The ideal bath begins with the lighting of a scented candle, and when this House of Dior product is burning, you'll feel as if you're soaking somewhere near a fruit-laden fig tree warmed by the Mediterranean sun. Buy it at Dior.

3. Kohler Iron Works Historic Bath ($2,544)

You'll need a claw-foot tub, of course. This elegantly modernized throwback offers excellent back support and has a slip-resistant floor. Like the classics, it's enameled cast iron. Buy it at Amazon.

4. Susanne Kaufmann Oil Bath for the Senses ($96)

"What could be more decadent than a liter of luxury bath oil?" Combining the soothing scents of ylang-ylang, patchouli, and lavender essential oils, this limited-edition jug of Susanne Kaufmann bath oil will last a lifetime. Buy it at Amazon.

5. The Ritz-Carlton Waffle Terry Robe ($106)

"There is nothing quite like slipping into a soft bathrobe in your hotel room after a long day of travel." Now that Ritz-Carlton sells its products online, you can feel "heaven on your skin" without leaving home. Buy it at Ritz-Carlton.
