Inexpensive massage oil?

Looking for a nice quality massage oil. In the past I've used Neals Yard but can no longer afford this
Was hoping for a rose or lavender scent. Am I better to buy a carrier oil & some essences or a pre mix & which supplier to choose given tiny budget ?

How tiny is the budget?

Also meant to say, I prefer massage bars to oil, there's so much less waste and often bars contain more essential oils. I love Battlegreen - their lavender and orange is amazing: https://battlegreen.co.uk/product-category/solid-lotion-bars/

I had a nice smelling one from the Body Shop, it was about £15. And there's cheaper ones on Amazon that smell ok.

@Arlanymor yes sorry budget would have been helpful! Up to £20 & I really like the idea of a solid bar too - thank you !

@StrawberryMatchaLatte I'd forgotten about The Body Shop - thank you!

You can get 50-100ml of a carrier oil (almond, hemp) and 5ml of a couple of essentials oils from eBay for £10-20. The oil grade may not be super high but something like lavender shouldn't be too pricey.

Thank you all.
I'm going to try the Body shop oil then probably get an almond carrier oil & some essential oils. I also like the look of the Edinburgh soap hand cream bar.
