Beauty brands are constantly introducing new, innovative fragrance combinations to entice us, but there's just something about the simplicity of lavender. Nothing quite compares.
I know it's become a terribly common scent (thanks in part to the organic/all-natural movement), but that just gives us all the more lovely lavender-laced products to choose from. You'll hear no complaints from me...
If you're equally addicted, you must try:
Tammy Fender Bulgarian Lavender Body Oil
Jo Malone Amber & Lavender Bath Oil
Savon de Marseille Extra Pur Olive et Lavande Liquid Soap
Gianna Rose Atelier Lavender Scented Drawer Liners
Diptyque Feuille de Lavande Scented Candle
Neal's Yard Remedies Lavender Cleanser
Also, if you find yourself in Martha mode anytime soon, you can make your own lavender body scrub in the same time it takes to place an order. Just mix together one cup sea salt (or sugar if you'd like), 1 tbsp. vitamin E oil, 5-10 drops of lavender essential oil, 1/2 cup almond or grapeseed oil, and 2 tbsp. crushed dried lavender flowers (optional). Use this scrub immediately on dry skin for best results, or on damp skin for more mild exfoliation.
Absolutely true.
