Bagno Bliss is a pearly pink, creamy bath gel. It is smooth and similar in consistency to creamy body washes. It does not contain any grains, granules, salts or textures of any kind. It pours easily from the bottle and will run down skin. The product also does not leave skin, or surfaces, sticky or greasy feeling.

Bagno Bliss is part of Principessa Beauty's Isolina scent line. They describe it as "Isolina, or little Island, is an exquisitely sheer, subtle, sexy and delicately sophisticated scent with a touch of whimsy. Top notes include violet leaves & mimosa (orange flower), blended with middle notes of rose petals & neroli. Heliotrope & precious woods round out this ultra feminine elixir that is best described as pureness in a bottle. It's an alluring blend of feminine, fresh, floral notes with hints of a powdery finish".

To me, upon opening the bottle and while in use, Bagno Bliss smells of roses with an undertone of powder. I don't consider the powder scent similar to baby powder. It does, however, remind me of this pink, perfumed body powder my grandmother had from Avon. I found the powder scent to be rather subtle, with the roses being more dominate.

This is an external use only product; it is not meant to be tasted or ingested.

The product performed well as a bubble bath. I poured two capfuls into running water; because the product is thick, I did have to swish the cap under the water and use my finger to get all of it out of the cap. Bagno Bliss produced about 2-3 inches of bubbles which lasted 35 minutes. The water and bubbles that are produced by a lot of other bath products I have used usually don't hang onto the scent of the product; however, the water and bubbles actually remained scented like the product until I drained the water.

After bathing, my skin felt smooth and smelled softly of roses. However, the scent faded and didn't last after toweling off. The product left no residue on my skin or in my bathtub. Also, because I only used 2 capfuls per bath from the 18.5 fluid ounce bottle, the product should last through many uses.

Bagno Bliss comes in a black plastic bottle that holds 18.5 fluid ounces of product. There is a pink ribbon tied around the black, screw off lid. The front of the bottle has a pink label listing the product's name, size, and manufacturer. The back black label lists a brief paragraph about the product in English and French, the ingredient list, Principessa Beauty's website address, and a statement that the product is paraben and sulfate free.

The bottle is very discreet and would make a nice addition to a gift basket. It also does not leak and would be safe for travel, though you could always pour out a smaller amount of the product into a more travel-friendly bottle.

I absolutely love bath products and I absolutely love the smell of roses. Honestly, this product was a total win for me. It smells good, comes in a lovely bottle, produces awesomely scented water and bubbles, will last a long time... there's nothing I dislike about this product. Well, only the fact that I didn't try it sooner.
