Best Bespoke Potions

If you want to smell like no one else, try mixing a selection from the more than 90 natural scents at Phuket's Lemongrass House?a small, bamboo-lined shop across from Surin beach in Phuket. There's everything from extract of anchan (a Thai flower better known for the violet food coloring it yields) to ylang-ylang (a fragrant oil distilled from the flower of a Cananga tree), but if you want to get really adventurous, American owner Bobby Duchowny will gladly oblige. He once created a bacon room spray (used by a hotel to lure guests to breakfast) and a body wrap made from Godiva chocolate, sake, Dead Sea mud and 24-karat gold flakes. Duchowny's skills aren't limited to arresting scents?he's made a natural insecticide to help organic farmers in Thailand, and Lemongrass House produces a nourishing range of spa products based on its signature blend of jojoba, sweet almond and vitamin E. But he loves a challenge, and encourages individual customers to experiment "with what smells and feels good to you." Champagne and dollar bills anyone?
