From Penhaligon's, Halfeti soap: "It’s said that love’s gifts cannot be given. Halfeti begs to differ. Fall for the heady scent of spiced rose, oud and amber with this scented bath soap – triple-milled for an exquisitely rich lather." £24 for 150g at Penhaligon's UK.
From Caswell Massey, the Master Collection Year Of Soap: "Our best-selling and most luxurious gift set, with 12 bars (one for each month) of our long-lasting, plant-based, triple-milled soaps. Cleansing, moisturizing, and beautifully fragranced, they are the ideal way to start your morning or unwind after a long day. This set lets you try our most iconic soaps: sweet Almond, fresh Lavender, citrusy Verbena, invigorating Cucumber, comforting Oatmeal, warm Sandalwood, marine-inspired Newport, dapper Tricorn, rugged Greenbriar, refined Number Six, sophisticated Jockey Club, and spicy Woodgrain Sandalwood. These bars will scent the air and lift your spirits as they treat your skin with a nourishing lather that rinses clean." $98.
Lush is getting ready for Valentine's Day, and among other items there's a new shower gel: I Can Resist Everything But Temptation. The long description ("Whether you love to share showers or go it alone, you'll want to get wild with this irresistible body wash. It starts with the perfect throuple: an infusion of cinnamon, red rose petals and ginseng, ingredients that are known for their aphrodisiac effects, and then kicks it into high gear with cinnamon leaf oil for an extra-spicy good time. So go ahead, lather up, enjoy the moment, and just try to resist this one") is tempting but ruined for me by the short description ("A sweet, sharp, apple-scented candle"). Maybe it's your lemming, maybe not.

At Glossier.
