Vétiver Extraordinaire shaving cream

I want this even more than the Iris Hand Cream: the new Vétiver Extraordinaire shaving cream from Frédéric Malle. "A razor blade glides through this thick and nourishing shaving cream with the precision of a great skier on the powdery slopes of Val d’Isère. Lightly scented with Vétiver Extraordinaire, it leaves one with the sensation of immaculate freshness. A revolution in its fragrance category, Vétiver Extraordinaire contains an unprecedented dose of 25% Haitian vetiver essence. Together with oak moss, oriental myrrh, pink pepper, bergamot and bitter orange, it leaves your skin feeling remarkably fresh." $80 for 100 ml, so it is not likely there will be any appearing in my shower. There is also an After Shave Balm, at $120 for 50 ml.

These could come in handy over the summer — Herban Essentials individually wrapped towelettes ("clean up / calm down") scented with natural essential oils. They come in lavender, lemon, orange, eucalyptus and peppermint, and in blends for yoga and pets. They're sold in packs of 7 ($7) or 20 ($16).

More stuff from the Lush Kitchen that I want — Lush, open a US Kitchen already! At left, Calacas Shower Gel ("A hallowed shower with reviving lime and uplifting neroli lathers will rouse your senses back into the mortal realm. Just one encounter will leave your spine tingling...and skin smelling like sweet jelly beans"). Top right, Brightside Solid Perfume ("A little bit of sunshine arrives on the breeze, in the form of bergamot, tangerine and mandarin. All you need is a little dab on wrists, behind ears and knees and you’re set to make the world smile with you"), plus, you can have Brightside in a Body Lotion, double plus, they have Flying Fox Solid Perfume at the moment, along with Grass and Sex Bomb. Bottom right, Uluru Shower Gel ("Take time to escape into the embrace of these Aussie sunset-painted, lemon lathers. Warming sandalwood blends with zesty Brazilian orange and lemon myrtle oils...Smother yourself in sunshine and let it transport you to Uluru at dusk.") Argh.

I did not even know scented (temporary) tattoos were a thing, but Tattly is suddenly in all the mags after Pinterest released their latest Trend Report for summer 2017. The "bouquet garni" set (above left) or the "perennials" set (above right) are $18 each for 8 tattoos, they last about 2-4 days each.
