We’re starting off this year’s holiday gift series with scented body products of all kinds, and as always, do add any of your own recommendations in the comments! There are seven more posts to come.

My own favorite, just for the spiffy packaging: Cartier La Panthére Powder De Parfum Étincelante. “A shimmering La Panthére Perfume Powder leaving on the skin a velvety veil.

The daily lemming

My shower is sadly lacking in Le Labo, what's with that? If the shower fairy happens by, do have her drop off some shower gel (shown left and right, Fleur d'Oranger 27 and Bergamote 22, $52 for 237 ml) plus some Body Lotion (Ylang 49, $68 for 237 ml) and perhaps some Bath Oil (Lys 41, $68 for 120 ml). A bar soap (not shown, but I'll take the Neroli 36, $48 for 226g) would not go unloved either. All can be found at good old Saks Fifth Avenue.

Posted by on 13 Comments

Italian jasmine

Last autumn I wrote a review of two new beauty products from Aroma M, Camellia Hair Oil and Camellia Face Oil, which smelled as beautiful as they felt. Aroma M has just added another item to its beauty line, a Camellia Body/Bath Oil; now, in an ideal world, you could anoint and scent yourself from head to toe with these elixirs.

The Camellia Body/Bath Oil, like its two sister products, is crafted from thoughtfully selected, all-natural ingredients. Its base is a blend of camellia seed oil, grape seed oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E; its scent is a bouquet of essential oils of jasmine, neroli, geranium, Moroccan rose and frankincense. The scent of these combined oils (which are all beneficial to the skin) is similar to that of the Camellia Face Oil, with the addition of a bewitching rose note…
