Is it time to summer-up your hand cream? A couple budget options from Bath & Body Works: Mango Mai Tai ("A tropical cocktail of mango nectar, sun-kissed grapefruit & sugarcane") and Waikiki Beach Coconut ("A warm, islandy blend of beach coconut, pink passionflower, saltwater breeze, fresh bamboo & sun-bleached woods"), $4 each.
I am sorry / not sorry that I've become attached to Marvis Karakum toothpaste, and I'll be extra sorry when they stop making it (I think it's a limited edition). I also really liked Buly's Opiat Dentaire Mint Coriander Cucumber, but the Marvis is expensive enough as it is. My next lemming is Botot Anis Citrus Réglisse, which at $13.50 for 75 ml is a little less than the Marvis. It is shown above center, along with cinnamon clove (left) and eucalyptus (right). At Smallflower.
Coming from Heretic, Dirty Grass, which perfumer Douglas Little says smells like "new mown hay", and features vetiver, lavender and hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD, and yes, you can absorb it transdermally). $75 for 15 ml Eau de Parfum. (via wwd)
