Happy Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s is just around the corner, February 14th, so let me help you with your gift-giving needs. You can then celebrate this special and romantic day………or, enjoy an entire weekend……..since Valentine’s is on a Friday this year. Whether you have a date on Valentine’s, spending the night with friends or enjoying a much needed break from the world, take time to pamper yourself. When we take care of ourselves first, then we can love and take care of others so much easier.

All of the Valentine’s Day Ideas have been linked to my Vinci & Rakos website, however, please contact me if you need help, have special requests or want to place your order personally. Phone me at 760-674-3060 or 800-545-4332 or email me at dolores@vinci-rakos.com. And for my clients who still use a fax machine at 760-674-3070. With your purchase, you will receive a gift depending on the size of your order ranging from Parfum Vial Samples to a bottle of Parfum. As a special treat, a bag of classic conversation Heart Candies will also be included to help stir your childhood memories.

Wishing you a wonderful Valentine’s filled with lots of love and happiness.

Sincerely, Dolores

PS. I am featuring Valentine’s Inspired Fragrances that are client favorites, and they scentsually warm the body and mind. Review my choices in the “Parfum Sample Program for Your Valentine” section.

Vinci & Rakos Parfums * Solid Parfum

Valentine’s Idea: Choose your special Valentine a Vinci & Rakos fragrance from over 200 Parfums. There is a scent for every man and woman to help satisfy their desires.

The Vinci & Rakos Parfums are full-bodied, undiluted with no added alcohol or extenders. Choose from Parfums in three Traditional bottles, two Roll On Bottles, a Classic Stopper Bottle and in many, beautiful Limited Edition Stopper Bottles.


Valentine’s Idea: Solid Parfums are just perfect for a Valentine who prefers a lighter and less intense scent than a straight parfum, so wearing it in the office is very acceptable.

Solid Parfums are super easy to use by gently rubbing your fingers across the solid formula then smoothing on your pulse points, inside the wrists, behind the knees, back of the neck, behind the ears, the cleavage area and anywhere else you fancy.

Creamy Body Butter * Deep Tissue Cream

Valentine’s Idea: Prepare yourself for a special evening by smoothing either the Creamy Body Butter or Deep Tissue Cream all over your body for a scented treat, while at the same time moisturizing your skin.

Creamy Body Butter: This exceptionally rich and thick cream was created with vegetable butters, beneficial oils and botanical extracts. Leaves your skin nourished and silky smooth. Available in the hardy scent of your choice that mixes well with the natural aroma of the vegetables in the blend. Two Limited Edition, Valentine inspired scents are also featured. Experience the sweet and fruity scent of Fresh Strawberries. And, for the Chocolate lovers, a special fragrance blend of Chocolate Bouquet mixed with a touch of Chocolate Truffles called Truffles Bouquet has been created.

Deep Tissue Cream: A highly emollient and very luxurious cream that provides both glide and friction. Contains anti-inflammatory botanical extracts to help soothe the skin during treatment and application. Available in the comforting scent of your choice with Earth, Sheer Vanilla, Champagne, Pink Sugar and Sheer & Warm Vanilla Sugar client favorites.

Conditioning Body & Massage Oil

Valentine’s Idea: Why not give each other a back and body massage? Nothing says I care more than a pampering massage by someone you love on Valentine’s.

A client favorite for over 20 years for its ease of application, spreadability and penetration leaving your skin naturally conditioned, satiny smooth and sensually scented in the fragrance of your choice. The scents of Earth, Sheer Vanilla, Flame and Cashmere are client favorites.

If you prefer a lotion over an oil formula, experience my Moisturizing Body & Massage Lotion. The Lotion contains a high level of Vitamins E, D and A to help build the skin’s natural defenses and promote a healthy glow.
