Red Currant
Welcome to the Italian Beauty Customer Voice Program blog. We created the Customer Voice Program for you, our valued customers. Your feedback helps us tremendously as we create new fragrances or plan updates to your favorites. We love to hear what you have to say. We know you wanted to share how you feel about these exciting new fragrances and we know you want to read other customer’s comments as well. You told us you want to give us specific feedback that you just couldn’t give with the voting poll, so we created this blog exclusively for you, our Customer Voice customers.
We hope you are enjoying Red Currant. We picked this fragrance because Red Currant has the same vibrant red color of the beautiful fall foliage as well as a unique fragrance that is sweet and tart at the same time. We think this fragrance is juicy and delicious and we hope you think so too.

Another yuk. Smells like a common liquid children’s antibiotic or cough syrup. Couldn’t get past the nausea inducing fragrance to give this a true fair trial. Returned it the same day I rec’d because it triggered a migraine
The red currant is wonderful..I hope it is voted on favorably..It is very fresh and long lasting
The scent is great. I love the moisturizer.
The red currant is lovely. it’s a warm, inviting scent without being to heavy. It reminds me of the holidays for some reason. I would wear this throughout the fall and winter season.
I was so afraid this was going to smell like cherries and almonds. I was thrilled that it truly smells like the blossom of the cherry tree as opposed to the fruit. It’s fresh, light and yet soothing. I hope this one makes it!
I just love, love, love the red currant. I have been leaning more towords the fruit scents than the florals of late. I wish the scents were a little stronger though. They seem once you put them on you can only smell them for a short time. They still do a great job with softening your skin though. I hope you bring out a red currant kit soon.
I just received the Cherry Blossoms and it’s wonderful. It’s fresh and clean and I can’t stop smelling my hands. I think this is a winner. However, there is no place to vote.
no place to vote for Cherry Blossom I Love it clean smell I will buy this
Just received Cherry Blossoms. Would not buy it. Why is there not a place to vote? HSN has dropped in its value and customer service.
Where’s the place to vote for Cherry Blossoms. I love it and it’ll be a winner, I’m sure. Also, I’m crazy about Red Currant, it has become one of my favorite IBB scents.
cherry blossom is going to make it….
I just received the Cherry Blossoms-Oh My Goodness! It is delightful! It feels wonderful to the skin and the fragrance is soothing. I hope you make a BIG JAR of this cream-Yummmm!
Thanks Skip and Amanda
I like this fragrance. it is not too strong but has a lovely scent
I received it too late to vote but I enjoyed the Red Currant. I can now use it along with Lorenzo’s Red Currant for my dogs, car and house. The fragrances are very similar. I was able to get everything in the Pink Grapefruit fragrance too.
i could not smell the friut to much and the fregrance disapers veryfast.

I also did not receive Red Currant until 10/8/09, so I couldn’t vote either. I received a card saying it would be late, and I could cancel if I wanted to, but I waited to receive it. When it did arrive, I tried it right away. The literature said the deadline was September 30, way before I even received it! So, if I could have voted it would have been a vote against buying it again. I don’t think the lotion (body cream) was very creamy. Sorry, I didn’t like it.
RedCurrant-Would not buy again.It’s only ok.To me,RC has a tart note,& noted concord Grape smell.After LONG dry down-mellows to’berry’ type scent (red currant type?)with sharp note in it(wood,or pine?).ONLY TINY amount sweet,if any.Body wash not very moisturizing.Duo Lasting power:medium inIBB terms.IMO,simpler,VERY similar to original Vineyard Nectar mini.So,seems redundant.Cream is nice-but I DO NOT like glycerin based creams!Ergo-again,wouldnt buy.glad to see comments avail for CVoice.
I did not receive my Red Currant shipment in time to vote. It’s OK, and I liked it better than the last one I got. The fragrances lately have not been up to IBB standards. I love the pumpkin fragrance that came out last year. I guess I’m not as fond of the fruity fragrances. A lot of people have mentioned Blood Orange. If it was part of this program, I didn’t receive it.
I do not like the Red Currant scent at all. In the bottle it smelled better than it did when I tried it on my body. I have not been happy with all the fruit scents. I enjoy a lot of the Italian Beauty scents, but not this.
I did not receive mine until 10/9/09 so was unable to vote. I also wonder if I have received all the products sent out, seems to be problems with delivery lately? I am not crazy about the fragrance, to me it smells like concord grapes. I do like the texture of the cream though, it goes on so smooth and not greasy. Thank you for this program though, enjoy trying new things.
The Red Currant was ok, I prefer others more.
I did vote for Red Currant just in time. I also heard voting was extended! This one is a bit odd in scent. Kind of a candied cranberry and pine. A good holiday scent though personally I prefer the other recent LVMs, Vineyards Nectar and Blood Orange. The RC body cream formula is wonderful and the bath gel is a simpler fruit scent possibly good to mix with other fruits. I like RC but would rather see focus on additional products for the abovementioned Vineyards and Blood Orange than this one.
My items didn’t arrive till Mopnday Oct. 5. I was out of town Oct. 6 & 7, so I wasn’t able to use it enough to really test it. The body soap had a nice fragarance. The lotion is fine, fragrance very light. I received the notice and phone call about it being delayed. I expected the voting date to be pushed back I was told it was Oct. 7. Very surprised I didn’t receive it until the 5th.
Hello I am so sorry I missed the deadline to vote for the red currant, I had a death in the family. I would still like to give my input. The fragrance is beautiful. The shower gel is almost gone already, so that speaks for itself !! The lotion is so soft and creamy and the smell is very strong but nice !! It looks like pink whipped cream. Another terrific product.
Love this one, some of the last few, not so much. This is a keeper. make more products with this flavor please.
