Garden Alchemy-Wild Angelica Body Soufflé Highly Recommended by the Beautiful People of Whom You Know

If you are searching for a great smelling, moisturizing body lotion, Thyme's Garden Alchemy-Wild Angelica Body Soufflé is for you! This body soufflé is the perfect thing for your skin after a bath or shower. Enriched with Shea butter, Vitamin E and velvet flower extract, it is sure to lock moisture into your skin all day long! It doesn't leave residue on your skin either, which is uncommon for thicker moisturizers! It smells so wonderful too! It is light, yet fragrant of magnolia blossoms and wild angelica. The clean, fresh fragrance lasts on my skin for hours! I've gotten compliments from my friends on the scent of it. The jar should last you awhile as well  because a little bit goes a long way! I can't wait to try more of Thymes great products! 

Wild Angelica Body Soufflé. Doesn't that just sound like a wonderful product? Happily, this moisturizer more than lives up to its name. Created by Thymes, it feels as light as air going on your skin - just as a soufflé should be! It contains Vitamin E, glycerin, velvet flower, mild thistle, and sheabutter, so it is extremely moisturizing, but doesn't feel too thick or heavy going on. Instead, it glides on like a dream and is absorbed quickly - leaving no greasy residue, just touchably soft, hydrated skin. And that's not to mention the fragrance! The wild angelica is combined with green ivy, red magnolia buds, violet petals, and galbanum to create an aroma that is reminiscent of walking through a winding garden path on a warm summer day. It's intriguing, enticing, and extremely addictive. After I put it on for the first time, I found myself sneaking sniffs of my arm just to breathe in more of the heavenly scent. It's a little bit of luxury, served up in easy-to-apply form!

One of my favorite things has to be body souffle, but it has to be high quality body souffle. When I opened the Wild Angelica Body Souffle, I knew I would love it. Its lightly aromatic fragrance wasn't overpowering. The souffle absorbed quickly and didn't leave a greasy residue behind. With other body souffle's I've tried, I always have to use more to help my skin feel hydrated or I have to use the lotion I typically use when I am on the go. Not with this souffle. It kept my skin feeling hydrated long after using it. I was also surprised by how little I needed to use. I don't typically purchase these products for myself, but I know this is one I will continue to purchase for myself. I also plan on purchasing some as gifts as well! 

Thymes Garden Alchemy - Wild Angelica Body Soufflé smells simply amazing. This crisp clean sent is delicious! I love that its a nice light body cream that doesn't weight you down. It goes on smooth and leaves your skin feeling perfect. It is such a rich product. You really don't need to use that much of it. A little really does go a long way. Oh and that amazing scent - it's just perfect! It's nice and light also, you can wear it as perfume. The sweet fragrance lasts all day just like the hydration of the cream.

WHAT IT IS: An eclectic, giftable collection of bath, body and home fragrances available in three unique, captivating scents. Perfumery meets botany to create a lush, intoxicating sensory experience in Thymes’ latest collection, Garden Alchemy. Prepare to be whisked away to a dreamy, blossoming locale through the fragrant offerings of Garden Alchemy, which combines the ethereal quality of an enchanted garden with the mystery and intrigue of ancient chemistry by distilling natural oils and extracts to their most authentic, inspired essence. Available in three handcrafted, hypnotic fragrances – Rosemary Sage, Wild Angelica and Lemon Geranium – every product in the collection is housed in delicate packaging that conveys the essence of Garden Alchemy, featuring exquisite watercolor illustrations of feminine figures situated in garden settings.

Rosemary Sage: Freshly snipped hawthorn leaves are muddled with purple clary sage petals and cool rosemary sprigs, then layered on a tonic bed of birchwood, cedar and crystal amber to create this rich herbal fragrance. Willow Herb extract soothes, while Calendula extract heals and moisturizes, enveloping you in a relaxing aroma. Encased in enchanting green bottles that showcase a female character entwined in flowers and ivy tendrils, Rosemary Sage transports you to a mystical, magical secret garden.

Wild Angelica: Tangled ivy mingles with red magnolia buds, wild angelica, galbanum and dusky violet petals to exude a multi-layered green floral fragrance. Formulated with antioxidant-rich Milk Thistle extract that protects and calms, and Velvet Flower extract that hydrates, this luxe scent is housed in packaging bathed in a romantic blend of pink, red and purple, depicting a svelte female figure standing amidst the flowers.

Lemon Geranium: A sweet citrus fragrance, Lemon Geranium brings together succulent dewy muguet, fresh honeysuckle, crushed lemon geranium leaves and green armoise, steeped in an earthen base of tree moss and honeyed Tonka bean. Experience the rejuvenating powers of this lively aroma, which is infused with refreshing Lemon Balm and moisturizing Watercress extract. The soft yellow bottles show a woman in a billowing dress, set against a verdant backdrop.

EXPERIENCE FRAGRANT ENCHANTMENT 

WITH THE NEW GARDEN ALCHEMY COLLECTION FROM THYMES



Established over 25 years ago, Thymes began as a small line of bath products born out of the founders’ shared passion for art and nature. Founded by two women at home in Minneapolis, the brand continues to be woman-owned and run, maintaining a small brand mentality despite substantial growth. Grounded in botanical tradition, Thymes creates sophisticated, contemporary blends at the brand’s own in-house R&D lab, developing fragrances to complement and enrich the lives of women. 

Every Thymes scent is developed and tested with an eye to enhancing daily experiences, giving women access to scents that infuse the every day with meaning. With botanically based scents housed in beautiful, evocative packages, Thymes incorporates fragrance into life’s enjoyments and pleasures, making scent an integral aspect of every experience. 

From the recyclable packaging to the unique formulas, Thymes is committed to providing artfully crafted products that are not only efficacious, but also environmentally friendly: An impressive 90% of all materials are sourced domestically. The majority of the brand’s vendors are within a 100 mile radius of Thymes’ headquarters, meaning shorter distances for cargo trucks to travel, reduced petroleum-fuel consumption, and ultimate less greenhouse gas production. Modest initiatives like these help improve the quality of Thymes products and demonstrate the brand’s commitment to customers—and the planet.

Today, Thymes is the leading fragrance brand in specialty stores across the nation and continues to expand to new markets, including the United Kingdom. With over 15 collections, Thymes constantly develops new and inspiring fragrances in response to requests from the brand’s loyal customers. From conception to packaging, every scent and collection is created with customers in mind. Each new fragrance is tested by Thymes’ most loyal fans before it hits shelves. The Thymes collection is comprised of bath and body products, home fragrances and home essentials like all-purpose cleaner—effortlessly integrating the scents, textures and experiences of the brand into every aspect of day-to-day living. 

As Thymes continues to expand, the brand’s mission remains the same: Create beautifully fragranced, complex products with the finest possible ingredients to enrich the mind, body, and soul.
