Watkins Vanilla Lotions and Body Care Collection

Watkins has always been known for outstanding vanilla products. Now, the calming aroma of natural vanilla is used to enhance a truly special line of body care products with skin-softening moisturizers and an exclusive blend of essential oils.

The most popular aroma today, either by itself or as a background note. In aromatherapy, it is a calming, comforting fragrance, evoking memories of warmth and home. Centuries ago, it was widely used as an aphrodisiac. As a fragrance, it subtly enhances all other aromatic notes, helping to round, soften and blend

The use of vanilla as a fragrance began many years ago when young girls, forbidden to wear perfume, sneaked a drop or two of vanilla extract behind the ears. As any man who came of age in those days of innocence can testify, it worked. Vanilla is a most appealing fragrance—irresistible, in a very wholesome sort of way. And despite vanilla’s reputation for simplicity, it is actually quite complex, with dozens of flavor components and essential oils contributing to its mellow, intoxicating aroma.

• According to beauty experts, glycerin may be a best friend for someone with dry skin as it shores up the skin’s natural protection by filling up the area known as the intercellular layer and by attracting just the right amount of water to maintain the skin’s homeostasis.
• French-milled is a term used in the soap-making industry to describe a process by which a soap’s ingredients are blended. A soap mill completely homogenizes all of the ingredients for a smoother texture and opaque appearance. The milling process drives out much of the water, resulting in a hard, long-lasting bar. Other techniques have not been able to duplicate the results of this classic process; hence, the term “French-milled” has always been recognized as the mark of quality.

It was also widely regarded as an aphrodisiac in earlier times.  Spritz on our elegant cologne mist; carry the
