Lavanilla 
LAVANILA is a fragrance line with the unusual claim of being a healthy fragrance. The products are made with essential oils, natural botanicals and have "super antioxidant technology" that is supposed to help your skin stay young and rejuvenated, unlike the alcohols in other perfumes. Only at Sephora, the line has three fragrances: Vanilla, Vanilla Blossom and Vanilla Grapefruit. All retail for $56 for 1.7-oz. They are just too good to pass up. This good-for-your-skin fragrance uses essential oils and natural extracts making it the first healthy scent for your bod. While that is really exciting, there is only one reason why this is on my list. THE SCENT. It's incredibly sophisticated, fresh, and edible. The boys will be chasing you!
