I am waiting impatiently for Lush's new Wash Behind Your Ears to arrive in the US. "You’ll want every inch of your body to smell as addictively fresh and familiar as this jasmine and rose gel - even your ears! So lavish your skin in a bouquet of floral fragrance and be uplifted by notes of neroli, while conditioning organic sunflower oil leaves skin feeling soft and sunny." It also has "fresh carrot infusion" and "gardenia extract". Currently listed as "coming soon" at Lush UK.
