& OTHER STORIES BATH & BODY CHRISTMAS COLLECTION

I think you know by now that I'm head over heels in love with the & Other Stories Bath & Body range. Not super expensive amazing quality products, that smell oh-so-good and come with super cute packaging. Yup, I'm up for that.


When I ran out of the ones I got from my trip to Milan, I was desperate, so you can imagine my excitement when I discovered that & Other Stories has opened a new store in Rome! I literally squealed when I passed by it and 6 seconds after I was at the till holding this super cute gift set.

The set is costumizable, but the one I got comes with a Body Sufflé and a Body Scrub and it's €21, which is just like buying the two products separately (12€ + 9€). You can also get a body lotion or a body wash if you fancy.

& Other Stories brought out two scents for Christmas time: Ginger Wishes and Secret Heaven.
I got Ginger Wishes in the form of a scrub as it's the one that smells the freshest. It's described as pink grapefruit, orange, ginger and clove buds so you can tell it's one for the zingy scents lovers. I wouldn't call it very fruity or very spicy, though. It smells a bit like ginger Christmas cookies but fresher. As always, as a body scrub it performs heavenly, but if you want to know more you can read my review here.

As my body soufflé (review here) I picked Secret Heaven and oh my God, I'm in love. It's very sweet, but there's a hint of wood in it as well. It's not your typical Christmas scent but it's perfect for cold December nights nonetheless. Described as a mix of peaches, coconut, peonies, lilacs, violets, vanilla, soft musk and sandalwood it's up with Punk Bouquet in my all time favorite fragrances. It's feminine, sweet, chic and lingers delicately on your skin. I'm so upset I can't do this scent justice with my words, just buy it really!

As always they come in a plastic box that has quite an apothecary feeling. This time though, they're decorated with golden and silver accents, just to keep everything a little bit more festive.

I think this gift set would make such a beautiful present as it looks and feels way more expensive than it is, and since & Other Stories as a bath & body brand it's still not very well known, it will also be the perfect time to get your pamper loving friend hooked!
