If there is traffic on the turnpike today, I will be lemming this badly: Happy Uplifting Balm from Spa Ceylon. "If you've been feeling down in the dumps and are looking for some all-natural soothing, boost your mood with this fast-acting balm. It refreshes and invigorates the senses, promotes vibrant positive energy, and gently lightens your mood." With orange, lemon, rosemary, spearmint; $10 for 10 ml at Smallflower.
Seduced — almost — once again by the combination of cute old-school packaging and a reasonable price. Panier Des Sens Rose Geranium Eau de Toilette: "Heady and tangy, the leaf of the Mediterranean flower joyfully expresses light and luminous top notes. Geranium absolute harmonizes with the delicate freshness of notes of rose and peony, sublimated on a background of enticing and bewitching hints of white musk. An intense powdery floral sillage married to the green facet of geranium." $35 for 50 ml, also available in Orange Blossom and Precious Jasmine, at Beautyhabit. There is also a Rose Geranium travel set at the Panier des Sens website, with 50 ml each of Shower gel and Body lotion, plus a 30 ml Hand cream and a 3.5 ml sample of the Eau de Toilette, in a travel pouch decorated much like the canister shown above, on mark down for $16.10.
I don't love the scent and I don't love the bottle, but if you've got an extra €2000 lying around and you love Miss Dior, here's the 2019 Love Edition, with embroidery on a gray satin ribbon inspired by designer Maria Grazia Chiuri's dresses. 47 bottles were made.
If you are about to buy a new bottle from Comptoir Sud Pacifique anyway, you might as well get a Turkish beach towel with it! "Stay vacation ready with this exclusive offer from Comptoir Sud Pacific. Each set comes with your choice of your favorite Comptoir Sud Pacific 100ml EDT wrapped in a 100% cotton turquoise peshtemal towel." Available at Luckyscent in Vanille Abricot, Vanille Banane, Vanille Blackberry, Vanille Coco or Vanille Extreme, $85 each.
