each time that I walk into my bathroom the scent gives me a sense of wellbeing.

According to Rituals,

Arrange the elegant, natural sticks in the perfume-filled bottle. This is a formula in which it is not necessary to turn the sticks. If you want to have an extra perfume experience turn the sticks as needed, after this wash your hands with water and soap. Note: if you turn the sticks a lot it is possible that they last shorter than 3 months.

Caution: Highly inflammable. Keep away from sources of ignition. do not smoke. Keep out of reach of children. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Any liquid that is spilled should be cleaned up immediately. Do not allow the fragrance to come into contact with furniture, leather, or treated wood surfaces. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting; seek medical assistance immediately and show the packaging or label. In the event of contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water and seek specialist advice. In the event of contact with the skin, immediately wash affected areas with plenty of soap and water.
Rituals Indian Rose Scented Candle ($35.00 from Rituals): The moment that I opened the box and smelled this gorgeous candle, it was true love. I love rose scented candles, and this one is really special. The aroma features the pairing of Indian Rose and Sweet Almond Oil, and it is warm, sweet, but not too sweet, and perhaps one of the most lovely roses imagined.

According to Rituals,

The candle combines the gentle fragrance of. the old Ayurvedic ingredients Almond Oil & Indian Rose, for a relaxing effect on body and soul. Enjoy 50 hours of the Indian Rose candle.
Rituals Samurai Bath Luxurious Bath Foam ($19.00 for 16.9 oz. from Rituals): If you love to take bubble baths, or if someone on your holiday gift list does, then this bath foam is sure to delight.

Furthermore, this formula is enriched with natural extracts that gently clean the skin without stripping it.
