STELLAAA!!!

Unavoidable movie reference aside, Tocca is a fragrance company that fuses old-world style and scent with modern day wearability. The collection boasts alluring fragrances for body and bedside alike. Candles, parfums, body polishes, creams and delicate fabric washes create a complete collection of scents exotic enough to lessen the blow of not taking that European vacation this summer.

The perfumers at Tocca have combined scents reminiscent of destinations around the globe to bring consumers a lavish line of fine fragrances. The parfums, a gift in themselves, are lovely in rounded glass vintage-esque bottles, packaged in ivory and gold boxes.

A hands down favorite of the BNLA camp is Stella – a flirty blend of blood orange, white freesia, wild diamond orchids and sandalwood. “Impetuous and moody as a rebellious young Italian beauty,” as described by Tocca, the recipe graces all of their formulations.

Another fancied fragrance was Cleopatra – an eau de parfum inspired by the Mediterranean seductress herself. A light grapefruit and lush greens blend into white jasmine and tuberose, leaving a rich dry warm patchouli, golden amber and rich vanilla musk.

Lastly, Tocca’s signature scent called Touch is a fruity-floral with notes of gardenia, pomegranate and Egyptian balsam. We liked it best in the candle formula. Claiming a 60-hour burn time, all Tocca candles come beautifully boxed in signature blue and white packaging.

For those who take the time to treat their delicates like their labels suggest, Tocca’s Laundry Delicate provides a gentle wash for fine fabrics. Ideal for lingerie, vintage linens and silks, it’s easy for hand-washables or delicate-cycle machine washes. Light and luxurious, it leaves your duds delicately scented in the sweet Tocca scent of your choosing… And for those who take the time to hand wash anything, we know you deserve it.
