This pair has caused quite a stir. It’s hard to decide which of these citrusy/musky scents makes us swoon more. However, “2″ smells exactly like the boy I was totally in love with 100 years ago in high school (and never knew if he liked me back - though the adult me who knows more about these things suspects that he did). That makes it my fave, but wistfully so.

My husband and I travelled to Kauai (the “Garden Island” of Hawaii) two years ago and we still talk about it almost every day. Imagine my delight when Annie unpacked a shipment of this new brand she had found. Malie Organics honours the Garden Isle by using only indigenous Hawaiian flora to create an extraordinary line of all natural luxury body care products. With scents like Coffee Macadamia Nut, Plumeria, and exotic star-shaped Pikake, they are impossible to resist.
