I've been watching Lush USA hoping for the appearance of Sonic Death Monkey, which was recently revived in the UK. No such luck, but they have dropped a bunch of Valentine's Day stuff plus a bunch of 200 ml body sprays ($30-$50), including old favorites like Flying Fox and Rose Jam. Shown are Coco Loco ("Mist on a little Coco Loco for a fresh breeze of palm trees, sandy beaches and total relaxation. Brazilian orange, coriander and lemongrass oils give lightness to the creamy coconut base of this perfume, evoking memories of your perfect tropical getaway.") and Yoga Bomb ("This rich, grounding fragrance will have you feeling at peace in no time. A balancing blend of sandalwood, ho wood and olibanum oils offer an earthy, cleansing vibe, while its sunshiney cassie absolute aroma awakens your senses.")

Another red bottle for Chinese New Year: CK One. "Unapologetically bold, iconic CK ONE reimagines its classic bottle to celebrate Chinese New Year. Adorned with a playful rat, the collector’s edition red and gold bottle commemorates the Year of the Rat while housing our signature fresh and youthful fragrance." £27 for 100 ml at World Duty Free.

From Guerlain for Chinese New Year: Rosa Rossa in red. "Rosa Rossa belongs to the Aqua Allegoria collection, the first collection in perfumery of intensely-fresh fragrances, created in 1999. [...] The guiding thread of the collection is bergamot, a precious citrus fruit that’s sometimes called "Calabrian green gold," and the key ingredient in the Guerlinade. Rosa Rossa is an eau de toilette which embodies the unexpected encounter between a delicate rose and a duo of lychee and blackcurrant notes." $132 CAD at Shoppers Drug Mart. (At Neiman Marcus, you can find a red bottle of Eau de Cologne Impériale, $105 for 100 ml.)
