coconut grove
if you could travel to a tropical island any time you like, you probably wouldn’t get much else done. but if the lush scent of green leaves and fresh coconut should find you in your regular life, you could mentally transport yourself to the tropics while also managing spreadsheets. now that’s a compromise.

daffodil bouquet
we don’t know many people who receive flowers as often as they’d like. that’s a shame. so to make up for it, we’ve bottled the very essence of fresh-cut daffodils and lush green leaves tied with a bow—though you can’t smell the bow. if we could, we would present it to you on bended knee.

watermelon patch
you know that first bite into the first watermelon of picnic season? maybe the sun’s shining on you as the juice drips down your chin? we don’t know, it’s your fantasy. what we do know is that this delicate fruity watermelon scent is as luscious as they come.

Almost perfect
I found this scent at Target last year and bought so many, I haven’t had to replace my soap supplies in a year. I hope this scent stays around, because I love it! It’s not overly sweet like so many other handsoaps (including some by Method).
I just wish I could get this scent in a moisturizing formula. What happened to the moisturizing soaps, anyway? They’ve disappeared from Target’s shelves.
Wow!
Saw this product at a restaurant. Had to have it for my home. Ordered it online and two days later I received my shipment! WOW! Now that’s lighting fast!
Delicious scent.
The watermelon scent is amazing. Its very hard not to keep my hands near my nose and inhale.
I might start chewing my fingers next.
This is a wonderful scent, maybe Method could make this a staple scent? Please?

A beach in a bottle!
If you like coconut scents, you will like this. It is a cross between a pina colada, and suntan lotion.

Spring has sprung!
This has a strong floral scent similar to last years “hibiscous”.
