Spruce Warming Bath Essence from Dr Hauschka: "Our Spruce Warming Bath Essence combines several nourishing essential oils in one formulation for the colder months. Warm your body from the inside out, breathe deeply, find inner peace and recharge your batteries.

From Lush, a Cinnamon Orange bath oil bar: "A cozy way to kick off your holidays, this spicy little number looks great hanging from the tree and works even better floating in the tub. Just break off as much as you’d like or hold it under the tap to release a well-deserved cinnamon and clove leaf relaxation session. As benzoin resinoid warms and eases your muscles, fair trade organic cocoa butter and fair trade shea butter soften your skin." $8.95.
A classic: Youth Dew Bath Oil. "In 1953, Estee Lauder introduced Youth-Dew, a scented bath oil that doubled as a perfume, and the world of fragrance was forever changed. Until then, women relied on the men in their lives to give them perfume as a special gift. But Youth-Dew was created for women to buy for themselves...and they did. Even today, its captivating, sexy romance ensures that this true classic remains a favorite. Pour out a few drops as you draw your bath for a relaxing treat, or simply wear it as a fragrance." $45 for 60 ml at Saks.
