MOLTON BROWN'S FIRST-CLASS AIRPORT SPAS

Molton Brown, London's much-lauded bath, body, skin-care, and cosmetics brand, is now applying its bliss-inducing talents to a new range of luxurylifestyle home and travel accessories. Meticulously handcrafted by artisans around the globe, the lavish collection, a siren call to the well-lived life, includes such sumptuous pieces as Nepalese robes blending silk and Himalayan cashmere, Peruvian alpaca throws, double-fired Cornish glassware, and Italian-leather travel goods. The collection is available exclusively at the newly opened Madison Avenue flagship emporium, which, in addition to carrying all of Molton Brown's product lines, poses further temptation by way of an urban spa.

And if all this fails to excite a surge of serotonin in the veins, consider the Molton Brown Travel Spa now ensconced at New York's J.F.K. airport, following an opening at London's Heathrow. Deterred not a bit by the stiff challenge of bringing calm to the airport environment, bastion of all things frustrating, the company, in partnership with British Airways, is coddling the airline's premium passengers with a vast array of complimentary treatments. Exuding the air of an exclusive club, infused with restful colors, textures, and light, the spa offers services specifically designed to alleviate stress and fatigue, and prepares travelers for the moisture-suck of pressurized cabins. Nerve stabilizers, mind sharpeners, immune-system boosters, Shiatsu massages, and more will unknot the shoulders, soothe the soul, and send passengers on their way, pepped up, perky, and raring to go. Bid a final farewell to that beleaguered-traveler look.
