Products That Smell Like a Tropical Vacay

Marooned at your desk all summer? Get into a vacation frame of mind with these blissful beauty products

Summer is finally here -- and instead of basking in the sun in some faraway tropical locale, you're marooned in your cubicle, listening to your coworker talk about her cats. To combat dreary summer weekdays spent at your desk (where the air conditioning is turned up so high you think you might be getting frostbite), try one of these tropical-inspired products. With scents of mango, coconut and island blossoms, they'll transport you on a mini-vacay far, far away from your computer screen.

If You Like Piña Coladas...
Get your cocktail on, sans calories. Escada Born in Paradise Eau de Toilette combines notes of pineapple and guava over the fresh scent of coconut, making for a sweet fragrance that was inspired by the most classic of tiki drinks: the piña colada. But this isn't your strip mall Chinese restaurant blended cocktail: this perfume is like the piña colada you would sip while lounging at a five-star hotel in Bora Bora -- refined but sweet.

A Scent Worthy of a Hula Girl
It was love at first sniff with LaLicious Sugar Tiare Flower Scrub. One whiff, and you'll be convinced that you're actually on the Big Island of Hawaii. And this all-natural, paraben-free scrub is more than just a pretty floral scent. Unlike other sugar scrubs that get messy, slippery and separated, this one stays in its whipped soufflé texture, giving the sugar granules ample time to exfoliate and moisturize your skin before melting away. You'll have smooth, beach-ready skin -- even if there's no beach in sight.

You'll Want to Bathe in This (No, Seriously)
What's not to love about Estee Lauder's jumbo-sized Bronze Goddess Body Splash? Because it's a lighter concentration of perfume, you can, as the name implies, splash it all over your body for a sheer, floral fragrance with notes of coconut and Tahitian gardenia petals that are balanced with warm notes of amber and sandalwood.

Warning: You're going to want to bathe in it at your desk (and we don't even think your coworkers would object).

Get That 'I Just Got Back from Saint Barts' Glow
With a touch of coconut and frangipani flowers, Mark Saint Barts Soleil Shimmering Body Lotion is a silky-smooth hydrator ready to transport you to the Caribbean. The skin-perfecting, luminous glow that comes with it makes it even more lust-worthy -- it has just the right amount of subtle shimmer to get your legs ready to wear all of your summer shorts and dresses.
