For this month’s 5 Senses Set the Mood piece, I have decided to embrace the old adage about March’s weather, “It comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.” So for this month’s boudoir inspiration, get ready to embrace your fierce side and your gentle side all at once.
The Sense of Sight
Since we are embracing our fierceness this month, why not start as a little lion tamer? This first outfit is courtesy of Trashy.com Lingerie. This outfit is sure to keep your guy’s eyes strictly on you…or else! To increase your ferociousness, definitely add the riding crop accessory and the top hat, to make it known that you are the Queen of the bedroom.
To contrast, of course, this second outfit will definitely show off your calm and gentle side when you are looking for something less edgy and more soft. When trying to convey your soft side, you can never go wrong with white, soft pink accents, and lots of eyelet lace. Nothing is more feminine than Trashy.com‘s Lolita Collection, which this outfit is a part of.
The Sense of Smell
The sense of smell is very powerful and playing it up can definitely be helpful when you are trying to set any kind of mood. For this fierce/gentle combination this month, you may want to give your guy a little treat with the Fierce cologne from Abercrombie & Fitch. With it’s mix of citrus and musk scents, this is sure to meet the criteria for a fiery scent.
For yourself, you may want to try something soft and lightly fruit scented, such as Pearberry from Bath & Body Works. This is a delightful mix of pears and berries that will present a soft and sensual scent to complement your ultra-feminine look.
The Sense of Taste
Remember, setting the mood for a special evening with your significant other does not have to begin and end with the bedroom. You can very easily set the mood all day long for a special night. For this particular mood, begin with a steak dinner made at home for your loved one. This is something that the two of you can do together to work on setting the mood. Cooking together can be a very sensual experience, if you are open to it. So pop open a bottle of your favorite wine and get cooking!
For dessert, think of something like and airy, like meringues. These are easy to make and as light as air. These are even a little sweet goodness that you and your sweetie could feed to one another since they are bite size. Here is a recipe for “Meringue Smooches” on FoodNetwork.com. How romantic do those sound?
The Sense of Hearing
When you are searching for music that might enhance your mood, for this particular combination, you may want to start out with some of your favorite rock songs. Something that gets your blood pumping, something that brings out your inner fierceness.
On the softer side of this you may want to embrace your inner lamb and look for something more sensual and romantic. Something light and easy to listen to in the background. Here are a few ideas…

Here with Me by Dido
Only Time by Enya

The Sense of Touch
For the sense of touch you want something bold, maybe try one of these accessories if you are looking for something playful. Even if you have no intention of using it, your guy will likely be impressed (and a little intimidated) when you present it to him.
If that is too bold a statement, you can always find another way to bring fierce into the touch portion of your mood-setting. Leather sheets might bring just the right amount of a bold sensation to your boudoir.
Between the Sheets: The Home of Exotic Bedding
Of course, don’t neglect the more delicate side to this experience. Anything extra fluffy and comfortable will easily portray the gentle, soft lamb-like side of this equation. However, the Heavenly Bed by Westin definitely lives up to its name. This bed and bedding combine to create the most comfortable sleeping environment. It is truly cloud-like. You can purchase the bed and the bedding from Nordstrom.
Happy March to you all! As always, feel free to share your own ideas and inspirations here in the comments. I hope many of you have some fierce boudoir experiences, as well as a few sweet and delicate ones too.
