One of my friends has a ritual whenever he goes on vacation: He takes a bath in the hotel tub. Apparently he’s got photos of himself soaking in tubs all over Europe and far-flung countries. And you thought a regular vacation slide show would be boring. Imagine this one: “We went to Spain. Here I am in a bathtub. We went to Paris. Here I am in a bathtub. We were on a cruise ship along the Adriatic … here I am in in a bathtub.”

But most guys aren’t tub-philes, so if you’re hoping to persuade them to bathe a deux this Valentine’s day, skip anything with an ultrafeminine scent, the color pink or (shudder) glitter or sparkles.

Here are some better choices for your arsenal, sold at Lush at Scottsdale Fashion Square:
• For bubble boys, the Marathon bubble bar ($5.25) includes mustard seed oil to help soothe sore muscles, and fragrant myrrh, olibanum (a near-relative of frankincense) and benzoin.
• For nonbubble boys, the You’ve Been Mangoed bath melt ($5.75) is rich in avocado and — yup — mango butters to moisturize skin. It’s scented with lime, lemon and lemon grass essential oils.
