Although our summer “unofficially” ended on Labor Day and “officially” ended on September 23 with the autumnal equinox, my corner of the world was warm and steamy until this morning, when temperatures abruptly dropped thirty (!) degrees and a cool drizzle began (and lasted all day). As much as I look forward to fall, I do enjoy using fragrances and scented body products that evoke some ideal summer day at the seashore. Here are a few recommended items that I’ve recently tried.
Zum Bar Goat’s Milk Soap in Sea Salt: Zum has been around so long, as a reliable standby in “health food stores” and the like, that sometimes I need to be reminded how much I like this brand…
Philosophy is always happy to indulge your sweet tooth. Vanilla Chocolate Crumble Shower Gel: "The holidays are about to get even sweeter! Let the intoxicating scent of oven-fresh vanilla chocolate crumble turn any shower into a spa-ahh with this multitasking must-have. Lather, cleanse and condition from head to toe in festive holiday style with this limited-edition scent. The fan-favorite, award-winning formula helps leave skin and hair soft and delicately scented in a most delicious way. The extra-rich and creamy formula is also gentle enough for every day." 480 ml for $18 at Macy's.
Another (!) lemming from Lush, who do seem to have my number, don't they? This is Bam! Shower Slime: "We’ve combined the fun of slime with everything you love about a shower gel and come up with a brand new innovation! Get your own back on long, weary days with this tropical blend of zingy lime oil and vibrant orange oil. It’s sure to leave your skin awake and refreshed! A splash of fresh lime juice cleans the skin beautifully and adds to that juicy, thirst quenching fragrance." Available in the UK, where you'll also find Brr!, the spearmint version.
Citron & Vetiver Body Wash from men's grooming brand Cremo: "A sophisticated, invigorating scent with fresh citrus notes and clean, woodsy undertones. Lightweight, concentrated formula delivers a rich lather that thoroughly moisturizes without that sticky, waxy feeling." $8.99 for 473 ml. Please comment if you have ever tried anything from Cremo!
