Has anyone tried Belif's Body Bomba lotion? It has great reviews at Sephora, and the Ylang Ylang scent is tempting: "A rich, oil-based body lotion powered by the Asian miracle oil, ylang ylang, that helps hydrate dry, damaged skin and support natural blood circulation for smooth, glowing skin." $26 for 250 ml (and there is also a Citrus Verbena scent at Sephora, and a Rosemary scent that might not be in the US yet).
