Intoxicating, indulgent, opulent; all of those things describe the luxurious fragrance line of Sharon Bolton Scents. A Santa Barbara resident, Sharon Bolton captures the essence of grace and femininity along with the lush splendor of Santa Barbara's natural bounty. Discovering Truth, Luv and Soul is similar to experiencing the relaxed yet chic lifestyle the town is known for.

Truth: A refreshing, clean citrus. A tangy lemon-lime softened by an exotic floral and an airy, sheer musk...fresh like a warm sea breeze.

Luv: An intoxicating, ultimately feminine scent of rare pink gardenia, lush Hawaiian white flowers, and a hint of creamy vanilla with a delicate whisper of white musk.

Soul: Sweet tropical notes that will evoke a memory for your soul. Juicy papaya, luscious pineapple, and creamy coconut with undertones of clean musk.

I had the opportunity to ask Sharon what her mission was when launching her company:

You'll be surprised to hear that we actually don't offer just scents, we offer a luxurious sensory experience and a tropical getaway. Scents evoke such things as to bring us to another place or transport us to another time. I can't tell you how often I hear from customers that one of our scents reminds them of their wedding, or the beach, or a favorite childhood scent...the list goes on and on. I also wanted women to wear the scents, not the scents wear them. Light, clean, fresh is what we strive for. We kept the component of alcohol out of the perfume oils for those with sensitivities, like myself! The luxurious bath and body products offer indulgence in the sensory experience of Sharon Bolton Scents. They are rich and creamy and the shower cream creates loads of bubbles. We chose Soy candles with cotton wicks for the environmental factor. Our products are cruelty free and packaging is 100% recyclable. We truly kept in mind the customer's experience, which we wanted to be a luxurious, indulgent and evocative one. And lastly, we wanted to keep part of our mission to give back to our community and to causes that are important to us.

Where does the inspiration for your scents come from?

The scents are reminiscent of our breezy seaside town of Santa Barbara as each season presents different floral aromas in the air. Also, Hawaii is a huge inspiration. The air always smells like a burst of Plumeria and the Papayas plucked off the vine smell heavenly! Hawaii was definitely the inspiration behind Soul (think a day at the beach in Maui) and Luv (reminds me of wearing a big, bountiful floral lei) and Truth's inspiration was more Santa Barbara. I'd say having a margarita while the Santa Ana's come whistling through bringing night blooming jasmine alive. And our most recent addition Dream...I just knew I'd want to be wrapped in cashmere in the Santa Barbara winter and that is what this scent reminds me of...it's Dreamy! Throughout my travels and experiences I am always noting the smell of fruit, flowers, soaps, the air, food...you name it!

Sharon Bolton's newest scent, Dream, is launching on November 15th only at The Powder Room on Bustleton Avenue in Philadelphia. It can be described as a heady concoction of bergamot, white freesia, mimosa with accords of amber, sandalwood and exotic musk.
