While there’s a scent for every season, a floral fragrance is timeless. It’s only February, but I’m retiring my warm and woodsy aromas and making like Punxsutawney Phil by manifesting an early spring via my perfume. Specifically, Kai Perfume Oil ($54), a classically flowery fragrance that counts Naomi Watts, Ellen Pompeo and Jennifer Aniston among its impressive celebrity fan base.
Kai’s signature perfume oil combines notes of gardenia, white florals and other essential oils for a sweet and subtle finish. (Notably, without any parabens, sulfates, phthalates or phosphates.) “I love Kai because it doesn’t smell perfumy,” gushes Hollywood icon Winona Ryder. “It just smells fresh and every time I wear it I get compliments,” she adds. Pamela Anderson shares similar sentiments: “I can’t go anywhere without someone saying, ‘What is that you are wearing?…I love it.”
This oil-based version of Kai’s original Eau de Parfum ($84) is packaged as a travel-friendly rollerball, at the ready to provide an on-the-go refresh wherever the day takes you.
While I’m happy to delude myself with scents of spring, the below-freezing temperatures still calls for winter-tailored skin care. Luckily I don’t have to sacrifice scent for ultra-hydrating body care. Kai’s signature scent is so iconic it’s incorporated into all of their products. My current go-to is the Body Butter ($54), a super-luxe cream formulated with nourishing shea butter, healing aloe, calming chamomile, cucumber, apricot and skin-loving vitamins A, C and E. “I love Kai’s Body Butter!” says Sarah Michelle Gellar. “It’s rich and keeps my skin hydrated all day. It smells amazing too.”
