The opening is built on sugar, marshmallow and vanilla. The heart moves to cream, vanilla chiffon and white chocolate. The base sets musk and resinous benzoin against sandalwood. Athena Club sums it up as "Marshmallow, all grown up." If you like that profile, the [Lights Lacquer Musk Be Mallow Hair & Body Mist](https://beauty-talk.club/posts/2282-lights-lacquer-musk-mallow-hair-body-mist-release-date-price-whats-new) is another marshmallow-led mist we've covered.

Athena Club's bestselling Golden Vanilla is built around vanilla. - It comes with a mini mist, and the Scent Stack bundle pairs Bare Gold with Golden Vanilla. ## Formula and Packaging - **Skin Perfecting Body Lotion:** According to Athena Club, it contains four types of hyaluronic acid, five ceramides, six nourishing oils and butters, niacinamide and peptides. The brand says it gives 24-hour moisture, is dermatologist tested and is suitable for sensitive skin. It comes in a 16 fl oz bottle. - **Hair & Body Mist:** Athena Club says it is made with 5% fine fragrance oil, which it calls "nearly double the industry standard." Other hair and body mists launched this season include the [Orebella Vanilla's Touch Body & Hair Perfume Mist](https://beauty-talk.club/posts/2368-orebella-vanillas-touch-body-hair-perfume-mist) and the [PLAYA Triptease All-Over Perfume Mist](https://beauty-talk.club/posts/2753-playa-triptease-all-over-perfume-mist). - **Mini Hair & Body Mist:** The brand says it is TSA-approved. It comes in a cloud-shaped bottle with a soft-touch loop that clips to a bag. Athena Club suggests applying the lotion first to hydrate and lightly scent the skin, then layering the mist to extend the fragrance. ## Up Close and Sweet Talk: The Other Holiday 2026 Scents Athena Club launched two more holiday scents on the same day, each priced at $12 for the lotion, $16 for the mist and $26 for the duo: - **Up Close:** black cherry, crushed violet, plum, cotton candy, vanilla cream, smoked amber and velvet musk. - **Sweet Talk:** berries, iris, cardamom, vanilla, cashmere and golden amber. Its lotion has a subtle shimmer.
