The Random Thing I Get the Most Compliments On

The other day, I forgot our sunscreen at home, so my friend Andy let me borrow his…

“Apparently, this is ‘the world’s best-smelling sunscreen,'” he told me, as he handed over the tube. “But, honestly, it kind of is.” The scent was developed by a cult fragrance brand, and I can only describe it as the warm, nostalgic, coconut-y, poolside scent of childhood. I loved it so genuinely and so instantly that I got both the everyday sunscreen and, somewhat randomly, the car scent. I couldn’t resist! Now every single person who comes in our car goes absolutely bananas. Over an auto air freshener. Who would have thought?

Something about the scent instantly transports me to…

outdoor showers…

cousins who look like twins…

the ice cream truck…

snorkeling in pools…

…and drinks o’clock.

Thoughts? What scents are you liking these days? This isn’t sponsored, I just love it so much! I’m even contemplating getting this sexy fragrance…too far?!

P.S. A very low-key summer checklist, and what random finds do you swear by?
