The Main Event Episode 62 K. Hall Nag Champa

Nag Champa by K. Hall has a very heavy, earthy, grungy scent. Nag Champa is the original incense fragrance, so when many people ask generically for "incense", they are looking for this scent. Nag Champa by K. Hall is available in a 100% vegetable wax candle that lasts 60 hours and burns very cleanly and fragrantly. The K. Hall Nag Champa diffuser comes complete with vase, 8oz of fragrance oil and absorbant reeds and lasts approximately 6 months. K. Hall also offers an 8oz refill bottle of fragrance oil.

Watch Traci Arnsten, Co-Founder of Voluspa, decorate the ultimate bachelorette pad for Jillian Harris with scents and style on E! News. Traci used room sprays to spritz on the throws to make them more personal. She also used candles from the Voluspa Seasons Collection to inject beauty and ambiance into her home. She used my favorite scent, Makassar Ebony and Peach, and one of the newest scents in the Seasons Collection, Panjore Lychee, for a juicy scent. The result is gorgeous and so chic!

The Main Event Episode 60 Tocca Summer Scents

Each summer Tocca used to launch a summer fragrance. They skipped this year, so we thought we'd give an overview of all the Tocca Summer scents.

Tahiti has a taire flower fragrance that comes across as a sweet floral. The coconut comes through as vanilla.

Portofino has a wintersweet scent that comes across as a light, feminine floral with a hint of lily.

Montauk has a fresh bamboo sea grass scent with a hint of mint for a light, summer scent.

Bali is a slightly sweet floral with hints of vanilla and gardenia.

Isabella has a fresh watermelon scent. Not too sweet, more like when you snap the rind of a watermelon and get that fresh, watery, slighly sweet scent.

Question of the Day: Where is your favorite summer escape?

The Main Event Episode 59 Archipelago Botanicals Signature Diffusers

We love the Signature series diffusers by Archipelago Botanicals. They are a great value at just $35 each for an 8oz diffuser that will provide several months of fragrance. These diffusers are available in all of the Signature Collection scents by Archipelago. Refills are also available for just $22 each. Some of the fragrances are stronger than others. Pineapple Ginger is a best seller for us and it's very fragrant.

Question of the Day: What exciting place did you visit last weekend?

Red Flower Lemon Coffee Blossom Olive Stone Scrub

Even though there are so many body scrubs available on the market, this one really stands out for me. Why? First: the scent. It smells like fresh brewed coffee. Odd, unusual, unexpecting and so refreshing. The fragrance is an instant eye opener and a fun reprieve from the everyday scrub scents. Second: it makes your legs look great! Sure, most scrubs will make your skin soft and smooth, but this is the only scrub I've tried that makes you legs look better. Can't beat that. The coffee in the scrub is a vasoconstrictor - tightening and shrinking blood vessels helping to reduce the appearance of varicose veins. If that isn't great enough, consider that coffee applied topically helps to redistribute fat cells and decrease the formation of cellulite. What more could a girl want? This is definitely a must have for any summer-time beauty bath.

The Main Event Episode 58 Infusion Organique

Infusion Organic sent us some samples to try and they are gorgeous! Infusion Organique uses sustainable and organic ingredients whenever possible in creating all of their products. Ron Chavers (the manufacturer for Apothia candles, Archipelago Botanicals candles, Kai and Pacifica candles) is one of the founders of Infusion Organic. The other two founders are French sisters - one blends the fragrances and the other does all the graphic design work. Together they formed a strong trio to create Infusion Organique.

There are currently three fragrances available: Budda's Fig (fig, lemongrass oil, rose geranium, wood and amber), Sands of Morocco (sandalwood, oakmoss, lemongrass oil and ylang-ylang) and Indochine (kumquat, peach, water lily, jasmine, muguet, vanilla, grapefruit extract, orange and ylang-ylang). All 3 fragrances are available in diffusers, candles, room sprays, eau de parfum, hand soap and lotion.

We conducted a burn test in the store and the candle burned! Clean, fragrant and even. Our customers raved about the scent throughout the day.

Hall bar soaps are available at http://www.candlesoffmain.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=137.
