Moonalisa: Bohemian Velvet Soap and Bath Truffles


I belong to quite a few Facebook groups, but when one is a wax lover that is pretty much commonplace. But not all the groups I participate in are wax or even fragrance related. One of the groups I love to scroll through the most involves hand made metalsmithed artisan jewelry. It was in this particular group that I won a giveaway that included these Moonalisa products. 


Bohemian Velvet is one of my favorite Moona scents. It features sandalwood, patchouli and nag champa. A total hippy's delight. This scent is one of the come back kids for Moona's 20th Anniversary release. This 8.2 ounce behemoth smells incredible, moody incense and dried patchouli with nag champa as the strong base. The soaps run $8.95




Foaming Ice Cream Scoop Bath Truffles cost $4.25 each and come in these nicely packaged boxes.


Bali Cloud contains essential oils of sweet orange peel and ylang ylang, with sandalwood and vanilla fragrance oils. This one is still available for purchase on the site. The sweet orange peel figures prominently, it has a touch of Tang powder and tartness to it, with a slight woody vanilla  backdrop that almost has a cedar rather than sandalwood lean. I like it. 


Woodland Moss is comprised of cedarwood, sandalwood, patchouli and lavender. Gorgeous. Very realistic, herbal and slightly astringent, this is one that will awaken the senses. I used this whole truffle in the bath and it foamed and fizzed a thin layer on the water and provided a huge dose of moisturization. My skin was left with a buttery texture that felt amazing. I could have easily used half a truffle. In the water the lavender and cedar notes floated like fog around me. I would buy another in a heart beat.


Catch Moona's 20th Anniversary mega restock today at 11am! Bohemian Velvet and tons of other great oldies but goodies will be included as well as a Rock-a-billy, Sci-Fi, Let Them Eat Cake and various retro and classic scents. I personally will be gunning for some of Moonalisa's soy and beeswax tarts and maybe the Moon Drops perfume sampler.What Moonalisa products do you enjoy? Will you try to order?

Happy Memorial Day! I hope it is a beautiful and relaxing one! We will be at the beach soaking in some vitamin D and salt water.

  1. These products sound absolutely divine! Yet another etailer I've heard many great things about but never ordered from.

    I hope you have a lovely, relaxing holiday with your family at the beach!
    My lucky hubby actually got today off as a paid holiday! We're going to my brother's house to BBQ tri tip and chicken legs. Hubby is an excellent BBQ'er, he was up late last night tinkering with marinades and spice rubs. I'm looking forward to not cooking, haha! There will be swimming in the river as well. Got to stay cool since it will be 100°+' most of this week.

    1. Moonalisa is a very popular vendor for sure. If you get a chance and enjoy deeper darker scents you should give her a try.

      How exciting! Nothing beats paid days off. I hope the BBQ and swimming went well. The beach was nice. We just beat the afternoon storms. Keep cool!

  2. I am deciding on ordering again but am not sure I will since I am making progress on my stash. There is a RTS soap with tea tree, lavender, Rosemary and sage and I have a weird craving for tea tree.

    Were you tempted by any of the EDPs? Glad to hear you had a great weekend. <3

    1. I am tempted for sure. Field of Dreams, Salome's Secret, and a few more kept tempting me. But like you I was doing well on my stash. But who knows. I may still spring for a couple oils. The EDPs do sound good though.

    1. I bought a few oils from her recent restock so there will eventually be more to come :-) Her stuff is very pretty!
