Review + Giveaway: New Love's Rainforest Body Mist

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ENTER. THANKS!

When my last giveaway ended, I mentioned that I'd be hosting another one very soon for a "fragrance company we all know and love". Today I'm happy to let you know that the sponsor of this giveaway is Dana Classics (makers of Love's Baby Soft, Sugar Kiss, Tabu, Chantilly and so many other classic women's and men's fragrances)!

So before I get to the giveaway, I want to give you a mini-review of the actual prize (THREE lucky winners will each receive this prize!):
Love's Rainforest Body Mist (retail: $11.50, 1.5 oz)

A little while ago, I posted pics of the display for Love's Rainforest when I first spotted it at my local CVS, and then I was lucky enough to receive a bottle for review and I've been loving it ever since. When I first tried the tester at the drugstore, I thought it was a fresh, aquatic type of fragrance. But now that I've been wearing it for a while, I've come to realize that what I love the most about Love's Rainforest is the dry-down. Even though it's got a burst of aquatic notes to it at first, it eventually dries down to a soft, powdery fragrance that still manages to stay fresh and clean. It's difficult for me to describe, but I am LOVING it because, even though it's different than other fragrances in the Love's family (waaaay different than the super-popular Sugar Kiss) it's still got that signature "Love's" powdery note to it that is one of my favorite things about this family of fragrances. So it's new, yet familiar at the same time.

Another nice thing about this fragrance (from the Love's Rainforest website):

All of the packaging including the bottles and caps are manufactured using recycled materials. In addition, a portion of the proceeds from the sales of the Rainforest items will be donated to rainforest preservation.

And before I forget, in case you don't want to wait and you want this fragrance now, there is a $1 coupon (printable and also an online code) available here.

But if you'd like the chance to snag a bottle for free, here ya go!

Three lucky winners will each receive one (1) bottle of Love's Rainforest Body Mist (1.5 oz). The retail value of each prize package is $11.50.

Please read all of the following rules before entering:

1) To enter, leave a comment on this post and answer the following question: What is your favorite fragrance on the Dana Classics website? You must leave your email address in your comment. If you do not leave your email address in your comment, your entry will not be counted.

2) You may enter ONCE DAILY and, each time you enter, you may answer the question however you like (you can repeat the answer you gave me the first time, or you can tell me about other Dana Classics fragrances you love).

3) Giveaway open to US residents only, 18 and over. Void where prohibited.

4) This giveaway begins today, August 12th, and will end Monday, August 16th, 2010 at 11:59PM Pacific. I will select THREE WINNERS via random.org's random number generator and notify the winners on Tuesday, August 17th. The winners will then have 24 hours to respond. If a winner does not reply within 24 hours, he or she will forfeit the prize and another winner will be selected. I will also announce the winner here on this blog, so if you do not receive my email , you can see if you have won by visiting my site on August 17th.

  1. I like the Love's Berry Sweet scent - it's reminiscant of Love's from when I was younger, but I like the burst of berry smell for summer, it's lovely!

  2. I like this scent a lot, it's really fresh. It reminds me of BABW Dancing Waters, but better. So I'd have to say that's my favorite!

  7. I'd have to say Love's Baby Soft. I think I got my first bottle in elementary school and I still find it to be one of my most relaxing perfumes, so I wear it around the house a lot.

  8. OMG! I want them (have written to them) to bring back Eau De (or is it D' ) Love. I would buy a case immediately. I wrote Vermont Country Store and made a suggestion for Love's fragrances, they do sell them now,online too! Alas, not the one I've begged for. Darn.
    Can't wait to try this new one..new to me anyway.
    Thank You!

  9. I like Love's Baby Soft because it was the first perfume that I ever wore. I also eventually got two others which I can't remember. One had an orange cap. They probably don't make it anymore.

  12. As for me, my favorite Dana Classic would have to be Chantilly. I can't wear it myself, but my grandma did and it always reminds me of her. I'd love to have a bottle of the rainforest, though, for my daughter, who is named after my grandmother. She's just getting to an age where she wants to wear things like fragrances and Love's fragrances are always appropriate for younger girls. slhibbard@gmail.com

  17. I want them all, I think it is best to have different sprays for the different seasons. You boby chemistry changes day by day, season by season. So you want to change it up about every three days.

  29. If it was the original formula my answer would be Heaven Sent, but since Dana changed it, my answer is the Love's line of fragrances. I have five of them, including Love's Baby Soft, of course! I also have White Vanilla, Fresh Lemon, Rain (not Rain Forest), and my absolute favorite Soft Jasmin. I have two bottles of that one, one in my bathroom and one in my bedroom.

    I hate Tabu. I don't mean that I don't like the smell, I mean that it makes me gag, and if it's slathered on heavily on a nearby woman I will vomit. I'm not exaggerating. BUT...strangely, every guy I've ever known likes it or LOVES it. So if you can stand the smell yourself, and want to attract the boys/men, try that one.

  30. I'd have to go with Love's Rain Forest since this is only fragrance that I have smelled and liked by them.

  31. This is Mrs. Jeff! I am 48 years old now, and I have been using Love's Baby Soft since I was 13! A classmate brought some to schoool one day and I tried it and I have never found a fragrance I loved as much as this one! My husband loves this fragrance too - we have been married 27 years and he always knows what to buy me for CHRISTmas and all the other holidays and for special occasios, and because he is such a sweety, just because! I would like to try this new fragrance since it is made by DANA Fragrances, I think it would be great!

  40. I was reading up on the Rainforest. I really wish more companies would make the choices that Love's has here. I'm totally going to be looking for it now. Unfortunately, it looks like it may end up exclusive to CVS, which is SAD, because there aren't any in my area - Walgreen's has the market sewn up!

  54. I'm so excited to say that is actually raining today! We've had a terrible drought lately and the garden is suffering. Our area is really starting to feel the effects of global warming. Time to get a little green - like the packaging for Love's Rainforest! (how's my ad campaign going?)
