After learning about my company and my love of Italy, the next question is usually – “Do you speak Italian?” This question is posed with the hopeful, dreamy expectation that I will say “Yes, of course.” Alas, my sister Divas, I do not speak Italian. I know enough to be dangerous.

I can order food, find a restroom, argue with a taxi driver and most importantly, ask the price? Quanto Costa? I am often stopped on the street and asked directions by locals and tourists. I can usually give them accurately and in understandable terms to each. I must look like a local or a frequent shopper. It’s a gift, I confess, I usually know where all the best shopping and clean restrooms are in most of Europe. The second item being one of the most useful talents a girl can have.

Did you know that honey is as prized and regulated in Italy as wine, cheese and olive oil? Most Americans think of honey as that little bear they keep in their cabinet and add to tea or toast, every now and then.

But the Romans and Egyptians and even their Gods recognized the value of this sweet nectar. It is one of the most ancient of foods. Beekeeping can be traced back to the Ancient Egyptians themselves.

There is a delicate relationship between the bees, plants and the whole honey-making process. The flavor of the honey gathered from the hives depends on the region and the flowers the bees “visit.” That is why there is acacia, chestnut, violet, orange blossom, alfalfa, sage and clover honey, to name a few.

Honey and the Honeybee were the inspiration for our Bella Divina 99% natural beeswax lip balms with shea and cocoa butters. We were inspired by our four floral scents of Firenze, Roma, Palermo and Venezia to create a complimentary scent that would reflect the region…..as the honeybee might fly.

Firenze Honeybee Lip Balm brings to mind the fresh citrus and mint filled breezes of Tuscany with the refreshing combination of lemon, spearmint and honey,

Roma Honeybee Lip Balm rests on a bed of roses blended with the aromatic richness of vanilla. Did you know that CHANEL scents all of their lipstick with rose?

Palermo Honeybee Lip Balm is “mille fiore” ~ a thousand flowers of southern Italy. This coastal region is famous for flower markets where it’s blossoms get shipped to destinations all over the world.

Venezia Honeybee Lip Balm captures the exotic essence of Chai Tea and Vanilla brought in from far-away lands.

Whether you’re sipping Prosecco, gabbing with your girlfriends, or kissing that special someone, every Diva’s lips should always be perfectly soft and feeling Diva-licious.

Well, I can die now. La Dolce Diva was featured in Italian fashion magazine GRAZIA. It made my heart skip a few beats to see it there with actual Italian words describing our luscious Almond Biscotti & Tiramisu products.

Okay, so they called it La Dolce Vita and posted my website incorrectly as La Dolce Vita too….I DON’T CARE! I am just so excited to be included in their coverage of dessert inspired bath & body products. I think they were a bit tickled that they found a line that is inspired by Italian desserts!

Who can blame them for the twist on words anyway…La Dolce Diva IS La Dolce Vita.
Enjoying and recognizing the Sweet Life is the whole point of the collection in the first place.

Grazie Mille, GRAZIA magazine, you have made my year!

The number one comment I hear when rhapsodizing about  La Dolce Diva’s line of Dolce Divina scents is, ” I don’t want to smell like food.” Oh, my goodness, is that what you think? Do you really think I would let you walk around smelling like a bakery? And would that be so bad, anyway?

Just as many people close their eyes and sigh when I tell them about our collection of scents inspired by  dessert – obviously, they are enlightened!

Dolce Divina is a collection of scents inspired by the desserts of Italy. Yes. The scents have names like, Almond Biscotti, Gelato, Strawberry di Chocolata and Tiramisu. True. Are the scents the actual by-products of these delectable desserts? No. They are carefully formulated fragrance oils meant to tease your senses into thinking they smell these items. The oh-so-clever names are simply there to lead the way.

These type of “foodie” scents are actually called Gourmand Fragrances. Doesn’t that sound classier than “foodie?” Well it should. These scents are meant to trigger your olfactory memory, one of the  most powerful parts of our brain that  connects memories to smells. Have you ever smelled fresh baked apple-pie and had a sudden flash of a holiday memory or feel the warmth of a family gathering?  The smell of vanilla wafting through the air brings an image of your mother baking a birthday cake and you smile thinking about it today? It could be something that happened long ago and you had “forgotten” all about it, but a single whiff brings it all back.

Gourmand scents have become so popular because they have been found to , more often than not, produce a feeling of comfort, joy and happy memories. It is not to say that only dessert scents trigger these feelings, steak and baked potatoes are pretty yummy smelling too…but we are talking about bath and body products here, I am confident that I would not find joy in spreading on Steak de la Grille in the morning. We will leave that to the La Dolce Dude Collection. Not.

Gourmand scents are not just meant to take you back, they are also a fabulous way to let your mind escape to a Roman piazza nibbling on an almond biscotti, or licking that last drip of gelato off the spoon.

Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, citrus, almond, spices, etc. have all been in our bath, body & perfume lives for years, even decades, and you were totally unaware. Jergen’s classic scent is a light cherry-almond. Literally hundreds of perfumes use vanilla as a base note, for example; Coco, Allure, Shalimar & Angel. And the omnipresent citrus; lemon verbena, orange verbena, lime, grapefruit etc. You probably didn’t even think of these fruity-citrus scents as foods, did you? Well, think again.

Indulge your senses by giving one of these luscious dessert scents a try…they are meant to transport you, if just for moment, then the scrumptious scent will sink into your skin and remind you all day what a SWEET Diva you are!

Strawberry Di Chocolata is part of La Dolce Diva’s Dolce Divina Collection.

The ultimate in decadent treats, strawberries and chocolate combine for a full sensory experience: the fragrant smell, the vibrant red, the satiny chocolate, and then there’s that juicy first bite.

The scent of fresh strawberries dipped in a warm chocolate will sink into your skin and gently remind you throughout the day, where you started……with dessert!

The Dolce Divina Collection is also available in Almond Biscotti, Gelato & Tiramisu-su-su! It is a complete line of Bath & Body products such as Luxurious Shea Body Butter, Body Polish Créma, Body Wash, Body Lotion, Lip Balms, Travel Sets and more!
