My Top Three Scented Lotions

I found the lotion above (Pacifica Mediterranean Fig) at a small boutique in Jackson Hole, Wyoming last summer. It smells soooooo good. I can't get over it still. It is one of the lovelier lotions I've found that is paraben free and affordable (only $17 on amazon). I have never heard of this brand, Pacifica, before so while perusing Amazon I saw that they also have scents in Malibu Lemon, Mexican Cocoa, Tahitian Gardenia, Hawaiian Ruby Guava - the names alone sound amazing. I hope they smell just as wonderful as the Mediterranean Fig. It is delicious!

Ohhh Jo Malone. How I love you so. My mother-in-law gave all the daughters (and DIL) a jar of Jo Malone Orange Blossom for Christmas one year. I have never smelled anything so wonderful before in a jar. Seriously. It's my favorite one out of all of her scents  - and the only one that I would splurge the $$ on. Yes, it's a definite splurge. I spotted this at Nordstrom for $75. But the scent is so amazing it is worth it. I only used this on special occasions so it lasted me 2 years and the scent was just as strong at the end as it was at the first. So go ahead - splurge a little and smell divine.

Okay, so anything rose-scented can be next to terrible at times. In fact, most times I would say that rose-scented things smell like an old lady (no offense to any rose-scented grandmas!). My grandmother, in fact, used to grow the largest roses that I have ever seen. They smelled amazing too. I have never smelled a rose lotion that captured that same scent until my friend gave me some rose- scented lotion from L'Occitane. Oh, hello. This is lovely. In fact I get compliments on it constantly. People are always asking what perfume I'm wearing - "it smells so wonderful!" "heavenly!" "amazing!" They are always shocked when I tell them it's my lotion and that it's ROSE lotion to boot. I loved it so much I went out and bought the shower gel to go with it. This is a mere $36.00 -- so definitely less of a splurge than Ms. Malone's lotion. But also divine scented.

I know there are more lovely lotions out there. Any favorites you'd like to share?
Enjoy!
