Question:
I was using some Lush 'Tramp' shower gel this morning. Wow. Gorgeous green, earthy patchouli and oakmoss. (Surprising; Lush usually handles patchouli with a really heavy hand - I can't stand Karma, which really overdoes the elderly oranges note.) I got to thinking, while slathering on some NARS Body Glow monoi oil, which also smells fabulous - I wish there was a way I could smell like these lovely things all day. Which products do you think should be turned into perfumes?

Answer:
Heh - I saw that! I suppose the terrifying consumer research thing explains why the fabric softeners I buy *never* smell of what the label says. (Lily of the valley, violets, anyone? It's such a shame when you get the lid off, and just get a blast of...fabric softener smell.)
That said, I do sometimes wear room sprays...the Diptyque Gardenia room spray is just gorgeous, and the Durance Cedre is also lovely. I'm now extremely ashamed.

Answer:
Annick Goutal Creme Spledide Body Cream.

Answer:
Ooooh great topic! Mine is Crabtree and Evelyn Hand Therapy in Lavender. I know C&E have a Lavender perfume but it's nothing like the Hand Therapy - the hand cream version is powdery, light and clean, like a lavender crystal, without a hint of "grandmotherly" lavender. The Lavender perfume smells like, well, a grandma. They're completely different to my nose.
Also, nivea body moisturiser - the old formulation! Again, it's fresh and clean. Would love to wear the EDT (EDP might be a bit much!).
Edit: I just read the Chandler Burr article about the new Lavender Febreze and I think it articulates the difference I was trying to explain between the lavender I want and the lavender I most often smell - it's the difference between dead and dried, and vibrant and alive. I agree 100% with the article when it says now is a fantastic time for lavender - I can really feel the new incarnations of lavender having a huge resergence!

Answer:
I know one thing I like the smell of -- Ojon hair restorative. It's some kind of tropical nut(?) butter rendered in wooden containers. It's nutty, woody, smoky, and slightly burnt. Anybody else like it?

Answer:
Shower to Shower Body Powder - a very fresh fragrance that becomes ever so slightly spicy. I really love the scent.
Crabtree & Evelyn Jojoba Soaps - the ones shaped like seashells. They smell amazing to me. I want to crawl inside one.

Answer:
The Method brand soap in SweetWater. It is yummy!
