A fragrance body oil is a scented oil you wear on your skin instead of an alcohol-based perfume. Apply a small amount to slightly damp skin at your pulse points, patch test it first, and layer it over an unscented moisturizer if you want the scent to last. Store it away from heat and light.
What is a fragrance body oil?
It is a scented oil made to be worn on skin. Oil-based scents tend to sit close to the skin, so many people reach for them when they want something softer than a spray perfume. See our body oil collection. The Cashmere Body Oil (W), for example, is our own in-house interpretation of a classic scent, sold in roll-on and spray formats. It is not the original designer fragrance. Scents inspired by well-known perfumes are not made by or affiliated with those brands.
Where and how to apply it
- Apply after a shower to slightly damp skin.
- Use a small amount at the wrists, the sides of the neck and behind the knees.
- Do not rub the wrists together. Let the oil settle.
- Wait a few minutes before you dress, because oil can mark fabric.
How to make it last
Layer a fragrance oil over an unscented moisturizer, so your skin holds the scent better. For a bigger difference between moisturizer and oil read body oil vs body lotion.
Fragrance oil or skin-care oil?
Some body oils are mainly scent, and others are made to moisturize, such as the West Month Magic Luxury Body Firming and Moisturizing Oil and the OceAura Collagen Body and Massage Oil. Read each product page for what it is made for and for its ingredients.
Patch test and storage
Test any new scent on a small patch of skin and wait a day. Stop if you see redness, itching or irritation, and avoid broken skin. Keep the bottle closed, in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children.
