Malin+Goetz Rum Tonic
Though it’s not formulated with pineapple or coconut, Malin+Goetz’s Rum Tonic ($48) smells like a piña colada in a bottle and I mean that in the best, not-overly-sweet, possible way! It’s refreshing, invigorating, made me smile when I spritzed it on myself, and it’s perfect for summer.
