Aromatic products to whisk you away

TROPICAL TONE

Sugar exfoliates, coconut milk soothes, and coconut oil hydrates and restores the skin, all while you bask in a sweet aroma reminiscent of a Caribbean retreat.

HERBIVORE Coconut Milk Body Polish, $47, sephora.ca.

SWEET SICILY

The comforting fruity scent of blood orange in the Pomelo Grove bath bomb from Bathorium makes us wonder if we’re soaking in the tub or floating in the Mediterranean sea.

BATHORIUM Pomelo Grove Bath Bomb, $12, bathorium.com.

ISLAND RETREAT

In the heart of the Indian Ocean lies an island by the name of Rodrigues, where abundant lemon crops have been maintained for centuries. Infused with the island’s green lemons, this fresh, citrusy perfume will take you to this far away destination with a single spritz.

ATELIER COLOGNE Lemon Island Cologne Absolue, $185, sephora.ca.

SPICE OF LIFE

Saffron, typically grown in Iran, India and Spain, is known for its incredible skin-soothing benefits, which is exactly why it’s the star ingredient in this rich, smooth and ultra-hydrating body cream. As you apply it, close your eyes and picture vast fields of beautiful purple blossoms as far as the eye can see.

SISLEY PARIS Velvet Nourishing Body Cream with Saffron Flowers, $195, sisley-paris.com.

MOUNTAIN VIEW

This super effective cleansing oil works wonders for dissolving stubborn makeup and ridding your skin of the day’s pollution. Infused with alpine herbs and lemon balm, you’ll be transported to the Alps every time you wash your face.

CLARINS Total Cleansing Oil, $38, clarins.ca.

AUSSIE RULES

When we think of Australia, we imagine lush beautiful vistas and gorgeously balmy weather—a climate that’s ripe for growing tons of fresh fruits and veggies. This product contains the extracts of pepperberry, riberry and emu apple, all berries native to Australia, to create a highly restorative, hydrating and anti-aging cream.

ALYA SKIN Australian Native Berries Moisturizer, $25, alyaskin.ca.
