NARS Ginger Grapefruit

Nars' bath and body line is the opportunity I have been waiting for: to expand my collection of their sleekly monochronic and perfectly geometric bottle designs from the vanity table to the bathroom. This new line, exclusive on Nars' official site for a year before launching in Nordstrom, should no doubt enhance the brand's reputation for costing an arm and a leg. A shower gel scented in grapefruit, which is about as ubiquitous as an ingredient can be, costs $40. Yes, it is the most upscale grapefruit-based scent I have come across and, yes, the addition of ginger does make it more intriguing, but one purchase will be enough of an indulgence.
