From Vacation (I still haven't smelled the sunscreen), After Sun Gel: "The Vacation After Sun Gel is a modern take on the after-sun gels you grew up with. It's alcohol-free, features an ARQUISTE designed fragrance, and has a non-sticky, watery feel that quenches, cools, and soothes sunburned skin. It's formulated with a calming blend of aloe vera, cucumber, and bisabolol, replenishing and moisture-regulating Vitamins E and B3, and hydrating glycerin and prickly pear." $12 for 177 ml at Anthropologie.

From Neom's Scent-to-Destress range, the Intensive Skin Treatment Candle (basically, you light it, melt the top layer, let it cool and use it as a body oil): "Say hello to our newly blended hero, our Intensive Skin Treatment Candle, now with ADDED baobab and jojoba oil. The magic four (rapeseed oil, soybean oil, sweet almond oil, cocoa seed butter) has been expertly re-whipped up by master crafters in the UK to be EVEN MORE intensely nourishing and is now the magic six! We've added baobab from Africa (containing vitamin C, A, D, E and F and essential fatty acids), and jojoba oil (a soothing wonder for dry skin)....100% natural fragrances and blended with seriously nourishing oils of English lavender, jasmine & Brazilian rosewood, plus 21 other essential oils"; $47 for 140g, and also available in a Scent-to-Sleep version.

A lemming for fans of the dearly departed Rodin Olio Lusso line (with props to whomever mentioned this in the comments the other day): a limited edition Jo Malone + Rodin series, which apparently launched last summer. At the US Jo Malone site, you can currently find the Jasmine & Neroli Luxury Body Oil ("Envelop skin with this sumptuous body oil. Massage in to enjoy an uplifting, sensorial experience. Enriched with evening primrose and sweet almond oils that nurture, it smooths on to leave skin feeling velvety soft. Infused with an exquisite scent to inspire the senses and help cultivate feelings of calm"; $136 for 109 ml), plus Jasmine & Neroli Luxury Face Oil ($96 for 13 ml), Jasmine & Neroli Luxury Oil Gel Cleanser ($70 for 180 ml), Jasmine & Neroli Luxury Hand & Body Cream ($88 for 100 ml) and Luxury Face Cream (not shown; $95 for 50 ml).
