Scents of Security
It’s the season’s hottest accessory – there’s one in every It bag at the office, cocktail party and client dinner.
Thanks to H1N1-outbreak fears, clinical-smelling hand sanitizer is at everyone’s fingertips. And, as usual, you want one that’s just a little bit different – something that’s cuter, smells better and that’s sure to attract compliments. Here, a few of our finds.
Gotta Hand It To ‘Em
Calling this stuff “sanitizer” would be so lowbrow. If you’re plucked from a lush organic lavender farm on Maui, they’re going to call you a “no rinse hand cleanser.”Ali’i Kula’s Organic Lavender Waterless Hand Soap smells amazing and moisturizes with tea tree oil.
Pikake Some Up 
Divinely girly, the pikake-scented sanitizer from Lanikai Bath and Body will have you gesturing near your face, à la new engagement ring, just to get a whiff. Available at Lanikai Bath & Body, 600 Kailua Road, Kailua, 808.262. 3260.
With delicious scents like guava, lilikoi and coconut, Plumeria Rain's hand sanitizers are easy picks. Made with an ultra-moisturizing aloe base, these smell good enough to eat. Just be careful not to lick the bottle. That’s not sanitary. Available online at www.plumeriarain.com.
Make The Moist of It
EO Hand Sanitizing gel is plant-based and organic, which means it appeals to your inner hippie. But you won't reek of patchouli — luckily, it comes in lovely lavender or lemon scents. Available at Down to Earth, Pearlridge Center, 98-131 Kaonohi St., Aiea, 808.488.1375.
