Since I’ve been doing this awesome Spring Scent Picks feature, I feel like I want to start a smell blog for things that smell good - from beauty products and the interior of new cars to old-fashioned magic markers and old-fashioned report cards. Ok, I’m showing my age now. Here are some more that I’m digging right now!

From L to R clockwise:

ELIZABETH ARDEN 'Pretty' Eau de Cologne Splash ($45/6.8oz @ elizabetharden.com)
CND SpaManicure Citrus Hydrating Lotion for the hands ($13.95/8oz @ bebeautiful.com)
ORGANIX Conditioner in Cherry Blossom Ginseng ($6.99/13oz @ cvs.com)
CRATER LAKE COMPANY Sugar Cloud Foaming Sugar Scrub in Honeysuckle Fizz ($15.95/11oz @ craterlakecompany.com)
LA NATURA 100% Vegan Pure Body Butter in Pomegranate ($30/4oz @ lanatura.com)
FLIRT! Rock-n-Roll Rebel Perfume Spray ($35/1.7oz @ kohls.com)
KINGS & QUEENS Sugar Showergel ($9/10.14oz @ select Target stores)

Disclosure: Some of these items were provided to Cybelesays.com for review purposes. Some I bought.

With each KINGS & QUEENS product I try, I like the line more and more - the packaging, the graphics and of course the product inside. My latest love from the line is the Sultan of Granada Lemon Flower Body Scrub ($11/6.76oz @ beauty.com). A little history from the back of the product:

During the long lasting dynasty of the Nasrid Sultans, the Spanish city of Granada was famous, among others, for its magnificent gardens. Every spring and summer, the blooming lemon trees sent over the walls and into the palaces the smell of Paradise.

Couldn’t have explained the title of this product better myself! Not only is this one rich with lemon but also Pomegranate, Blue Egyptian Lotus and Malachite extracts, like all their products.

I really think this line should be getting more attention.

The line also has products for men so hopefully those will be available stateside soon.

I have been a long time fan of HONEY. It never spoils, it’s sweeter than sugar, and it’s packed with vitamins and antioxidants. According the wikipedia, it’s the only food that includes all the substances necessary to sustain life, including water. Amazing! I really think this ingredient is highly overlooked when it comes to using it in beauty products as it proven to be able to attract and absorb moisture. So here’s out first of a four-part series on HONEY and beauty products that get it:

1. KINGS & QUEENS Nefertiti Honey ShowerGel ($10.82/10.14oz @ asos.com)
2. LE COUVENT DES MINIMES Honey Nutritive Lip Balm ($10/.5oz @ dillards.com)
3. LUSH Honey I Washed The Kids Soap ($7.95/3.5zo @ lush.com)
4. VERIKIRA NATURALS Honey Bath Body Polish ($38/16.64oz @ verikira.com)
