Dolce Mia Fragrances

Fragrances

For Bar Soaps and Liquid Soaps

The following are descriptions of the custom fragrance blends used in Dolce Mia’s new Fine Soaps of Sonoma County line. Our fragrance blends were developed exclusively for Dolce Mia to coordinate with and enhance the thematic elements of our soaps. In the vast market of over-perfumed, artificial and predictable smelling soaps, ours stands apart with fragrances that are rich, deep without being overpowering, and unique.

Mango Tangerine

This fruity and refreshing scent could stir up an appetite. It’s the kind of delicious aroma that merits a warning like those found on surfboard Wax: “Do not eat/chew”. The pure, fragrant mango and tangerine are perfectly balanced—full of complex flavor with a tangerine high note and just sweet enough.

Color: mellow sunset

Styles: Surfer Boy, Surfer Girl

Tropical Citrus

A rich undercurrent defines this luscious scent of fruit and flowers. Citrus high notes emphasize freshness, with a hint of coconut to ground our scent in the tropics. It’s a fresh take on the suntan smells we remember.

Color: leaf

Styles: Vintage Hawaiian, Hula Couple

Vintage Floral Tuberose

This scent is a fresh twist on tradition, starting with a classic floral blend plus a heady addition of tuberose. A soft, sensual yet subtle floral, this scent is sweetly seductive, reminding us of the attraction of the flower.

Color: petal pink

Styles: Golden Girl, Red Hot, Starlet


Pikake

The native Hawaiian Pikake flower is used in the traditional Hawaiian lei and is known throughout the world as “Hawaiian night blooming jasmine”. Fresh and uplifting, its smell will stimulate memories of a tropical evening breeze. Lush, sweet, and a bit exotic.

Color: Pikake white

Styles: Hula Girl

Leathery Western

This clean outdoorsy scent emanates elements of freshly chopped wood, new leather and lemon verbena. Calming, bold and inspiring, it speaks to those who love a fresh clean confident cleanse.

Color: light saddle

Styles: Western

Vanilla

Simply the most perfect vanilla scent around for the body. Creamy, with a wisp of sweetness, this scent is rich and versatile. A delectable fragrance the whole family will enjoy.

Color: cream

Styles: Horsey Girl

Sweet Almond

This scent is pure almond with a hint of sweetness. The plush almond aroma is smooth and bright with currant high notes – appealing and fulfilling for all ages.

Color: light Almond

Styles: Howdy, Horsin’ Around

Ambery Lavender

An exquisitely balanced combination of flower and mineral, our ambery lavender scent is loaded with both vitalizing and calming aromatic qualities. Loved by lavender purists, this scent also has universal appeal, with its added depth of rich amber notes.

Color: sunrise pink

Styles: Sittin’ Cowgirl, Shootin’ Cowgirl
