Best-Smelling Body Lotion No. 7: Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion
This $8 lotion is worth the price for the scent alone, which combines milk, honey, coconut and grape seed oils for a subtly sweet fragrance that doesn't overwhelm picky palates. The fragrance is 100 percent natural, and you can tell -- those prone to perfume-induced headaches agree that this lotion is a Holy Grail product.

Best-Smelling Body Lotion No. 6: The Body Shop Coconut Milk Body Lotion
This best-selling stuff, $13, is the olfactory embodiment of a Hawaiian vacay. Some coconut-scented body lotions are artificial and cloying, but The Body Shop's is delectably natural. It's true coconut: More fresh-off-the-palm-tree and less packaged piña colada mix.

Best-Smelling Body Lotion No. 5: Crabtree & Evelyn Rosewater Body Lotion
Somehow, the best part of this classic body lotion, $24, is not the gorgeous, girly packaging. The scent has undergone an update since its debut, but the current bouquet of rose, violet, peony and dewy foliage is just as heady and alluring. Think: French garden party meets Sunday brunch.

Best-Smelling Body Lotion No. 4: Philosophy Amazing Grace Whipped Body Creme
Philosophy's much-loved Amazing Grace fragrance features clean, feminine notes of bergamot, muguet blossoms and musk. Put in body butter form, $33, the result is an addictive elixir that may or may not be responsible for keeping the "Bath & Body" section of Sephora in business.

Best-Smelling Body Lotion No. 3: Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Body Lotion
If you're not familiar with the iconic scent of Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula, $5.50, then we're going to assume you are a Martian, beamed down to Earth to study us. We've all been smelling this beloved (albeit somewhat cloying) cocoa butter scent for decades. Objectively, it's not everybody's cup of tea, but we can't help but love it, simply for the cozy, comforting nostalgia.
