For fans of Weleda Skin Food (and, presumably, the smell of Weleda Skin Food, although they do not say if it is the same fragrance), the new Skin Food Ultra-Light Dry Oil: "Our unique bi-phase formula combines vitamin-rich oils with extracts of pansy, chamomile, and calendula for glowing skin and intensive moisture. The ultra-lightweight mist dries instantly for a dry to the touch finish." $20 for 100 ml at Weleda.
The product smells citrusy and, vaguely, of vanilla and bell pepper. “I imagine that people who love Campari, Ricola cough drops and the fragrance Bistro Waters, by the perfumer D.S. & Durga, tend to gravitate toward its scent,” said Porochista Khakpour, a writer in Los Angeles. Ms. Khakpour, 44, first discovered Skin Food more than a decade ago, in Berlin. “It’s deservedly iconic,” she added. “If someone is carrying it, I think they’re in the know.”

Quick reviews of three scented body products I’ve enjoyed using this summer, and do add your own recent favorites in the comments!
Tauer Perfumes introduced Rose Delight Body Oil early this summer, and I was sent a bottle for review. Normally when I am sent a full bottle of something, I try it, then give it away, but I’ve used so much of this particular bottle that at this point I might as well keep it, so I will.1 It’s essentially jojoba oil (90%) scented with rose. Tauer describes it as “rose petals on a gourmand base”, and it is lightly sweet…
