I posted my first Scent Hive review seven years ago, and am so thrilled to be back sharing my favorite all natural perfumes and green beauty finds with you all. As some of you know, I took a very extended break from blogging, and wasn’t sure if I would return. The time away from writing was much needed, as I have come back to Scent Hive with a renewed sense of delight and wonder, as well as an even stronger commitment to using all natural products for myself, my family and in my home. I still stand by what I say on my About page as I will never be a total purist and I believe firmly in balance rather than extremes. Having said that, I will always dig deep into ingredient lists, make conscious choices regarding my purchases, and inform you as to what I have learned and what I am loving.
As a thank you for either sticking out these past seven years with me (or for newly following Scent Hive) I have put together a fabulous beauty box giveaway, filled with perfume, makeup, skincare and body care. (Not to mention a delicious bar of chocolate from Woodblock Chocolate made here in Portland, OR!) Read on for entry details, the list of the goodies, and some photos.
To enter, simply follow me on Instagram, and leave a comment here with your Instagram handle and let me know what item from the box you are most excited about! You get an extra entry if you tag a friend over on Instagram (look for the picture of the box in my feed). Winner will be announced on Instagram on 2/15/16. International entries welcome. Drawing now closed. Congrats to @cleansthenewblack!

I’m 7 years late, but better late than never! Again, I’m so thankful to have discovered you on Instagram and love everything you stand for, especially the bit about not being a purist and believing in balance. Have a fabulous week! I love the sentiment of a giveaway, but as I already have enough, I hope this goes to another lucky person. Have a great day, Trish! Xx
Hi Clare! I am so glad we have connected as well and thanks for commenting! XOXO ~Trish
What a lovely box! Too bad I don’t have instagram… no real reason to when you have an ancient phone like mine. 😉
I’ll put you in the drawing LaDomna 😉
That’s extremely kind of you! I’ll make a point of following your instagram when I get a more modern phone! ❤
Oh, and the thingie in the box that has my heart palpitating the most is Aftelier Vanilla Smoke! 😀
Yessss! Vanilla Smoke is incredible, a very special perfume!
And thanks for the future follow 🙂
hmm Moroccan Beldi soap if I had to choose. It all looks sensually wonderful
It’s eucalyptus heaven Maura!
oh @NHMAURA
It would be great if you would include people who don’t use Instagram. Thank you.

Ooh that Kula lemongrass sage and oatmeal soap sounds like a dream!!!!
It smells so goooood!!! 🙂
I am so loving that Bliss balm!
IG @eshee3
It super pretty and is a sweet color of pink!
Already following on Insta 🙂 (@laura_buckman). I’m a new reader, but really enjoying your insights and resources. I too am a mostly-green-but-not-always beauty lover. I’ve just run out of my usual tinted lip balm (Hurraw “Black Cherry”) so I’d love to try the Living Nature balm.
The Living Nature balm is like a very hydrating sheer lipstick, it feels so good on the lips and gives just a hint of pretty pink!

I’m glad I’ve found your instagram and blog! I love finding natural or green beauty users. I haven’t heard of Kula Herbs before but after checking their site I’m impressed, so thanks for the introduction. This is a great set of products for a giveaway, I especially love the silk natural shadows 🙂
I’m glad you found me too 🙂
Not all of the Kula Herbs soaps are 100% natural, but the one in this box is, and it smells wonderful!
I follow you @rusthawk1.
Most excited about the Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask sample!
thanks!
It’s one of my faves!!
Oooh, what a fabulous giveaway! I don’t have Instagram, though. 😦 I love your site!
That’s ok! You’re entered. 😘
Yum! I’m @ateliervivat on Instagram
Excited about it all but as I’ve yet to sample Aftel’s VanillaSmoke that’s where my eyes got bigger. Thanks for coming back to blogging & glad you know when to take a break for yourself.
Thanks for the kind words! XOXO
Congratulations lovely lady on celebrating 7 years! Hoping that the next 7 years are as fruitful and delicious smelling!
Warm regards,
Holly
@hjsimpson76
That is really kind of you to say Holly, thank you! ❌⭕️❌⭕️
Already following you on Instragram and my handle is @lalunnaturals. Glad you’re back in the saddle; I haven’t forgotten, just S-L-O-W! Everything in your beauty box is so tempting, but I’m keen on trying Beldi soap or that tub of green stuff. Thank you for the draw!
Thanks, I’m glad to be back! That tub of green stuff is Persephenie’s Jade Camellia Balm and it is lovely!
Persephenie is such an inspiration!
I’m so excited to have found you! Your reviews are beautiful & whimsical. I feel like I can smell your words right through the computer! The entire giveaway box looks amazing, but I am most intrigued by Persephenie Jade Camellia Organic Body Balm sample. Although as a natural perfumer, the Aftelier Vanilla Smoke perfume is something I’ve been wanting to try forever. (Is it ok to be excited about everything in the box? Haha)
This is the loveliest giveaway, Trish. Thank you so much for what you do! I’ll be sure and spread the word amongst my scent-loving friends. 🙂

Hello there! 🙂 I just found out about your shop today on Instagram and you have gained a follower! My username is dulcetiridescence. 🙂
I have been searching high and low for more natural beauty products, especially more natural perfumes, which aren’t commonly available where I am from. I’m grateful to have chanced upon your shop on Instagram! 😍 The product I would be most thrilled to receive is the Vanilla Smoke perfume. I adore the scent of vanilla and I think it’s simply divine! 😊
I’m so glad you found my blog! I’m not a shop as I don’t sell anything, but I do reviews of natural perfumes and beauty products. Thanks for the follow and good luck in the giveaway!!
Hi Trish, and thanks for letting me enter the drawing this way, without Instagram. I love Tata Harper, so I would love to try the resurfacing mask. But I also would love a sample of Vanilla smoke. 🙂
Sure thing Elizabeth! And if you win, you get the whole box! 😍
