The limited-edition Mother’s Day collection is officially available to shop now, and it comes in three spring-ready fragrances packaged in Vera Bradley’s signature patterned designs:
- Peach Blossom & Nectar: A new scent with notes of peach nectar, golden freesia, and sweet beechwood that’s uplifting, fresh, and fruity
- Blue Washed Sky: A fresh and cozy linen scent
- Pink Berry Burst: A sweet and playful fruity fragrance
All fragrances are available in both body care and home fragrance lines, including the bestselling 3-wick candles, hydrating body lotions and creams, hand soaps, $2 hand sanitizers, fragrance mists, and more. Our editors got an early sneak peek of the collection and tested out the exclusive new fragrance: Peach Blossom & Nectar.
“As the name suggests, the body wash and lotion smell like you're literally biting into the freshest peach,” says Brie Schwartz, Director of Editorial Commerce at Good Housekeeping. “Showering with it has made me forget (momentarily at least) about the last dregs of winter. Instead, for a brief moment, I'm transported to a picnic on a sunny spring day. While the moisturizer fragrance is quite strong initially, the scent is subtle after initial application, and it's nourishing.” She also said the moisturizer absorbed into her skin quickly, and didn’t leave an oily or greasy finish.
The collection also features Vera Bradley cosmetic bags that coordinate with each of the three fragrances. Use these pretty cosmetic bags to organize drawers, corral essentials in your tote, or pack for your next trip. There’s even a cute peach-covered hand sanitizer holder with a button closure that doubles as a bag charm.
We’ve covered several collabs in the past, and we already know that this one’s going to sell out fast. After all, they’re limited edition!
