The rich almond & vanilla scent of this scrump­tious Ital­ian bis­cuit will sur­round you in a heav­enly cloud and then sink into your skin, remind­ing you through­out the day of what a sweet cookie you are!

Almond Bis­cotti is part of La Dolce Diva’s scrump­tious dessert scented bath & body col­lec­tion called Dolce Div­ina.

Our Lux­u­ri­ous Shea Body But­ter con­tains ultra~refined shea but­ter which has nat­u­rally sooth­ing, mois­tur­iz­ing and pro­tec­tive effects on your skin. Dense and creamy, it absorbs quickly and com­pletely into the skin with­out leav­ing a residue.

Why not have a Sweet Treat Spa Expe­ri­ence at home by start­ing with a gen­tle exfo­li­a­tion using our Almond Bis­cotti Body Pol­ish, lather up with Almond Bis­cotti Body Wash and then top it off with this Shea Body But­ter.…why not light an Almond Bis­cotti Can­dle while you’re at it? The best part…no calo­ries!

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!
