Every fragrance addict owns a few scented products that she (or he) privately opens just to sniff, even when she’s not using them; they may be actual perfumes, lotions or soaps, or even hair products. My latest confession in this area is my strange need to unscrew my jar of Kusco-Murphy Bedroom Hair and inhale its fragrance every time I spot the jar sitting on the bathroom counter.
Bedroom Hair is certainly attractive enough to leave out in plain view, unlike the squeezed-out tubes and brightly colored plastic bottles that are concealed under my sink. Its label design is a little bit romantic and little bit rock-and-roll, with gold, monogram-like letters scrolling across a purple background. The product inside is similarly enticing, a shimmering golden gel…


With its string of playful names and its retro-preppy packaging, Body Moose Honey Harmony Gator Hydrator would be easy to dismiss as a merely “fun” treat for the body. However, as soon as I actually smelled and touched this product, I forgot all about alligators and bumblebees and pink-and-green polka dots, and I realized that it’s actually a serious and sensual moisturizer for the body.
