Your childhood summers smelled like this soothing, spellbinding lotion, $11.95. The natural coffee scent is a day spent lounging at the pool in a gingham bikini, with an ice cream cone trickling down your arm. There's no other scent like it, and even though we can't be 11 years old again, this stuff is almost as good.
This $8 lotion is worth the price for the scent alone, which combines milk, honey, coconut and grape seed oils for a subtly sweet fragrance that doesn't overwhelm picky palates. The fragrance is 100 percent natural, and you can tell -- those prone to perfume-induced headaches agree that this lotion is a Holy Grail product.
This best-selling stuff, $13, is the olfactory embodiment of a Hawaiian vacay. Some coconut-scented body lotions are artificial and cloying, but The Body Shop's is delectably natural. It's true coconut: More fresh-off-the-palm-tree and less packaged piña colada mix.
Somehow, the best part of this classic body lotion, $24, is not the gorgeous, girly packaging. The scent has undergone an update since its debut, but the current bouquet of rose, violet, peony and dewy foliage is just as heady and alluring. Think: French garden party meets Sunday brunch.
Philosophy's much-loved Amazing Grace fragrance features clean, feminine notes of bergamot, muguet blossoms and musk. Put in body butter form, $33, the result is an addictive elixir that may or may not be responsible for keeping the "Bath & Body" section of Sephora in business.
