Lollia Dreamy Products.

Mother Lollia

By Georgia Bistolaridis

Ever thought of turning your modest bathroom into an exotic garden, fragrant and relaxing, a dream world in which to escape the harsh pressures of work, school, the kids? Perhaps you’ve been holding off on a much-deserved vacation or a sort of ethereal escape to fantasyland because you thought it was impossible? Well, as it turns out, the private haven of your bathroom can actually be transformed quite easily from the essential “washroom” to your own private mystery garden, even if it lasts for just a couple hours. The answer to this is provided by Margot Wells, creator of the Lollia collection, a vintage-inspired menagerie of “Little Luxuries” and beauty products that not only bring us for a moment into this fantasyland, but also help to improve our appearance and decrease the stress in our lives, with soft and flowery aromas. The sweet products that bring us to this long-awaited harmony come in a variety of hand creams, bubble baths, and luminary candles adorned with enchanting crystals, feathers and ribbons in various patterns; a bonus that also helps to provide us with charming gift ideas for our favorite friends.

Let’s begin with the invigorating scents that are magically contained in each of these products, Breathe (peony and white lily), Dream (milk and linden), and Relax (lavender and honey). Most of the available products in the Lollia collection give us a choice of any Lollia scent our nature or moods may demand; if you want to be revitalized you may choose the springy and refreshing aroma of Breathe, if you want to unwind from a stressful day at work (perhaps in heels you knew better than to wear) then choose the soothing Relax, and if you just want to escape entirely (remember fantasyland?) then choose Dream and forget about your troubles for the moment.

In a tube of Lollia Shea Butter Hand Crème we find the comfort much needed after surviving a rough winter. It provides nourishment to our dry, itchy skin and is available in each Lollia scent at an SRP of $20.00. For dry hands you can also choose Lollia Dream Cream, $25.00, encased in a petite, delicate glass container, exclusively in the Dream fragrance. It has a luscious combination of milk and soy ingredients, providing instant relief to that tight, stiff feeling our hands get once dehydrated. But before you apply any creams, delight in Lollia Bubble Bath, available in each Lollia scent, which creates an “immediate oasis for relaxation” at a price of $28, a bottle.

For the ultimate luxury, accompany your bath with some of Lollia’s fine perfumed luminaries, embossed with signature patterns and colors, and each providing 50 hours of candlelight at an SRP of $30.00. The Grande Fine Perfumed Luminary with a $52.00 SRP is available in each Lollia scent. You may also choose to light some Lollia Lavender Incense to soothe the senses at a price of $15.00, including 40 sticks and Lollia’s trademark incense holder.

After you’ve drenched yourself in the creams and bubble baths that Lollia provides, spray yourself with one of their feminine fragrances to last the day. Lollia Concrete Perfume, with sugar blossom, sugarcane, and sugar peach is a lovely and sweet bounce back to innocence at an SRP of $18.00 while Lollia eau de Perfume is encased in a feminine and elegantly silk-screened bottle that houses the delicious scents of lavender, peony and lily with notes of milk and honey. The eau de perfume is especially adorned with a crystal ornament at an SRP of $42.00 and is available exclusively in the Breathe fragrance.

Finally, your wardrobe and lingerie will not be forgotten, as Lollia provides scented wardrobe cards and linen perfumes to keep closets and wardrobes fresh and delicately fragranced in Dream and Relax and at an SRP of $32.00.

So put stress aside for a moment and relish in the spirit of femininity and luxury with Lollia products, but be sure to hang one of Lollia’s adorable door hangers outside your bathroom or bedroom to confirm the privacy of your realm. At an SRP of $8.00, these will help keep intruders as you let the harmony command.

Lollia is available at specialty stores nationwide including Henri Bendel in New York City.
