A CHIC INSECT REPELLENT

Fragrance with function is the motto behind the chic insect repellents from Aromaflage. The line of natural fragrances combine quality ingredients to create products that are also scientifically proven to repel insects as well as those with extreme DEET formulas. But Aromaflage creations use botanical ingredients, are packaged beautifully and smell divine. 

The collection includes: Aromaflage (photo above) with vanilla, cedar wood, and orange ($65).

Aromaflage Wild ($65) with notes of spicy cardamom, warm cedar wood and spruce.

For outdoor entertaining, try the 9-wick soy wax candle in a gold hammered bowl ($225). 

Travel options include the Trio of Pursers featuring three travel sizes of Aromaflage, Aromaflage Wild and Aromaflage Sleep ($85).  

Find Aromaflage at Anthropologie, Dillard's or online at www.aromaflage.com. 

CIAO, BELLA

If a trip to the Italian Riviera isn't in your near future, indulge in this little luxury instead: Tom Ford Private Blend "Neroli Portofino" Shower Gel ($67 at Nordstrom). It's formulated with ingredients indigenous to the Mediterranean including olive fruit oil, grapeseed oil and date seed extract. The scent has citrus, floral and amber notes and its rich, lathering gel will leave you feeling refreshed - no passport required.
