Spent some time browsing TJ Maxx yesterday and here's a couple of lesser known, though completely interesting finds...
Hula Girl Cocount and Vanilla Body Mist
Notes: Coconut, vanilla
Pros: Kitschy packaging and low pricepoint; would make a swell gag gift - no pun intended.
Cons: Smells like a Vanillaroma car freshener.
Reminds me of: what did I just say?
The Bottom Line: Currently just $16.25 at ToniasTreasures, or perhaps even less at your local Maxx, this is a fun way to stink yourself up in the tropical aroma of a beachside cocktail. Longlasting (if you only knew) and inexpensive, the perfect summer gift for that person into Hula memorabilia or someone you truly despise.
Rating (out of 10): 3
Biotherm Eau Vitaminee Spray Refreshing Body Mist
Notes: citrus fruit, grapefruit, floral jasmine, freesia, white lily and white musk.
Pros: Inexpensively priced at your local Maxx; Vitamin E and citrus oil essences make skin soft and supple.
Cons: A bizarre misch-masch of notes that while fresh-smelling, certainly isn't terribly
appealing.
Reminds me of: Didn't bring too much to mind, but then I wasn't really focused on associations while scrubbing my right wrist for the 4th time.
The Bottom Line: Also available at Nordies for a whopping $36, this "refreshing fragrance mist" may be perfect to take to the beach for a refreshing after-sun shpritz. Alternatively, cut a grapefruit in half and squeeze it all over your sun-tanned body.

Lisa - thx so much for the kind words! I have a lot of fun - A LOT - writing this blog and like to explore all kinds of fragrances! You never know when you find a gem!
Oh gross, that Hula Girl stuff sounds like pure punishment to me. Yak! Can't say you didn't give it a chance though! :)
