Mixing business with pleasure...whoever said that was a bad idea-think again!

I am running the final tests on a new product line, 100% Natural Scented Bath Crystals.

There are three different perfumes;

• Rain Forest, with notes of Honey Myrtle, Sweet Marjoram and Antique Patchouli.
• Garden of Eden with notes of Neroli, White Lavender and Atlas Cedarwood.
• Temple of Luxor with notes of Coriander, Ginger, Rose and Vanilla.

These are all about the experience of bathing in perfume. It is recommended that the mood is set in the bathroom before hand with candles and music. The bath temperature is important too. Have it just right before you add the Crystals. That way none of the precious perfume is wasted before you are ready to step in.

I want to tell you of my experience with the first in the line:

Rain Forest

I didn't have the luxury of having the music or the lighting but the perfume alone was enough to take me to another world. The honey myrtle top note had the effect of being uplifting and clearing at the same time. I could feel my lungs opening up and my head clearing as though I was breathing in the purest fresh air. The marjoram was deep green and alive and sits on top of the antique patchouli in the same way as the ferns sits on the damp forest floor. The antique patchouli is the best money can buy and it is mellow beyond belief. It was bathing in the perfume of pure life and when I closed my eyes I imagined I could hear the birds and the creatures of the rain forest chirping and chattering. The experience was purely magical.
Rain Forest is a pure celebration of life and being.

So who was it again who said that business and pleasure don't mix well? Because they were wrong. That bath was probably the most pleasurable business I have ever done.
